Welcome to the XY Ubers Teambuilding thread. You may have seen this thread in many BW forums, but this is the XY Ubers edition, and although it isn't like BW Ubers, it is still a pretty cool metagame. You can use any of the released Pokemon in it, so this team should be full of awesome Pokemon and sets. Please read the paragraphs below if you are new to this project:
The Ubers tier gives you the ability to use the strongest Pokemon, the ones that are banned in standard play. Thus, many standard players might not have any idea of what to use in this tier, as they have minimal experience with Pokemon such as Arceus. This thread is designed to show new players the best Pokemon in the tier, and what sets they use. Each Pokemon will also be broken down into a role, such as Special Wall, Hazard Remover, Physical Wall, Late-game Cleaner, Tank, Hazard User, and Spinblocker. Players can then click the Show buttons to show the Pokemon in that category, and then choose an appropriate Pokemon for their team. Experienced Ubers players may post sets that they like to use and what's good in the metagame. If you're inexperienced, though, don't be afraid to post, but do make sure that your set makes sense! If you really don't have any experience at all, you may request for a Pokemon to have a set or ask questions about existing sets.
The second part of this project includes discussing the sets posted down below and in the OP. You are all encouraged to comment on each set that is posted, whether you disagree with something or agree and want a move or something added. Furthermore, if you disagree or have something to add to a set that is already in the OP, you can rewrite it or comment on it, and the community will discuss your changes! If you have a good set that you like, post it here and follow the outline. If your set is not good, it will not go in this post and you will not receive points for it. Don't be offended if your set doesn't goes in this section, as we'll explain why! This is a learning experience, so it is ok to try new things.
If you are going to post a set, here is the format:

If you are going to post a set, here is the format:
(*=not a required field)
Code:
<pokemon> @ <item>
Ability: <ability>
EVs: <the_pokemon's_ev_spread>
<pokemon's_nature> Nature
*IVs: <the_pokemon's_ivs_that_are_different_from_31>
- <move_1>
- <move_2>
- <move_3>
- <move_4>
[B]Role:[/B] Special Wall, Physical Wall, Hazard Remover, Hazard User, Wallbreaker, Physical Sweeper, Special Sweeper, Mixed Attacker, Revenge Killers, Late-game Cleaner, Bulky Attacker, Tank, Support, Spinblocker, Wallbreaker, Lure, Stallbreaker
[B]What it does:[/B] mention what it counters and why it is good at its role OR say why it's bad if you're purposely posting something not to use
[B]Good Teammates:[/B] stuff it works well with
[B]What counters it:[/B] stuff that beat the set
*[B]Additional Info:[/B] optional, anything you want to add onEV spreads should be listed in this order and use these abbreviations:
HP / Atk / Def / SpA / SpD / Spe
If a stat has 0 EVs in it, then you do not need to show that stat in your spread
the same applies to IVs only IVs should only be shown if they are less than 31

The Archive is now ->here<- since Xeneforo has a character limit :P
This exercise is for learning, so don't be afraid to post your own sets.
