Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I really think Arcanine has improved overall this generation. Out of all the pokemon in UU, this is one that I have trouble with. It's a strong attacker that can heal itself with Morning Sun and it's no slouch coverage wise.
I don't think Victini "outclasses" it per-say.
It's a cute disrupter. Fake Out is the primary reason, in my opinion to use it. Other than that, I'd rather use the new Chinchilla pokemon for offensive output (even with technician) and Mew for baton passing needs.
It's a tad to early for me to give a definitive opinion, I will however give some impressions.
1. Sun based teams are out in full force. Victini is the king (damage output) wise. Many Grass types are in the spot light.
2. Kyurem is also very impressive in and out of hail.

The calculations are impression although Zangoose really doesn't have an opportunity to set up and attack.
Even something as frail as Espeon can set up; that's due to it's impressive trait, Zangoose doesn't have that.
I concur. I was going to use it simply because I found it absolutely adorable but it's amazing in battle. I like Encore + Charge beaming for a sweep. :3
I'm really enjoying the game thus far, however, I don't know if it's due to my playstyle but it feels like my pokemon are extremely "frail".
Sigilyph is a real bitch ;_;
I didn't think setting up spikes was "this" easy. Nattorei makes it nearly effortless. Fortress cannot spin efficiently or effectively because it loses 25% :3 So I just keep spiking.
I'm really looking forward to getting this game. A nice traditional DQ game is what I need after playing DQ9, a game that I was severely disappointed with. DQ9's main quest didn't have the focus and edge of previous games and I found the leveling system even more tedious than previous DQ's!!!
The only pokemon that truly outclasses Emonga is Zapdos and even then it has Encore and a higher base speed on it's side. Once UU is developed on smogon, I think Emonga could be a common staple.
Here are two sets that I've been using in PO's DW UU tier.

First and foremost as a suspect voter and smogon irc Aop you could at least try to be respectful. Your position is no excuse to be so disrespectful. Your post is very "one-sided" and you aren't showing the other perspective, it isn't a political contest, it's pokemon.
Saying " YOU have fun...
The United States public education system is not going adapt and improve itself, at least not in my life time. Parents are not going to become better parents and teach their children important life lessons. The N-word and works of literature will never be able to be properly discussed in the...
