I've been using this but I'm now stuck around 1450-1500.
Kyogre lead, SP Necrozma as endgame win condition after all other mons faint to prevent whirlwind/dragon tail. I struggle against dark types (obviously lol) but can usually work around them, bar Kingambit.
When needed I can play without Necrozma and use it as a sack for positioning (for ditto and Kyogre).
Any help greatly appriciated : )

Can someone please suggest a replacement for shedinja and Swampert
(I didn't know shed wasn't allowed in this tier)
use pokepaste and doesnt seem viable
use a sample team if ya want to be as competitive as possible
💀 I'm keeping that as the last option if my teams don't work
(I'm down 23 teams already)
oh
not a sample but viability rankings here:https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sv-ubers-viability-rankings.3724082/

Hello all! Here's our second viability rankings thread to represent the post-home metagame.
This is a list of the seventy-two viable Pokemon in SV Ubers, sorted top-to-bottom from most to least viable.
Thread Rules
- Post intelligently. One-liners saying things...
Using ditto and Kyogre on same team
Is overkill
U probably want to replace one for Arceus fairy
I suggest replace the Kyogre for Arceus fairy/water cause ditto is a better speed control mon
In most cases
Replace hatterene
Hatterene is mostly needed when ur team is extremely weak to rocks
Ex non heavy duty boots ho oh teams
OK, thanks so much for the feedback! All good otherwise?
You probably wanna add up koraidon asw because it's the best mon in the tier
U can replace giratina origins
With koraidon since u have a ditto
Webs isn't a problem
Yh that makes sense. Is hazard stack/webs def not an issue? Won't Koraidon need speed still?
What's a good wall to use in ubers (megas specifically, I'm making a team with a few restrictions:
One legendary, one mythical (paradox mons and ubs are being counted as mythicals)
Can someone help me out wit picking a tank for my team
this is not the channel for natdex ubers, nor is the RMT section the place to ask questions like this, nor is it the server to ask about building for arbitrary formats.
please re-read the rules #1024432517077540904
Koraidon needs to be max speed hazard stack isn't that viable in Ubers rn other than webs ditto can pathup the webs matchup but if u feel it's not enough u can add up zacian c with substitute if ur opposing ho dont run ndm or pagos it can be a insta win
can someone rate

Can someone tell me how to improve this team
This is for National Dex Ubers but we can't help if you're not willing to use viable mons
Why can’t you just go use viable mons, and why can’t you go use pokepaste
It's a stupid elite 4 thing my friend's doing, + he kept a lot of restrictions
Like?
If it is for an arbitrary format we can't really help with that
/ resources national Dex ubers
Not sure how to do the command
What does that mean 💀 (sorry I'm kinda new to this thing)
Any opinion on my team so far? So far been working great even tho i feel i could change Darmanitan
Oh nvm i can pokepaste forgot give me a sec
Also i tried using pokemons that so far have helped me counter most top tiers because i feel like if i use the usual S+ and all i will keep having mirror matches and loss
please send the actual paste link instead of the export
also you're in the wrong thread, your team is for National Dex Ubers as you are using Pokemon which are unavailable in Scarlet/Violet. Post the link to your pokepaste in this thread https://discord.com/channels/192713314399289344/1060037469472555028
They are different things? Sorry i have never been deep into pokemon showdown outside doing my own teams and trying to learn, never shared it ty for telling me
Okay! Tysm for help

