Omni Wrote:Dragons are some of the most under-estimated types in the metagame. When people see Flying/Dragon, they say "LOL gg Ice". Too bad that statement's useless if the Dragon-type hits first or can tank hits. There's so many Altaria movesets, but I found one that I particularly like. I might change it, still debating. It's extremely hard to set-up though.
Actually, Dragons are one of the best types in 4th Gen. OU is pretty much a Dragon/Steel metagame, since Steels are the only thing that resists Dragon type attacks. Salamence was the #2 used Pokemon in the Platinum metagame (behind Scizor) for a good reason. Dialga/Palkia/Giratina and Rayquaza are top threats in Ubers. UU lacks a good Dragon type, that's why Altaria catches most people off guard. A lot of people don't realize that its resistances are amazing in UU where Fire, Grass, Water, and Ground are the prominant attacking types. I've been using a defensive/support Altaria and it really helps cover the weaknesses in my team.
I also enjoy breeding and EV training. I got an action replay for Platinum and it sucked the fun out of the game, even though I was only creating legal Pokemon (no lolWondertomb or Wondereye). IMO, Action Replay is best used to obtain hard to get items, like certain TMs and PP Ups.
