This is just a section of the log so mods don't move it. I need it to stay here so people will look at it.

Begin Turn #22
Blaziken used Endure!
Blaziken braced itself!
---------------------------------
Mineral Water used Surf!
(87% damage)
Blaziken Endured the hit!
It's super effective!
---------------------------------
The sandstorm rages.
Blaziken is buffeted by the sandstorm!
Blaziken fainted!
Mineral Water is buffeted by the sandstorm!
C Money sent out Sceptile (Lv.100 Sceptile)!
Mineral Water's Leftovers restored its HP a little!
End of turn #22
Twinkies's Mineral Water: 390 HP
C Money's Sceptile: 100% HP
Twinkies: See Sandstream ****s you up.

(The only thing I changed was my typo when spelling Sandstream.)

There you have it Sub/Endure+Reversal DOES NOT work, it is a sucky uption for many pokes, but it doesn't work so well. So don't use it cause Tar is extreamly OU.
:\

Well most good/avarage battlers know that subrevers/endurerevers don't work in the OU metagame. They get countered by our friend TTar, QAttackers, and even if they don't get an enough salac boost, they can be outrunned.

Then again some don't which is why people post Blaziken sets use Sub/Endurerevver Blaziken. I'd just like to show them that it sucks, and here is proof.

Proper English would tell you that it is outran.
:P

Actually, Flail/Reversal can work to some extent in OU, in conjunction with something that can change the weather as well as get some use out of it (exeggutor/ludicolo/kingdra/etc.), seeing as TTar is the only Flail/Reversal counter most people carry on their OU teams. Then again, it needs a WHOLE team to be built around it in order to work, which is quite lol, and it gets beat by Salamence/Gyarados Intimidate, and dies to everything that packs quick attack/mach punch/extremespeed/fake out.

So yeah, Reversal doesn't work in OU too well with Tyranitar and Salamence everywhere, or let's just say: doesn't work at all.

On top of the QA's and the Sandstream...most people are smart enough to see a Sub/Endrevver coming. Then its all a matter of screaming at it with something that...screams.

You know...your phazer.

Rev Scizor is useful in OU, but it gets swiftly met by Suicune

Tyranitar works much better at killing one with Sandstream.

Oh it does work in UU/BL. Reversal works quite well on my Typhlosion.

Let's just say it's not useful against players that know what they're doing.

That sentence didn't end yet, so I was still reffering to OU. Meh, I guess I wasn't clear enough though. =\
