Poison and Steel. Scizor still liable to wreck face. Poison Legendary still likely to be demoted to OU.
OU's a pretty good place to be for a legendary. Terrakion, Keldeo, Celebi, lot of decent ones there.

If you meant a cover legendary, then you'd have more of a point. However, Ho-Oh proves that even if you're a poorly-typed cover Legendary (And Ho-Oh has an awful typing), you can still kick too much ass for OU.

Yup. Doesnt have stupid looking legs.
Eight legs good, two legs bad.

Well its down to Z, X2/Y2, or RS for next Pokémon games so Hoenn will have their revenge.

"Time to get horn-y" for thread title for Shining Ruby and Whocares Sapphire.

Shining Ruby doesn't match though. What about "Rubbish Ruby" and "Superior Sapphire"?

I do mean a cover legend. They would have to make a very specifically crafted pokemon that could counteract most of the Psychic and ground type threats in the tier (part dark levitate etc.), lest it face annihilation by nearly 1/2 of its potential matchups. And then there's the whole matter of what kind of role GF want it to play.

Magma Rift Ruby and Deep Sea Sapphire homedawgs.

Ho-oh is the biggest threat on uber sun teams despite a 4x Stealth Rock weakness and a water weakness with Kyogre dominating the tier. Stats and movepool matter just as much as typing.

I disagree. Malamar using its... things as legs/supports gives its design a whole new level of awesomeness.
Mantle.

Does Ho-oh get the least attention of any cover legendary?

Either Ho-Oh or Palkia. It's a shame since I adore them both.

EDIT:

Ho-oh is one of the biggest threats in ubers despite a 4x Stealth Rock weakness and a water weakness with Kyogre dominating the tier. Stats and movepool matter just as much as typing.

Indeed, though the rock weakness isn't terribly significant considering the presence of rapid spin and a dearth of Rock type specialists aside from Tyranitar and Terrakion, who Ho-Oh can switch out of or counter with Earthquake/Brave Bird/whirlwind.

I blame Palkia's lewd shape.

So would Darkrai be the female variant?

I'm surprised at the dearth of Scrafty vs Pangoro fanart, considering they both are Fighting/Dark Pokemon based on delinquents.

West Side Story with Pokemon?
 
Scrafty, let's form an alliance and take down the evil ribbon-ridden infectious Pokemon!

Gira-chan, Gardevoir, Mawile, Azumarill and Xerneas will be waiting for you, friends. You can't beat the king of the fairies.

I actually played Riff in a local production, so I'd be entirely cool with this :)

I wanted to know if I made the right decision.

I caught a Magby and a Growlithe, but I decided to run with Magby as a main because he is cooler. That isn't the issue here though, would you rather main a Magby or a Growlithe and why?

I'll just Iron Head those creampuffs to death one by one. Maybe throw in a Poison Jab now and again for good measure >:p

Nothing can stop Sylveon, the Dragon-Scrafty-Pangoro Slayer!!!

(Add Pangoro and Scrafty on to that death pile)

No, wrong. Magby evolves into an ugly Magmar, and a somewhat less ugly Magmortar.

Growlithe is a cute dog and evolves into a majestic dog that can be your loyal companion. And I'm pretty sure Arcanine is better stats wise too, more balanced I think.

Flareon the best Fire type and the best dog.

Flareon is a cat and the worst fire type. So much wrong in this post, but it is to be expected from WhimsicottGAF.
