is a Past SCL Championis a Two-Time Former Smogon Metagame Tournament Circuit Championis a Former Old Generation Tournament Circuit Champion


Hi Smogon, after I peak many times at 1700+I decided to post one of my ORAS Ubers team. It's a Semi-stall anti-meta on the begin of ORAS. But it doesn't work well now with the new meta (hi P Ogre toxic).Let's go for the RMT.


Teambuilding process:



I start with mega-sableye + lugia because these 2 mons check/counter many mons in Ubers and with his amazing ability sableye can protect lugia to stealth rocks.



Next I add SpDef Primal Groudon because I need a stealth rocks and P Don is the best rocks setter in the game and he check Xerneas, darkrai, kyogre and the lati twins very nicely.



I add latias because i'm pretty weak to kyogre and certain arceus form (hi groundceus), also latias learn defog.




My team is fucking destoyed by Ho-Oh and arceus is god. Welcome Rockceus. (and arceus learn defog too). He help me against Yveltal too.




Finally I use Banded Ho-Oh because it's my favorite mon in Ubers and he help me against strong special attacker.



Latias → Latios because I need power.

Sableye @ Sablenite

Prankster
248 HP | 124 Def | 136 SpD
Impish Nature [+ Defense, - Sp. Atk.]
Moveset:
Foul Play – Foul Play is a standard on Mega Sableye in Ubers, and the reason is simple. Foul Play hit harder many mons in Ubers because in Ubers many mons have a great attack and prevent set up sweeper (hi arceus ekiller)
Will-O-Wisp - WoW is very important, because a burned physical sweeper is not a sweeper and for inflict resual damage.
Fake Out/Protect – This 2 moves is very useful for mega evolve safe and gain 1 turn of Burn/toxic.
I can break sash with fake out but I can use protect vs ghost mon.
Recover – Recoveris mandatory on sableye for staying power.
.....
Why this Pokémon?:
Sableye has a amazing typing in ubers (Such Mewtwo X and Y, kangashkan, arceus, deoxys-A...) and magic bounce is very useful vs many mon (lugia, deoxys-s no skill swap, defensive yveltal, giratina, klefki....)

Threatlist :


Where is my Tyranitar

If he has toxic I probably lose the game.

DD salamence if he has eq and lugia and P Don is weaken.

P Don Double dancer if lugia is weaken

If the rocks are up, darkrai LO nasty plot is very hard to kill for me (bounce dark void with sableye or kill with P Don)

SD Ghostceus + Shadow force destroy my team:(

If he has smell smash, he can really hurt my team.

Darkceus CM + refresh is very hard for my team, latios can check the other CM + Refresh arceus but not the dark x(. Go Ho-Oh.

Adamant + SR P Don because sableye is 2HKO by eq/precipice blades/fire punch and he can use SR.

Diancie is a big threat, lugia can beat she in 1v1, arceus outspeed and can kill a weaken diancie and P Don take Moonblast/Diamond storm + earthpower and he OHKO in return.

Hello, your team seems to be very well built and covers pretty much everything I can think of. However, as you noted in your threatlist, Dark-types can be a significant issue. I have 3 potential solutions that could work for you, with all three replacing Latios should you want to try them:

Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Moonblast
- Heal Bell / Toxic
- Wish
- Protect

This variant of Clefable deals with Yveltal very well, walls Arceus-Dark and PP stalls it out of Judgments and Recovers with Unaware, while also 1v1ing other Calm Mind Arceus formes again thanks to Unaware. It can heal away Toxic on your Arceus-Rock / Groudon and can wish pass to Groudon as well.

Xerneas @ Leftovers / Shed Shell
Ability: Fairy Aura
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe
Bold Nature
- Moonblast
- Calm Mind / Roar
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

CroXern can absorb sleep from Darkrai should you not want to switch Ho-Oh in to take a Dark Void (Stealth Rock being up), can 1v1 Arceus-Dark effortlessly, can act as a last-mon-standing heavy sweeper to potentially save you, and can also 1v1 Calm Mind Arceus that aren't Dark due to Moonblast's Special Attack drops. If you use Roar it can just about take boosted hits from physical attackers and phase them out, and can phase Arceus-Dark too. You also get to drag Ho-Oh through Stealth Rock should it try to switch in on you. Shed Shell lets you bluff Choice Scarf should you switch in on Dark Void, and lets you escape Mega Gengar.

Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Moonblast
- Calm Mind
- Heal Bell
- Moonlight

This Clefable set is rather bizzare but it can actually 1v1 Calm Mind Arceus formes thanks to Unaware, and can also act as a cleric. This Clefable can actually set up on Geomancy Xerneas, believe it or not, and walls Yveltal as well.

The second and third sets may seem rather far out, but Calm Mind Fairies are always interesting to use. Clefable doesn't care about Darkrai's Nasty Plot boosts and "only" takes 50-60% from Life Orb Sludge Bomb, returning ~85% damage with Moonblast.

You could also try Tyranitar, again over Latios, something along the lines of:

Tyranitar @ Chople Berry / Shuca Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge
- Low Kick
- Ice Beam / Thunder Wave / Counter / Roar / Toxic (I have honestly no idea)

I honestly have no idea about the EVs or last move, Pursuit helps you trap Gengar, Low Kick 2HKOes Arceus-Dark and deals heavy damage to Darkrai (you wall both after Dark Void has been used), Stone Edge lets you deal damage to Ho-Oh and Yveltal, with the last slot being whatever you want, you could run Ice Beam for Salamence, Thunder Wave for Salamence, Counter + Chople Berry for SD Arceus-Ghost (you'd probably need some investment in Defense to live Brick Break though), Counter + Shuca Berry for offensive Groudon / Salamence, Toxic to ruin Calm Mind Arceus-Ghost, Roar to phase out things.

I hope that one of these suggestions helps you improve your team, and good luck!

you posted the same thing twice nerd
also imo go with a cm fairy otherwise donkey might accuse you of using a variation of his team, though he probably still would if he hadn't quit since the support clefable / lugia / sableye is a goto defensive core (as seen in spl and some other rmts iirc), whereas there hasn't been as much of the cm fairies. While this isn't technically a legitimate reason to use one set over the other, it is fun to play with something different

Hey Pistolero,
I really like the idea of clefable in my team but w/out latios i'm very very weak to Kyogre (especially Defensive SleepTalker P Ogre) But I try clef in the ladder and I say u the results. :]

252+ SpA Primal Kyogre Origin Pulse vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Clefable in Heavy Rain: 294-346 (74.6 - 87.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ SpA Primal Kyogre Origin Pulse vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Lugia in Heavy Rain: 259-306 (62.2 - 73.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
0 Atk Primal Groudon Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Primal Kyogre: 139-165 (34.4 - 40.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Well, you do have specially defensive Groudon to switch into Kyogre a couple of times, and nothing on your team lets Kyogre come in for free unless you lock Ho-Oh into Sacred Fire. Sableye can burn it to wear it down, Ho-Oh OHKOes with Brave Bird or does significant damage with Earthquake, Lugia poisons it and can outspeed and Roost back up to Multiscale if need be, and Arceus-Rock can deal damage with Judgment or again wear it down with Wisp. Clefable is not a free switchin for Kyogre as it can Wish as Kyogre comes in, then pass the Wish to Groudon or simply Protect to get its own health back, lure the Origin Pulse then switch to Groudon for free. If you want to deal more damage to Kyogre with Groudon, by all means use Precipice Blades over Earthquake, as it can 2HKO even fully physically defensive Kyogre after Stealth Rock. I can see the issue if Kyogre switches into Groudon, but as long as you don't telegraph your moves you should be fine. I just noticed that you are using Dragon Claw on Groudon, I would recommend you change this to Dragon Tail, and also consider Stone Edge or Lava Plume over Thunder Wave.
 
