The most cookie-cutter OU teams for each generation. Please tell me if I'm doing it right.

Gen 1: Tauros, Chansey, Alakazam, Zapdos, Rhydon/Golem, Starmie

Gen 2: Snorlax, Forretress/Cloyster, Starmie, Skarmory, Blissey, Zapdos/Raikou

Gen 3: not sure about this one. I'm going to guess Tyranitar, Swampert, Skarmory, Forretress, Blissey and Zapdos?

Gen 4 (pre-Garchomp ban): SR lead, Garchomp, Garchomp counter 1, Garchomp counter 2, Garchomp counter counter 1, Garchomp counter counter 2

Gen 4 (post Garchomp ban): Scizor, Infernape, Heatran, Rotom-H, Salamence, Swampert/Vaporeon/Suicune

Gen 5 (rain): Politoed, Tentacruel, Rotom-W, Ferrothorn, Scizor, Keldeo

Gen 5 (sand): Tyranitar, Landorus, Keldeo, Scizor, Gastrodon, Celebi

Gen 6: Talonflame, Aegislash, Rotom-W, Greninja, Ferrothorn, Mega Lucario/Mega Kangaskhan

That's about right, though gen 3/4/5 teams were a bit more diverse.
Gen 6's metagame on the other hand has regressed to gen 1/2-like level of unoriginality.

It's the beginning of the meta. This is to be expected.

We have:
1. Broken shit forcing things out of OU/forcing things to be used to counter them
2. New shiny toys people want to play with

Once it sorts itself it'll be more diverse. Probably not as diverse as Gen V, since three viable weather-playstyles made a lot of things OU that wouldn't have seen use otherwise.
But it should be more fun, as it's not Weather Wars: The Format anymore.

No one abuses Lucario as much as Kangaskhan. I shit you not, I was online for the first time to try out my first EV/IV trained team and about 95% of people had that dumb ass pokemon on their team.

Until I get one of the counters for that bitch I'm just going to disconnect my game if I see them on your team.

Just wait until Kanga gets banned. Then everyone will flock to Lucario.

Not sure if they will on WiFi, though.

Lucario is too easy to obtain for people not to use it.
M-Lucario's ban is imminent, in my opinion.

How do you like that 4x Blizzard weakness?

Gengar is only useful as a sleep lead if you like to gamble with that horrid accuracy.
