I used all of these pokes when I was 8-12 and was just tickled when I returned for competitive play in Platinum and found out they were viable.

Nobody tanks as well as scizor and drops bullet punches as well as scizor.

I don't think there's anything wrong with running him, he's one of the few OU pokemon who aren't completely unpleasant to fight against (u-turn is a little annoying but he's slow as fuck) and he has a widely available, incredibly strong counter (any special fire move)

Scizor is awesome, but he's also fair.
Probably one of the best pokemon in terms of design, balance and power.

The biggest for me would probably be Prankster. My favourite ability in the game because you can be incredibly creative. I love Klefki, and you can't stop me.

Its base power is a little high for a move that's basically a free switch. They should probably lower it down to 61

This guy, actually.
Love at first sight when he was revealed, it's a pretty slick design with a cool theme based on an awesome critter. I was excited when I learned of his unique ability and the tricks it allowed him to pull off, but I never expected he'd be quite as powerful and prevalent as he is right now. His usage will depress a bit as the new mon smell wears off, but he is a surprisingly solid Pokemon and may not leave OU. I've had to put up with abuse for using the smogonburd but I stand by him.

The most damning OU pokemon to use in my opinion are the genies/kamis, though I understand how useful they are.

Why are people saying this mon is so good? All its stats are mediocre except for speed and priority flying moves are pretty useless when you have base 126 speed. Flying isn't even a good attacking type.

As far as attacking types go, it's definately in the top third. SE on Fighting and Grass is nice and wide neutral coverage.

Priority is just the meta right now. Talonflame was a good counter to Blaziken before Blaziken went back to Ubers.

It's faster than other priority users, Brave Bird hurts, since it's resisted by Electric (hardly any physically defensive electrics), Rock, and Steel (most steel types are slower than a minimum speed Talonflame and get hard by Flare Blitz).

Stealth rock as a whole being less common right now because of the lack of tutors and pokebank helps a lot.

STAB Brave Bird hits like a motherfucker regardless of its Attack, unless you resist it. It's only resisted by Electric, Rock and Steel, one of which is weak to fire which means it dies to STAB Flare Blitz or Flamethrower. Like Speed Boast Blaziken, its lack of bulk and shitty defensive typing are made up for by being able to outspeed everything, which means it can OHKO most things. Gale Wings, like Speed Boost for Blaziken, is the one lynch pin holding Talonflame in OU/Uber.

I use Volcarona because Larvesta isn't really viable in doubles. Perfect accuracy Hurricanes in the rain is also fun.

I guess Scolipede is OU now with speed boost, but I've loved it since first sight in White. Something about a 9 foot tall centipede horse with a bad temper is really cool.

That almost goes hand in hand with "because they are good"

Anyone who likes Smogon Bird just because of Gale Wings is a perfect example of this.

Back when Swampert was OU, I used him because he became my eternal bro when I played through sapphire with him for the first time. When he became water/ground it was just even more awesome.

I wanted to use Honedge from the second I saw it. Then as the game progressed, I realized how tough it was, and once I taught it King's Shield, I realized how easily abused this would be. I had trained an OU and I felt dirty.

But what made me put my Aegislash in the box and never use him again was the fact that I was fucking sick of seeing one on EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TEAM in the battle spot. Same goes for Greninja, Goodra, Talonflame, etc.
