I beg to differ. Deo-S is now nearly extinct and for a reason. Thanks to the massive popularity of Giratina-O and the introduction of Team Preview, Deoxys-S can no longer function as a reliable Spiker. The moment you see you a Deoxys-S on your opponents team, all you have to do is send your Giratina-O / Extreme Killer Arceus up the line and 2HKO it, forcing it to lay down only a single layer of hazards. If Deoxys-S tries to come in later, it will lose its sash due to hazards and be killed off due to its frailty.Deo-S is a good lead with a fast Taunt and ability to setup SR. Deo-D is not really that strong though. A and Normal are uber...
There are plenty of options open for you. First off, try to refrain from using Chansey or Giratina-O on a sand storm team. The passive damage from Sandstorm really catches up to them. Especially Giratina-O since it lacks recovery. So for a special wall I would recommend Blissey while for a physical wall you could go with Lugia or Giratina, which will also double up as a spin blocker. If you decide to go with Lugia, go for Arceus Ghost as your spin blocker, the Calm Mind set with 252 HP / 252 Spe is a very good bulky attacker. You would also like to toss in Ferrothorn since it provides you very useful resists and can set up Spikes for you while Hippowdon sets up Stealth Rock. Both Ferrothorn and Lugia synergise well with Hippowdon. Apart from those usual companions, you could run bulky Excadrill as an offensive spinner and also as an revenge killer ! Really its all up to you on what you want in the final slots. It could be a bulky attacker, a spinner or a Scarfer like Palkia or Dialga.What are good teammates for Hippowdon on SandStall team for Ubers?
you can also try running Tyranitar as a backup Sand Streamer in the event that Hippowdon gets killed.
I think thats a pretty bad suggestion to be honest. Running another Sand Streamer is really superflous and just makes you doubly Kyogre weak who really is the bane of all such teams. Just don't be stupid and stay in on stuff like Dialga and Palkia who can kill you one shot.In place of what?
Okay so what on earth is "Brute Force" on your Deoxys-A and why even use Focus Band ? Whats the use for Earthquake on Forretress and where the hell are your EV sets and natures ? Also if you really want to get this team rated, you would be better off in the Team Rating forum, imo where more detailed information and rating can be done than over here in SQSA.Hi! I'm entering in Ubers, cause OU is plenty of annoying worms like SubSeed Whimsicott or ParaFlinch Jirachi... Obvious, I can found them in Ubers too, but with a single sweep of a claw they convert into dust... all right, the reason for this post is to I want you to tell me what to put in/out of this team...

So, it's my first post like this, so I don't know exactly where and how to post it... don't be su rude and try to help instead of throw dirt... at least, now I know how to do...Okay so what on earth is "Brute Force" on your Deoxys-A and why even use Focus Band ?

Yeah, that's right... Deoxys-A is so fragile, that one simple bullet punch may kill him (I'm only saying, that don't mean that it's true...) so with Focus Band, he can survive to an attack that normally make him fly, and retaliate with a powerfull move that will sweep the other one... at this point, I made a mistake... it's not Brute Force the move's name, it's Superpower... XPDon't you realize just how amazing Focus Band is? Especially on Sunkern, the most broken force in the Ubers metagame?
i think you mean focus SASH, focus band has only a very small chance of working.So, it's my first post like this, so I don't know exactly where and how to post it... don't be su rude and try to help instead of throw dirt... at least, now I know how to do...

Yeah, that's it... all the mistakes of writing and stuff it's because I don't speak a lot of english, so then I sometimes get wrong... u.uUi think you mean focus SASH, focus band has only a very small chance of working.
Yes it is legal in Uber. It was only ever banned from OU, that is Standard tier. So we can still use our favorite Kingdra and Kyogre !!Is Drizzle+Swift Swim legal in Ubers or was it banned from all competitive play?
