I'm curious what the UU community thinks about the advantages (and possible disadvantages) of having a Grass/Water/Fire core in the UU metagame. Does having such a core only increase the synergy or does it affect more than that? Is it because of the lack of wall breakers that this type of core does so well in UU? (I'm mostly asking this because OU doesn't integrate this type/core nearly as much as it is seen in UU)
Personally I think such a core is perfect for Balance teams and is practically necessary for such a type of team. It seems that with Venasaur, Arcanine, and any one of the big assortment of UU bulky waters seems to make very good cores that make the opponent rely on prediction to overcome immediately. I think this is why "Spike-Stacking" is such a good strategy simply because G/W/F cores rely on being able to switch to a useful resistance within the core, and spikes helps wear them down much faster.
Why is this combo such an asset to UU teams? I just think it's amazing how such a core can be an overcentralized piece in most balance teams.
Discuss/Opinions?
Edit: What G/W/F pokemon have you personaly used, and why did you run them specifically? Just curious what possible G/W/F core pokemon are possible in making a successful core.
