Water Absorb
Doryuuzu; Base 88 Speed, with the Sandstorm equivalent of Swift Swim. Base 135 Attack with Swords Dance and STAB Earthquake. Immune to Thunder Wave and Toxic. Assuming 252 Spe Jolly Doryuuzu, that's 604 Speed. 252 Atk Jolly after a Swords Dance is 738. Also carries Rapid Spin. Balloon removes its most common weakness.Nothing walls Doryuuzu - Forretress is 2-3HKOed by Earthquake, Nattorei is 3HKOed, Desukaan is 2HKOed, even Groudon is 3HKOed. And all of these Pokemon bar Groudon and maybe WillOWisp Desukaan can't really threaten it, so it can set up more SDs on them.
Well the problem with the new sleep mechanics is sleep -> setup -> get Pokemon to switch out -> sleeper comes back, counter is reset, another kill. What happens if they're the last Pokemon? Auto-win. What happens if they decide to switch them in again later? Setup -> kill, leaving the rest of the party in shambles. Getting a setup in while they switch out the sleeping Pokemon is good enough and wasn't too bad a game breaker, but hey, having another shot to do the same thing a couple more times is terrible. But this is still just theorymon and I don't think I'll ever try this int he actual metagame considering I'm off Pokemon for whatever reason.
The Pokemon who hit a super majority and will be gone from the metagame starting next round are: Darkrai, Deoxys-A, Deoxys-N, and Shaymin-S. Manaphy hit a simple majority and will therefore automatically be a suspect next round, where one more simple majority will seal its fate. Doryuuzu and Latios did not even hit a simple majority, and therefore need to be re-nominated next round if people still feel like they're broken.
