I don't think it will.
I think putting Garchomp in Uber was a mistake to begin with. Putting Salamence in there would be even worse.

Technician Scizor also amuses me, and will be going in my team.
80 Base from Bullet Punch. Being a priority move makes it nice too. :D!

I dont think putting garchomp in uber is a mistake... because seeing his stupid face in every other wifi battle I have sickens me.
 
Garchomp definitely needed uberness...who cares if he can survive in the uber tier, he was causing every single team in OU and under to think "Wait! I need a specific Garchomp counter" and that's not what you should be thinking of when constructing a team.

I definitely don't think Salamence is going to go that far though. Need I pinpoint the extreme base defense difference. Once again, get an unpredictable scarfer out that will outspeed Salamence and you've got a OHKO with ice beam before he can dance or go crazy on your team.

Scizor just got a lot more dangerous...

I wouldn't like any of my pokemon taking a STAB'd base 80 priority move from someone with an attack stat like that.
 
I already have a tech Scizor and I will be giving it bullet punch for this reason. Is it possible to enter the Union room with platinum?

U-Turn/Grass Knot/Thunderbolt?

Or a little twist over the current Life Orber.

Crap....I guess I'm finally going to post again in this section. XD

I'm actually happy for Bibarel, of all things. He now gets Curse, which thanks to his ability, is like Swords Dance + Iron Defence in one turn. @_@

Before this news came out, I figured I'd be changing a few of my movesets for the Platinum release. But after hearing all this there may not be a single one I plan to leave as is. Heck, even my Luvdisc will be getting an upgrade! :D
