"Hot, Hot, HOT!!"

Alright, i realized that i never really played much in another tiers beyond OU, so for the time being I decided to take a shot at Ubers. This team is most likely pretty standard, and something out there most likely might be able to shot this team down, so Help me with this.

Earthquake

Alright, I choose Groudon because without him, ther will be no Sun, unless i use Lol Ninetales. It's a bulky Utility mon, and pretty useful. Puts Stealth Rock that severily cripples Reshiram and Ho-Oh and prevent them from switching too often. That's particulary cool with Choice Reshiram. Thunder Wave allows me to cripple potencial threats like Rayquaza or even Enemy Reshiram on the switch, Dragon Tail is great as a phazing move, as it forces the pokémon to switch, is not blocked by Taunt, damages a little, and because the Uber tier is full with Dragon is very useful. Earthquake for some attack power, even without Attack Ev's it can 2HKO Dialga and Darkrai.

Dragon Pulse

Here's the famous Reshiram, the Pokémon everyone have in every sun Team. First I tought a Choice Specs set, but i decided to go with this one. Usually i switch on Scizors or Forretress or even Ferrothorn, so i can get a free chance to Set-Up Flame Charge, that By the way, OHKO all of those above. After That, let's sweep. Blue Flare in the Sun can even 2HKO Chanseys and Blisseys, and it's powerful base power with no drawbacks is extremely useful. Draco Meteor for massive power, to score some harder OHKO, and Dragon Pulse, while weaker does not lower your SpA, hence it's useful in taking down minor or weakned threats.

Fusion Bolt

Unlike many other legendary duos, Reshiram and Zekrom are actually a kickass team together. In this team Zekrom acts as Revenge Killer, and my Overall Anti-Kyogre pokémon. Jolly Nature because i'm paranoid about other Scarf Kyogre or Zekrom. Dragon Claw is for picking up frail threats without risking being stuck, Outrage for pure power, Bolt Strike to OHKO every single Kyogre in the Game and Fusion Bolt for a weaker STAB, because with so many pokémon with Pressure, Bolt Strike's PP wear off quickly.

However after much testing I've been thinking and i might replace Zekrom with Palkia. Palkia can actually take a Water Spout and Kyogre can't do much against him. Higher speed and coverage are also arguments and If i happen to lose my weather war Palkia can fire super powered Hydro Pumps:

Here's is the famous Extreme Killer Arceus with a twist: Is actually a Ghost Extreme Killer Arceus. Except this one does fear the GhostBusters. I decided to go with Ghost Arceus, instead of Normal Arceus, because, not only it becomes a spin blocker, it helps a lot when facing Normal Arceus, as it's typing shuts down ExtremeSpeed. Shadow Claw is a STAB for taking down Mewtwo, Deoxys, Lugia and Giratina, Extremespeed + Swords Dance to raise hell, and EQ for Steels that resist. The Given EV's give him Max Attack and enough Speed to outpace all base 90 Ubers like Kyogre and Groudon. Im thinking about swapping EQ with Brick Break to better deal with Normal Arceus. Shadow Force instead of Shadow Claw is an option too. Hm...

My late game cleaner and a good revenge killer, Deoxys-A. Choosed him because of the sweet movepool and raw power. With the Given EV's (randomly made) gets 445 Atk, 452 spA and 399 speed. Beastly. Extremespeed picks everything for a ton of damage scoring a lot of deaths, SuperPower to get past Steels and Chanseys, Psycho Boost is a powerful STAB to destroy any Defensive Behemoths like Groudon, and Ice Beam to extreminate all the Dragons in the Yard. Life Orb gives him an insane power and grants some more OHKOs.

Roost

The last member, and the last one i picked. I needed a Steel Type able to take Draco Meteors, and Scizor seemed fitting. I went with the Specially Defensive Steel, making him hard to kill with special attacks, except for Fire. Roost to recover HP, Bullet Punch is priority to take down weaker mons, Swords Dance to boost his attack a little, SuperPower wrecks Ferrothorn and Blissey. Leftovers for recovery. This guy was chosen a bit randomly, so if you have better sugestions for this slot, name them.

And that's it. Hope you had fun reading all this. I'm unsure about the team because it's my first step in the Uber team, so...rate!

Below you have all that extra stuff needed.