scarf taunt?
crunch > taunt on lando, and just go max attack. these types of structures also generally work better w girao/hatt and ho-oh/lo etern > ting dirge
dirge does not fit here
at all
you're a specs ogre scale korai bo
shouldnt be using momentum sinks like dirge
I think you might have to deal with zac via scarf lando
i would say go girao ho-oh > dirge ting
and go lo korai > dice
reason is bc you want a secondary breaker alongside ogre
Move set
Im thinking flame charge wild low kick buuuut idk
Scale shot flame charge cc looses to arc fairy
sd low kick dclaw flame charge is fine
Basically can't touch it
no
Less so compared to Dirge because it has Whirlwind
bc ho-oh makes progress just by existing
between sfire bb and ww
the difference between ho-oh and dirge is ho-oh ISNT passive
it's threatening in its own right independently of the utility it provides
dirge is not
dirge can give turns to mons like ogre
ho-oh does not bc bb is genuinely threatening to would-be sfire switchins
Okay
Appreciate the help
one more thing
go max defense on fairy
and drop speed to 16
fairy's p much your most relied-korai scale sponge
Can I keep lu
For eternatus
I feel like it will be kinda hard to defensively answer
u can pivot into lo etern w ho-oh
its not a perfect solution but it still exists
plus u have recovery unlike lu
mbeam is rare nowadays and also doesnt even match up that well into this team at all
offensively u have korai ogre scarf lando, defensively u have twave fairy (esp good w rain vs mbeam) and ho-oh is herb has been used
lorb etern could still break with sludge bomb poison into dynamax cannons, but this is good enough IG
yes its not a perfect solution but its the one that provides the best chance vs lo etern AND eases the mu into bs like korai zac etc, whereas w ting you're completely reliant on one check that can get smashed and/or reactive tera to check them

Id make regieleki-> grimm and flitter is pretty mid, id personally make it glimmora and turn this into screens ho
Flutter is fine
It has a pretty good matchup
Into current Ubers meta it can spam
Moonblast
Power gem
It's a ghost type....
Ekiller runs sclaw
I feel like smth like ghostceus could abuse screens more
Mane can actually ohko all the offensive mons in the current meta with moon blast mystical fire shadow ball calm mind under koraidon's sun
Can run power gem instead of calm mind if the team has a ho oh weakness
Mystical fire under sun ohkoes zacian
and the idea is to have it under sun most of the time to take advantage of proto speed
Ghostceus also self improofs
https://pokepast.es/5474e6464d34f234 got to rank 56 on ladder, only issue was against hard TR
New [Gen 9] Ubers RMT @lime prairie, @steep tulip, @crude turtle, @twilit quiver, @cinder fox. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
hard tr isnt real dw
so looks fine for the most part, i dont really like flutter or tr ndm at all tho tbh
and you also dont need kb + ground
i'd personally make it like
zac > kb, etern > flutter, and smth like caly ice > ndm
and lo korai > dice
ngl i kinda wanna keep kyub cuz i was building around it
we can do that too
firstly i'd make the groundy into a cm arc instead
ground works fine
etern > flutter and calyi > ndm
also change the kyub to max speed adamant
is ice beam really worth
scarf lando is kinda annoying in general
on groundy
yes
yea but taunt is more worth i think
max max?
taunt groundy sucks
tho ur running ho so its not mandatory
is it?
damn its been a while since i played
ye girao is nowhere on ladder and it folds into the rest of the team anyways
not really sure if agility or 3a lo etern would be better here
leaning towards the latter
max attack max speed yea
adamant
n you want agility fs
4a etern also sucks hard
yea 4a is not good
nduber pilled 💔
all out attacker highly prefers recover
also
make korai lo
yes you have kyub but kyub cant get through stall on its own, wallceus can get in its way
lo korai is more effective at punishing physdef arcs which kyub struggles with
https://pokepast.es/4a6d9f0e392dbb68 @cinder fox
alr
sd lowkick/cc scale ihead
lo korai was significantly less optimized back then

