Reserving Giratina-O, am almost done :]
bold what i did, and leave lines where i did(or maybe just c/p it whole)Landorus-Therian (M) @ Earth Plate
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- U-turn
Roles: Bulky Attacker, Hazard Setter
What does it do: Landorus-Therian is an extremely reliable Stealth Rock setter. Even an offensively inclined set such as this provides a good check to threats such as Zekrom,Blaziken,Ground Types,Ho-oh(though it is a shaky check) and also deal with annoying steels such as Heatran and Klefki. It also provides a good pivot with U-Turn into frail Pokemon such as Deoxys-Attack.
Good Teammates: Anything that can check Kyogre is a good teammate for Landorus hence, Palkia and Ferrothorn immediately come to mind as they check kyogre pretty well. Palkia is an especially good teammate as it provides more of an offensive presence and is probably the best Kyogre that is actually viable in ubers (looking at you Gastrodon). Klefki is another good teammate as Landorus struggles against special attacker and Klefki provides an answer to very common special attackers such as Yveltal and Xerneas and has good type synergy with Landorus and Palkia. However if you choose to run Ferrothorn with Landorus a good teammate would be Specially defensive Kyogre as it provides rain which lowers Ferrothorn's weakness to fire and it also provides an answer to Yveltal and Xerneas and it also has good type synergy with Ferrothorn and Landorus.
What Counters it: Support Arceus forms excluding Steel,Rock and Poison provide a good answer to Landorus as they can burn Landorus effectively crippling it and then Defog away his hazards.The Giratina formes are also a good answer as they can burn Landorus.Giratina-Origin is especially a pain as it can burn Lando and Defog away his hazards and is also immune to Lando's STAB. Lugia can easily Roost and Toxic stall Landorus wearing it down easily due to Lugia's massive bulk.Skarmory can do the same thing to as Landorus cannot hurt it at all. Last but not least powerful special attackers such as Kyogre easily break through Landorus's mediocre special bulk.
Ye, I'll finish today/tomorrowApplepieFTW, are you still interested in doing Giratina-O?
Edit: Just a note that I am canceling any reservations on previous pages since ti has been a good while since they were made.
The Rash nature pumps the power of Draco Meteor without investment while saving EVs for ExtremeSpeed and V-Create. Just take a look at 4 Atk / 252 SpA / +252 Spe vs. 252 Atk / +4 Spa / 252 Spe.For LO 4 Atks Rayquaza, Why would you run Rash (2nd slash) with 4 SpA and full Atk investment?
