1552 CRE on my very first day-Rate My First Uber Team
rofl, the history of team. This morning I woke up at 8AM and thought: "i want to learn how to play ubers for the first time". I looked up what pokemon were in the uber tier and made a team in 15 mins. Then I started laddering. by 9AM, my CRE was 1470 already, but Giratina was still: (rofl)
Giratina-o
Lonley(0IV hp,def,spd)
252atk,252spe
-Sub
-Outrage
-TAILWIND
-DESTINY BOND
This giratina is not part of the team(anymore)
XD, I thought it was a good idea at first. Anyway, I laddered for another hour on and off, and it kinda got boring kinda cuz I won so much. This team wasn't build around anything when I made it, but the strategy seems to be: thunder wave everything in sight, revenge kill all electric resists, spam Thunder with Dialga and win. Enjoy...
Shaymin-s @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 70 HP/188 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Air Slash
- Earth Power
- Seed Flare
- Hidden Power [Ice]
---
Shaymin’s job is to grab some flinch hax with its Serene Grace and air slash. The EVs make it 1 point faster than +speed deoxys-s, and 2HKO with air slash, hopefully getting a flinch on the first one. I have almost swept entire teams with this thing and repeated flinches. I try not to push my luck though. When I see something weakened enough to kill, I switch. After a flinch or two, its amazingly easy to predict and switch in something else to revenge kill: nobody’s going to try and predict your switch in.
Mewtwo @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Aura Sphere
- Fire Blast
- Ice Beam
- Selfdestruct
---
Mewtwo is probably the weak link of this team, and I don’t even know why its here except that Mewtwo helped me beat the Elite Four. Mewtwo can switch in on Kyogre’s ice beams and Manaphy and use Selfdestruct. Very rarely does it actually get to use its special attacks though. I would like input on what to replace this with.
Giratina-o @ Platinum Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Outrage
- Shadow Sneak
- Earthquake
---
Giratina is a beast, especially without the complex ev spreads people are always designing for it. 4/252/252 works wonders. For blissey, I pivot from jirachi(to take toxic) to giratina(to take anything else) and then substitute. Outrage 2HKOs dialgas that think they can switch in and kyogres that want to restalk. Shadow sneak has saved me against SD endure salac garchomp before, and is nice ghost type stab.
Dialga @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Thunder
- Fire Blast
- Outrage
---
Choice scarf dialga is an utter nightmare for the myriads of rain dance teams there are out there. Thunder makes kyogres water spout useless and can 2HKO most rain sweepers. Fire blast destroys forretress that think they can take a draco meteor and use spikes. Finally, this is amazing against darkrai once something else gets put to sleep.
Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 240 HP/76 Def/192 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Wish
- U-turn
- Iron Head
- Thunder Wave
---
Here is the pokemon that makes this team good. Thunder wave whatever switches in. Then, wish and switch to an appropriate counter, restoring 50% of its health. Jirachi can survive a Rayquaza’s LO earthquake and thunder wave it so it can’t set up. This works wonders alongside shaymin, giving me the legendary Serene Grace para-flinch combo with only a 20% chance of attacking when paraed. Kyogres and scarf palkia are the main switch ins to this and both get t-waved and become useless.
Latias (F) @ Soul Dew
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 64 HP/192 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Recover
- Dragon Pulse
- Thunder
---
Latias is my primary Kyogre counter. The speed evs let it outspeed jolly garchomp, which is always helpful. One of the main switch-ins to this is a scarf dragon that then uses outrage. I then switch to Jirachi who t-waves it and pretty much takes it out of the game. Once half the other guys team is paralyzed, latias can easily clean.