FIRE

More standard stuff
why that spread on koraidon
To be as bulky as possible while being fast enough to outspeed scarf base 90s
what do u need bulk for
Can never be too save
Ye it survives
1 brave bird
After rocks and spike
It's not
its just gonna get burned
If it's the last mon alive facing a ho oh
252+ Atk Ho-Oh Brave Bird vs. 244 HP / 4 Def Koraidon: 380-450 (94.5 - 111.9%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
None runs offensive ho oh
?
It's for Uber opens not ladder
people still use offensive hooh
And why should I go
Max speed
Timid
Bee is never getting webs up on a giratina origin and webs really just makes eterntaus match up awkward
ur slower than +2 ndm
that surely loses 1v1
it just clicks eq
+2 252+ Atk Necrozma-Dusk-Mane Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Prism Armor Necrozma-Dusk-Mane: 252-297 (63.3 - 74.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
4 Atk Necrozma-Dusk-Mane Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Prism Armor Necrozma-Dusk-Mane: 130-154 (38.8 - 45.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Emergency tera or giratina origins can dtail w tera steel
Oh yea
Ig that's a awkward matchup
Iam not really that worried about mane I feel like I have enough checks to deny it from going +2 and koraidon ain't a valid offensive check considering all manes run tera fire
But eh uk what imma make it timid
Anyway
Outspeeding dd mons is good ig
theres lots of issues here
lots of these sets have problems. korai has no reason to be running bulk, ndm is absolutely terrible without a boosting move, mono ghost girao is also really bad (especially physical girao)
you have no breaker outside of specs kyogre, ndm in general doesnt fit here, and this gets giga smashed by breakers like enemy ogre and lo korai
the mons might be common but the team with these sets just has so many problems
so i'd say using a sample is best
Koraidon can run bulk
But not like this much unless you are building something really special or specific
The most I would go is 56 Hp for uninvested dynamax cannon and maybe also 72 defense to also live +2 Tera normal extreme speed
how is this? https://pokepast.es/8899390a57093eb2

Webs might be a difficult MU for you if it’s scarf bee
There are ways to deal with ditto, one option for you is to use substitute zacian, but if you can’t keep the sub up you will be cooked. Another method however…
You can use calm mind + focus blast arceus-ghost with power gem and Tera stellar
Ghostceus self improofs with judgment and focus blast, while power gem isn’t gonna do shit.
Can also use demon fairyceus
As a win con aganist other hos, defensive pivot
Also beats ditto

I prefer drill>treads for rock tomb
i need help making a balance team with fairyceus
What set? Also wrong channel.
Looks fine
Drill - deo s
If u don't wanna fold to webs
Bee 1v1s u and gets up webs
I think rock tomb into spin kos bee, and bee can’t KO you back really

Cooked by webs
bro u gotta stop replying to every ho with cooked by webs
that's like part of the reason why webs is run and why webs is good
I think any good non webs HO needs some sort of webs counterplay since it is so good, especially on ladder where people spam webs even more, so an HO team without fast taunt or any way to get rid of webs isn’t gonna be so great, whether it be pagos, ditto, hdb / clam korai…
Or glim as the lead
Instead of no taunt Deo-A
Explain how they're able to do that in your first comment rather than just saying cooked by webs. That is just dismissive and offers nothing in the way of constructive criticism.
It isn't like it is a team with 1-2 viable mons with a bunch of RU filler
taunt Arceus lead if ribombee
arceus doesn't mind stun spore
They are just gonna click webs first no matter what, unless it’s not sash, which is a less common set.
