<p><p><p><p><p><p>Overall, I don't see this whole "no counters" thing as anything. Sure, Machamp was impossible to have a true counter, but there was Slowbro and Spiritomb, and now the new Cofagrigus can deal with him too. I guess it's because they have obscure counters they get the boot? Idk. I know Machamp was never booted, but that's just an example. Same for Garchomp: Skill Link Cloyster worked pretty well as a counter, breaking through Yache and Icicle Spear scarily beating it... though it was 22.5 * 5 back in Gen IV (11.25 + 22.5*4 if you count Yache Berry). Reuniclus still has some counters like Spiritomb and such. I'm just wondering if it's just some fad. And remember Unaware Quaggy vs Blaziken? Yeah... fine HP Grass, but that loses out to Chandelure and more prominent threats, and + 2 HJK OHKOs Swampert and company.</p></p></p></p></p></p>
