Well I brought this up in IS, but I really don't think Garchomp is Uber with deoxys-e around, since the speed boost from dragon dance make users of that move more potent than Garchomp, who really plays more as a wallbreaker with a chance to sweep. Bot

HP Ice Bronzong can help counter Garchomp.

Cresselia and Gliscor basically cover all the main metagame threats. Manaphy is the scariest thing though, so needs more that.

manaphy is gay
chances are if you don't have CM or Sing Bliss
or Raikou w/ Light Screen support

your team is weak to it
which is why I never think of it when making a team

if you are in depserate need of something to swap into Gyarados, Rhyperior can do it.
STalk Machamp beats Tyranitar, and primeape can come in on Crunch and smack it about.

Empoleon makes a good CSmence counter.

It also blocks manaphy to an extent, but doesnt do anything back since grass rope does shit to it. Yawn I guess?

I just realised the absolute shitload of stuff that Mesprit counters. Might use it now, as unlike Cress it actually hits hard.

Anything that counters Alakazam counters Gardevoir.

On a side note, the only thing harder to counter than Manaphy is Jumpence (Choice Specs Mence) which will probably always take one pokemon from your team at least.

No damnit. It isn't Jumpmence. He SAID that he didn't want it called that. It's CSpecsMence at most.

Fuck Jumpman, I'm now calling it MitchMence. I didn't invent the set, but I wanna take credit from someone. j/k :lol: \

What about Cresselia counters, huh? :P

Weavile take Ice Beams like a man and usually scare Cress away.

Dusknoir makes an equally leet Cress counter, taking shit all from any of it's moves, stalling it to death and spanking it with Shadow Punch. Hard.