If they could get up webs that’s all they really need.
Yeah, I probably should have said what I said above in the first comment, my bad then.
nvm just remembered that ribombee is faster
yeah taunt would be a good idea
Just make sure you can retain offensive pressure as Deo faints
taunt deoa is ok but scarf bee will still get webs on you
Another possibility is also sub on Zac
not sure if i agree with that as the primary webs counterplay
It isn’t, it’s an add on for a little more insurance.
Since good players would know that it’s gonna sub if they are leading Zac turn 1
And even then quiver dance ribombee…
i think you could try boots/clear amulet koraidon and tera ghost kyogre
Ye, even without loaded dice koraidon can run scale shot
Tho I already mentioned hdb / clam above
Or if you are not feeling like no loaded dice scale shot (you need more hits with scale shot to one tap eternatus with it! But who’s staying in with eternatus without a Tera? Don’t do that unless you are the agency or sth.)
You can run flame charge cc wild charge
Or low kick
but TLDR
you want some bee counterplay, could be taunt deo (doesnt work on scarf bee, and you really cannot tell if a team is scarf or sash from preview.) sub zac (quiver dance bee bypasses that, but you can try trailblaze to beat quiver but alotta people are never gonna expect trailblaze, so they might just go stun spore instead of quiver.) clear amulet / hdb koraidon (Hdb lets koraidon switch in much more easily, blocks the crippling toxic spikes and hazard chip and webs, and hey, kingambit insurance. clear amulet also blocks webs speed drop, in addition to blocking landorus's intimidate but provides no spikes and rocks protection.) ditto, (does not fit on ALL structures, and isnt all that good outside of HO mirrors, oh yeah and cm ghostceus self improofs versus that.) terapagos (Oh hey! new HO mirror tech! blocks lunala ghostceus from having too much fun, has rapid spin, phasing, toxic for things that might like coming in to block spin like the aformentioned ghostceus and lunala, ting lu and more! perfect set of tools for these pesky mirrors.)
oh yeah and it also provides rocks support, say goodbye to weird low ladder sash users.
@clever bobcat
and ice rider, haven't seen that dude in a while.
TLDR
paragraph
thank you i will keep all of this in mind
lost my mind for a sec there sorryyyy
paragraph response go brrrrrr, wonder where did he get that habit from?
yeah just remember that it is very important to prep for the HO mirrors these days, and who know what kinda random BS would you encounter on the ladder!
like an arceus-fairy pulling a random fire blast outta their arse
Or sub tera ice kyogre 
Or ogerporn wellspring
Makes the stall mathchup pretty weird
https://pokepast.es/7ab299ae342c99e4 i feel like i could improve but whenever i switch moves on some mons i feel even more limited, not sure why
New [Gen 9] Ubers RMT @lime prairie, @steep tulip, @crude turtle, @twilit quiver, @cinder fox. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
I think you just have to commit to a single playstyle. As it is this is kinda a mix of hyper offense and balance, which usually doesn’t work that well since your mons don’t have the right synergy
Like the trick room sweepers, sash deo a, and sd koraidon all match for hyper offense then giratina and fairyceus kinda take away from it a bit
Fairyceus on HO is fine just taunt isn’t as effective when not on webs
would dropping giratina for someone like zacian be better since i'm mostly going for HO anyway?
You can do that or if you go lunala you keep the spinblocker
Which would help since you should put hazards on the deo
Either make it deo s and normal HO lead or you can keep it as attack w stealth rock it’s just not as good of a mon

