Pokémon Black and White versions

SR is hugely present in every metagame in Gen 4 (probably even Little Cup, not so much Doubles). I agree that it needs to be nerfed.

I don't bother carrying spinners, I just play assuming that it's going to be on the field no matter what. My current lead in OU is a Lum Berry Metagross with SR / Meteor Mash / Bullet Punch / Earthquake EV'd for HP and Attack and just a little speed. Almost every game I play has SR on both sides of the field.

It probably helps that I have 4 Rock resistances on my team and no weaknesses

[color="#cc8899"]That's the thing, Bug types are a huge favorite of mine and almost all of them get crushed by it, it's really annoying. Grass is also pretty common in UU, and not being able to use Fire types easily for STAB kos is pretty frustrating. I use Shedinja, so I HAVE to have spinners, or else he can't do anything before dying.

Though, I must admit, there is nothing more glorious than passing a HP EV Driblim Substitute to a Shedinja with a Focus Sash - He can tank at least 2 extra hits, so delicious, and the sub prevents Toxic.

(My Shedinja runs Shadow Sneak, X Scissor, Swords Dance, and...I can't remember the last move atm. I've actually swept with him a few times after removing his threats, and my playstyle tends to revolve around sacrificing anything necessary to safely use him).[/COLOR]
