I touched on hera moving to UU a while back. Its best counters people can think of right now is defensive nidoqueen with aerial ace, or dugtrio though he must be wary of the scarfed ones.
Yanmega is considered BL, thereby banned from UU play until staff agrees that hera is also BL.
Cross will PROBABLY be dominant in UU. Forces Moltres to run Timid, beats up Venusaur, Milotic, and Registeel, etc. Sub + 3 Attacks will not be fun to fight in UU.
Swellow can outspeed that set and strike back with Brave Bird, exterminating FO Cross. Houndoom is faster than Heracross can OHKO non-scarfed ones with Fire Blast, so can Scyther with is Aerial Ace. There’s counters all around really, depends on the situations and if heracross is forced into choice items.
ahh i see, i havent really played much of UU, good to know, thanks :tup:
on another note i just got a cheap DSLite of ebay to play some B&W, and would like to know which would you recomend to have some decent pokes to transfer to B&W, HG/SS or Platinum??
EDIT: so in smogon and serebii theres this interview with the pokemon designers and what they based of to make the starters and they says that grass was based on a snake, fire on a pig and watter on an otter and sea lion based on international folklore (Europe, China and Japan respectively), all 3 match with the images posted a while back… looks pretty much comfimed, what do you think?
I can’t fathom what to believe, if the designers say what they are I’m pretty much are gonna side with them. I guess
As for Swellow, yeah it’ll out speed all non-scarfed heracross most certainly. Swell has a speed base of 125 something, totally out speeding a gengar. Hell even a timid alakazam, considering a jolly nature.
lol? I’ve been waiting to see a pure flying type forever. TBH, I never understood why all the things you’d think would be pure flying end up being Normal/Flying in the first place.
