[Discussion] Thoughts on the Competitive Meta?

[Lord Windos]

Never knew about Jerbolta-N being so powerful. Thanks for the update~! You can gain access to the Salec berry, though, through pickup. You just have to level that Mon to obscene levels just to have a good chance at getting one...

Couldn't Encartress be Number 3 ground threat? It has good Defensive typing (4x to grass, but coverage can handle that), has its HA for setting up sandstorms for rock/steel/ground teams, can cancel other weather with its HA, and can wall all the really dangerous Fire and Electric types that like to prance around. Its speed is a problem, but its bulky enough to be able to use leftovers effectively.

Elextruco is probably the No 1 water threat at the moment, besides maybe Gyarados and Sheer Force Diakatuna (and its mega, maybe)(Not counting Syrentide). Its mega can set up weather and give Thunder 100% chance of hitting, support rain teams, and power up its water stabs as well. Throw in Ice Beam for Boltbeam and things become rather sunny for it.

Alpico might also be a threat in the OU, but I will have to look into the pokemon for more info...
