Metagame summed up in three words: Rain Dance teams
Hey guys keep using Rain Dance teams, will be only easier for good players to win =)
Uh-oh, so it means Garchomp won't come to OU yet... :(
Havent used Manaphy before but I guess if it went down to OU Rain Dance teams will be used alot in OU.
Metagame summed up in three words: Rain Dance teams
I think that Manaphy really won't affect the metagame too much, theres a lot that it can't answer to. Manaphy hype will be big at first knowing Smogon, but it should die down when people begin to realize that Manaphy is slightly overrated.
I say slightly overrated because most people thought it was originally Uber because of Tail Glow, Rest, and Hydration, which would cause an overcentralizing of Rain Dance. In Ubers, Manaphy does well because of Kyogre's Drizzle. However, with Aerodactyl and other fast Taunt anti-leads around, it is much harder to set up Rain Dance (only Electrode and Crobat that wins speed tie) will get a good chance to use Rain Dance. Also, even with Hydration Rest, Manaphy still is going to be walled by something in OU, as Aero (iirc) said.
Manaphy also has the shallowest move pool of the 100 legendaries (i.e. Celebi and Jirachi). Celebi has a much better support movepool and has access to the more reliable recover. Jirachi has a wide plethora of offensive options and is known to be a great Wish supporter for the team. Really, all Manaphy has over these two is Tail Glow, which is the same as a Nasty Plot. However, Manaphy's lack of offensive options leave the Tail Glow set struggling (Surf, Ice Beam, HP (type), Energy Ball, Grass Knot, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Signal Beam). The last three moves aren't even usually good options on Manaphy.
Overall, Manaphy's lack of easy Rain Dance support, shallow movepool, and outclassing by Jirachi and Celebi will definitely hinder it in the OU metagame.
Theorymon is bad for the soul.
