Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I'm just gonna use Arceus.
(Edit) Ok, I'm pretty sure the ai is absolutely clueless to crits ignoring Atk drops, because even when Meowscarada was at -6 (I had 2 Intimidaters) he never, not once, went for Flower Trick. He got a crit on Acrobatics at one point, but I fortunately saw it coming...
Now what are they gonna do after this is done? Are we gonna get repeats of past 7 stars like they did with Charizard (though, to be fair, that was for Pokemon Day)? Then again, we are getting Legends Z-A next year so they might be more focused on that. Then again again, it's not like we...
Oh my Arceus, my Sylveon destroyed him. I didn't even have any Intimidaters. The only reason I chose not to reset was because I wanted to see how far Sylveon could get without Intimidate, but I had nothing to worry about at all. She never even got to half health (Though, to be fair, he...
Good, no D Dance spam. Also, while he does go for a turn 0 Dragon Ascent he doesn't immediately reset his debuffs, so make sure to make the most of those defense drops. Also with his flying STAB being Hurricane Mud Slap will work wonders.
Now the question is, besides Arceus of course, who...
I'm trying to think of what Pokemon could potentially counter Rayquaza, but I'm kind of drawing a blank. Steel types are resistant to both Dragon and Flying, but Rayquaza learns Earthquaka and fire moves. Ideally fairy may be the best option since they'll be immune to the boosted Dragon moves...
You know, Arceus could actually be good support for online. Granted, you're gonna have to kind of get lucky with Snarl since he can't learn Struggle Bug, but still.

Ok, I was able to do it without giving Arceus Snarl. That said, I would not, under any circumstances, recommend doing it without it unless you're feeling THAT daring. The only reason I won was because of the CPUs I had. At some point Haxorus went for Scary Face and got rid of the Speed boost...

2 scripted Shell Smashes, reset debuffs after the turn 0 one.
Oh boy, 2 scripted Shell Smashes? And you can't even capitalize on the lowered defenses of the 1st one? Anyways, I'm gonna make a few changes to the Serperior build I wrote before since...
Perhaps this may work, so long as he won't spam Curse and have Body Press. That is, unless he boosts his SpD.

Resists one STAB and immune to the other, which gets the Tera bonus. It does require the DLC though, and it may not work if he has a super effective move like Stone Edge or Iron Head.

Oh my gosh, the most unbelievable thing happened. At one point I was having my Hisuian Samurott go for consecutive Fury Cutters and decided to hold off on Terastallizing until the 3rd one so I would be resistant to Liquidation and hope to deal big enough damage from the 3rd one to heal back to...
Turn 0 Swords Dance and a scripted Dragon Dance, huh? Time for Malamar. Just gotta survive one attack and go for Topsy Turvy. and Feraligatr's +2 will become a -2.
(Edit) Yup, Malamar is excellent. Unless Feraligatr crits Malamar can survive a +2 Liquidation and Topsy Turvy those buffs away...
I imagine the event would probably be Giratina. Hey, we already had an event for Dialga and Palkia (albeit 5 star), so why not? Just hope they don't make the same mistake they made with you know who if they do it.
