Please, forgive me if this isn't the best team. This is my first attempt at making an Uber team, and my first rate my team on Smogon.

Groudon@leftovers
Adamant
Drought
252HP/156Atk/32Def/68SpD
-Toxic
-Thunder Wave
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw

Toxics common Groudon counters such as Lugia to hinder their walling capabilities, thunder waves sweepers to allow him to destroy them. EQ for STAB, and dragon claw for the dragons in Uber.

Rayquaza@life orb
Jolly
Air Lock
252Atk/40SpD/216Spe
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage
-Overheat/Dragon Claw
-Crunch

DDQuaza. Outrage for STAB, overheat for special power or dragon claw for STAB without being locked, crunch for the amount of psychics in Uber.

Metagross@choice band
Adamant
Clear Body
252HP/244Atk/12Def
-Meteor Mash
-Explosion
-Bullet Punch
-Pursuit

CBGross. With the given EV spread, it survives Deoxys-FR's HP fire on the switch and OHKOs back with bullet punch. Meteor mash for powerful STAB, explosion for pure power while banded, and pursuit for switching psychics or just psychics in general. It also allows it to destroy switching Deoxys-FR.

Dialga@leftovers
Sassy
Pressure
252HP/4Atk/252SpD
-Bulk Up
-Dragon Claw
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

Bulk Up Dialga. Dragon claw for STAB, rest for healing, and sleep talk to net another bulk up or damage an opponent while resting. This is also my sleep absorber.

Forretress@leftovers
Relaxed
Sturdy
252HP/162Atk/96Def
-Spikes
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake/Rapid Spin
-Explosion/Rapid Spin

My spiker/SRer. EQ for power, and it explodes once it's job is done. Explosion is also if it gets trapped by Magnezone if it uses magnet rise. I can't decide what to take off for rapid spin if I use it.

Heatran@choice scarf
Flash Fire
Modest
252SpA/252Spe/6HP
-Lava Plume
-Dragon Pulse
-Earth Power
-Explosion

With two pokemon weak to fire, and Groudon's drought drawing fire attacks, Heatran will see a lot of play. Lava plume for power while flash fire is active, dragon pulse for the dragons in Uber, earth power for another attack, and explosion for killing things.


I might switch explosion out for other attacks on Heatran, Forretress, and Metagross. I need suggestions on what to switch it with on them. Also, I need suggestions on this team in general. The only pokemon I won't take off are Groudon and Rayquaza, because it took me a long ass time to get them on Ruby with the right nature. All the rest are able to be freely taken off and added on. With this team, I have resistances to every type of move. Also, with three pokemon weak to ground, I may be switching to Rayquaza often, so I may take a move on Forretress off for rapid spin, if that's a good idea.
 
I'm not into Ubers completely yet, as I just started to play last week, but I think Metagross would be better off with MM / Ice Punch / Earthquake / Pursuit, MM for the STAB, Ice Punch to hit locked in Rayquaza's, Earthquake for Dialga, and Pursuit for the monster of Deoxys-A. The EV's from Jibaku's Uber Guide's Metagross seem to be working for me, although other more experineced Uber players might have better.
 
Well, I forgot to mention this in my first post, but I don't have access to the move tutors from advanced, so I can't get ice punch on my Metagross.
 
Then you should put that it's for Wi-Fi and not Shoddy, because most Uber players here play shoddy.
 
For rayquaza i wouldn't use both Dragon Claw and Outrage, choose one. Crunch is more of a drag then help on the ray since Outrage will always do more damage than crunch even when crunch hits SE, Earthquake or Extremespeed would help kill dialga,metagross or cover Deoxys-F.

Careful nature on Dialga, sassy is +Spd / -speed
EDIT: oh sorry i forgot this is on wifi, you might want to try and get a careful nature one

Forretress i would only use SR not spikes because forretress wont have much time to set up spikes and SR helps rid lugia + much more helpful. Gyroball is better than earthquake, the only thing earthquake is good for is other metagross but you have heatran and groudon.

Heatran i would keep explosioin so that if kyogre switches in you can blow up on it eliminating their raindaince and allowing your groudon to set up permanent sunshine.

Your team is pretty slow, dialga is the only safe switch in on kyogre, and you seem to be lacking some specail defenses. Timid Life Orb mewtwo almost 1hit kos your entire team. I would try switching metagross or forretres with latias to fill in the lack of defense and help counter kyogre.
