>>12169526Rain is the most common weather, carry belly drum poliwrath and you can generally rape the entire team since very few pokemon - and none I've ever seen on a rain team - resist Water/Ice/Fight tri-coverage.
Sand is easily raped by scarfed Medicham, only Landorus and Gliscor are big threats and even then you're fully capable of using ice punch to predict, or just switching out and come back. Hippowdown tanks Medicham pretty well and while it can't really damage it in return it can WoW and ruin his whole day.
Fire isn't that strong to begin with, Venusaur is just a pain in the ass if you let it start abusing growth, even then, anything steel generally walls him pretty well depending on if he has HP fire or ground.
The reason weather is so common in OU is because no one stops to be creative enough to realize that counters exist in lower tiers and then they get pissy when those counters wind up killing the fuck out of their team.
In terms of over-centralization, it's definitely bad at times but I'd say that UU is definitely worse than OU however. Ubers too if you count how every team is running some combo of Groudon, Kyogre, Mewtwo, Darkrai, Lugia and Arceus.
