Articuno has a base 85 speed... so it won't outspeed EVERYTHING... but it can survive multiple hits and Roost off its damage.
-
Mamo's not really a counter... because it can go down to a Fire Blast or something. Like Weavile it is a revenge killer I suppose (unless you get in on a DD). And there are other ways to bring down a Salamence. Let's see... SR... sand... most likely Life Orb recoil... isn't that enough residual damage to bring it down to KO range from something like... Swampert? And you say that Gyara is "easily counterable". Have you fought a Gyarados before without having to use your vaunted Latias or something? It's not "easily" walled either (yes, I've had my Arcanine wall a Gyarados, but that was under certain circumstances). Gyara in my opinion can be as menacing as Salamence... even if their stats beg to differ, Gyarados really isn't an "inferior Salamence". People were not afraid of bulky Gyara for no reason you know. Most of those physical walls that you mention like Skarmory or Bronzong can be easily taunted while Gyarados can set up with impunity (watch out for Explosion though) and proceed to sweep your team. It really isn't that easy... although I will agree that Salamence is much more intimidating thanks to 135/100 stats as opposed to 125/81 and mence can wall break. But even so... being locked into Outrage can be disappointing when the opponent sends out something that can destroy you/wall you.
-
I thought about that... and it seems as if Salamence is superior in every way (can attack from both sides of the spectrum, more powerful, better movepool)... but... there are some stuff Gyarados can do what Salamence cannot do. You're forgetting Gyarados's typing... and not to mention water is a very good typing defensively and offensively. Water isn't resisted by steel, is neutral on MANY things, and with a few DDs (it's VERY easy to get some DDs in and Starmie's TBolt from the "standard" set doesn't even OHKO), Gyarados is still pretty potent (not to mention even Scizor cannot handle Gyarados). Electric moves are nowhere near as rampant as Ice moves (sure, electric moves are still there, but you'd be surprised how lacking it is compared to Ice). You're also forgetting one move: Taunt. Yes, that's right... Taunt screws over phazers like Skarmory and prevents people from using WoW/TWave on Gyara which would otherwise be detrimental on Salamence. People always hated me for using Taunt Gyarados with Waterfall/Stone Edge/Dragon Dance with the defensive EVs (just ask many people here). While I'm still iffy about banning Gyarados outright (as well as this whole easy mode concept), I've seen Gyarados force switches and always gets in at least 1 DD and in my experience, he is quite easy to abuse. I've used Gyarados with the usual Dragon Dance and 97% of the time it swept teams that were even well prepared for it. Jolteon comes in... only to die from a Jolly version'd EQ or even STAB Waterfall (most offensive DD Gyaras are Jolly to outpace Jolty after + 1). Zapdos dies to Stone Edge and defensive versions don't outspeed it so it cannot switch in directly lest it wants to be 2HKOd. Not to mention in the early stages of DPP Gyara was paired with Electivire... making it very easy to lure an electric move in and speed up the otherwise mediocre paced Electivire. I mean think about it. How many bulky waters out there pack HP Electric just to deal with Gyarados (which isn't enough to OHKO unlike Ice Beam which usually OHKOs Sally)? Most Salamence I've found were actually not too hard to deal with... which was very surprising. Well... it's probably because I've used Mamoswine (my answer to a + 6 Salamence) which OHKOs it with Ice Shard... unless you were using a defensive Salamence, which isn't as nearly as threatening, but still... there are ways to deal with Salamence... but Gyarados isn't as easy. If you ever let Salamence set up and rampage through your team, then that's your problem (although they're easy to abuse just as much as it is with Gyara). Once it starts Outraging, just send in Skarmory (or some other steel... I'm sure you have a Steel somewhere in your team) and phaze it out or incapacitate it somehow. Gyarados doesn't use Outrage usually (unless you were me using bizarre movesets) and Taunt versions deal with Skarmory anyhow. Yes, Gyarados is SR weak... guess what? So is Salamence. Overall... just think about it.

Oh right... that's what I thought. You know you can catch Articuno in Platinum as well, right? But soft resetting for the right natures/IVs is tough because Articuno in Plat is a rogue. I managed to get a 26/10/26/24/28/18 Calm Articuno from LG... and it has just the right stats in the right places... which I like. I also like to use Gengar in Battle Tower because it is quick and powerful and immune to many things.
-
Sucker Punch is a Dark move, not a Normal move, so it hits Ghosts anyways (not to mention super effectively). Endeavor never hits ghosts x_x Articuno with Mind Reader + Sheer Cold gets me through. Sometimes I just use the Subroost Toxic stalling one... and I remember back when I used to go Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno, I was stuck on this one Milotic that destroyed my Zapdos AND Moltres... and all I had was Articuno... but thanks to pressure stalling, I managed to beat the Milotic in the end. It was a long and intense battle. Yeah... you can see Articuno is my prized Pokemon for the Battle Tower.

Read that statement made by SCV above... I bolded the part which applies to BOTH the legendary beasts AND the Latis... the IVs being copied down wrong is why. They start out with predetermined IVs or whatnot and end up with 0 everywhere after being captured. The IVs were transferred incorrectly. And I had no idea Emerald's Latitwins IVs were fixed.
-
Why do you think all the Latis that you've seen had terrible IVs? Their IVs were okay from the start (or not... but it was predetermined)... until they get captured... then the IVs become 0 across the boards. Is that mere coincidence? Try catching one from Southern Island... and you'll see the clear difference. Let's say the Lati rogue had 31/14/15/24/15/8 IVs... then once captured it will become something like 31/7/0/0/0/0 IVs... ouch that's painful X_X
