A Late Night my summer vaction has started what to do?

While my little brother and little cousin are sleeping and my older bro is getting laid, I need something to pass time so an Uber RMT Thread works well. This team is for Shoddybattle for your information.





PalkiaShiny.png

Palkia @ Choice Specs
Pressure
252 SpA / 252 Spe / 6 Atk
Hasty
~ Aqua Tail
~ Thunder
~ Draco Meteor
~ Surf

A common lead in the Uber Metagame and works great against Kyogre which I assume will just switch out so I would choose Draco Meteor on the incomming Electric resistance Pokemon. Surf hurts even more now with two 1.5 boosts.





Blissey.png

Blissey @ Leftovers
Natural Cure
252 SpD / 176 Def / 84 HP
Calm
~ Toxic
~ Icy Wind
~ Seismic Toss
~ Softboiled

The queen of taking special hits is back for another round in the Uber Metagame. Toxic will make the Eon Twins cry and suffer and Seismic Toss is just a nice way to do some damage. Icy Wind is very helpful and can make any Choice Scarf user switch in about worthless.





ScizorShiny.png

Scizor @ Life Orb
Technician
176 HP / 176 SpD / 100 Atk / 56 Spe
Adamant
~ Pursuit
~ Light Screen
~ Roost
~ U-Turn

Dragon resist sorta Scizor is great at trapping the Eon Twins and hurting Mewtwo with this EV Spread Scizor will be taking Dark and Dragon moves like nothing and can even surive a Choice Specs Flamethrower from Mewtwo under the rainfall.





Lugia.png

Lugia @ Leftovers
Pressure
252 HP / 204 Spe / 52 Def
~ Whirlwind
~ Toxic
~ Reflect
~ Roost

Thanks Great Sage. Also having a hard time deciding between Ice Beam and Toxic.




Kyogre.png

Kyogre @ Leftovers
Drizzle
252 HP / 252 SpA / 6 Spe
Modest
~ Calm Mind
~ Thunder
~ Substitute
~ Surf

I love this thing Blissey and Giratina come in to take a hit expecting a Choice Scarf Kyogre and than they see a Substitute on the field which Blissey will not be breaking. After a few Calm Minds Surf should be able to hanlde Rayquaza and Thunder is here for other Kyogre and the occasional Lugia.





Weavile.png

Weavile @ Life Orb
Pressure
252 Atk / 252 Spe / 6 HP
Jolly
~ Ice Punch
~ Ice Shard
~ Brick Break
~ Swords Dance

Scizor is slow and will survive the Rayquaza Outrage, so with that being said I U-Turn out and bring in Weavile and Ice Shard Rayquaza for the OHKO. Weavile is great because its moves hit about everything in the Uber Metagame for super effective damage.





Threat List
----------------

Mewtwo: Giratina handles the Physical versions and Kyogre can come in on the ones with only Ice Beam, Blissey can come in on the Special versions, and Scizor can come in on the Choice Item variants.



Mew: Nothing counters it, Giratina can absorb sleep and Scizor can come in and Pursuit it to hell as it attempts to Batton Pass.



Wobbuffet: Has no counter because you can't switch out.



Lugia: Blissey can Toxic it and take the Special attacking versions, Palkia can send it to hell with a Choice Specs Thunder.



Ho-oh: Kyogre switchs in and ruins Ho-oh and so does Giratina.



Lati Twins: Blissey poisons them and Scizor comes in and rapes them.



Kyogre: Leading off Palkia has it and Blissey will ruin it with Icy Wind for a safe switch.



Groudon: Giratina walls it and can break the Substitute with Dragon Pulse.



Rayquaza: Hard to counter my best bet is to let Scizor take an Outrage and U-Turn out to Weavile.




Deoxys-A: Scizor has it done with Pursuit and Weavile KOs it with Ice Shard.



Deoxys-D: Scizor can U-Turn it for some damage and Weavile can Swords Dance on the non Taunt versions, Blissey nails it with Toxic.



Palkia: I really have to be careful this team can't really handle this monster.



