looks like Smogon is done with the testing now. All that's left to do is to prepare for the voting! *can'twait*

Unfortunately, it's only for Smogon member's who've been partaking in the Suspect Test over the past month and moving up enough ranks to be considered "legitimate" for deciding the tier position of a Pokémon. So unless you're already an active member at Smogon.com, there's nothing you can do except await the results.

It looks like people are sending in their votes now. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Really the only things that worry me are if Latios passes, then EVERYONE will be using the Latis, removing their uniqueness; or if the introduction of the Latis actually reduces the variety you see in the metagame, since everyone will put up counters for them.

Smogon...

Speaking of smogon, I'm kinda new yet to all sorts of poke stuff...but I was looking at the ladder rankings there and they didn't have latias in with the other ubers...like her brother. Whats up with that??? If its because she doesn't have the attack stat that her bro does, couldn't you just give her some vitamins to give her a little boost? I think she should be an uber too : (

Well Smogon just went through testing Latias, and the majority voted Latias not to be uber. I simply think that she's not powerful enough for ubers, and she's balanced enough for OU play. I'm still unsure about the outcome of her brother, but I hope he makes it to the OU as well.

Vitamins (and the Effort Values that they modify) have their limits as well. Pumping Latias full of SP.ATK vites is simply not enough to make her stack up against others since she simply does not specialize in offensive power. Defense and support are her strong points, and in a largely offense-based metagame, she deserves to be placed with the OUs.

H'oh yes, Snorlax is definitely an OU. In fact, he's probably the most commonly used physical wall in the game.

Hehe, because I have been trying a Snorlax here with this moves.

Snorlax w/ leftovers
Mild nature
EVs 4HP/252 Def./107 attack.

Earthquake
Double edge
Crunch
Curse

I dunno, but this is only it's available moves. Earthquake from pickup, and curse and double-edge from breeding.

It doesn't seem too bad. I don't know about having Double Edge in there, though. Earthquake can do most of the same work. I'd say switch it out for Rest or something.

Physical walls seem to be good companions for Latis. I have a Skarmory that I've been using with my Latias for a while, and the complement each other perfectly. Snorlax would be good as a second choice though. I've been trying to decide on one. Sometime's Skarmory's electric and fire weaknesses are instant death for him, so Snorlax can help in that department, and also do the hard-hitting for Latias.

Yes. Yes it is. >:3 Jooiiiiiinnnnnn usssss. Become onnnnne of ussssss!

*erm* Zombie-mode aside, we're not really on a set topic as usual. Smogon is taking forever to tally their votes for Latios's uberness. (uberosity? Whatever the noun form is... XD)

Feel free to propose a topic if there's anything you'd like to talk about!

EV trained physical defense Snorlax is better. Can do much of the distractions there than Skarmory(low sp. def., one hit Overheat). Skarmory can be a spiker, but Snorlax is better. Double-edge for STAB, Giga can do the trick but I have to recharge the next turn which is a big disadvantage. Rest is risky, unless you have Chesto.

Hi can I join cause I adore Latias's cuteness.
Sure you can. Welcome!

if u People are talking about Latios/Latias being a Physical Sweeper. it will be at the Power of OU . ( Ofcourse With DD Boost ) . am i right?
Well, we were talking about partners for the Latis who would be good physical walls. The Latis aren't really good candidates for physical-anything. Their specialization mostly been on the special side. That isn't to say, however, that a properly EV'd and IV'd physical-sweeper Latios isn't possible. An Adamant Latios with, like you said, DD and also Dragon Claw can screw many people who try to throw a Blissey in your face.

OU=OverUsed.

In other news, hurray for Platinum, and all the lovely new Latis in the GTS that it implies.
Oh, I knew that. >.> <.<

Isn't there a new Latios and Latias sprite for Platinum?

I think so. I haven't traded mine to myself yet, though.

In other news, the guy in your avatar/sig looks like Clave from my fanfic. Or at least his weapon is similar. Odd.

I'm fairly certain there isn't. Only 4th-gen Pokémon got updated sprites. It's a bit of a shame because I was a little disappointed with Latias's 4th-gen sprite (especially how they messed up her eye color with the new sprites).

can i join, or is it to late?
It's never too late to join! Welcome to the club!
