This thing just seems to live in that infuriating little niche where it's so incredible that it's pretty much omnipresent but not so powerful that it doesn't really stand any chance of ever getting banned. To be fair though, it's not like it's the only thing making OU intolerable, far from it.

Ah, gen 4. Truly the best gen for competitive.

Although personally, I'm no naysayer of weather wars; that was fun.

One of the, like, very few flaws in Gen 4.
Attack animations and HP lowering (god forbid one-shotting a pokemon with super high HP and watching It slooooooowly drop) felt like a snail's pace
