I say either one is fine, I prefer night shade.
Night Shade would work well. I kinda find Air alash useful in certain situtations. But that's just me.

Air slash > Heracross on the switch. Otherwsie, I think night shade is really better, but that depend on if you're facing houndoom or defense deoxys...meaning it depends on the defenses of the foe.

I wouldnt say that, if anyone can pull it off in OU its you.

EDIT:Also on the Air Slash vs Night Shade matter, i agree with Anti-Pop

Houndoon isn't really a good explanation in my opinion. It may carry HP Ice. Edit: and it will OHKO it on the scond turn. Focus Sash says hi.

The MAJOR problem is...

If I get rid of Night Shade, I CANNOT GET IT BACK!!!

I must be absolutely sure on Air Slash without a doubt.

EDIT:Heh, thanks Azelf. I've pulled off crazier crap.

I was using houndoom because ithas low defences...it wasn't a REAL example.

Night shade = seismic toss

Air slash = Ice beam

Before you all go "leik, n00bz" I am comparing it to blissey. AS is like IB on blissey, and NS being like ST on bliss. Toss is prefered, same goes in this situation IMO.

That's the point I made out. It's official, Night Shade would be best.

i'd keep night shade. if you use noctowl specifically to counter fighting types, then i could see how air slash would come in handy. otherwise, night shade will probably aid you when you most need.

as of whirlwind VS roost ... that's up to you really.

Yes, I do say Whirlwind, since I can't re-learn it.

IT and bronzong can make a great shuffling combo with SR and whirlwind.

EXACTLY. That is the WHOLE reason I made such a big fuss on having Stealth Rock on my team.
