First uber team, go! :0

Kinda bored of OU and such, so why not test out Ubers, eh? This is the first time I have ever played with Ubers, so if my team is kinda crappy for a Uber team, I'm still a novice. Aaannnd on with the show... (Edits in bold).

dpmba483.png

Dialga @ Expert Belt
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 120 HP / 138 Atk / 252 SAtk
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Draco Meteor
- Thunder
- Brick Break
- Dragon Claw

So far I really like to lead with this, as it hits a myriad of types and Expert Belt gives it freedom to change around and no recoil from Life Orb. Dragon Claw is a good option to rely on when Draco Meteor has already -2 my Sp. Attack.

dpmba382.png

Kyogre @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 6 HP / 180 Atk / 72 Spd / 252 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Water Spout
- Waterfall
- Ice Beam
- Thunder

Beware: Giant Orca. Kyogre is so awesome at beating the crap out of everything. Waterfall with 180 Attack 2HKOs (Or 3HKOs, not sure) Blissey - Making it think twice of trying to wall me and such. Since I took so many EVs out of Speed for Attack, I gave it Choice Scarf instead. Other moves are self-explanatory.

dpmba487.png

Giratina @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 244 Def / 14 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Will-o-wisp
- Dragon Pulse

Standard "Great Wall". Which it totally is. ResTalk is its only form of healing, and it provides status absorbing so it isn't all that bad. Special attacking Giratina is much better than Physical ones because Physical ubers generally have lower Sp. Defenses anyway.

dpmbsa484.png

Palkia @ Lustrous Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 6 Atk / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Aqua Tail
- Surf
- Thunder
- Spacial Rend

Shiny Palkia is awesome. It is pretty similar to my Dialga, but usually sweeps in the later-half the game. Buddy buddy with Kyogre because Palkia just loves slaughtering in the rain. Spacial Rend is a bit unreliable because of accuracy, but I have yet to see it not OHKO something...

dpmba212.png

Scizor (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- X-Scissor
- Pursuit
- Quick Attack
- Brick Break

Whoever thought that this metal-bug could work in Ubers? Likes to revenge kill with X-Scissor and Pursuit. Brick Break messes around with other Steels and Blissey, as well as hitting Tyranitar. Quick Attack finishes weak things off quickly, namely Deoxys-A.

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 148 HP / 252 Def / 6 Spd / 104 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Stealth Rock
- Softboiled
- Sing

Standard Blissey with Stealth Rock instead of Seismic Toss since it sets-up so easily on fleeing Special Attackers. Sing can cripple many dangerous sweepers when it feels like hitting which is always helpful. Awesome how well it does in ubers.

Now rate. I notice I have a x3 Dragon weak, but who should I replace Dialga with (I'm keeping Giratina, and Palkia)? Who should I put into first slot? Too bad to see Dialga go, but it must be done I guess...

This is my first uber team, so lots of advice is welcome. ;]

I'll rate your pokes individually and then I'll give a team rating below

Dialga @ Expert Belt
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 120 HP / 138 Atk / 252 SAtk
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Draco Meteor
- Thunder
- Brick Break
- Dragon Claw

Ok

dpmba382.png

Kyogre @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 6 HP / 180 Atk / 72 Spd / 252 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Water Spout
- Waterfall
- Ice Beam
- Thunder

Ok

dpmba487.png

Giratina @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 244 Def / 14 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Will-o-wisp
- Dragon Pulse

I prefer having roar over sleep talk only because sleep talk is really only good for a 33.3% of using will o wisp, which is pretty low anyways. Roar gets rid of the ninjask and other stat boosting shenanigans like rest/talk kyogres. This is just up to you though, as stuff I mentioned are semi rare.

dpmbsa484.png

Palkia @ Lustrous Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 6 Atk / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Aqua Tail
- Surf
- Thunder
- Spacial Rend

Lonley? Use mild. Palkia gains more stat points from higher base stats, and in the end you only gain using mild.

Scizor (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- X-Scissor
- Pursuit
- Quick Attack
- Brick Break

I would replace x scissor with u turn. Brick break loses to a lot of stuff because of its lack of power, and instead reversal would work better for slow walls like blissey when you have low hp.

