I think Landorus will be interesting. And since Tyranitar isn't around, Cresselia becomes the best counter to any Landorus.

Cresselia gains an epic boost of offenses with access to moonblast. I mean remember my set zero? If we replace ice beam which it's purpouse was dragons, moonblast does that and gains coverage over dark types.

Man, I'm going to destroy some tieams with my Terrakion set in UU. This meta is still very interesting.

The thing about terrakion, non-sub sets get easily walled now by physically defensive whimsicott.

Well, I wouldn't say "wall it", since it can't switch in to a Stone Edge easily. But it is a decent to check to CC spam.

I wouldn't say completely. Not with my set a least. All you have to do is poison jab it and it's dead.

Who would've thought we'd ever run Poison Jab Terrakion before X and Y?

The main issue with Terrakion was not its wall-breaking prowess; it was its susceptibility to numerous popular priority moves, greatly limiting its sweeping potential. The rise of Azumarill, Lucario, Conkeldurr and Talonflame served to compound this weakness with the new generation, thus Terrakion's fall from grace. The popularity of Aegislash and defensive Venusaur also inhibited Terrakion's viability. I'm not sure what UU is going to do without any of the aforementioned Pokemon or Scizor/Gliscor, though. Slowbro and Amoonguss are probably going to be staples on pretty much every competitive UU team for the brief period of time before Terrakion and Landorus get banned.

Landorus ended up being quickbanned, so that only leaves Terrakion to worry about. It will be interesting to see how Jirachi fares, though.

All three drops make sense. Lando dies now to ZardY's sun-boosted fire blast, and generally runs special so it can't hit back with stone edge. It's also afraid of our favorite little water bunny. Terrakion dislikes Lucario and Scizor, both of who have Mega evolutions AND really powerful priority thanks to their abilities, and Mega Luke can outspeed and OHKO if it knows Terrakion isn't holding a scarf. It even dislikes Klefki, which can tank a hit and just priority t-wave it. Jirachi got slapped with two brand new weaknesses, one of which (ghost) is super common now. Not to mention its comfy paraflinch strategy is nerfed now that it can't paralyze electric types. (thus Rotom dub laughs at it)
