Anyways, how about... Druddigon?
I use a TR team with Druddigon. He wreaks havoc mostly as long as Steelix/Ferroseed are out of the way.

That's kind of untrue; Feraligatr counters both fairly easily. Well, Nidoqueen at least.The first two suspects in this new era are Moltres and Nidoqueen; both have hardly any counters, and are top-tier offensive threats.

Overall, Moltres is incredibly broken in RU. There are maybe five pokemon who can successfully revenge kill it, and I'm not sure how many can take a hit and KO Moltres. It is pretty fast, even with its low bulky. Eviotortle maybe... Oh, and Quagsire, if Moltres isn't running HP Grass. .__.
All in all, I don't Nidoqueen should be banned. Moltres is a big threat, however, and should be sent out of RU soon imo.
part of the definition of a counter is being able to switch in reliably. so no, because it risks a thunderbolt.That's kind of untrue; Feraligatr counters both fairly easily. Well, Nidoqueen at least.
hurricane is the thing that puts it over the top, because now slowking is no longer a counter.Hard to say if Moltres should go to UU or not. It's tied for the highest Special Attack stat with five others in RU, has excellent coverage with Fire Blast + Hidden Power Grass + Hurricane or Air Slash, and has reliable recovery.
Feraligatr can't switch into either of them actually, and is outsped by both of them (no one runs max Speed Feraligatr), and Aqua Jet doesn't OHKO either of them. Wartortle is never seen, and Quagsire is 2HKOed by both of them as well, and Moltres commonly runs HP Grass to OHKO it. They're both kinda outclassed by Poliwrath and other bulky Waters as it is though. Also, to be honest one of the major reasons why Moltres isn't broken is because it has a large number of revenge killers. There are many fast Electric-types in RU, such as Manectric, Rotom, Galvantula, and Scarf Rotom-C, all of which can revenge kill Moltres. Primeape and Hitmonlee commonly run Stone Edge, and Primeape naturally outspeeds while Hitmonlee can use a Normal Gem Fake Out to activate Unburden. Faster special attackers such as Typhlosion, Sceptile, and Accelgor all commonly run HP Rock, and instantly real with Moltres. Archeops and Aerodactyl both outspeed it and KO with STAB Rock moves, and Fire-types such as Magmortar and Entei have the bulk to take a Life Orb Hurricane without Stealth Rock on the field, and KO back with Thunderbolt and Stone Edge respectively. Aqua Jet is fairly common from Kabutops and Feraligatr (it's a good check yes, but no counter), and Stealth Rock severely cripples it. Lanturn and Slowking are its best defensive checks, although they can bith be beaten with hazards on the field. So yeah, Moltres is harder to directly counter than before, but still as easy to check.
