Well, maybe its just me, but I've noticed that alot of things have been changing around somewhat on the PBS. It's not a whole new metagame, but I would like you people to share your opinions.
Gengar. Sweet stats. 358 special, and 318 speed. Not to mention immunity to the most common type. IMO, gengar is a beast. It also gets access to some of the best moves - confuse ray, explosion, etc. I've noticed that gengar has changed things around a bit. The first observation is that it makes persian, venusaur, and victreebel switch. Venusaur and victreebel can't touch it with there normal attacks, and gengar is resistant to ground. Gengar is immune to persian's slash and hyperbeam attacks. With 358 special, bubblebeam doesn't touch gengar.
Gengar also forced the standard lax set to change as of recently. Surf is now very, very stupid to use on snorlax with all of the gengar's running around. It's been dropped for earthquake. This effectively means that golem can actually take down snorlax now(I'm pretty sure its a 3HKO on both sides, correct me if I'm wrong, and additionally, golem is faster).
Tauros now has to have earthquake. I know that everyone has been using 'slam, quake, beam, blizzard forever now, but I tried out a substitute, rest, and thunder tauros. Everything there worked perfect, but with gengar around, earthquake was a most.
Gengar actually shuffled the game around a little bit, if any of you have noticed.
Counter. This is probably what made the biggest effect on the metagame IMO. Although there haven't been many moveset changes besides fishlax to quakelax, counter is just quite evil on chansey, because an earthquake from snorlax or tauros doesn't harm chansey too much. I like counterlax too, thats even more evil. After tauros takes a bodyslam from snorlax, snorlax uses counter next turn and OHKO's tauros. Ownage.
So uh yeah, please reply. Just say what you think of counter, gengar, and etc. Also, resting eggy hasn't been used in years, and I actually think that it is superior to explosion eggy. I currently like psychic, stunspore, sleep powder, and rest, but thats just me. It lets me parylize there whole team, and PP wastes psychics from other alakazams like no other(or seismic tosses). Has anyone else tried a resting eggy and had good success with it?
