K so I got the motivation to test this set out by seeing Atticus post the same set in OU QC and Fireburn post a ChestoRest for Kyogre in Uber QC. So I figured why shouldn’t this set work in Ubers if its so efficient in OU, so I tested. Results were what I expected. Half the time this Kingdra ends up playing the same way Standard Ubers Kingdra would, but ChestoRest has actually helped me pull off some sweeps like the standard dd king couldn’t have.
[Set]
name: Ubers ChestoRest
move 1: Dragon Dance
move 2: Outrage
move 3: Waterfall
move 4: Rest
item: Chesto Berry
evs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spe
nature: Adamant
Why this set should be on-site:
• Functions great in Ubers, much like Standard DD Kingdra
• Rest + Chesto allows it to heal off damage increasing longevity, get multiple dragon dances, as well beat darkrai who can normally take one Waterfall/outrage
• Rest + Chesto also means Kingdra doesn’t mind Status, entry Hazards (as much) and Toxic Spikes, which plague Kingdra generally
Additional Comments:
• 176 speed EVs let it outspeed Scarfed Garchomp (In the Rain) while dumping the remainder in HP to maximize Bulk
Counters:
• Dialga Immediately threatens you as it is not OHKO’d by a +1 Outrage and you cannot rest on it due to its Dragon Attacks
• Groudon brings in sunlight and can take a +1 outrage, definitely the biggest counter to this (as well as all) kingdra set
• Lugia can setup reflect and phase Kingdra away while taking Kingdra’s hits
Teammates:
• Scizor makes a great teammate for Dragon Dance Kingdra due to its ability to function as a Dialga lure as well as being able to scout “safe” moments for Kingdra to come in
• Wobbuffet can Encore a Fire- or Water-type attack, a support move, or status move to allow Kingdra to have a free turn to use Dragon Dance.
• Kyogre, without a doubt, is mandatory due to bringing out rain for Kingdras swift swim ability, as well as Waterfall
