Koren
Mono Ubers Balanced Water Core:
Arceus-Water @ Splash Plate
Ability: Multitype
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Refresh
- Judgment
Your defensive wall. You could run it as a specially defensive wall, but ubers water has other pokemon with higher SpD. Will-O-Wisp cripples non-fire type physical attackers. Recover is obviously to recover. Refresh removes status from you, allowing you to wall things that rely on status such as paralysis, burn, and poison. Judgement hits like a truck, even without investment and punishes those immune to WoW.
Other Options:
- Defog can be used as more support over Refresh, but nothing on water that you should use is weak to Stealth Rock
- Calm Mind can be used to set up and be able to wall everything and is an option over Refresh
Note that this leaves you weak to status, and Recover doesn't have unlimited PP.
Walled By:
- Primal Groudon: Primal Groudon sets Desolate Land so it is immune to water, and it is a fire type so you can't even burn it. It forces you to switch.
- Anything else immune to water with status healing
Kyogre-Primal @ Blue Orb
Ability: Primordial Sea
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Rest
- Thunder
- Ice Beam
- Scald
Your bulky special sweeper, and general OP Pokemon. Primal Kyogre is a beast. It has a ton of bulk, and this set takes advantage of that. EVs give you a ton of SpA and bulk. Rest is recovery to remove status, Thunder takes advantage of Primordial Sea to hit with 100% accuracy. Ice Beam is coverage, and Scald hits like a truck after STAB/Rain boost with the nifty 30% burn chance. Functions well as a Primal Groudon check.
Other Options:
- Calm Mind can be used to boost your stats if you want to go that route.
- Hydro Pump could be used over Scald for the extra power
- Sleep Talk could be used so you're not set up bait
Walled By:
Primal Groudon. If this is a PrimalDon counter, how is it walled by PrimalDon? It all depends on who switches in first, thus cancelling out the other's ability. So, both are good revenge killers for the other one. Also, it pretty much forces your PrimalOgre to switch, as in Desolate Land water moves do nothing and Primal Groudon is immune to Thunder.
Palkia @ Assault Vest
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
- Spacial Rend
- Fire Blast
- Hydro Pump
- Focus Blast
Ass Vest Palkia is actually really good. Walls a decent amount of stuff, and hits back hard with STABs (Spacial Rend/Hydro Pump) and coverage (Fire Blast/Focus Blast). Pretty self-explanatory. Wall stuff while killing it. I might not have the EVs that are generic, but that's what I use.
Slowbro-Mega @ Slowbronite
Ability: Shell Armor
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Def / 240 SpD
Calm Nature
- Rest
- Iron Defense
- Calm Mind
- Ice Beam
My personal favourite Mega Slowbro set: mixed wall MegaBro. Rest is recovery that heals status (always helpful). Iron Defense boosts your godly defense stat. Calm Mind boost you SpA and sorta average SpD. Ice Beam has no immunities. EVs maximize your average SpD with full HP almost full SpD, with slight investment into defense to get you to 400.
This is a very good balanced core for water in mono-ubers.
