Salamence is Uber?

I have to say, I'm honestly surprised by this one. I really didn't expect Smogon to abandon one of their favorite Pokemon.

Salamence, for those of you who are unaware, has been deemed UBER by Smogon, making it the second non-legendary Pokemon to become an Uber, the first, of course, being Garchomp.

I wonder how Sally's gonna measure up to its big brothers, Rayquaza and Garchomp? Supposedly, he's got a couple nice advantages over them (I can only assume that Intimidate is one of those), but it still seems a little odd to push Sally out of OU. I suppose Dragonite's big dragon on campus again?

Feel free to discuss this decision!

aww cmon!!! right when i get an almost perfect one for OU!?!? damn it all!!! oh well guess ill try another dragonite or somethng...

I actually expected salamence to be banned just by looking at the thread on smogon. It makes me wonder what is going to be tested next.

I didn't see this coming, but I don't follow the Smogon forums. Oh well. I've been using Dragonite lately anyway.

Lawlsauce.

Is what I have to say about that.

It's this kind of logic I don't get. "No one can figure something out to beat it? BANISH IT!"
