This is true but it looses the bulky and added more speed to outspeed Darkrai and scare them away to an appropriate counter. I tested it 2-3 times and it did ok but it was able to accomplish its role to scare away leads and go to an appropriate pokemon.
It's not THAT "effective" it's useful/decent for scaring of Psychic type which you would normally outspeed not named Deoxys-S. I could try to post some logs
I can fully say this set works, Bunny beat me with it a few times.

Actually, I'm a little confused as to why one would use SDLuke over SDRay
are you serious!
forretress is great in ubers. that rayquza your talking about is stopped cold by forretress if its physical (Theres a mixquaza once in a blue moon, other than that its SD/DD). Steel is a great type in ubers, dragon/dark/ghost are dominant attacking types in ubers, and explosion is just great. unless you've actually tested it than don't say its bad. Also unlike rayquaza ho-oh requires no set up, can't be revenge killed as easily as rayquaza(scarfpalkia/scizor barely scratch ho-oh and both can revenge rayquaza), and gets roost. Also fire+ground is horrible neutral coverage?
edit: misa its almost the same set except that one uses thunder with a -Def nature to 2hko kyogre, this ho-oh can actually take a few physical attacks and has an easier time dealing with lati@s and rayquaza. Also kyogre is going to be faster most of the time and you have to hit slower variants on the switch making it pretty hard to actually use thunder effectively. most of the time the bulk is better than the ability to 2hko a slow kyogre. also if you don't like SR, pack a spinner, despite what thorns says forretress is pretty good, theres also a few other viable ones but forrtress is probably the best
I'm sorry, but I must be missing the point. Why would you post a set that isn't very effective? Ubers is a tier full of massively hard hitters and devastating sweepers (Rayquaza's offensive stats are a whopping 150/150/95). Being "not THAT effective" won't cut it in the metagame.
Forretress!
Thank you tcb. Forretress is pretty good in ubers, if you pair him with deo-s or d for spikes and stealth rock, he provides good spin and t-spikes support, and when he's done, explode on a threat.

-Dragon Rage
-Spore
Im not 100% sure, but i think this set is illegal. How can smeargle learn sketch 4 times at level 1? I thought it only learnt it every 10 levels.

Heart scales at the move relearner.
thorns you are a cool guy and all but you are absolutely wrong about forretress. forretress' steel typing is amazing for stoping random shit like spacial rend palkia and outrage quaza. toxic spikes and spikes are invaluable, weakening stuff like wobb, groudon, kyogre, palkia, ect. you get the idea.

Banned deucer.
Also with the amount of Rain in Ubers, assuming you have some sort of SpD EVs, Forretress can take some Fire hits that he usually can't, giving him an extra turn to possibly set up Toxic Spikes or Spikes. And like KD already mentioned, those make a difference.
This is unsurprising Lucario is meh without wobbufet support. Without the proper support any OU will likely struggle to be spectacular in ubers. When testing try and give your testee the best potential by giving it a specific and accentuating role in your squad and use the pokemon that can support it best so it will be spectacular. Without doing this you can't really just dismiss it.
Hmm. Lanturn didn't pave out the way I thought it would. That could be because I never use standerd sets/kyogre on my teams, but whatever... Perhaps Tropius could fill the role of sunny day sweeper with Groudon?
Solar Power.
and it misses out on dark stab which is part of the reason why shifty is even useful at all

Just so you guys know, this thread will be moderated rather heavily, so please try to avoid terrible posts (as if it needed to be said...). I know everyone is eager to try out their new stuff, but I would really really encourage people to test stuff out before posting in this thread - it is, after all, meant to be a place to discuss experiences, not theory.
That said, there is no way in hell that Tropius is viable in Ubers. Don't clog up this thread with pointless theory'd sets.