Hey Exiline,
nice team you ve built here! I don t have many suggestions but a couple ideas. First of all I would go for Latias, because your team is not spikesstacking offense and does not need the CM Latios power. Latias has more bulk and will help you in combination with Groudon much more vs Kyogre, which is at the moment rather problematic. This would allow your Arceus to run Refresh which is much better vs opposing stall and Toxic Offense. I would like to see a Cleric in your team like Xerneas but that would change the team to much in my opinion. Otherwise the team is well structured and built.

Latias (F) @ Soul Dew
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hardy Nature
- Roost / Healingwish
- Psyshock
- Reflect Type
- Draco Meteor / Thunderwave

Hey Steve Angello
ah reflect type I like the idea for wall Kyo :) But I use CM latios mainly for CM Ceus :) (and after 1 CM DM is litteraly a nuke^^)
 

Thugly Duckling

I play TCG now
You've got some good suggestions from pistolero, so i'll leave your team at that; but, your team will look an awful like Steelphoenix's if you go with Clefable. Btw, your Arceus-Rock picture gives viewers a nice look at His assholecave.

10/10 teamsteal, this team can't beat Mega-Diancie this why i don't use it anymore thanks for sharing I guess.
Hi Evuelf,
Firstly I don't steal your team, the build is very standard it's just a coincidence if we are the same team... And if I steal u can say the same to steelphoenix and I can say to many other player "u steal my offense with Deo-S, Arceus ekiller, P Don, Xern, darkrai and salamence"
Secondly yh diancie is a threat and I forgot she in the threatlist (thx) but lugia win the 1v1 and ceus can kill and outspeed diancie if he weaken (and P Don OHKO diancie but he take 55% from earth power).

"Btw, your Arceus-Rock picture gives viewers a nice look at His assholecave." lol ^^'
 
Secondly yh diancie is a threat and I forgot she in the threatlist (thx) but lugia win the 1v1
lol

I can attest to Evuelf making this team. I played him on ladder very early oras (less than a week after Mega Ray was banned I think) and it isn't standard enough to where coincidence bs argument applies. Cmon team stealing isn't cool regardless of how good/bad the team itself is.

eh this team doesn't really use any random set or obscure / customized EVs so you kind of need more than "I played him on the ladder very early oras" to accuse Exiline of team stealing. Did Evuelf pastebin this team? Was Exiline watching Evuelf's games? Does Evuelf have replays of this team? (PS doesn't have any btw). And if there is actual evidence, why didn't you just include that with your initial post lol.

Is it that hard to imagine someone else would make the same team as you? It's not like there are that many workable combinations of Pokemon left when you fix Sableye and Lugia.

benefit of the doubt etc.

edit @ below
1st bolding and repasting: And if there is actual evidence, why didn't you just include that with your initial post lol.

Anyway, cool, you do have replays. They are still from the beginning of December, and if you looked up Exiline's post history outside of short post in an Ubers RMT it seems to me like he played OU. Sure lurking and forums =/= PS, but I'm not seeing the likelyhood that an OU player caught some of your Ubers ladder games, stole your team, and decided to wait 2 months to RMT it. But that's enough from me, Exiline is the one with the details here.

edit: k Evuelf gave me more info (once again, just provide everything in the first place) so stuff is more clear now.

And as for why it matters: no evidence makes it look petty, not very convincing, not something that makes people feel welcome
with evidence: now there is an actual issue, saves time, stealing teams is a bigger deal

Evuelf, seriously u think if I steal ur team I post in Smogon...I'm not stupid really. And steal team and post is very ugly....I'm not a garbage lol.
lol

I can attest to Evuelf making this team. I played him on ladder very early oras (less than a week after Mega Ray was banned I think) and it isn't standard enough to where coincidence bs argument applies. Cmon team stealing isn't cool regardless of how good/bad the team itself is.
and hack the build is standard imo:

Lugia + sableye is not an amazing innovation
P Don: thi mon is in 90% of the ORAS team
Arceus: many teams have an arceus...
Ho-Oh check many threat and he help many teams against stall

But Honestly, if you don't believe me I do not care....

Have a good day

Describing the combination so coldly and making up excuses makes me think that guy is right. TimeStamps are the proof we need.