in regards to the team itself tho, none of these mons are even remotely viable in ubers except arceus-ground who has a bad set
so you'd be better off using a sample

with something like this you'd want to just commit to full stall
throwing on a kyogre and koraidon limit what those bulky mons can do for your team

Getting back into ubers after a few months, this team got me to around top 10 on ladder (peaked at #4 iirc), im currently hanging around 1600s
Thoughts on what i can change/replace? If anything
Basically just trying to see if its still good for current meta
1>2 and ur team looks pretty good
Why the evs on Giratina btw ?
My only suggestion would be to make it specs ogre
Instead of pao
I honestly dont even remember lol, i made them quite a while ago
Why ogre?
For better breaking potential
Chien Pao really needs atleast 2 slow pivot to do anything
Ho oh mathchup is also kinda weird with ur current team as nothing can really 1v1 it unless u get really lucky with stone edge and sf don't burn
Sacred sword over sucker punch imo, you might wanna be able to do some better damage to Zac that way.
And I don’t like running double priority moves.
scarf kyogre > pao/zac and spdef etern > ho-oh imo
and make it sd korai
put rocks on lando
alternatively you could use cm twave ogre and scarf lando
- twave rocks fairy and smth like lo korai and lo etern
original version of this team is super webs weak which is a huge no-no
team w my changes
Ive been seeing an uptick in flamecharge korai usage on ladder, is that something worth considering?
yea but its more than manageable w rain fairy lando
if you mean on this team i wouldnt use flame charge personally
you need all the power you can get on korai considering thats the primary breaker
Also isnt rain + fire blast on etern kinda 
Hmm okay
it would be on a spdef etern but its still strong enough on lo
Would wisp>twave be better on fairyceus
you want twave
For something like gambit
Lando isnt a defensive set though, and gambits always at its worst when its last mon so roar isnt good into it lategame
you also have enough bulk to eat it
if you're that worried about it you can throw tera fairy on ogre
but gambit in general has kinda fallen off nowadays
so idt its that necessary
u can also go tera ghost on girao iyw
I prefer tera steel as insurance against caly or ndm
Though i guess the former isnt as big an issue anymore cuz ogre
thats fine asw
again thats more personal preference
@frigid palm other option is
tera electric trailblaze zac > etern
what that does is make enemy ogre ice beam not only not riskless
but incredibly risky
so you have an easier time playing around it
also nice stallbreaker, ESPECIALLY alongside lo korai
Thats real??
its very real and very good
I played it like once but just assumed it was someone testing
What does it run
Sd tblaze bblade wc?
yes i noticed
And ran into default0 on the first game 
latter
Ah alr
its v good vs ho bc
you can just lead it into bee or deos
tera and tb t1
and they really cant stop you, esp cuz you're immune to para
even if deos taunts you t1 they still cannot get hazards
and if they dont taunt, u can sd when speed boosted and potentially win off rip
you needed insurance vs webs/ho and ogre's ice beam while still being a breaker and tera electric tb zac fits the bill
yeah i figured
i would kinda miss lo etern though
you wouldnt
cuz id have no special offense if i swap to zac
you have a whole cm ogre
New [Gen 9] Ubers RMT @lime prairie, @steep tulip, @crude turtle, @twilit quiver, @cinder fox. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
You put evs into atk not spa on deos
rayquaza and flutter mane are not good mons and i wouldnt recommend using either. i also cant help but notice you have no arc
drain punch korai is also not good
just make korai standard tera fire dice scale, rayquaza into dd arc ground (with ice beam) and flutter into fast cm lunala
It has seen some use on some tournament games, but I don’t think this is the structure
its just standard dd arcground but with ice beam in the last slot
dd eq stone edge ice beam
also use spikes > rocks on deos, rocks does p much nothing for ho that spikes dont
just max spa max speed timid
cm 3a tera fairy
change the deos set as well to rocky helmet with special attack invest
team w my changes
oh wait
fire blast > flame on etern
k
it should also be spikes > rocks on deos mb
the spread on deos outspeeds scarf ogre and is favored to ohko korai w psycho boost
and it always survives etern's mbeam too, which is unintended but still nice
thanks
I would personally go with more speed on Etern to outpace stuff like max ada groundy, but that’s just personal
https://pokepast.es/e8cd4a5c412b5f4a what should i change?

Tell me ur a vgc player without telling me ur a vgc player
For starters
Calyrex shadow rider is banned
And idk about incin and among or those specific sets
wrong channel this is definitely a VGC team
With 3 restricteds?
Assault vest ndm 😭🙏
As we all know I'm horrible at making teams but is this good? Not really anything specific. https://pokepast.es/b17ddfe44004f640
ngl judging by the sets i think ur bad at pokemon in general let alone ubers cuz uhhh
physical iron bundle 
don't flame them for being new
Yeah but it handles well
50% the time 
Is volcarona good? heh...
and one of the rest is like decent
no, Volcarona is not good in Ubers
gets bodied by the 90% usage mon
what if I get the quiver dances off?
u mean 2
ye i was gonna say surely fmane isnt that bad
but they also don't fit on the same team
true
You still get walled by it
it's just not worth
shucks
especially when you have access to other threats in Ubers that are just more threatening
Well any tips? No diabolical roasting
wait what one.
I think the best thing to do would be to pick one of the good Pokemon that you've already chosen (Zacian, Flutter Mane, Arceus-Ghost) and build around that
hm
Might build around flutter mane but that's what I struggle on
I physically can't build a team that helps one singular mon
that's ok
They all have there ups and downs
teambuilding is the process of creating a team that aids the strengths and weaknesses of all of the team members
but you always have to start from somewhere
True
if I added a pokemon with BPass and a banded marshadow
would that do any help?
Preferably with swords dance also
and Baton Pass is banned in SV Ubers
I'm used to gen 7
Lunala is pretty solid
I'm in LOVE with gen 7
you could definitely build around it
I was about to say that building around Lunala would be more successful than trying to build around Flutter Mane
Misty Terrain?
Misty Terrain does not power up Fairy-type moves
could do psychic terrain
and Tapu Lele has Psychic Terrain, not Misty Terrain
not to mention this fact
why not try and build Gen 7 OU then?
Lunala is not legal there, but all of the Tapus are
I don't really like ou much
one sec
js a concept
for sv ubers lunala
ik confuse ray is in usually useless but it could have it's uses
fairy terra for the obvious quad dark weakness on lunala
now i js
gotta build around it
97 isn't the fastest
still fast tho
man... why world. why. I wanna use my goat ferro
This set is not it
but boots lunala is pretty solid
Boots Lunala is an Agility sweeper on offensive or hyper offensive teams
u can always try national dex ou
js added alolan muk for mainly js to annoy
indeedee for a reason you'll see
also
....
how do you annoy with Alolan Muk in Ubers?
not that
they said annoy indeedee neither of which are viable
good point one sec

