So I'm trying to hit 2000 so I can vote to keep Sleep Clause in the best tier. This is probably my best team, and I'm at about 1850 right now (literally 1849 lol) and I'm staying in that 1845-1860 range. Anyway, I don't want to bore anyone with teambuilding so onto the team.
Palkia @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Spacial Rend
- Hydro Pump
- Thunder
- Fire Blast
Scarf Palkia is the fastest common scarfer in Ubers other then Darkrai and (lol)Deoxys-A/S. It's coverage is great and it usually saves me from dying to anything locked into Outrage (though obviously I can't switch in). STABs are obvious. Thunder is to 2HKO any Kyogre except max HP and SDef Kyogres, and those can die to anything else on my team. Fire Blast is for Ferrothorn/Forretress because Ferrothorn is annoying and Forretress is whatever, but nice to see stuff die. Also Fire Blast is for enemy Genesects that expect my Genesect to be my only Scarfer, then die (85% of the time)
Genesect @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Download
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SAtk
Hasty Nature
- U-turn
- Ice Beam
- Iron Head
- Explosion
Standard Genesect. U-Turn for momentum, Iron Head because Flinches are very nice to get, Explosion for when an EKiller is setting up, or just to finish the battle, or whenever I need to. Ice Beam is for anything locked into Outrage when I can't waste my Forretress yet (or it's dead) and of course, it's just useful in general.
Forretress (M) @ Red Card
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Volt Switch
- Gyro Ball
2 Steel/Bugs have bad synergy, but this team doesn't mind at all since the Fire Weakness is easily fixed by Kyogre/Palkia. Now the thing with Red Card is that because Darkrai is a HUGE TROLL in this suspect test, and this stops it, and EKiller, since a +4 Brick Break after Rocks does not kill Forretress
Kyogre @ Choice Specs
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SAtk / 8 Spd
Modest Nature
- Water Spout
- Surf
- Thunder
- Ice Beam
Whale of death. Specs Water Spout 2HKOs EVERYTHING. No. Literally everything. Problem is Kyogre's slow, and Scarf sets are useless with Gene in the meta, since U-Turn will take a lot of power off Water Spout. This Kyogre has 2 jobs, 1 is to kill any physical Arceus, calc any set you normally use (hell, even a Special Arceus at +1) against Surf. His 2nd, and most important is to setup Rain (duh)
Arceus @ Leftovers
Trait: Multitype
EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 168 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- ExtremeSpeed
- Shadow Claw
- Recover
ExtremeKiller Arceus. Speed EVs are to outspeed base 95s, max Attack Adamant is obvious, and HP cause why not. SD up on anything you want then have fun essentially. Obviously Leftovers is to 1. setup more and have more chances to, and 2. win stall wars while setting up, such as against Leech Seed Ferrothorn, and because it is always a better item on Arceus. I find Recover a very useful move for the same reason as I have Leftovers, and Shadow Claw is chosen alongside ESpeed because Brick Break and EQ leave me 100% walled by Giratina-O, who can die to a +4 Shadow Claw.
Kyurem-B @ Choice Band
Trait: Teravolt
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Fusion Bolt
- Outrage
- Sleep Talk
- Freeze Shock
Underrated threat. OU does not mean you cannot function well in Ubers. The EVs are obvious (though I might have to switch the 4 HP to Defense) Fusion Bolt and Outrage are obvious as well. Sleep Talk is because even before this suspect test I would use it to counter Darkrai/Smeargle. Do you know how much fun it is to stare at your DS waiting for them to setup Nasty Plot after you (what they think was stupid) switched into Kyurem to take a move, then GG you lose get out Darkrai everyone hates you. Freeze Shock is there because he has no other option, and it isn't completely useless, Kyurem has the bulk to pull it off, and the surprise value too. It hits Ferrothorn extremelly hard as well, physically defensive ones take around 80% though obviously it should be used carefully, especially on a CB set (which is Kyurem-B's only set)
Now onto the fun stuff, threat list.
Only notable major threats to this team so far are:
Dialga: Specially Defensive and Bulk Up are huge problems, since I don't have much to hit it that hard, considering I lack Fighting moves.
Ferrowhore: Is more annoying then anything
