looks like salamence is uber now, the only reason its uber now is that people were complaining about its power.

who's next: dragonite? flygon?, I could just imagine that in 2 months: the only non-uber dragon would be altaria

Is it true that gravity can raise the accuracy of some moves, if it can then I feel sorry for the uber pokemon once a soul dew latias unleashes its 100% accuracy thunder after a calm mind...

[LOW]

in my opnion, Shaymin-S has OU written all over it:

4x weak to Ice
weak to stealth rock
countered by heatran if shaymin does not have earth power
countered by scizor if shaymin does not have hidden power fire
shaymin has low defence and special defence, 75 base defence and 75 base special defence is LOW

Does magic guard negate life orb damage because if it does, I might start using life orb clefable in my gravity team.

clefable @ life orb
modest nature
252 HP / 252 SpAtk
- gravity
- thunder
- fire blast
- blizzard

OU tier, life orb clefable is coming....

I never said latias was not uber, I just not see it on latias's smogon page.

but yeah, I did not think latias would be uber untill the 5th gen games: black and white, came out point out the latias would have new moves to destroy pokemon with...

speaking of dragons, I wonder how the OU would change if salamence went to uber, assuming it will get new moves in black and white to make it the next garchomp...

I AM NOT SAYING SALAMENCE WILL BE UBER!!! I am asking how will the current metagame change: will flygon and dragonite be used more often.


after all: salamence>dragonite>flygon>kingdra

the beldum steven gave me on emerald
HP 19
ATK 31 (THANK YOU!!)
DEF 23
SP.ATK 7
SP.DEF 28
SPEED 29

my opnion: SpAtk could have been better but then again, its an adamant natured beldum so I do not care

its on emerald so you know what that means.......CLONING!....WITHOUT ACTION REPLAY!!!!!

So another good OU pokemon goes up to uber, I think garchomp was OU at some point.

I have a good feeling that azelf will become uber soon, I do not have a verry good reason but it is possible

I have to agree with Zy, I can see Raikou breaking out of UU with Aura Sphere, but not so much Weather Ball. An offensive Calm Minder would definitely give it some use in OU, especially as Latias gets moved up to Uber. Calm Mind/Thunderbolt/HP Ice/Aura Sphere @ Life Orb would be the set I'd run, with Aura Sphere having a high chance of OHKOing TTar even without a boost.

why would latias move up to uber, as for raikou: it would be a threat to OU with its new moves

why is mew uber as it has the same stats as celebi, jirachi and shaymin.

Yes, i know it has a large movepool but other then that, it is not that strong unless it has a life orb, leftovers or choice item to help it sweep or wall.

it ability is not too powerful and in my opinion mew is only good at baton passing due to swords dance, rock polish, nasty plot, amnesia, calm mind, charge beam and iron defence in its verry large movepool.

sine we can not say "x is sucky" can we say that "x is more powerful then y"

for example, salamence is better then dragonite as it is faster and has the same base attack stat(I think)

since latias and latios are verry similar, their counters are similar due to both movepools being verry similar along with same typing.

one word: pursuit, if it can kill latias quite easily and latios has lower defences then it should do more damage to latios.

off topic: why is espeon NU, it should be UU. also why are dusknoir and ninjask OU.

ninjask is weak and is a pure baton passer and can not do anything else
dusknoir is a little bit useful but now the rotom appliances are OU, i see no real use for dusknoir in OU and it should be BL

Rather than explain using words, I would be more than happy to arrange a battle over Shoddy OR WiFi since I have a Latios there as well, and show you WHY it is uber and why even with Life Orb, after simply 1 Calm Mind it is capable of annihilated the whole OU metagame. Scizor cannot take repeated Thunderbolts and U-Turn doesn't so enough damage.

jolteon can outspeed latios and can do a lot of damage with a choice specs/life orb.
latios will kill jolteon but it resists thunderbolt, grass moves and surf(i think) so it has a chance to kill latios but that chace is a small one.

also, why is espeon NU?, have you seen its speed and special attack

scizor can ALMOST counter latios if it does not have hidden power fire or a choice item as scizor can used x-scissor to hit latios on its lower, 80 base defence and do lots of damage(only if scizor has a choice item).
also, if it is a swords dance scizor, it will be more likely to get killed as it needs to set up and latios can 2HKO scizor with any special attack that is not a dragon attack as scizor resists dragon moves.

if i am wrong, can someone correct me as I do not use damage calculations: I use common sense

for example: a gyarados holding a life orb using waterfall after using 2 dragon dances will do a lot of damage to forretress

I am curious, WHY IS LATIOS UBER!!!

without a soul dew, it is basically a latias clone.

sure it has these base stats:
HP 80
Atk 90
Def 80
SpAtk 130 
SpDef 110 
Speed 110

it has a total of 600, and its movepool is verry similar to latias also it has the same type and ability.
the only reasons its uber is because of the soul dew.

the difference between latias and latios is that latias has the same stats except latias has more special defence and defence.

my point is that latios should be OU