uh
idt u understand how to make a set
Toxic Orb?
Just use the samples pls
yeah I'm just gonna redirect you to samples
2nd link
but the ideas you've made don't set yourself up to learn the metagame well
Alolan Muk is not viable in Ubers
and the set you've made for Lunala is suboptimal
u wanna make teams but u dont understand what makes a team good for the meta so u just end up making baloney
samples at least teach u whats viable, how to use viable mons together, and how to overcome weaknesses in play or building
building straight from scratch never works
ill js send the link when I'm finished
Hopefully it's better than physical iron bundle and psybeam mane
shh
nobody needs to know
also indeedee will js be a fodder mon for lunala
replaced muk with magearna
Then don't ask them to be rated 😭😭
Scratched the previous team and js did what felt right. magearna IS viable!! https://pokepast.es/3e2f720a143f15aa
No one is telling you that you can't use it. People are telling you it is a bad team. There is a big difference. If you want to try and build around a fringe viable mon people will help you, but if you insist on using unviable mons people won't
There are generations of Ubers where it is good, unfortunately SV is not one of them
But it js swiped a team-
kk I won't argue
is the new team an improvement at least?
I haven't seen the old one and only have a surface level understanding of SV Ubers and even I can pretty plainly see this isn't a viable team
.
For all the reasons the actual Ubers raters such as tbolt mentioned earlier
awh shucks
I've never actually
tried making a team outside of gen 7
so it's kinda hard
flutter sucks icl
I don't watch tournaments i js throw teams together and hope for the best
Tbolt recommended you use the samples for a reason. If you don't know a meta game you can't really build for it. Sample teams are vetted and made in part for people in your situation. Use those until you learn the metagame a bit and then try building your own stuff
some times they're decent
So I look at the samples
get an understanding
and sprout from there?
Yes, pick one you like and hit the ladder
get an understanding of the meta as a whole before trying to build yourself
Any small chance I could improve
I mainly make gen 7 ag teams
it takes a lot of practice
dont just blindly jump into teambuilding, it will get you nowhere
Before I played Us/Um I was worse than I am now. Completing that game, beating red and blue has helped improve ALOT

You have shown repeatedly you are not willing to listen to the advice that people are giving you which makes people less willing to help you. Everyone here is a volunteer. From my perspective you're looking for validation about your original team rather than genuinely looking for advice
In-game isn't exactly gonna help with competitive
yea
but it has improved me abit
Ppl say ultra necrozma was hard and i gotta disagree
also
imma go read the samples now
again competitive is completely different from ingame play, and theres much more you need to learn. just check out the tier resources and get familiar with the tier from a sample before trying to build yourself
I see the specs kyogre team and the girantina with poltergeist and grisceous orb
doesn't it fail?
I tried it before
no?
on a previous girantina and it js failed
polter only fails if the opponent doesnt have an item

idk if I understood
but here's a team
could be good
most likely bad
oh hold up I'm missing a mon 💀
accidentally deleted one
- You can't have both Deo A and Deo D because of species clause
- Only two of the Pokemon you've chosen are viable in the metagame
If you want to build a team from scratch, we can move to #comp-general or #comp-general-2 and walk through that process
oh
awh shucks
I've read species I still don't understand what is and what isn't viable in metagame
or even know what metagame means
So metagame refers to the group of Pokemon and strategies that are good
The Ubers player base actually has listed the Pokemon that are good and the ones that are bad
If I don't follow metagame am I not allowed to use a team? I'm not tryna sound rude.
In the Viability Rankings (first link)
If you aren't trying to win, then we don't have any reason to help you
I've used uber mons yes also some non uber mons
They mix well and/or counter metagame mons
picked barraskewda for TTar/Ho-Oh
psychic fangs for koraidon
None of these Pokemon on any of the teams you picked switch into Koraidon
and crunch for lunala
So what will end up happening is that Koraidon will enter, take a KO, you switch in your check, and Korai will switch out and you will do 30 in return
I js needed a fast water fodder
Or it will set up on you and you will lose the game
so switch barraskewda for kyogre or something?
This team needs a lot more work than just switching out one Pokemon
yea I figured
I looked at samples
Played a few games with fodder mons
realised people use the same teams as samples
or a pokemon from them
That is kind of the point of samples
Mixed?
You have both physical and special attacks

