ORAS Ubers ORAS Ubers- Mega Lucario (and some dank memes)

[dankmemesfam]

What's up everybody! I'm dankmemesfam bringing you my FIRST OR/AS ubers team! This tier is really fun to play, with all the strongest pokemon like Arceus and Primal Groudon firing off insanely powerful moves. My team is a bit different, carrying some usual pokemon, but some that aren't used quite as much. Anyways, thanks so much for reading and taking time to rate. On to the team!

John Cena (Lucario-Mega) @ Lucarionite
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Bullet Punch
- Swords Dance
- Crunch
My star of the team, Mega Lucario is a bit underrated in Ubers mainly because of Primal Groudon. However, this monster seems to KO pretty much anything not named Ho-Oh or groudon. Close combat backed by adaptability becomes a 240 power move before STAB, shreking everything that doesn't resist it. Bullet Punch is an obvious move for physical lucario. Swords Dance to boost the already insane attack of 389.

Trump's Gr8 Wall (Lugia) @ Leftovers
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Roost
- Roar
- Toxic
- Aeroblast
Lugia is my primal groudon check. He's very underrated at that, and checks all groudon not running stone edge (a surprising amount). Roost can heal me along with leftovers to preserve Multiscale. Roar can punish things like ExtremeKiller arceus and geomancy xerneas. Toxic is the best move to help me stall primal groudon, and aeroblast in case i get taunted.

Nickname (Xerneas) @ Power Herb
Ability: Fairy Aura
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Geomancy
- Moonblast
- Flash Cannon
- Thunder
I wanted to use xerneas as a Darkrai check, being able to set up a geomancy and kill everything with Moonblast. Geomancy and power herb together are gr8. Primal groudon and kyogre seem to wall xerneas, however i can run thunder to hit kyogre. Any advice on a move to kill Groudon will be much appreciated.

Satan (Darkrai) @ Life orb
Ability: Bad Dreams
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dark Void
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Sludge Bomb
I wanted something to quickly inflict sleep if something tried to sweep, so Darkrai was the obvious choice. Dark Void inflicts sleep, obviously. Nasty plot doubles the already high special attack, and sludge bomb hits fairies like xerneas.

Doge (Arceus) @ Leftovers
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Shadow Claw
- Stealth Rock
- Swords Dance
- Extreme Speed
At this point, i realized i was rather lacking in hazards. Arceus and primal groudon seem to be the only useful mons who set up rocks in ubers, and i decided on arceus. The rest of the moves are a typical ExtremeKiller arceus. He's also quite good at killing xerneas.

Doge (Groudon) @ Red Orb
Ability: Drought
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Lava Plume
- Thunder Wave
Groudon, as suggested by darksylvion, seems like a perfect rock setter for this team! Replacing my arceus, this leviathon can be bulky and deal large amounts of damage at the same time. I opted for thunder wave over roar on the last slot to slow down some sweepers.

Firin Mah Laser (Kyogre-Primal) @ Blue Orb
Ability: Primordial Sea
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunder
- Origin Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Water Spout
My final Pokemon is the majestic behemoth known as Primal Kyogre. This can be a great Primal Groudon check, as well as other Primal Kyogre. 100% accurate thunder should 2hKO all primal kyogres. Water spout hits mega hard if Kyogre has full HP.

Thanks much, team updated expect for Lugia. I opted to keep him for better bulk and multiscale. Even if rocks are up, he seems to have better bulk even mising multiscale.

 

[Sylveon.]

Hey dude, nice team, but just a few changes if would consider-

1. Lucario is just fine, but the main problem is other 5 of your mons don't exactly cover its counters like pdon (pogre is a shaky check), support ghostceus with will- o-wisp. Also as you don't have any hazard removal lugia's multiscale is easily broken and thereby gets overwhelmed by offensive pdons. Also crunch provides better coverage than earthquake.

2. Lugia is fine if you want to use it , but again support dragon-ceus or ghost-ceus (ekiller check) will help you so much with defogs and stuff and most of them beat pdons one on one.

3. Flash cannon is piss poor coverage though, ho-oh eats up your geoxern, so either add thunder or hidden power rock(just for ho-oh).

4 .Make darkrai timid as its main strength lies in its speed(when modest gets outsped by lati@s and diancie mega) and give it life orb to deal with opponents better at +2 and also change dream eater with nasty plot as darkrai gets plenty of opportunities to setup(beware of sleep talk mons though) and replace spacial rand with sludge bomb(for incoming xerns).

5. As far as the rocks are concerned now you can use support pdon with rocks and t-wave o get a effective geoxern counter.

6. kyogre is just fine.

darksylvion hit most of the big points but there are a few issues with some of your sets. Here are a few things you could patch up:

1. Lucario has crunch. Crunch really doesn't hit anything that you can't hit with Iron Tail (except the niche Aegislash), so I recommend Iron Tail > Crunch. Iron Tail gets Adaptability STAB, making it more powerful than Crunch even when Crunch is super effective. Alternatively, you can run Stone Edge > Crunch if you feel Ho-Oh is too annoying for your team (which it looks like might be the case at the moment). If you do run Stone Edge, be aware you're going to run into a few more problems when it comes to breaking hard walls such as Mega Sableye.

2. Lugia really has no reason to run Aeroblast. I really don't even think Aeroblast hits anything Lugia needs to check. I recommend Ice Beam > Aeroblast because the coverage is just incredible. Lugia is a premier check to a lot of the setup fliers in the tier. Having Ice Beam lets you reliably hit them hard. Be aware Rayquaza is not OHKO'd, so if your Multiscale is broken, you should take caution. If you're worried about opposing Mega Lucario (which I think is the only reason you'd run Aeroblast?), Lugia gets broken anyway if you don't Roar.

3. Flash Cannon literally does not do anything for Xerneas. Opposing Xerneas is hit harder by Moonblast than Flash Cannon. Thus, Focus Blast > Flash Cannon should be a welcome change. This allows you to actually hit steel types that might wall you. It also gives you an option to hit Primal Groudon. If you are less worried about steel types, due to your Mega Lucario, then you can run: Hidden Power Rock > Flash Cannon and Grass Knot > Thunder. This specific set completely does 0 damage to steel mons, however, HP Rock hits fliers more accurately than Thunder, and Grass Knot hits Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre for the same damage as Focus Blast and Thunder would respectively.

Other than these, I would seriously consider darksylvion's recommendation of getting Defog onto your team. Hazards will be devastating to your team, as you will slowly get chipped down and Lugia loses its Multiscale. Hope things work out for you!