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 148 HP / 252 Def / 6 Spd / 104 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Stealth Rock
- Softboiled
- Sing

K, stealth rock is seriously hindering your blissey by a lot. You can instead use aromatherapy or you can use wish/protect and it'll help out your team better. Also, what's with the funky ev spread?




I honestly don't know what to say for you to do if rayquaza gets in a dragon dance. I think it's best for you to put in groudon over dialga for 4 reasons: you have a bulk up dialga counter, you have another stealth rocker, you have a good ttar counter, and you have a rayquaza counter.

Also, I see your team has great trouble recovering hp. This actually would be nonexistent if you go with the wish version of blissey above.

Lastly, you have a strange cm/rest/talk kyogre weak. Other than that, it's pretty good for a first team.

OK but you can opt to use Earth power+Mild+proper speed ev to kill pretty common mixed dialga lead.

Giratina @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 244 Def / 14 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Rest

- Dragon Pulse

OK RestTalker would bring your team status absorber but BU Dialga can come into you safely unless you carry roar.

Palkia @ Lustrous Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 6 Atk / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Aqua Tail
- Surf
- Thunder
- Spacial Rend

Use hasty to at least tie with most Palkia

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 6 HP/ 252 Def/ 252 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Stealth Rock
- Softboiled
- Sing

Standard Blissey with Stealth Rock instead of Seismic Toss since it sets-up so easily on fleeing Special Attackers. Sing can cripple many dangerous sweepers when it feels like hitting which is always helpful. Awesome how well it does in ubers.

I forget about uber blissey Nature but this EV will make your blissey sure pursuit bait. You don't want to lose your only special wall by pursuit. Right??

Your team is not 3X weak to Dragon but 2X weak to Dragon but DD Rayquaza will still kick the groin of your team because you have nothing agaisnt him. Maybe Lugia over Giratina can solve that or you can put Metagross on some of your team to counter Rayquaza, Deoxys-A. You can use Wish Blissey or Wish Latias. I think Wish Latias with Calm Mind would be good since this Latias can beat CM Kyogre unlike your Blissey do and still heal your team. Addint Groudon like Sovereign said is not harm your team at all too. Your team will gain reliable Metagross, TTar, Rayquaza, BU Dialga Counter+ Ruin Rain team. (Ruin Palkia though) Moreover, you can use Choice Scarf Palkia to outrun DD Rayquaza, tie with Deoxys-A, and not blocked by Latias since Palkia 2HKO Latias with Spacial Rend or OHKO Latias with Draco Meteor while Latias cannot kill you back by her lower speed.

Now rate. I notice I have a x3 Dragon weak, but who should I replace Dialga with (I'm keeping Giratina, and Palkia)? Who should I put into first slot? Too bad to see Dialga go, but it must be done I guess...

Your Blissey is really screwed up

Blissey needs a Calm Nature, and Max Sp.def EV's to take special attacks in Ubers.

You then will want at least 100 def to ensure you survive a pursuit from any physical attacker.
 
I have no idea why Palkia is Lonely, I must have forgotten to change the nature. o_O (Like how I forgot to give Giratina EVs...).

I guess I didn't realize about Blissey's EV spread differing in Ubers, my bad. :(

Make those edits soon, and I think I'm going to replace Dialga with Groudon, maybe? Though I dunno about having dual-weather on the same team...

Having Dual-Weather on the same team is usually better than mono weather team. Not only it can destroy too weather dependent pokemon like Kingdra and Manaphy but also it generally ruin other team's strategy. Having Groudon on your team not only bring reliable counter to those pokemon i mentioned and ruin Kyogre's rain because many of them are scarfed.
 
There are multiple ways to use evs on a blissey. Though I don't agree that the 6 hp/ 252 sp def/ 252 def spread is the best for every blissey, it is better than the one kira suggested. No offense or anything, but 100 def evs won't do much help against cbpursuiters like metagross or ttar.
 
Not really an Ubers expert but I think Rayquaza destorys your team after a DD or two. You might want to consider a Lugia or a steel type like Forretress. (Scizor can't do much to it)
