Why the fuck has Ho-Oh been an uber all this time? Fire/Flying x4 weakness to rock and the OU meta has been HEAVILY saturated with stealth rock since forever. And only 90 base speed! It's slow.

>m-m-muh base stats total
Slacking, Kyurem-B, almost every Mega.

Explain yourself.

Bulky as fuck + Sacred Fire + Regenerator

If it didn't get Regenerator in Gen 5, you'd have a point, but it has all the tools it needs to stay relevant

The real question is why Deoxys-D has been uber for so long.

Shit HP, shit typing (especially with dark becoming the best offensive typing), speed nowhere near good enough, completely outclassed by Skarmory, yet idiots insisted it must still be uber.
