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 : )

#

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

blissful finch
#

OK, thanks so much for the feedback! All good otherwise?

median geyser
#

U can replace giratina origins

#

With koraidon since u have a ditto

#

Webs isn't a problem

blissful finch
#

Yh that makes sense. Is hazard stack/webs def not an issue? Won't Koraidon need speed still?

scarf taunt?

cinder fox
median geyser
#

Dosent my team become weak to zac

#

Without dirge

cinder fox
#

dirge does not fit here

#

at all

#

you're a specs ogre scale korai bo

#

shouldnt be using momentum sinks like dirge

median geyser
#

Alright

#

So what do I replace dirge with ho oh ?

rose cargo
#

I think you might have to deal with zac via scarf lando

cinder fox
#

i would say go girao ho-oh > dirge ting

#

and go lo korai > dice

#

reason is bc you want a secondary breaker alongside ogre

median geyser
rose cargo
#

Im thinking flame charge wild low kick buuuut idk

median geyser
#

Scale shot flame charge cc looses to arc fairy

cinder fox
#

sd low kick dclaw flame charge is fine

median geyser
#

Basically can't touch it

cinder fox
#

u use tera fire

#

every time

median geyser
#

Isn't ho oh passive asw

#

Wouldn't that sink momentum

cinder fox
#

no

jagged tartan
#

Less so compared to Dirge because it has Whirlwind

cinder fox
#

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

median geyser
#

Okay

cinder fox
#

also. go twave on gira. not wisp

#

gives more opportunities to korai and ogre

median geyser
#

Appreciate the help

cinder fox
#

one more thing

#

go max defense on fairy

#

and drop speed to 16

#

fairy's p much your most relied-korai scale sponge

median geyser
#

Can I keep lu

#

For eternatus

#

I feel like it will be kinda hard to defensively answer

cinder fox
#

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

rose cargo
#

lorb etern could still break with sludge bomb poison into dynamax cannons, but this is good enough IG

cinder fox
#

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

It has a pretty good matchup

#

Into current Ubers meta it can spam

#

Moonblast

Hooh is pretty popular no

#

Also gets ekillered

Oh right

#

Thinking of ag

median geyser
#

Eh in ag

#

Caly shadow is infinitely

#

Better

oblique wyvern
#

I feel like smth like ghostceus could abuse screens more

median geyser
#

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

eternal scaffold
#

and the idea is to have it under sun most of the time to take advantage of proto speed

cinder fox
#

hard tr isnt real dw

cinder fox
#

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

honest sand
cinder fox
#

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

honest sand
#

scarf lando is kinda annoying in general

frigid palm
#

on groundy

cinder fox
#

yes

frigid palm
#

yea but taunt is more worth i think

honest sand

tho ur running ho so its not mandatory

is it?

#

damn its been a while since i played

honest sand
#

ye girao is nowhere on ladder and it folds into the rest of the team anyways

cinder fox
#

phys spam really values killing landot quickly

#

esp when using zac

frigid palm
#

not really sure if agility or 3a lo etern would be better here

#

leaning towards the latter

honest sand
#

i was thinking just 4a mbeam with tera fairy

#

u have screens idt u rlly need agility

cinder fox
#

adamant

#

n you want agility fs

#

4a etern also sucks hard

frigid palm
#

yea 4a is not good

honest sand
#

nduber pilled 💔

frigid palm
#

all out attacker highly prefers recover

cinder fox
#

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

why is korai even switching into hooh

It's not

its just gonna get burned

If it's the last mon alive facing a ho oh

honest sand

252+ Atk Ho-Oh Brave Bird vs. 244 HP / 4 Def Koraidon: 380-450 (94.5 - 111.9%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO

honest sand
#

?

median geyser
#

It's for Uber opens not ladder

honest sand
#

people still use offensive hooh

median geyser
#

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

honest sand
median geyser
#

For a reason

honest sand
#

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

honest sand
#

ur not dtail

#

ur sneak

median geyser
#

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

cinder fox
#

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

rose cargo
#

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

You can use calm mind + focus blast arceus-ghost with power gem and Tera stellar

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

rose cargo
#

Or glim as the lead

#

Instead of no taunt Deo-A

stark cloud
#

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

clever bobcat
#

arceus doesn't mind stun spore

rose cargo
#

If they could get up webs that’s all they really need.

rose cargo
clever bobcat
#

yeah taunt would be a good idea

rose cargo
#

Just make sure you can retain offensive pressure as Deo faints

lost sable
#

taunt deoa is ok but scarf bee will still get webs on you

rose cargo
#

Another possibility is also sub on Zac

lost sable
#

not sure if i agree with that as the primary webs counterplay

rose cargo
#

Since good players would know that it’s gonna sub if they are leading Zac turn 1

#

And even then quiver dance ribombee…

lost sable
#

i think you could try boots/clear amulet koraidon and tera ghost kyogre

rose cargo
#

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.

