[SMOGON] Giratina-O being tested in OU? Thoughts?
#2
if you want to hear good reasons why he belongs in OU check out this video by PokeaimMD he is a showdown mod and a UU council member. The main reason he gives to bringing down gira-o is that he checks many of the top tier OU mons. instead of repeatedly banning pokemon, bring down a mediocre uber mon that has a nice place in OU. He not only will have a nice niche in the current OU, but he could bring down previous OU mons that went uber. Greninja is the most likely IMO as the two reasons he went ubers was Gunk shot/low kick and gira walls those. Greninja now has a place in OU since gira is a strong counter. others have talked about the possibilities of Mega mence coming to OU as well, but he has a very good spot in ubers as a sweeper and is less likely to happen IMO. he also has no reliable recovery whatsoever besides rest, and i mean none whatsoever, not even an item to help since he holds griseous orb the whole time. though griseous orb is a good item, he could use better. this comes with a bigger problem as he can not be Knocked off and while he still takes super effective damage, knock off is lackluster without the boosted power.

TL;DR he fits very well in OU and fixes the problems of the metagame without repeatedly banning the good pokemon