Dialga: Scizor Light Screen, U-Turn, bring in Weavile for a Swords Dance Brick Break.



Giratina-A: Weavile can Night Slash it although I need to watch out for burn, Giratina on this team walls it, Palkia can 2HKO it with Draco Meteor.



Giratina-O: I have no clue yet.



Manaphy: Palkia's Thunder will hit it hard and Blissey can stall against it.



Darkrai: Giratina absorbs the sleep, and than Weavile comes in and sets up a Swords Dance, Scizor can U-Turn it to death.





Non Uber Pokemon
-------------------



Metagross: Giratina has it covered and Palkia's Surf will hit it hard.



Blissey: Kyogre can set up on it with Substitute and Calm Mind and Weavile can Brick Break her and Palkia can Focus Punch her.



Heatran: Kyogre shuts it down and Giratina can come in on it.



Weavile: Scizor can use it as a Light Screen set up or it can take a U-Turn.



Tyranitar: Kyorge ruins its weather and Palkia can damage it highly with Surf, Weavile can Brick Break it.



Skarmory: Kyogre and Palkia will tear him apart period.



Magnezone: Blissey can Seismic Toss it, Giratina can take Explosion, Palkia can KO it with Surf.



Ninjask: Weavile owns him with Ice Shard.



Heracross: Giratina walls it.



Shedinja: Scizor can Pursuit and Blissey can Toxic it.



Chlorophyll Pokemon: Scizor handles them with U-Turn and Pursuit deals with Jumpluff, Giratina walls them and Kyorge can shut off the sun.



Swift Swim Pokemon: Blissey walls Ludicolo and Kingdra and Giratina has Floatzel covered.



Jirachi: Blissey can stall it and Jirachi will not enjoy Palkia's Surf.



Bronzong: Blissey walls it, Giratina absorbs the sleep, and Kyogre can set up on it.









I can not wait for you Origin Form Giratina.

Aqua Tail is better than Focus Punch on Palkia; while Focus Punch requires that you predict correctly and that you switch out once you hit Blissey once, Aqua Tail can 2HKO Blissey in rain without any of Focus Punch's drawbacks. If you must use Swords Dance Weavile, it's important to use Ice Punch if you want to get anywhere. Ice Punch is Weavile's most powerful tool in Ubers because it's super effective against the most Ubers; if you still want to use Ice Shard, use it over Night Slash, because Ice Punch and Night Slash get largely redundant coverage.

You have serious problems with Bulk Up/Rest Dialga, which can just sit down in front of Blissey, Giratina, or Scizor and Bulk Up, Resting when necessary. After a few Bulk Ups, even Weavile's Brick Break will do negligible damage, and it proceeds to sweep. Lugia with Whirlwind over Giratina helps, and it arguably handles Metagross and Groudon better than Giratina. Additionally, Lugia can take on Rayquaza to some extent. It loses the Electric resistance, but that will rarely be useful on Giratina anyways, since Electric is often paired with Ice.

Also, a note: Scizor can't Pursuit a Baton Passing opponent. Pursuit only hits for double damage on actual switches and U-turning opponents. Don't ask me why that happens.
 
As Great Sage suggested, I recommend Ice Punch over Night Slash since they cover the same pokemons anyway, except you wouldn't be walled very hard by a common physical tank, Groudon. In the end, Ice Punch is only 15 base attack weaker against things both Punch and Slash hits for SE, but Ice Punch covers more pokemons you'd be looking to take down.

The only real thing Night Slash has over Ice Punch is that it hits Kyogre, Wobbuffet and Manaphy harder, which the 2 latter is rarely ever seen and already covered by Scizor / Palkia and Kyogre respectively.

Along with Bulk Up Dialga (as stated by Great Sage), Mix Dialga is another thing that can pick off your team one at a time. Lugia is a great counter to both of these pokemons, being able to take its attacks and roost off the damage or simply whirlwind away the Bulk Up version. It definitely fits in better in your team than Giratina would.

Otherwise your team is quite solid and should do well if you use it well!
