Don't yell at me. I don't just use top-tier pokemon. I just separate them.
P.S. Latias doesn't deserve to be uber, if she is. neither does latios, kureseria, or any of legend trios (unless you count Groudon, etc. as one of the trios.) And I probably shouldn't yell at people for using mixed-tier teams; It's sort of hipocrital because for confidential strategic reasons I keep the OU pokemon Sceptile and Gengar in my Uber team. And Shuckle IS OU, a nearly indestructible turtle-esque fungus that sits around using toxic is pretty good if you ask me. And yeah, I guess in the advance gen you could call Rapidash UU because of small phys. movepool.
maybe I am being dumb, but for the record, I try only to yell at the ones who seriously think their mixed team would do good competively.
also why are you defending tier mixers I'm pretty sure your team is all-OU except when you swap seviper with arbok.
also, I'm not getting mad at you I'm just defending my self from seeming mean which you did a good job of making me look like.
I'm not yelling at you and I'm sorry if thats the way it seemed.
Latias and Latios DO deserve that position in tiers, as they have excellent typing, a great movepool and a useful ability. Lets not forget great stats as well.
This basically gives a more detailed explanation:

The current trios are not and the future ones are probably not going to be either. Crecelia is doubtful too.
Pure uber teams don't necesarilly mean they are the best either. Shedinja (an underused) usually walls Kyogre, Latias, Latios and most of the uber Pokémon completely.
Shuckle is underused.

Its not too good either to be honest, since it takes time to work. Its main problem however, is that poor HP. Super-effective hits really take HUGE dents out of Shuckle's HP. It's an ok Pokémon, but not THAT good. It can work though.
Arbok is underused
Seviper is underused
Aerodactyl is standard (ou)
Feraligatr is underused
Sceptile is standard (ou)
Charizard is borderline
Salamence is standard (ou)
The reason why I posted what i did is because when people post teams (outside of RMT) without wanting advice, and as you pointed out, without claiming its undefeatable and whatnot, it's unfair and unwanted to criticise it.
But my previous post sums up what I wanted to say anyway.
I suppose some of my anger stems from seeing many others criticising teams out of nowhere and I assumed you were thinking in that same brainless way.
Brainless, because its almost robotic: Someone says there team is like all non-legendaries plus Latias (actually happened once) and people were like:
OMG LATIAS IS UBER, YOUR TEAM IS UNFAIR!!
REMOVE LATIAS NOW!!!
etc.
This was NOT in CRMT by the way.
