Genesect (who iirc is in some communities but not in others?), Thundurus-T, and Resolute Forme Keldeo. Pick any one of these three. I'd like to see all three gone, but you can pick just one. The fact that all three are around makes pretty much every two out of three OU teams I encounter a rain team with two or even all three of them on there. (And Tornadus-T too until just now!)

Genesect in banned on Smogon. Thundurus-T is hardly anything major(base 101 speed really is a letdown), and Keldeo is hardly a threat as long as the Lati twins are around.

I'm not asking for your assessment on how easy they are to deal with. I'm saying I fucking hate a metagame where they're all one ever sees.

Also, I DON'T USE LEGENDARIES! -_-; @ your Lati recommendation

Honestly, P-O is a joke. They are mostly used my newbier players who don't get the incatricies. I almost never see Thundurus-T, and the only Keldeo's anyone uses is the Scarf version.

Genesect is banned on Pokemon Showdown(Smogon), so there is incentive there.

EDIT: You could also use Jellicent or any resonably bulky Water/Psychic (defensive Starmie comes to mind, as well as Slowbro/King)

A sort of announcement for everyone:

Pokemon Showdown! now has RBY implemented. No ladder is available yet, but if you ever want to go on and see me there, feel free to send a challenge my way. As of right now, it's under Gen 1 custom game when you go to challenge. I've just learned about the tier and I'm loving it.

EDIT: Oh yeah, stuff like Sleep Clause isn't implemented yet, so that's an honor system thing as of now.

I agree with this. PO is a rather subpar simulator now compared to PS.

I still prefer P-O, but we can't record battles on P-O anymore.

Everybody needs to go do a random battle on PS today. I don't care if you don't like it, just do it.

Ah, that's part of Smogon's Create a Pokemon project. In short, the community comes together and creates a concept Pokemon, then tests how well it will do in the current metagame.

Mollux is one of Smogon's Create-a-Pokémon (CAP) Pokémon. Perhaps you saw it outside of CAP today because of April Fool's?

CAP Pokemon always have a chance to show up in the Random Battles tiers, no matter what the day. They don't show up in Challenge Cup, however.

I'm glad you thought that, because I was actually the person who designed that one! I only ended up having time for that and Lopunny (which made its way to being my Smogon avatar) but those were the only two that I actually had really funny ideas for, and everyone else did a great job on theirs so it all worked out.

Scrafty is a boss. My UU team can have a hard time handling him if he gets enough Bulk Up boosts.

Just watch out for Heracross and Meinshao. Hercross usually runs Scarf and has Moxie as well, and if you are using a DD set, keep in mind that a Scarf Meinshao outspeeds a +2 Scrafty.
