A noobs point of view:
We really need a dragon counter. I think the main reason these pokes are banned is because they have no counter or wall that can take them. They can only be revenge killed. That's just what I have gathered...
I know when I face mence or chomp I usually end up having no choice but to sacrifice a mon or use unpredictability. x_x;

Uggh, I'm starting to wish I voted for Uber. (Much like Zet) The reason is, I used to think that Uber was actually a tier where only the ubers were usable. Not literally, but realistically. Now that I've heard that it's pretty much a "recycle bin", I actually believe he should stay there, because though he is counterable, he is also switchable, & what I mean by that is he doesn't have to stay in to be defeated (unless he's locked in with Outrage), I mean Choice sets don't usually stay in, do they? So, why not run a Specs set & just use Draco meteor, switch, & then use it again later. Ya, Blissey could wall this, but Salamence has teamates.

Though my morbid curiosity would dictate that I'd honestly like to see what sort of Metagame would exist without the Mixed Beast. My guess would be a rise in Infernape, Lucario, Flygon and Dragonite usage in it's place and not the complete Grass-stall everyone seems to believe. Of course, that's just me.

I know when I face mence or chomp I usually end up having no choice but to sacrifice a mon or use unpredictability. x_x; Can steel types really wall a Mence? I'm not sure they can, since most movesets on Salamence carry Fire & Ground moves. Then again, maybe they can because of their decent defenses, I wouldn't really know for sure... As for your last comment, you are correct, I don't remember why I said that, that was pretty pointless, especially since he's weak to Stealth Rock. & I don't believe Salamence has a reliable counter, at least until you find out what set he runs. But even then, you already have to have that pokemon on your team. & why do people post things like "OU"/"Uber" & then just leave the debate?... And one last thing, you said ban hammer. Lawl

Kyo the III Another thing is that its fast with intimidate .... stare At least post something worth mentioning stare .... But yes, it is fast enough, however Intimidate is really not much worth mentioning, because you usually will switch anyway.

An Ice-type Stealth Rock. It would cripple almost every Dragon in the OU Metagame. Their usage would probably drop significantly.

Examples: Salamence (Flying), Dragonite (Flying), Rayquaza (Flying), Altaria (Flying), Garchomp (Ground), Flygon (Ground).
Probably the only ones able to resist such a move would be Reshiram, Dialga, Palkia and Kingdra.

Intimidate is the least of our problems. I mean sure it will lower your Attack stat but Archolite is right.

Man, with another entry hazard like Stealth Rock that is Ice type, Flying types would get wrecked! Kyren, we would definitely need a defensive Delibird evolution, eh?