Threat List

  • 150.png
    Zekrom Kills, Deoxys rape him if already weakened, +1 Reshiram can kill him too.
  • 249.png
    Zekrom and Deoxys are a complete nightmare for Lugia. Arceus too.
  • 250.png
    Takes 50% from SR and can be killed easily with Extremespeed from Deoxys. Zekrom works too.
  • 380.png
    Arceus set-up all over it, Zekrom can kill her, without HP Fire can't do much against Scizor. I'm playing on Wifi, so she can't have Soul Dew yet.
  • 381.png
    Same as Latias except it hits a little harder
  • 382.png
    Troublesome. If Zekrom dies i'm as good as dead, almost. Zekrom here, Deoxys and Arceus can kill Kyogre short on HP.
  • 383.png
    Can't take a Draco Meteor coming from Reshiram, Deoxys can kill him easily with Ice Beam.
  • 384.png
    Zekrom revenge kills, Deoxys Ice Beams, in the worst case scenario, Arceus to the rescue.
  • 386-attack.png
    A bit annoying. I need to rely on priority.
  • 483.png
    Killed by Arceus, Reshiram in the Sun does a Good job too, Deoxys can revenge kill with superpower.
  • 484.png
    Scarf Variants are a bit annoying. Outside them, Zekrom and Deoxys murder them. Scizor can also do something against no Fire Blast variants.
  • 487.png
    Fodder for Arceus.
  • 487-origin.png
    Scizor can take a Draco Meteor, but can't do much back, Zekrom checks it, Deoxys too.
  • 490.png
    Zekrom
  • 491.png
    Deoxys Revenge, same with Zekrom, sometimes I lose a pokemon because of this guy.
  • 492-sky.png
    Scarf is a bit annoying, outside of that, Arceus can Extremespeed Shaymin to death. Zekrom Pwns with Outrage.
  • 493.png
    There's too many variants. Extreme Killer can be a pain.
  • 643.png
    Revenge Killed by Zekrom, Arceus can pick him up, so as Deoxys. Gotta be careful.
  • 644.png
    Arceus set-up on paralyzed ones, Adamant Scarfed are killed by my own Zekrom, if weakened, killed by Deoxys.
  • 598.png
    Set-up fodder for Reshiram.
  • 205.png
    See Ferrothorn.
  • 196.png
    Can't do much, Dies hard for Arceus.
  • 609.png
    Arceus kills, Deoxys can kill, Reshiram can set-up a Flame Charge on it.
  • 445.png
    Play with prediction. Non scarfer are finished by Deoxys, Non Fire Blast dealt with Scizor, can't get past Groudon.
  • 113.png
    Deoxys, Scizor, Zekrom, 2HKO'd by Reshiram in the sun.
  • 242.png
    See Chansey.
  • 639.png
    Deoxys, rapes him, same for Zekrom, scarf is more annoying, gotta predict correctly.
  • 212.png
    See Ferrothorn and Forretress.
 
I have to say, this is a very nice sun team.
-U have a HUGE scarf Kyogre weakness on rain.
-I'm seeing a Scarf Dialga weakness, since it can take a superpower.

I can't really see other weaknesess, i'll rate this more later.
 
I have never seen a Scarf Dialga, so i don't know how i would last against them, but you are right about Kyogre. My only hope is my own Scarf Zekrom. If he dies, I'll have to sacrifice groudon to bring the sun and then try to chip t's health away wth extremespeed and stuff
 
I agree with changing Zekrom to Scarf Palkia as right now Kyogre rips straight through your team like a hot knife through butter as nothing can take a Water Spout. It also gives you something that can switch in on Reshiram's Blue Flare.

Your team is extremely vulnerable to entry hazards - everyone is hit by Spikes, which will hurt greatly when facing stall teams, and Reshiram, your main weapon against stall, is wrecked by a combination of SR + Spikes. I'd recommend changing Scizor to a specially defensive Forretress (max HP/SDef Sassy with 0 Speed IV, Leftovers as item, moveset of Spikes/Rapid Spin/Toxic/Gyro Ball). Spikes will help out your sweepers even more by wearing down walls much easier, and Forry is a good spinner, with Toxic to ensure Giratina-O and Ghost Arceus don't stay around forever to spinblock. The added hazards also help deal with Extremekiller Arceus more quickly, and Forry is capable of checking it with Toxic.

Your Deoxys-A EV spread is strange but it seems to work for you so cool I guess. It works well with the added Spikes support and more priority is always good.

I feel you should change your Arceus set to a CM one though, it meshes better with the team as Deoxys/Reshiram help take out Steels/Bliss, Recover also helps you keep it around longer and its a great stall breaker if you get it statused with something other than Toxic poison:

Arceus @ Spooky Plate
Timid
252 Hp / 4 SpA / 252 Speed
-Calm Mind
-Judgment
-Focus Blast
-Recover

Also, put Stone Edge over Thunder Wave on Groudon, right now your team is kinda Ho-Oh weak and that would help fix it up a bit.

Finally I would change Reshiram's nature to Modest as the extra power helps wear down Blissey/Kyogre for Arceus and the Speed is largely uneeded.

Good luck with your team.
 
Yeah, i will most likely replace Zekrom, sucks that Palkia can't OHKo Kyogre with Thunder tough.

The Forretress, first i didt considered it, but now, i might really change. Even with Scizor, He has no offensive presence and it never really killed anything.

About the Arceus, i fear that i might start lacking in physical power but. I mean, Forry is a utility mon, Both Palkia and Reshiram are special, Groudon lacks investement, only Deoxys-A remaining

Thunder Wave stays. Ho-oH was never really a problem and T-wave helped me a lot, i would lost a lot of battles hadn't I t-waved my opponent.

Reshiram Nature, i suppose it could work with Modest, as i set-up on slower things.

I'll test that Thanks :3
 
I second the changing of Zekrom to Palkia, that would make you less weak to Kyogre. And don't bother to run Hydro Pump in sun, it won't do shit. Use Timid Nature, 252 SpA/252 Spd/4 SpD and Outrage/Spacial Rend/Thunder/Fire Blast.

I suggest you to run some speed EVs on Groudon so it could outrun Ho-oh before it Substitutes on your face. An EV Spread of 236 HP/252 Def/16 Speed along with Stone Edge > Thunder Wave like Fireburn said should do it.

That's better
 
I am further backing up the change to Palkia, as it can switch in on Kyogre and beat it one-on-one without worrying about a speed tie. If you don't want Outrage on Palkia, change the 4atk evs to hp and run a timid nature. Use the set of Spacial Rend/Draco Meteor/ Thunder/ Fire Blast.
 
@lapras; No, Thunderbolt just won't cut it. Thunder does great damage to Kyogre (63.93%-75.66%) , a very big threat to the team.

@snorlax; Outrage is really good for late game cleaning. Draco Meteor really makes you a Pursuit bait, he will use Spacial Rend 90% of the time anyway.

I can see the point of Outrage. Also, Draco Meteor OHKOs Darkrai.
