I've actually seen quite a lot of Tentacruel lately, and that's in OU. It's those decent defensive stats combined with Rapid Spin and Toxic Spikes that make him so valuable. | ::I've actually seen quite a lot of Tentacruel lately, and that's in OU.

I have no freaking clue what Claydol is doing in OU. He's UU, sure, he's a top-quality UU, but he certainly should never be higher than BL. | ::I have no freaking clue what Claydol is doing in OU. He's UU, sure, he's a top-quality UU, but he certainly should never be higher than BL. | ||
Like I've said, the huge things that are really eating me are Garchomp and Scizor. Anyone who play competitively knows that almost every team has a Scizor, and that none of them have Garchomp because he's Uber.

:My god. If you think Garchomp is BL, you are freaking retarded. I don't mean to be rude, but he's been known as one of the most devastatingly fearsome OUs since D/P came out, and now he's considered to powerful for OU and Smogon moved him up to Uber. <br> | :My god.

The fact is, a Pokémon can't be considered weak just because it has one compound weakness. The vast majority of Pokémon actually do have one (think Scizor, one of the most popular Pokémon in the game right now.) Also, nearly all Garchomps carried Yache berries, meaning they can take an Ice Beam and KO you due to those powerful moves and a massive Attack stat. It was way too common for Garchomp sweeps to decide the outcome of a battle, so Smogon banned him. They did their research, too, it wasn't a hasty decision. They spent upwards of a month battling without him to see how the metagame would change, and his disappearance changed everything. <br> | :The fact is, a Pokémon can't be considered weak just because it has one compound weakness.

::::Physical attacks also won't do much to a Pokémon with 100 base {{stat|Defense}}. Just think about it.

==Empoleon== | |||
I really think Empoleon belongs to the Overused tier due to its major resistances, 1 immunity, not effected by sandstorm and resists stealth rock. Also adding its super special attack stat makes this pokemon worthy of being OU. [[User:Masterdude|Masterdude]] 21:28, 5 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
