Yes, scarf U-Turn is amazing for hedging the switch. It's also very useful for taking down celebi and starmie. When I ran ScarfChomp, the best move Garchomp had for hedging (hitting anything in general) was Dragon Rush (don't want to outrage early game), Obviously Flygon's U-Turn is MUCH better.
Pretty much. It was more like, I had this team with garchomp and I swapped a lot of members once platinum came out. I tried mixing in skymin, physical ttar, heatran, but overall ended up coming back to the original members, minus metagross/garchomp and plus scizor/flygon. I've been surprised that in many ways, this team works even better than it did pre-platinum, and flygon might be better than Garchomp period. U-turn is just that good.

Flygon for Ubers! It overgeneralizes the Metagame because it forces you not to switch due to U-turn.

Those damn U-turns...
Nice battle. I'm assuming Flygon replaced the Garchomp on that team?
