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.
To start I recommend using the Strategy Pokedex when making your sets as a baseline, it allows you to see what the best sets are (out of context of your team) so you can adapt them to fitting your squad.
First example, you do not want an even HP number in most cases, so Kyogres last 4 EVs...
I don't think your Arceus Ground is doing anything for you here. If the entire point of having it is to deal with Regieleki and DRAGAPULT(Unviable you do not see Dragapult in this tier) I think you have quite a few other options that would work better. Mainly Defensive Groudon as it allows you...
With Z-A coming out soon I wanted to share the only team I made that I was ever really happy with this generation. As the title says I peaked 1748 and rank 11 on the the ladder.
Team Preview:
My general idea with making this team was I wanted to use Skeledirge because it's one of my...
Been testing for this meta a lot since the ladder dropped. Wanted to share some sets I made (and mostly tested) so anyone that wants an idea what the meta kinda looks like or somewhere to start with making a team. Pokepaste
I've seen a million different sets for Koraidon or Miraidon, the games...

For Cloud Nine pokes there is literally 3 evolution lines, Golduck (Complete Trash), Altaria (Loses affect when megas so bad) and Lickilicky which is okay with support (I used it in Generation Showdown). So if that is your main strategy I would try Lickilicky.
When I read the thread title, I thought there would be more options like only fire types, only water types, etc. But this is still really cool I'm going to vote for Anything Goes Triples because it sounds really cool and all the other ones are kinda sound boring, No Megas, Underdog Doubles and...
I feel like to successfully team build for this competition you can go one of two ways, standard.standard which is trickroom or you can build your team to beat trickroom teams. I'm bringing Lickilicky back because its the Generation showdown all over again (kinda)
So I was 47th overall, 2nd in Canada and I am very happy with that result. As for the top used pokes I'm not surprised to see Xerneas at number 1 it is the best Uber in my opinion and that showed. I didn't think Ray would take number 2 but I guess it managed its way to beat out Groudon. I...
