Actually, that's just another example of a person who would play OU without weather.^ Ty for ruining this convo -_-
But would that really hurt the metagame?Though Rain ban = less Gastro
I get really bored of weather because every other battle i'm facing the same team over again.
OU got really boring. Fast. So I stopped playing it. I like RU ans NU because they're evolving at a significant rate.
Or the odd Shuckle or Analytic Magnezone. Seriously, Analytic Magnezone's Thunder hurts a lot.I kinda agree here, which is why I think BH's new challenge in the CRMT section is a pretty cool idea. OU becomes a lot more fun when you try to use a lesser used Pokemon to capitalize on its niche. Now, that doesn't mean use stuff like Masquerian when there are clearly better choices, but something with a nice niche like Kingdra or Nidoking.

I usually run it with dual screens support (it doesn't do the supporting though), in the rain with Thunder and water Hidden Power. 4th slot goes to Protect or Substitute (deepening on my mood).This I will partially agree, but Fighting types, Ground types, and Fire types really ruin it, especially when a crapload of stuff OHKO-2HKOs it, especially stuff that resist Thunder/electric STAB.

Ugh...I'll be back...with a solution...maybe...most likely not.Now you are completely walled by Gastro.
I don't find weather that bad, I use it occasionally but I tend to try to be different than others. I dislike how filled Ou is with steel types. I feel like some of them don't deserve to be Ou. I mean, if you pack a fire type move on your team, your next to guaranteed a ko even with rain up >.<
