Counter counts as an attacking move.

New UU List (October 2009)
- Thread starter X-Act
- Start date
Even when roserade was UU, I always used venomoth as my lead. Same base speed, but I actually liked the ability to 2hko most things in UU, with hp ground and bug buzz.
I haven't seen a lead krow with sash yet, usually they run scarf (or I get U-turned to Krow or someone switches Krow in on a psychic and is OHKO'd).
For Nidoking, I get trixy. If I think it has SP, I taunt then encore SP and use it to set up something.
You sure about this? Tinted Lens is quite a good ability.
That's because it's one of the better Gyarados and Heatran counters due to Trace and bulk. It's much less useful in UU.
I do believe that it's X-Act's formula, not Doug's.
P2 is a really useful pokemon in OU, but it serves a very specific purpose on a team, unlike most of the OUs. I don't think that it will get to OU very soon.
Hasn't Porygon 2 been OU before anyway? Like at the beginning of the DP era, a couple of years ago. Infact, Porygon 2 and Tangrowth have both been OU, UU and NU!
Charizard was doomed from the start. 50% from SR and not that great stats. Belly Drum sets (one of the deadliest, IMO) rendered useless by the previous statements. Him in NU will definitely benefit him, Stealth Rock isn't as omnipresent as Scizor in OU.
Yay for Drifblim in UU! He'll find a way to work, I know it, as will Mageneton. I like this new list, it adds more excitement to UU rather than same old OU no matter who goes up or down (unless Scizor goes Uber, then that's a biig change!). Gg list.

i really dont think he'll go uber, theres a lot of counters for him, even a magnezone with no hp fire can kill him easily.
he's just bad on teams that are not prepared. which is just random.
I'm quite surprised Porygon2 fell to UU, because he counters so many extremelyptent pokemon in OU.
It's even worse! It's NU!
I'm not surprised to be honest. I think most of us know that it could've ended up in any one of OU, UU or NU.
However, I'd just LOVE for Porygon2 to be OU, with Porygon-Z being UU. Just for the novetly really, but I do also think Porygon2 performs better in OU than Porygon-Z. In UU, however, I'd suspect that Porgyon-Z would be the better choice.
Magmortar falling to NU was also a slightly weird change, he has great attacking power and some decent speed, albeit a stealth rock weakness.
Judging by the fact that the Porygon2 usage has stayed pretty consistent for the past year, despite Porygon2 changing tiers all the time, I think people already know that. :)