#

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!

lime prairie
#

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

fast sparrow
#

would dropping giratina for someone like zacian be better since i'm mostly going for HO anyway?

lime prairie
#

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

median geyser
#

Why the evs on Giratina btw ?

#

My only suggestion would be to make it specs ogre

#

Instead of pao

frigid palm
frigid palm
median geyser
#

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

rose cargo
#

And I don’t like running double priority moves.

frigid palm
#

Yeah i dont really ever click sucker tbf

#

Its mostly for like

#

Tera ghost scaledon

cinder fox
#

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

frigid palm
cinder fox
#

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

frigid palm
#

Also isnt rain + fire blast on etern kinda death

cinder fox
frigid palm
#

Would wisp>twave be better on fairyceus

cinder fox
#

you want twave

frigid palm
#

For something like gambit

cinder fox
#

you already have korai lando and roar fairy

#

gambits not a worry

frigid palm
#

Lando isnt a defensive set though, and gambits always at its worst when its last mon so roar isnt good into it lategame

cinder fox
#

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

frigid palm
#

Though i guess the former isnt as big an issue anymore cuz ogre

cinder fox
#

again thats more personal preference

cinder fox
#

@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

frigid palm
cinder fox
#

its very real and very good

#

And ran into default0 on the first game PensiveAF

frigid palm
#

Or were you spectating default0

cinder fox
#

latter

frigid palm
#

Ah alr

cinder fox
#

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

#

you wouldnt

oops

#

what else?

#

hey oreo! 😄

cinder fox
#

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

rose cargo
#

It has seen some use on some tournament games, but I don’t think this is the structure

scenic mantle
#

do you have an arceus set with that?

#

and a set for lunala to

#

too*

cinder fox
#

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

scenic mantle
#

whats the lunala set?

#

@cinder fox

#

i need the lunala set

cinder fox
#

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

scenic mantle
#

k

cinder fox
#

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

scenic mantle
#

thanks

rose cargo
#

I would personally go with more speed on Etern to outpace stuff like max ada groundy, but that’s just personal

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

honest sand
#

wrong channel this is definitely a VGC team

carmine remnant
honest sand
#

errr

#

well ok it isnt then but then its definitely unviable

#

just use a sample team

median geyser
#

Assault vest ndm 😭🙏

drifting pond
jagged tartan
#

yeah this is just not good

#

which Pokemon are you trying to build around here?

honest sand
#

ngl judging by the sets i think ur bad at pokemon in general let alone ubers cuz uhhh

#

physical iron bundle nailbite

jagged tartan
#

don't flame them for being new

drifting pond
#

i js

#

spin a wheel of pokemon

#

then

#

:D

drifting pond
#

50% the time happy

jagged tartan
#

ok

#

so among the Pokemon you chose

#

only one of them is good

drifting pond
#

Is volcarona good? heh...

jagged tartan
#

and one of the rest is like decent

#

no, Volcarona is not good in Ubers

#

gets bodied by the 90% usage mon

drifting pond
#

what if I get the quiver dances off?

honest sand
jagged tartan
#

oh right

#

2

honest sand
#

ye i was gonna say surely fmane isnt that bad

jagged tartan
#

but they also don't fit on the same team

honest sand
#

true

jagged tartan
#

it's just not worth

drifting pond
jagged tartan
#

especially when you have access to other threats in Ubers that are just more threatening

honest sand
#

ho-oh and giratina-o completely hard wall u

#

oh and eternatus

drifting pond
#

Well any tips? No diabolical roasting

drifting pond
jagged tartan
#

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

drifting pond
#

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

jagged tartan
#

that's ok

drifting pond
#

They all have there ups and downs

jagged tartan
#

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

drifting pond
#

True

#

if I added a pokemon with BPass and a banded marshadow

#

would that do any help?

