  1. Ghost Arceus (Analysis)

    If you're looking for a check to Mewtwo then defensive Dark Arceus can do it much better with STAB Payback + Extremespeed. It lacks the Ghost typing but Aura Sphere actually does less damage 63.51% - 75.23% to 444HP / 363SpD Dark Arceus as mentioned in the analysis. Extremespeed is way too weak...
  2. Ubers CCAT: Stage 3 - Teammates

    1. SD Dragon Arceus This thing has impress me with its performance during my ladder runs and I want to spread the word xD. I'm pretty sure once it sets up the only two counters are Lugia and Skarmory or a faster support Arceus. I end a lot of games with this thing just flat out stomping the...
  3. Ubers CCAT: Stage 3 - Teammates

    The thing about ScarfRachi is that it's terribly weak, 100 Atk in Ubers ain't gonna cut it unless you're hitting something super effectively like an Ice Punch on Rayquaza. The most common priority user is SD Arceus, which Jirachi cannot do anything against. Arceus is immune to Trick and cannot...
  4. General Metagame Discussion Thread

    Yeah, Low Kick does a dismal 60BP against the pink blobs and having something with 180 base attack lose to Chansey is kinda pathetic.
  5. General Metagame Discussion Thread

    Grr... my college thesis long post got deleted so I'll just briefly summarize =( A lot of your questions can be answered as you play more of the tier and gain experience. As an avid Ubers player I'm greatly more annoyed by poison then paralysis. A good example is Extremekiller Arceus, it can...
  6. DAYUMN! - An Ubers Warstory

    I remember this match :p After the battle, I was hitting myself for not switching into Palkia during the last crucial turns. I guess I had a little brain fart there. Overall, it was a nice match and it was an honor being in this warstory!
  7. Ubers CCAT: Stage 3 - Teammates

    Hawkstar makes a great case about Ice Beam and I agree with everything he said, but according to usage stats Mewtwo is used more than Zekrom and Lugia (still 2HKOed by Shadow Ball) combined. The biggest prop is being able to hit Groudon with no drawbacks, but no sane Groudon is staying in on...
  8. General Metagame Discussion Thread

    It always seemed to me that Toxic was the most commonly thrown around status move in every tier even in OU. Things in Ubers are really freakin' bulky and having them poisoned puts them on a timer. Would you rather have a paralyzed Ho-Oh or a poisoned one? I'd prefer the latter since it'll...
  9. Breaking Through The Stall

    Draco Meteor is not really necessary but it's nice for that extra oomph like straight up KOing Darkrai with Rocks which is something Spacial Rend wish it did. I don't see it as a problem though since between Deoxys-A, Scizor, and Palkia, you have Darkrai covered. Palkia can then run Spacial Rend...
  10. Mew (Analysis)

    Mew's BP set is missing 20 EVs that can further be allocated in Defense or something.

    Sure, Kingdra doesn't have the oomph of 150 base SpA like Palkia and other Ubers do nor the movepool (Fire Blast, Thunder...), but it is just as viable if one can play to its strengths. It has the speed to easily bypass Terrakion, one of the fastest Scarfers in the tier, with a neutral nature...

    Some good checks to Extremekiller are Skarmory, Giratina (both), Groudon, and Terrakion. Skarmory is usually a straight counter unless Arceus carries the rare Overheat. Giratina can survive two Shadow Claws after burning it and Rest off the damage. Fighting Arceus can also stomach a +2...
  13. Flaming Glory: Balanced Ubers Sun Team (Peaked page 1)

    Hey, this is a good team, however; there are a couple things you can do to make it better. This seems a lot like the standard Sun team, but congrats on the #1 spot I guess. Darkrai looks problematic since it can outspeed everything, put something to sleep, and sweep with boosted attacks with a...
  14. np: OU Suspect Testing Round 5 - Sandstorm (Excadrill/Thundurus Banned)

    Yeah, it does, even through a Substitute.
  15. Ask an Uber Question, Get an Uber Answer (Read FAQs in First Post Before Asking)

    Forretress in any Ubers metagame generally wants to run special defense because its typing and resistances allow it to tank Ice Beam / Draco Meteor / Spacial Rend etc. There's also a wider array of special attacking threats in Ubers that justify doing so. Forretress still has enough physical...
