@Neosquid; Garchomp, the best thing in the OU tier until being banned, used to get completely walled by Bronzong. The main catch of the Mew set in supporting Sharpedo is that it dents Sharpedo's counters heavily whilst providing an element of unpredictablness on the turn it switches in as well as a bulky pivot. Sableye puts an end to almost any physical attack without Lum Berry...that is its niche...

Augh! They banned Snow Cloak!

Now Venusaur is going to rape my team!

How does snow cloak stop Venusaur? That makes no sense.

Mamoswine is illegal without Oblivious now...

[Takaki]

Thick Fat was always better than Snow cloak anyway.

Isn't TF Mamo illegal with Stealth Rock?

Last I checked Mamoswine only got SR as a gen 4 tutor move, and that's illegal in the DW.

There is a stealth rock move tutor in b2w2.

I think it is actually really sad that the BW stealth rock move tutor had far less of a benefit than expected.

I was pumped on a dual hazards ferrothorn, way back then. But it is impossible to setup multiple hazards with a mon this slow.

[Takaki]

In the rain it usually gets good opportunities to set up hazards provided you can get a good balance on it so that you have good switch ins to potential free its from your opponent and you also have the correct balance between offensive attacks (gyro ball and power whip) and Thunder Wave/Leech Seed/Protect.

In ubers especially, I would place Ferrothorn as possibly the third best Pokemon in the entire metagame (behind Kyogre and Arceus) and also among the only five things in the game that can actually win an entire match on their own (the others being Arceus, Rayquaza, Phazer Lugia and dual status Darkrai).

Speaking of Darkrai, has anybody here ran him for support him ubers?

[Synthesis]

Sorry for the absence as of late guys. Real life's been kicking my ass.

I'll make a discussion thread as soon as I come up with one or a good one gets suggested to me.

[Takaki]

@Synthesis;

Underated/unexpected movesets could be an interesting one to get discussion going on whether people's stuff is viable or not.
