Two Things I Don't Like About the B/W Metagame

    1. I hoped Game Freak would tone down the level of Stealth Rock in the game. They did by removing its accessibility as a TM but that's hardly enough. The ability to check Pokemon of specific typings is ridiculous and I've felt this way since the start of the 4th generation.
    2. Doryuuzu, in the Sandstorm, with its decent typing and immunity to Thunder Wave and Poison can set up in your face and proceed to sweep your team by out-speed everything and their mums. Nothing can really reliably counter it.

      I've been swept by this monster a ridiculous amount of times and I just don't see why I should be forced to use one of the few "counters" for it just to avoid losing to it. This is like Garchomp for the 4th generation but on crack and should definitely hit the banwagon.

  • Dory pretty much dominates everything, unless it's a faster Dory. Otherwise it just wipes you out. :/

    And I agree, SR is still pretty broken and over used.
     

    Ho-Oh

    used Sacred Fire!

    You can probably try Gliscor or maybe skarmory or scarf Ditto for your Dory problem~
    That's what I meant when I said I didn't want to be forced to use the few so called counters. Even these aren't entirely reliable. Scarf Ditto is a decent option but if your opponent's Doryuuzu carries an unbroken Balloon, your Ditto is dead.
