  1. Team Study - Week 6 (Hack)

    The focal point of this team appears to be shiftry, though with both ho-oh and arceus here a shiftry sweep is certainly not the only win condition. The core is a relatively standard sun core of groudon+ ho-oh+ Kyogre check (latias) +spinblocker(arceus). Though this is relatively standard, it is...
  2. Ubers X&Y Fantasy: The Typing Of Fairy Tales! (UPDATE: FAIRY TYPE'S CHART CONFIRMED!!)

    yes that is true I was just thinking that a lot of the potential fairies are more offensive, and that this would make them sort of like ferrothorn, able to function as pivots on balanced or offensive teams and not just walls for stall. yes, checking dragons would be great for stall, but I am...
  3. Ubers X&Y Fantasy: The Typing Of Fairy Tales! (UPDATE: FAIRY TYPE'S CHART CONFIRMED!!)

    wiglytuff for ubers lololol more seriously, I think some things with fairy typing would become decent to super good picks for ubers. For example, I could see accelgor being a decent offensive spiker with bug STAB, dragon immunity, and dat speed for checking darkrai and co. Jynx I...
  4. The Ubers Viability Ranking Thread (Now Taking Write-Ups)

    Yeah, I wouldn't mention poliwrath, either. Honestly, there are just so many better swift swimmers, like kingdra, kabutops, omastar, and heck even ludicolo. Base 85 attack is not going to be enough in ubers, either (kingdra has 85, too, and ludicolo has 90 but both have a 120 bp STAB instead of...
  5. The Ubers Role Comparison Project

    I’ll compare landorus-t to groudon as a tank, since I really think Landorus-T needs some more usage! Please note that I’m comparing support groudon to defensive landorus-t, not offensive variants. Landorus-T @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP/ 180 Def/ 76 Atk Nature...
  6. Ubers Stats - May 2013

    | 3 | Darkrai | 32.55645% | 63385 | 31.296% | 50074 | 31.896% | I think this thing is way broken without sleep clause, with sub it can plow though offensive teams while sleeping scarfers, and nasty plot is still great vs. stall. I've been using specially defensive kyogre to...
  7. Team Study - Week 6 (Hack)

    I like this team because most people I see that use froslass (like none but whatever) are trolls What do think was the main/inspiring idea/goal Probs had when building this team? Abusing spikes is obviously the objective here, with froslass/ dual ghost/ phazers on it. Specs ogre, mewtwo...
  8. Ubers CCAT 3 - Skies are Clear

    I think we should change arceus-ghost's EV spread. Right now it is our bulkiest member so it will have to take on various attacks (mostly draco meteors) more than the others. It can't do this with its current spread as well as it could. The new spread might look like this: Arceus-Ghost @...
  9. Ubers Stats - April 2013

    matchmaster said it already but most EK run adamant so jolly terrakion checks the vast majority of them anyway. Couple more thoughts: Surprised that so specially defensive isn't even listed under kyogre's spreads, sdef ogre is really good, it checks many threats most notably almost any calm...
  10. Official Smogon University Simulator Statistics — April 2013

    Wow this thread is really helpful since I don't have to jump between threads to see different stats. Thanks so much! And wow dusclops is trolling sitting right above RU
  11. Ubers Stats - April 2013

    yeah, latias is really good despite genesect's usage, I particularly like 3 attacks+ recover. I guess latios is used more because alongside palkia it's really HO's ONLY kyogre check, whereas non-HO teams have more checks. Deoxys-D is not just a defensive spiker, it's a defensive spiker that...
  12. Ubers CCAT 3 - Skies are Clear

    SD ray and CM ghostceus over dialga both look like good changes to make. A spinblocker is really helpful and though arceus steel seems like a good option to check scarfed dragons it gets killed by fire blast and blue flare and even rain boosted hydro pumps and since we have no weather control...
  13. Ubers CCAT 3 - Skies are Clear

    If we were to use ferrothorn, though, what would we remove? I mean maybe we could use spikes+ dual stabs + SR and replace deoxys but that doesn't seem like the best idea since ferrothorn can't get the hazards up as fast as deoxys can. Maybe there is some good way to include it but what team...
  14. Ubers CCAT 3 - Skies are Clear

    We could also use will-o-wisp for (scarf)chomp and offensive groudon, both of which are big threats seeing as latios (and ray if we pick it) are destroyed by dragon claw from either one. But yeah, arceus-steel seems like a pretty good choice.
  15. Desert Storm

    I think water arceus should definitely replace kyogre because it has so much more physical bulk and doesn't disrupt the sand. A variant with ice beam/ judgment/ recover/ twave could work pretty well. Physical scarf genesect seems like a better option than special, it that's just my opinion...
  16. The Ubers Viability Ranking Thread (Now Taking Write-Ups)

    Yeah, jump kick is definitely superior to nature power because of all the reasons that lousy918 said. In terms of countering darkrai, there are better pokemon than primeape (heracross and spdef ogre come to mind). Primeape's only niche over them is the ability to tie with rayquaza after a DD...
  17. Ubers CCAT 3 - Skies are Clear

    I'm not the biggest fan of rayquaza, but if we decide not to use a spinblocker (which is not a bad idea at all), I think it's the thing that will make this team click. I think SD or mixed DD variants are the best choices at this point because normal DD variants are so outrage reliant that they...
  18. Trick Room in Ubers

    Hey, it's great that this thread popped up right now because I have actually been experimenting with this strategy for a bit. I personally like using an offensive core of groudon+ ho-oh since both can demolish ferrothorn (as someone earlier pointed out is a huge threat) and ho-oh appreciates the...
  19. Ubers CCAT 3 - Skies are Clear

    Sub NP darkrai seems like the best choice to me for checking CM (ghost)arceus ... and why was snorlax considered? o_0
  20. The Lost Art of Ubers Multi-Weather

    I think ferrothorn does work on sun teams, but in sun forretress is generally a better choice. Forretress is really the only spinner (in my opinion) that can function at its full capacity in sun so the vast majority of sun teams are better off with forretress. Using ferrothorn forces you to use...
