Board 8 > Tauros, Snorlax, Tyranitar, Heatran, Landorous Therian, who was #1 usage in gen6

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have searched far and wide for this answer and can't find out who #1 usage in OU for gen 6 was.....

And apparently gen 7 so far is Arcanine, but that has to be wrong, and I'm sure changed with USUM.

Also if you know who was #1 for Uber in that generation that would be lovely too.

I know gen 1 Mewtwo, pretty sure Mew and Groudon for 2 and 3, I would guess Arceus normal for gen 4, gen 6 is called Primal Groudon's playground..... but I don't know gen 5 and can only imagine gen 7.

Arcanine? How is it Arcanine? What did I miss?

Arcanine? How is it Arcanine? What did I miss?

I'm trying to figure it out myself.

Apparently #2 and 3 (or also really high up) are both weak to fire and Arcanine is a hard counter to them. But even if that is true, Arcanine has sucked since gen 1. There are a million better fire types.

Arcanine is #1 in VGC format.

Landorus-Therion is/was #1 in Gen VI OU (and still is in Gen VII)

So here is a question....

If Landorous-Therian has now been #1 in usage stats every generation he's ever existed.... why isn't he Uber? The rule is supposed to be meta game defining, and you don't get much more meta game defining then that IMO?

And also do you know/does that have the Uber stats?

Darth?

Just because you are good doesn't mean you are broken. There can be many counters (which causes their usage to drop) while Landorous-T is the best at what he does.

I haven't played much Gen VII so I can't comment on how broken/unbroken he is though.