This is a list of what are the good and bad Pokemon in SV Ubers

(amazing art by Fusion Flare)
Hello all! Here's our second viability rankings thread to represent the post-home metagame.
This is a list of the seventy-two viable Pokemon in SV Ubers, sorted top-to-bottom from most to least viable.
Thread Rules
- Post intelligently. One-liners saying things...
I js realised I had calm mind on a physical Deo A
😭😭
It doesn't really matter
Deo A isn't supposed to set up anyway
Deo A is a Pokemon that's good at mixed attacking because its attacking stats are so high
I think I've made it better?
wow the only thing that's coherent on this team is the Kyogre
Dialga Origin is not viable
shucks
Removing cyclizar
I have no use for it now anyways
Tbolt
why's annihilape in ubers btw
because it was banned from OU
Pokemon that are in Ubers are not necessarily viable in Ubers
and vice-versa; Pokemon that are not in Ubers are not necessarily unviable in Ubers
I'm confused with beads of ruin
Think of it as a free 33% Special Attack boost for Chi-Yu
nope, it's the opposite
You can multiply by a decimal and get a value that is less than the original
multiplying 300 Special Defense by 0.75 gives you 225 Special Defense
would Chi-Yu be viable? I kinda need his typings
Viability rankings link isn't loading
it's strong, yes, but there are other Ubers Pokemon that are strong while also being much much faster
nvm js loaded
kk
What if I... used ditto to troll? 
there are worse ideas
but I believe you would need to build a defensive team to support it
because Ditto itself cannot switch into anything
or Diancie
shucks my goat volcarona is d tier
would having 2 choice items be alr?
Chien-Pao choice band could be nice
depends on the team
In general, B-tier Pokemon and below have to be built around instead of being slapped onto a team
if they're offensive Pokemon
ah
hm
I have Deo A so eh
Makes chien useless
what if i js use skill swap ribombee with honey gather so I'm trading nothing for something
You would rather have Shield Dust
How so?
wouldn't giving them nothing be better?
- You're not really using Skill Swap on Ribombee
- It lets it not worry about stuff like Ho-Oh using Sacred Fire in the lead position
You should look at the Smogon Dex for the sets
and Ho-Oh doesn't fit on Sticky Web
I didn't uh put sticky on it
that is Ribombee's only role in Ubers
deoa and groundy sets make absolutely no sense, specs ogre and defensive ho-oh are not webs mons, and bee and zac teras make no sense
https://pokepast.es/98f94f2354787a7e
I hate scale shot missing
Also, am I building life orb koraidon correctly here? I feel like without Tera electric I dunno how to get through stall.
New [Gen 9] Ubers RMT @lime prairie, @steep tulip, @crude turtle, @twilit quiver, @cinder fox. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
I think I could definitely use substitute Zac over this set but the set is kinda just filler for the team anyways
I’ve liked Kyurem black in the slot of zacian for anti cheese purposes but ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Bulldoze arceus-ground 😭
You should go look in smogdex for better sets
shhh
Only other physical ground move except the other one i forgot
And you don’t need Tera fighting on Zac if you are not running CC anyways
forgot rock types exist lowk
It's actually came in useful
Turning a supereffective hit into a neutral hit or sth?
ye
would've been DEAD by these damn GROUND TYPES
- most ground types use rock type moves also
You one shot most mons after a boost anyways
And you are not supposed to 1v1 groundceus anyways
And landorus doesn’t always run rock tomb
And even then why are you tryna set up in front of it on switching in
who says I was fighting landorus?
Groundceus?
nope
Gliscor?
still annoying if used right
At that point if you really wanna beat it you can use sub Tera steel zacian
Tera steel behemoth blade should KO after a swords dance unless they are max physdef
Bump.
I'm sure deo-a excellent defensive profile lets it set up with multiple calm minds
On a set with only physical attacks 🔥🔥
gng
I SAW MY MISTAKE
😭
I'm doing Deo-S with choice scarf trustt
Not to mention groundceus with both eq and judgment
Heh
That's also bad
Sigima
It was sarcasm
Assualt vest barreskewda is like the worst set of all time
barreskewda was added for fodder
That also isn't my final team..
What is it then
finding it
And something else for ho-oh
Swords dance, dragon dance
ah alr
Also cc>crunch on zacian
I'm p sure theres a bee sample
U can also use that if u want
not adding on sd to korai bc it's scarfed
Change the set to the sd one 😭
HMM
so
@drifting pond here is where you can get a set for SD Korai

