My Uber RMT

My Uber team

Members: Deoxys-S; Groudon; Ho-oh; Palkia; Giratina;Mewtwo



This team is 100% made of Uber blood,see?

I’m not a pro with team building but here goes…





Lead
Deoxys-S@ Focus Sash
Jolly (+Speed/-Sp. Attack)
Pressure
4Hp/252Atk/252Spe
-Stealth Rock
-Taunt
-Superpower
-ExtremeSpeed


I like this type of lead with only one plan of action:
A superfast freak that shuts down enemy leads with Taunt, sets up Stealth Rocks and damages as much as it can with Superpower and ExtremeSpeed before going bye-bye. Only ghosts wall its attacks, but its main purpose is to prevent others from setting hazards and lay its own and not to sweep teams. Max speed is an obligation, as it is max attack if I want some damage to be done. I like my leads with some “fat” too, so the 4 Ev’s go to HP.

Weakness covering:
Bug: Ho-oh /Giratina
Dark: None
Ghost: None
 


Physical Sweeper and “Sets up the sun”
Groudon@ Leftovers
Adamant (+Attack/-Sp. Attack)
Drought
116Hp/252Atk/140Spe
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Rock Polish
-Fire Punch

Groudon is always Ho-oh’s best friend, unless an enemy Kyogre shows up, but in that case Palkia will help get rid of that “pest”, so that Groudon can shine again. With Rock Polish, this monster can boost its speed sky high and start to sweep fragile low defense ubers (almost all ubers are physically weak) and every other pokemon that stands in the way. Earthquake is obvious for stab and type coverage. Stone Edge is for type coverage also. Fire Punch is the strongest physical fire move Groudon learns, it gains a boost from the weather and it’s capable of crushing grass types too. HP Ev’s are there so that Groudon can Rock Polish without suffering too much damage. Attack was maxed out to sweep with ease, and the speed Ev’s allow it to outrun pokemon with 100 base speed with no other investment.

Weakness coverage:
-Ice: None
-Water: Palkia/Giratina
-Grass: Ho-oh/Giratina
 


Mixed Sweeper
Ho-oh@ Life Orb
Relaxed (+Speed/- Defense)
Pressure
100Hp/100Atk/176Sp.Atk/132Spe
-Sacred Fire
-Solarbeam
-Roost
-Hidden Power Ice

My personal favorite, the legendary rainbow bird: Ho-oh! Thanks to Groudon’s Drought, the sun always shines and this beast can sweep almost everything with Sacred Fire, unless it’s fire resistant, but even in that situation, a 50% burn chance aren’t very nice odds for an adversary. Solarbeam doesn’t need to recharge when the sun’s up, so it can handle several incoming water and rock types. Roost helps Ho-oh refill its HP loss to recoil and damage. Hidden Power Ice deals with dragons that would otherwise resist my set. It needed some speed and power boost to sweep better, so Ev’s were placed in both attack and special attack and speed also. To absorb the recoil better, Ev’s went to HP too.

Weakness coverage:
-Rock: Groudon
-Electric: Groudon/Giratina
-Water: Palkia/Giratina

 

Special Sweeper
Palkia@ Lustrous Orb
Modest (+Sp. Attack/-Attack)
Pressure
252Sp.Atk/252Spe
-Spacial Rend
-Thunder
-Fire Blast
-Hydro Pump

This monstrous beast is my answer to enemy nosy Kyogre and is also a special sweeper. If a Kyogre comes in and ruins my sunny weather, Thunder will deal with him. Since it never misses in the rain it’s really bad news for the whale. The drizzle also helps Hydro Pump (a good addition that came with HG and SS) boosting its damage. If there are no climate changes, and it’s still hot, Fire Blast powers up and burns foes to cinders. Spacial Rend literally rips through almost everything whether it’s sunny or rainy. Of course, since it’s a special sweeper, max speed and special attack was a must.

