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 really hope Kyogre doesn't become useless this metagame with the advent of Latias. Kyogre is my favorite poke and I still want to be able to use one. I might think of putting Kyurem-W as my Latias counter since TTar really isn't very good for my team. Though maybe Kyogre has hope with the...
I have one last question. If I'm going to smashpass to my Mixed Dialga on an extreme killer Arceus and use brick break will it be an OHKO? I just made an uber team and Arceus is a good threat to my team. I have no room for (Insert Extreme Killer Arceus Counter Here) and I do know that I can...
I don't know if Arceus-Fighting can 2HKO Blissey/Chansey with a focus blast. Considering the fact that Kyogre's Water Spout and Reshiram's Blue Flare can barely 2HKO it. Though even though it could miss out on the 2HKO without rocks or other hazards, it is still very good on catching things like...
I was wondering if this Chansey would be good for walling Kyogre and taking weak physical attacks.
Chansey
Eviolite

-Toxic
-Heal Bell
You may not be able to kill them with x scissor, but it is a good idea to bluff the scarf on the Extreme Killer Arceus. You should run a choice band and use x scissor to catch Darkrai, Latios/Latias, or Mewtwo on the switch. I hope this helps.
I am a veteran of the Uber tier and I am trying out OU, since not everyone likes ubers and OU is the most popular metagame.
I've been looking to build a sandstorm team and I need a few guidelines.
Q: Should I use Tyranitar, Hippowdon, or both?
Q: Should my Landorus be scarfed or mixed...
Thanks for telling me the damage modest does against MewTwo. He is a big threat to my team and with Modest I can safely take him out. Timid isn't out of the question though since my team also focuses on entry hazards.
Also I am running surf because I have Jirachi on my team so I can restore...
Thanks for the advice. Though I don't want to run a timid nature. I still want to be able to 2HKO Blissey and Chansey. I am also thinking of runny hydro pump instead of surf to 2HKO Ferrothorn.

I've been pondering on using a good kyogre ev spread, but I am stuck between 252 HP/252 SpA/4 Spe and 4 HP/252 SpA/ 252 Spe. I am really leaning toward the first spread because it makes kyogre take hits more easily, but the second ev spread looks promising.
Q: Which spread should I use?
Since both Giratina-A and Giratina-O both have the same pokedex number (#487), you can't have both formes on the same team since it breaks the species clause in the smogon banlist.
