So you don't think that there is a lack of rapid spin? Seeing how 4 OU/BL pokemon learn, I hardly think its abundant.I think the Wish/Haze or the Utility poke in other words would be best suited for the metagame because we lack in them. Auto SR remover is pointless since we have Rapid Spin imo. Trick Room/Gravity is also a concept I'm liking so far. Both of those concepts would change the OU metagame by far.
What's more annoying than an auto SR remover? ;)Concept: OU Annoyer
Description: A pokemon with OU level competitiveness that bases its strategy around annoying the opponent into submission through various methods.
Actually, I don't think there's a lack in Rapid Spin. Tentacruel, Donphan and Forretress do a superb job at Rapid Spinning. There's aboslutley no point in making a pokemon just to remove SR when we already have 3 great Rapid Spin users. On that note, it's just my opinion.So you don't think that there is a lack of rapid spin? Seeing how 4 OU/BL pokemon learn, I hardly think its abundant.
Haze/Wish is pretty overrated. Stealth Rock hurts a team, and pokemon viability a lot more than lack of wish or haze. Most OU teams don't use a phazer, so is Haze needed? Wish too isnt as needed to most teams as a rapid spinner.
Yeah, I was thinking of something along those lines, but more as well (as there are very good pokes that do that already). Basically, something that's able to get in and prevent the opponent from doing its job. But, in addition to just the basic annoying strategies, have it be able to effectively use Heart Swap, Embargo, Imprison, Gastro Acid, Taunt, etc.What kind of annoyance? Doublestatus, Subseed, Hax, Haze?
I don't see your point about changing the metagame, because that's precisely what Revenankh has done. And its not as easy as Revenankh counter + rapid spin because I can bet you any amount of money that Revenankh will outsurvive Starmie, Donphan, Tenta and Forry and will come in easily on them all day long. Any time the spinners come out, Revenankh will be there in a flash and block it.So the only reason for an auto SR remover is because of Rev? We're not supposed to change the metagame because of that pokemon no? And just pack a Rev counter and then Rapid Spin.
Aldaron said:Concept: Utility-Support Pokemon.
Description: There is a serious lack of Gravity, Rapid Spin, Wish, non Dark weak Trick Room, OU viable Heal Bell / Aromatherapy, Encore, Memento, Non Dark weak Perish Song, Psycho Shift, Safeguard, Magic Coat, Me First, Snatch, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Tailwind and Haze Pokemon in our lovely Metagame. I don't know what type, what stat distribution or even what kind of Pokemon would effectively use all those, but I want to build a utility Pokemon for the useful yet less used utility moves. If I had to narrow the field a bit, I would emphasize Tailwind, Gravity, non Dark weak Trick Room, Rapid Spin, Wish and Encore. The normal utility moves like Reflect and Light Screen go without saying.
