    Who do you think is the most intimidating physical sweeper now in D/P (includes Pokes from other generations)

    I ask this because the physical/special side leaves a lot of hard-hitters in the dust, and a lot of unused sweepers at their highest point.

    Me? I say Garchomp (and I know a lot of you are going to say so as well) It has Sand Veil, meaning it's a risk to hit it with it's fragile counters. It also gets SD Outrage which can annoy the heck out of anyone.
     
    You're right: Garchomp...

    That Shark's simply too conventionally strong. Setting up a Swords Dance, getting a Evasion Boost with Sand Veil and Holding a Yache Berry to increase its surviveability... I surrender whenever I see a Garchomp like that...
     
    Also considering it has no true "counter" since Fire/Dragon/Ground hit everything in the game for neutral. The best I found was Deoxys-e while being bulky.
     
    Garchomp is perfect for the job

    btw Tyranitar + Garchomp + abilities= good combo

    at least thats what i think

    My Mamoswine beats Garchomps :K
    Ch-Choice Scarf, anyone?
     
    Mamoswine is my personal D/P favorite =3 Ice Shard hammers Garchomp with no Yache Berry.

    Only an idiot would keep garchomp in against mamoswine, so it isnt a valid argument. Plus it's almost impossible for Swine to switch in- After a single SD any of garchomp's attacks will OHKO Mamoswine.

    But yeah, Garchomp gets my vote too.
     
    Gyarados! god the thing is a beast once it gets a couple DD's in. Yeah I suppose Garchomp is, however I don't fear it much. So I'll go with Gyarados ;)
    Did I forget Lucario, that's another threatening sweeper, heck Dos I'll stick with.
     
    Garchomp...
    They annoy with SD then earthquake.
     
    Garchomp is so annoying, it's a bit too much for OU if you ask me. It owns most things, and also: It's ugly. Salamence is ugly aswell, Dragonite and Tyranitar are much, MUCH better done IMO.
     
    Gyarados. STAB 80 base power Waterfall, along with Earthquake and Ice Fang/Stone Edge makes him one of the most threatening forces in the game. He's one of the top three leading pokes used in battle too. Once he gets two or three DDs in, he's nearly unstoppable.
     
    Most intimidating physical sweeper would probably be a Choice Banded Deoxys-A

    D:
    Not exactly. He gets OHKOd by Ice Shard/Sucker Punch/Extremespeed, etc.
     
    Bulky Dos is what I fear. They're hard to kill and a pain to try walling.

    That's your daily opponent on official server Gofre.

    Quick Attack from Swellow too. STAB ftw.

    LO Dos >>>> BulkyDos.
     
    Are you kidding? ONE ICE BEAM FROM MILOTIC, the stupid Garchomp is GONE.

    :16:

    do you know even know how abundant yache-chomps are in the field of competitive battling?
    garchomps are also faster than milotics and besides, a good player will not leave in his or her garchomp with a full hp milotic :)
