Strategy Overview

It is indeed a very cool UU, and has some potential to be used in OU play. You'll have trouble getting it in, but once you do and get the Sunny Day, it's a menace to get rid of. I don't know why it got Grass-type since it's a Tengu, a bird-like evil spirit, but it's a good thing it did. It also has some use in Ubers, paired with Groudon for the Speed boost, so it can just abuse Shadow Ball to hit all the Psychic Ubers.
