Omastar niche?
Does Omastar still have a place in a Rock lineup? Does Rock Throw and Rock Slidroffer any more advantages over Smack Down and Stone Edge? It's still better than Rhydon DPS wise (if it gets a Rock fast move) and I have a legacy one sitting around.

One of the benefits of double rock Omastar is that it doubly resists fire, and it's not weak to ice like most rock is, because of the water typing. Purely from an attacking standpoint, it's clearly not as strong as SD/SE Ttar.
Kabutops enjoys the same advantages with RT/SE against ice, but doesn't have a good move for fire.
Bottom line, when Moltres comes to town for a three hour cruise, Kyogre will shred it, SD Ttar will shred it, Golem will shred it, even Raikou will shred it. If you don't have a good counter, you haven't been playing long (which is no crime, just something to work on).
