What are the most overrated threats in Uber?
You're gonna have to give us a better definition of what you consider "overrated". I feel that both Cinderace and Calyrex-S are overrated by low ladder people, the former because they insist on using their favorite starter and the latter because they refuse to build around it. Choice Specs Kyogre is also a Pokemon I see people build teams around with minimum support and expect it to just kind of win by itself.I agree but I think it's not too difficult to stop him
Buzzwole is used as a Physical wall to deal with Pokemon like Zygarde, Groudon, Zekrom, Marshardow and so on. You need Roost to be able to come repeatedly on these threats. Ice Punch seems to be mandatory if you want to beat Zygarde and Groudon. For the other moveslots, you can either use a Bulk Up set, and so rather have Drain Punch as your Fighting STAB or a non-boosting set with Close Combat as it has a way higher damage output. Last move on a non-Bulk Up set could be a coverage option like Rock Slide to threaten Ho-Oh. On the Bulk Up set, Lunge seems also to be an option as it is suggested in the Smogon analysis (https://www.smogon.com/dex/ss/pokemon/buzzwole/uber/).What moves does buzzhole run

Buzzwole @ Choice Bandin a ubers vr thread i saw someone mention about choice band buzzwole.
what set does it run.
Due to Yveltals high presence in the tier and also revengekillers which are often used such as Marshadow with Shadow Sneak and many good specially defensive oriented walls Calyrex-S isnt deemed banworthy yet. There are also a lot of great Choice Scarf users in the tier such as Galarian Darmanitan, Kyogre (also a bit less rare than Specs), and other Pokemon equipped with a Choice Scarf in regular battles, Uber teambuilders dont have to go out their way to check this monstrosity of a horse. Although I think it is always worth to discuss this Pokemons presence and impact in the tier, as it can also be (in my personal opinion) a bit straining to teambuilding. But in overall although its a bit restricting, it can be dealt with well. But yeah, it is always worth keeping an eye on this Pokemon for now and in the future.why isn't calyrex-s banned yet?
To add onto what Katy said, I think the Calyrex-SR potential suspect/ban desire has declined a little since the Zacian ban, as it offered more flexibility to teams and it became easier to check it. This is why the older posts generally look more harsh on the subject than now.why isn't calyrex-s banned yet?
All 3 of the Pokemon you mentioned are being worked on. There is the Ubers C&C subforum where you can see analyses (not) being updated in real time. Your comment about other analyses being outdated is simply not true- the sets for a lot of Pokemon that are placeholders still stand as pretty usable even in the current metagame.I have been reading up on the Ubers Ladder trends in VR and Metagame discussion and saw a lot of new techs being mentioned like Zamazenta, Groudon, CM Kyogre etc. (New is a relative term, I last played Ubers around the time Shadow Tag was being Suspected).

As for your set compendium question, the person running that thread is currently on hiatus, but it might soon be picked up by another user. For now, no word of it being updated, sorry!
Stall can be run with Pokemon like Ho-Oh, Blissey, Lunala, Giratina (regular forme, not the levitating), and filler Pokemon, which can help the rest of the team such as Lugia, Groudon, Zygarde-C, Buzzwole, Toxapex, and Ferrothorn. Even tho alot of Pokemon seem scary, but stall is having still some use in Uber, as all the aforementioned Pokemon have enough bulk and sustainability to fit onto (semi)-stall teams.Is stall even viable in a meta with monsters like Calyrex-S, Xerneas and the weather trio running around?
Okay, speaking of Lugia, is it D-rank solely because of how prominent Calyrex-S, Yveltal, Lunala and Zekrom are? Or is it just not good this Gen?Stall can be run with Pokemon like Ho-Oh, Blissey, Lunala, Giratina (regular forme, not the levitating), and filler Pokemon, which can help the rest of the team such as Lugia, Groudon, Zygarde-C, Buzzwole, Toxapex, and Ferrothorn.

Hopefully that helped :)
Lugia isnt in a good spot right now since is to passive and needs to be to full health in order to check the multiple threats in the tier wich can be difficult do to the abundance of Knock Off spam. Lunala is by far a better option despite being weak to Knock Off since it can actually do damage outside of Toxic and it have a better speed and typing.Okay, speaking of Lugia, is it D-rank solely because of how prominent Calyrex-S, Yveltal, Lunala and Zekrom are?

That and Lunala exists to make its job but better.Okay, speaking of Lugia, is it D-rank solely because of how prominent Calyrex-S, Yveltal, Lunala and Zekrom are? Or is it just not good this Gen?
SparksBlade forced me against my will to help u, so here i am. stall is at a weird place right now compared to other gens. after the zac ban, i wanna say walling a lot of the big threats ubers has to offer isnt that big of a challenge. the real issue comes from hazards and making progress vs etern + spikers.Is stall even viable in a meta with monsters like Calyrex-S, Xerneas and the weather trio running around?
Slurpuff is probably the only dedicated Sticky Webs setter right now that not only deters opposing hazard setters but can also stop most set-up sweepers all in one fell swoop. It can use Yawn to stop any potential foe from setting up, Magic Coat to bounce back opposing Taunt and Stealth Rock and effectively allows for free pivoting with Misty Explosion. Overall a fantastic addition to most HO teams, but you can read more about it in our analysis about itWhy is Slurpuff so good (currently sitting at B rank on the VR)
