Have I read and understood all of the rules of this tournament? Yes
Well at the time I didn't see that as I have already made a hypothetical volcanion team w/zerkrom whom resists both water spout and thunder.
You simply have to take kyogre into deeper consideration when teambuilding. A core of Zerkrom+Volcanion seems good on paper, although they are both weak to...
Allow me to suggest my BP smeargle, it can BP to anything and rek from there since they (more often that not) will miss
Smeargle @ Focus Sash

It is not worth it as with own tempo you are immune to the occasional confusion. Even when made Jolly & Technician it still is not worth confusion immunity
Air Balloon tini perhaps?
Air Balloon tini can use it's item to ease prediction once and confidently switch tini in to EQ arc/ho-oh or any other EQ holder. From there you have a chance to fire off a move for free. In general there are superior items(choice band, flame plate, choice scarf) but I...
Maybe Diancie would work better with an air balloon? With an air balloon you can switch in on a predicted EQ to diancie and come in without any issues whatsoever. You then have a turn to Toxic,Stealth Rocks, or whatever you want
hmmm, sounds a bit gimmicky and even at -50% offensive stats goth cant take 6 hits in a row n_n
should just be used for a bread and butter setup sweeper
Most Kyogre spam water spout. I said it CHECKS CHOICED kyogre, meaning by that it needs to be choiced into water spout/hydro pump.
In any case the only viable of the three will be volcanion, whom has multiple niches
I would like to mention that whimsicott can fill another niche as a memento user
With Memento a whimsicott with no more use can weaken opposing offensive pokemon. Since you cant switch out right after a memento you are essentially giving a free turn to any of your remaining pokemon. I have...
Hoopa looks very bad in the metagame. Maybe it is that i linger around 1400 a lot but a lot of Ekiller Arceus have shadow claw,mauling hoopa.
Diance is absolute crap in OU,forget uber. I know they are 2 seperate tiers but it just cant deal with Kyogre, Arceus Steel, groudon and a number of...
