@ Ranger Jack Walker: So you're saying the Event Raikou shouldn't be used because it can't adhere to a prescribed Smogon moveset due to its nature?
Anyway, this whole Aura Sphere thing has gone off on a tangent that diverted from from my point, which was that bans on things that require luck enforces the 'need' for tiers, and that without those bans a 'weak' Pokemon could go up against a 'strong' one with a more equal footing. I stand by what I said about people using DT on Pokemon which don't need things like it: that they're lames who take the game way too seriously if they resort to such cheap tactics just to win against someone.
@ ShadowBlaziken: You're right, Aura Sphere wouldn't affect Ghosts. Shadow Punch would work, I suppose... However, according to popular belief, it's 'too weak', with only 60 power, and only a few things learn it, which means that the move is no good.
Speaking of Ghosts, it seems to me like Jellicent would be a good counter to Terrakion, since it's got good typing and lot of HP. Really any ghost type that wasn't weak to rock (like Drifblim itself) would seem to me like a good choice.
