Ubers UU Role Compendium
Only Pokemon currently ranked on the Viability Rankings will be listed here (with a few exceptions for when the VR is majorly lagging behind). Pokemon are not currently ordered within roles.
Base Arceus :Arceus: implies every ranked form of Arceus can viably fill the role, otherwise, the corresponding plate will follow Arceus's sprite. Likewise, the Urshifu sprite without a special indicator implies that both forms can viably fill the roll, otherwise an indicator will follow Urshifu's sprite.

A "|" indicates that anything to the right of it is either niche at performing that specific role, or is holistically a niche option in the meta (C+ rank or below on the VR). This guide is meant to serve as a list of what moves/roles a given Pokemon can fulfill within a team, but good teambuilding will often require a fuller metagame comprehension.

Scarf: :urshifu: :Chi-yu: | :gothitelle:* :roaring-moon: :latios: :sneasler::Spectrier::reshiram::gholdengo::kyurem-white: :cyclizar:** :landorus::palkia:
*Scarf Gothitelle is used exclusively on stall teams as a way of trapping and crippling stallbreakers with Trick.
**Scarf Cyclizar is used on a certain type of shed tail HO, but is used almost purely for its ability to pass Shed Tails uncontested, and not as an actual form of speed control

Naturally Fast: :deoxys:* | :regieleki: :ogerpon:**
*Deoxys is not naturally fast enough to outspeed most scarfers, but can still use Extreme Speed to pick off weakened Pokemon
**Through the use of Tera, Ogerpon can gain a +1 speed boost allowing it to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame, as well as some of the boosted metagame if they aren't running a +speed nature.

Could there be a label for each arceus form? I can't for the life of me understand what arceus form is in the sand abuser category

(I assume it's rock but its sprite isn't doing any favors to its readability)
 
Kommo-o for mixed, sometimes it runs drain punch but i get that its not very relevant. Weird oversight considering its in special though.

The compendium has been updated to reflect the VR that went up at the time of writing this post! Alongside purely shifting around mons according to changes on the VR, I also made quite a few organizational changes for clarity's sake. I'm quite tired so it's plausible that there may have been something I missed, so just let me know if you see something that needs to be fixed.
