First off, I want to say something very important on this team. If anyone dares try to challenge me without Soul Dew Clause, I will take it to be an Uber match and load this team. If Sleep Clause if off too, that's just icing.
Learn your clauses, people!
Dive Ball set-Refract, SAPPHIREON: Informative Blessing of the Yang!
♂
Light Clay
Levitate
252 HP/4 Def/252 Speed
Jolly (+Speed, -Special Attack)
Light Screen
Reflect
Memento
Safeguard
A strong defensive lead to get rolling with, the DualScreens ensure the other team members can wreak as much havoc as possible, and isn't it fun to see a Status move blocked by a Safeguard? If I no longer feel Latios can be any use to me, he can go and Memento himself.
Luxury Ball set-Consume, FUNKYFUNGI: Nucleus of Infestation!
♀
Leftovers
Dry Skin
248 HP/12 Attack/92 Def/156 Special Def
Jolly (+Speed, -Special Attack)
Spore
Stun Spore
Aromatherapy
X-Scissor
Being the second slot on my team, you can see Parasect is the main INNOV@TION of the team. Between her toxins, she can easily screw up the opposing team, especially if Choiced Water attacks are involved. Aromatherapy takes care of my own team and X-Scissor 2HKO's a grand amount of Ubers. Say what you want, she's not exactly easy to take out.
One more thing, don't listen to Smogon. Adamant is not required to have certain 2HKO's and Jolly is needed in order to outspeed freaking Wobbuffets.
By the way, if you haven't noticed, everyone else on the team resists Fire, and chances are it will be Raining.
Premier Ball set-Go 69, RUBYEON: Philosophical Psychology of the Yin!
♀
Soul Dew
Levitate
112 HP/192 Speed/204 Special Attack
Timid (+Speed, -Attack)
Wish
Dragon Pulse
Protect
Calm Mind
Calm Mind Latias: AWAY! I know she's in the third slot, but she's actually the last Pokémon that was considered to be on this team. Her main purpose is to actually spread Wish to the rest of the team (which rarely actually happens), but I also wanted her to have some little bad in her...
Dive Ball set-Ripple, OCEANLORD: Bringer of the Acid Rain!
☼
Leftovers
Drizzle
252 HP/4 Speed/252 Special Attack
Modest (+Special Attack, -Attack)
Calm Mind
Substitute
Surf
Ice Beam
Well, I pretty much had to ensure the main INNOV@TION was properly supported. And this being an INNOV@TION team, I decided to go for Substitute + Calm Mind (but that's probably highly used, isn't it...). Between the help of Lati@s, games usually end just at the...er...fins of this behemoth.
Quick Ball set-Radiate, MYSTICSTAR: Mechanical Fish!
☼
Leftovers
Natural Cure
252 Speed/252 Special Attack/4 Special Def
Timid (+Speed, -Attack)
Thunder
Surf
Rapid Spin
Ice Beam
Again, more support for Queen Parasect. Thunder and Surf both benefit from Drizzle, and Ice Beam just nails so many things. Besides, Starmie doesn't look like the type who can wall Ubers, so there is a shortage of Recover and defensive EV's. Leftovers is good enough. Still, it surprises me Starmie isn't used in Ubers more often.
Repeat Ball set-Disrupt, SPACEARCEUS: Rewinder of the Mind!
☼
Choice Scarf
Pressure
4 Attack/252 Speed/252 Special Attack
Hasty (+Speed, -Def)
Thunder
Spacial Rend
Surf
Outrage
Yeah...I needed a wall breaker, what about it? You want me to use Bulk Up or what? Lol, only Spacial Rend and Outrage do the actual wall-breaking. Surf is almost always the strongest and most reliable move I can have at the time and Thunder in general eliminates certain things and that nifty Paralysis bonus.
Counters
First of all, Groudon can go some ways to screw with this team, but nothing too much of a concern. Rock Polish could get troublesome, though. Speaking of which, if Rayquaza or Salamence manages to get some boosts up, that could be a problem as well.
I also lack notable resistances, so a Palkia has potential to do some major damage. I also have nothing that can be remotely considered to have a good match-up versus Shedinja, not to mention that my only option against it is Struggle. I haven't met up with one yet, however. Give Palkia Flamethrower, maybe?
This team also has a thing or two against fast Taunters.
I'm also not very sure, but a Specs Castform in Trick Room paired with a Kyogre may be able to be a bit of trouble.
I am on Shoddy Battle: Smogon server every day, most of the time.
