Clerics seem less common in D/P's less passive metagame. Most cleric-capable Pokes seem to prefer other moves instead now, but the need for clerics is greater than ever.
OU-viable clerics are hard to come by. The short list is Lapras, Articuno, Dragonite, Miltank, Blissey, Celebi, and Roserade. All but Miltank and Articuno are murdered by CB Pursuit, but they're uncommon. Blissey prefers Sing on the standard set. Celebi's uncommon due to rarity.
Is the passiveness of clerics a liability now?
