While only a few Pokemon get Cloud Nine (Golduck, Altaria, Lickilicky), it can frustrate weather teams by negating their effects. Here's a silly replay of mine where the opponent forfeited on the first turn when Drought didn't work quite as well as expected:

Seriously, if you're running a non-weather team, play with it a bit. I'll need to test it further before deciding whether Golduck and Lickilicky are good enough for OU, but since there hasn't been a discussion before, I think I'll post it here.
Also for some weird reason, Showdown hasn't accounted for Cloud Nine announcing itself like Mold Breaker does. If you find wild Psyducks in Pokemon X, the game tells you on the first turn if they have it.
EDIT: Actually it does, but it's a bit hard to see in the log.