Weakness cover:
-Dragon: None
 


Physical Wall
Giratina@ Leftovers
Impish (+Defense/-Sp. Attack)
Pressure
252Hp/4Atk/252Def
-Will-O-Wisp
-Shadow Force
-Earthquake
-Rest

Giratina is here to block annoying rapid spinners and to stall physical sweepers. The mighty shadow monster even resists the most powerful physical moves such as Earthquake and Stone Edge sent from the toughest physical sweepers like Tyranitar and Gyarados. Even though a boosted Crunch or Outrage hurt a lot, Will-O-Wisp shortens their power and slowly hurts the foes, too. Shadow Force is one of my favorite moves and it’s also very powerful. It has a waiting turn, but Giratina’s invulnerable while waiting and receives Leftovers support also. Even if the target is ghost resistant (normal type exception) it still hurts being hit with a 120 power STAB move. Earthquake is for pokemon that resist or are immune to Shadow Force. Rest removes status and replenishes health. I don’t like Sleep Talk in this set because I don’t like to leave these choices to random choosing. It may also surprise the adversary since I don’t have a move slot with Sleep Talk.

Weakness Coverage:
-Dragon: None
-Ice: None
-Ghost: None
-Dark: None
 


Revenge Killer
Mewtwo@ Choice Scarf
Modest (+Sp. Attack/-Attack)
Pressure
4Hp/252Sp.Atk/252Spe
-Ice Beam
-Aura Sphere
-Shadow Ball
-Thunderbolt

Mewtwo is a fast special revenge killer, capable of crushing any dragon in the game and a lot of other menaces too. Ice Beam deals with them pesky dragons that might have damaged my team, Aura Sphere and Shadow Ball cover most of my team’s other weaknesses and Thunderbolt eliminates flying type enemies and never misses regardless the weather. Since it focuses on the special side sp. attack was maxed and speed is obvious for a revenge killer.

Weakness coverage:
-Ghost: None
-Bug: Ho-oh/ Giratina
-Dark: None

That's all for my team and rate nicely please...

I thank any rating you give me.

Cheers =)

Your team seems to be Latios weaks. He can switch in on almost anything (most notably Latios) and set up for a sweep.

I would recommend a Scarfed pokemon to revenge kill the thing. Darkrai is an excellent choice as it allows you to put things asleep as well as hit it with a STAB'd Dark Pulse. Also under further speculations, you seem to have 2 Pokemon weak to Ice attacks, while having one that resists it (Scizor). Might want to consider a different Pokemon that can help sponge those pesky Ice Beams.

Palkia in a Drought team seems a bit "meh" if I say so myself. You're STAB'd Hydro Pump will dish out less damage thanks to the Water resistance Drought provides.

Even though I don't like it very much, Kyogre would be a good replacement for Scizor.
It resists Special Attacks, particulary Ice Beams, and lauches Ice Beams of it's own. I think it could take a Draco Meteor from a Rayquaza and survive to tell the story.
I don't like the rain, but, with a little work, it could be inserted in the team strategy.
What do you think?

[Solace]

That would work.

I personally like Drizzle teams more than Drought. =O

[imim]

There! The changes are made! =)

[Solace]

Hmm.

I would consider these.

Giratina @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP/248 Def/12 SDef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Will-o-wisp
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

This guy can switch in on a sweeper and cripple it with WoW. Outrage lets you dent anything that comes in and works nicely with Rest + Sleep Talk. Rest gives you more longevity while Sleep Talk lets you do things while you're still asleep.

Kyogre @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Water Spout
- Surf
- Thunder
- Ice Beam

This Kyogre lets you revenge kill things quite decently. Water Spout is your main weapon as it grants Kyogre a 150 Base Attack (if you're at full HP) that is factored by both Drizzle and STAB. In more cases, if your opponent is unpprepaired, there's a possibility in sweeping. Surf is for a secondary STAB move that is also factored by Drizzle. Thunder is there to hurt enemy Kyogre's and is your best bet against Palkias. Ice Beam is there for those pesky Dragons like Rayquaza and Latios. (I would suggest switching out if a Latias desides to switch in)

Considering that your team is still weak to dragons, I think you should toss in a Steel type or Shedinja to take care of them. Also, like I said before, Drizzle > Drought in my opinion, so you might want to consider different Pokemon besides Groudon and Ho-oh.

[imim]

I don't like revenge killers.
Having teammate whose only job is to kill what killed something in my team...i don't like that idea. I prefer something that can take hits and revenge those hits.
And my Giratina has the same function as the one you posted, except yours has a Dragon move and mine doesn't. Maybe I'll change Earthquake with Outrage.

For Deoxys-S I would suggest you replace its attacking moves with light screen and reflect. Light Clay would also be a good item for it.

Deoxys-S need to certify the opposing lead doesn't lay its hazards, or my Ho-oh is done for in the first seconds of battle.
After it taunts, it lays it's hazards and eliminates the other lead, so there won't be any risk of Stealth Rocks in the future.
