    Recently smogon placed shaymin, honchkrow and crobat into a tier called Limbo, which bans them from being used in UU. Does anybody know what the point of this tier is when it achieves the same thing as the BL tier, which still exists?

    BL really means that they have been suspect and have ended up being BL. Limbo means they aren't in any set category. They can now either go BL or UU, depending on testing of course.

    Are you using this in a hail team? Or just on its own? A lead maybe?

    At any rate, you don't want to have the move hail; it wastes a turn for only temporary hail. If you need hail set up you should use abomasnow and his snow warning ability.

    Nope, abamasnow and snover only have that ability
    snow cloak: Froslass and Glaceon (increases evasivness)
    ice body: Glalie and Walrein (restores hp every turn hail is active)

    Wouldn't a Glalie do better with choice scarf, and another damage dealing move, after all, he isn't that fast even with a speed boosting nature
    or a defensive pokemon with ice body and hail active?

    I was considering passing a few Agility boosts to Cradily, but...would it make any worthwhile difference in the UU environment?

    EDIT: Is Stone Edge always a better alternative to Spark on Whiscash for Mantine/Gyarados/Pelipper?

    Cradily it's going to do much with agility boosts....After one, it's still really slow. It shouldn't be the target of your agility passer.

    Stone Edge is usually the better choice to cover most flying types, while Earthquake will hit bulky waters decent enough.

    His offenses and speed are very poor, so a choice scarf set is rather useless, especially when so many things outclass it.

    true, but would you agree that a choice scarf would be better than a focus sash, cause after the sash is used up, there is practically nothing he can do except get KO'd or use explosion, same as a scarf glalie
