ORAS Ubers Rate My Ubers Team

[JimThaLegend]

Hey I'm not that good at competitive Pokemon but once I started playing this game competitively I came to love the Ubers playlist that I've been playing on Showdown and I've been mainly using this team and I wanted someone's (preferably someone good) opinion on my team and to see if they think it's any good so without further ado here it is


Kyogre @ Choice Specs
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Water Spout
- Thunder

The Choice Specs Kyogre is obvious Spam Water Spout and one shot everything. I dont take Scarf because of higher dmg and a more guaranteed ohko but since i lack Scarf i maxed his speed. So Thunder because of Rain making it hit 100% of the time, Ice beam for Flying and Dragon types, and Surf in case i know I'm going to take dmg and water spout wont kill because of the dmg i have taken.

Blaziken-Mega (M) @ Blazikenite
Ability: Speed Boost
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Protect
- Swords Dance
- Low Kick
- Flare Blitz

I normally use Blaziken to take out a mon or two because of his high speed and dmg but due to his low hp its kinda hard to get a swords off. Protect because of moves that might one shot me, swords for butt loads of dmg and possible sweep, low kick because the pokemon in ubers are mostly heavy af and Flare Blitz because its a Physical move and packs loads of dmg. Blaziken is more of a situational pokemon for this team but he does good dmg and if i set things up right he can sweep my opponents team

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Toxic
- Gyro Ball
- Leech Seed
- Protect

Ferrothorn is my stall guy and hes really been good to me in this team. I prefer to take leftovers over Rocky Helmet because of the double heal i get from leech seed and leftovers. Toxic because of toxic dmg + leech seed dmg, Gyro Ball cus his speed is minuscule and protect because of more stalling.

Xerneas @ Power Herb
Ability: Fairy Aura
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Focus Blast
- Geomancy
- Moonblast
- Thunder

Xerneas is my main Special Atk Sweeper. The reason why is due to her high SpA dmg and the huge buff with Geomancy + Power Herb. I take Focus blast because of Steel types who think they can kill her and because its a special attack move. Thunder is mostly because of Kyogre and flying types.

Arceus @ Lum Berry
Ability: Multitype
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 168 HP / 252 Atk / 88 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Recover
- Shadow Claw
- ExtremeSpeed
- Swords Dance

Arceus is kinda like Xerneas except hes my Physical Sweeper. I use the normal version of Arceus because of ExtremeSpeed. Sword Dance + STAB + Adamant + Max Atk is a 1 shot kill 90% of the time. I have Shadow Claw because of the obvious Ghost types who cant be effected by ExtremeSpeed and recover just in case i have the chance for some more HP. He is my main Atk Sweeper.

Deoxys-Speed @ Focus Sash
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Thunder Wave
- Psycho Boost

Deoxys Speed is my Entry Hazards guy and normally i send him out first. I don't normally use this dude for attacking but if i have the chance for Psycho Boost to one shot someone ill take it. I was thinking since of Deoxys' low HP for trading the HP 252 for Atk or something else just in case i need to do more dmg but again its just a thought.



Okay so that's my team, I hope I put a good enough explanation for everyone (i probably didn't). Please leave your comments on how good you think this team is, if i need to explain anything better, or what i should change/improve on in the Ubers Tier. Thank you!

Ok, so a few things I'd recommend working in.
On Xerneas, input Grass Knot over Thunder. When it gets the Geomancy boost, Grass knot gains some major leverage on Pokemon that are resistant to Moonblast and Focus Blast. (Arceus Ground/Rock, Kyogre in Normal and Primal form, Groudon, and potentially Primal Groudon if it enters on a hazard.) However, thunder is a legitimate counter to Ho-oh, a big weakness on Xerneas, so it could go either way.
Arceus, as a sweeper, doesn't need the Recover. Try Will o Wisp instead, as this is a major crippling shot to big physical pkmn like mega Kangaskhan, Salamence, or other Arceus sweepers.
If you want to take potshots with Deoxys-S with Psycho Boost, convert the HP to Sp.Attack. However, its better to put taunt on it. Speed form is more exclusively used for hazards, and having an attack on it isn't necessary. Taunt is great for if you anticipate a boost or status, giving you a better chance to avoid a sweep from the beginning.
Overall, great team. Keep up the good work, and have fun in the competitive battling!

Hey man, nice team, however, there are a few things I would recommend. Firstly, Choice specs kyogre has lost a lot in the transition to ORAS, mainly due to primal groudon basically hard countering it. For this reason, I would recommend changing it to an offensive primal kyogre, while having less power, is not dead weight against the most common poke in the tier. Next, I would recommend putting thunder wave over toxic on ferrothorn as you already have leech seed to wear down walls and thunder wave helps against xerneas and mega salamence. Next, xerneas' spread could be optimized to a spread of 184 hp, 28 def, 252 spatk, and 44 spe with a modest nature. This gives you the ability to outspeed every relevant thing that you are able to outspeed after geomancy with max speed, while maximizing bulk. The 28 def evs help against genesect by giving it a spatk raise instead of atk. Also, putting grass knot would be a bad idea, as ho-oh is a premier check to xerneas and having thunder really helps. The targets of grass knot are already ohkoed by moonblast except for primal groudon, which focus blast is probably better for. For arceus, I would recommend giving it a simple 252 atk, 252 spe, 4hp spread as that is just better for it. Also shadow force is probably better than shadow claw as well, being able to deal more damage, even though it is a bit more exploitable. Also, earthquake should be used over WoW or recover IMO to make arceus into the most efficient sweeper possible. With deoxys-speed, your set is fine except I would run taunt over thunder wave for better utility, and maybe consider knock off or superpower instead of psycho boost so you aren't totally walled by darkrai, yveltal, or darkceus.