imma js assuming rmt=randomised team
Rmt = rate my team
kyogre and hooh do not fit on webs and groundy shouldnt be rocks
ribombee and zacian teras also make no sense
before i added dd it was roar rocks
zacian I forgot tp change
I js picked a random terra for ribombee
bc it's js gonna
sticky web then die
might make zacian terra water or flying
the set is fine but kyogre itself has no reason to be on this team
?
specs ogre just doesnt work on webs structures
it completely flubs into opposing ho which is the biggest problem for webs
Right
instead of kyogre
Is there any merit in that cm boots set
not that shitty agility set
Oh lmao
Understandable
just 252 spatk 252 speed 4 defense timid
boots
cm moongeist psyshock moonblast w tera fairy
replace ogre with that
then replace ho-oh with lo etern
on groundceus, ice beam > rocks and tera water > flying
tera fire > fighting on zac, tera ghost > bug on bee
lo?
life orb
kk
just the dex set
Ew, shiny zacian??
Shiny Zacian is nice
50/50 this is good or bad
forgot kyogers terra
hol up
k pretend it's fairy
heh
there is some good and some bad here
Mewtwo is not it
I think Koraidon would be better served by being Scarf
and Knock Off NDM is kinda eh
js using mewtwo since it's fun for me
- koraidon and land T bc it says they compliment mewtwo
Toxic orb on the steel type

feel like you want Eternatus here so that you can switch into Kyogre
probably that over Mewtwo
and then a Trick Room NDM so that you have a Pokemon that isn't afraid of Webs
forgot
abt
that
I removed the orb added smth else I forgot
Bump again
hun
But ndm
oh wrd
Set isn't valid
Facade is kinda useless
Because of no stab
I prefer dd or sd over it
Dragon dance/ swords dance
This fire
Although iam not the biggest fan of the koraidon set
New [Gen 9] Ubers RMT @lime prairie, @steep tulip, @crude turtle, @twilit quiver, @cinder fox. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
Ehh u like to go with earth quake and photongyser
bc it's so slow
Got kyogre for that
Kyogre specially specs ogre ain't a valid ho oh check cause it gets 2 hkoed
By brave bird
And opposing koraidon can use it as setup fodder if it goes for water spout
could change its terra to rock or electric
I think u always run photongyser and eq
Instead of sunsteel strike
On tr ndm
Cause if u set up tr and they bring in a ho oh
Ho oh would actually 1v1 ur Kyogre
Because of tr
replaced morning with photon
Ho oh would be faster
Yes
I could
Best set is
Sd
Photon
Eq
Tr
With weakness policy
eh
On ho teams it's a good anti ho mon
But since ur running bulky offense
U can go for a more consistent item instead of weakness policy
Either heavy duty boots or leftovers to avoid ohko from +3 cc bb + close combat
I could give it blunder policy then remove tr with stone edge
so it's a near guaranteed speed boost
then swipe with a few photons depending on their team
only problems with that would be etern and gambit that Land-T covers type wise
Lando t
Is a horrible
Check to eterntaus
Just use ting lu
Only type wise not saying I'd switch land-t into an etern