drifting pond
jagged tartan
#

Marshadow is not in SV

#

so you cannot use it

drifting pond
#

oh yeah

#

shucks

jagged tartan
#

and Baton Pass is banned in SV Ubers

drifting pond
#

I'm used to gen 7

drifting pond
#

hm

#

Lunala team?

jagged tartan
#

Lunala is pretty solid

drifting pond
#

I'm in LOVE with gen 7

jagged tartan
#

you could definitely build around it

drifting pond
#

I could

#

maybe

#

hm

#

Tape Lele in sv ubers?

jagged tartan
#

Lunala has a couple of pretty good sets

#

Tapu Lele is not in SV

drifting pond
#

I'm thinking off

#

whats it called

#

one sec

jagged tartan
#

I was about to say that building around Lunala would be more successful than trying to build around Flutter Mane

drifting pond
#

fairy room or uh the field

#

for moonblast

jagged tartan
#

Misty Terrain?

drifting pond
#

yea

#

Thats why I wanted lele

jagged tartan
#

Misty Terrain does not power up Fairy-type moves

drifting pond
#

could do psychic terrain

jagged tartan
#

and Tapu Lele has Psychic Terrain, not Misty Terrain

jagged tartan
drifting pond
#

I saw

#

I'm js addicted to gen 7

jagged tartan
#

why not try and build Gen 7 OU then?

#

Lunala is not legal there, but all of the Tapus are

drifting pond
#

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

jagged tartan
#

This set is not it

#

but boots lunala is pretty solid

#

Boots Lunala is an Agility sweeper on offensive or hyper offensive teams

honest sand
drifting pond
#

js added alolan muk for mainly js to annoy

#

indeedee for a reason you'll see

#

also

jagged tartan
#

Isn't Moody banned in Ubers

#

wait I'm thinking of a VGC thing

honest sand
#

....

drifting pond
#

hehehe

jagged tartan
#

how do you annoy with Alolan Muk in Ubers?

drifting pond
#

not that

honest sand
#

they said annoy indeedee neither of which are viable

drifting pond
honest sand
drifting pond
#

wait

#

accidentally did atk

jagged tartan
#

uh

honest sand
#

idt u understand how to make a set

jagged tartan
#

Toxic Orb?

drifting pond
#

updated muk and lunala

carmine remnant
jagged tartan
#

yeah I'm just gonna redirect you to samples

jagged tartan
#

2nd link

drifting pond
#

I don't use samples bc i wanna make my own

#

team

jagged tartan
#

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

honest sand
#

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

drifting pond
#

ill js send the link when I'm finished

carmine remnant
#

Hopefully it's better than physical iron bundle and psybeam mane

drifting pond
#

nobody needs to know

#

also indeedee will js be a fodder mon for lunala

#

replaced muk with magearna

carmine remnant
#

Would you look at that

#

Another unviable mon

drifting pond
#

dang my whole team has psychic or fairy type😭

#

Js

#

if it's legal lemme use it

carmine remnant
#

Then don't ask them to be rated 😭😭

drifting pond
stark cloud
#

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

drifting pond
#

magearna is goated

#

just

#

slap a nice item on and ur good

stark cloud
#

There are generations of Ubers where it is good, unfortunately SV is not one of them

drifting pond
#

kk I won't argue

drifting pond
stark cloud
#

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

stark cloud
#

For all the reasons the actual Ubers raters such as tbolt mentioned earlier

drifting pond
#

I've never actually

#

tried making a team outside of gen 7

#

so it's kinda hard

cinder fox
drifting pond
#

I don't watch tournaments i js throw teams together and hope for the best

stark cloud
#

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

drifting pond
#

some times they're decent

drifting pond
#

get an understanding

#

and sprout from there?

stark cloud
#

Yes, pick one you like and hit the ladder

cinder fox
#

get an understanding of the meta as a whole before trying to build yourself

drifting pond
#

Any small chance I could improve

cinder fox
#

whats good, whats bad, etc

#

what strategies work, why they work, etc

drifting pond
#

I mainly make gen 7 ag teams

cinder fox
#

it takes a lot of practice

#

dont just blindly jump into teambuilding, it will get you nowhere

drifting pond
#

Before I played Us/Um I was worse than I am now. Completing that game, beating red and blue has helped improve ALOT

carmine remnant
stark cloud
#

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

carmine remnant
#

In-game isn't exactly gonna help with competitive

drifting pond
#

but it has improved me abit

#

Ppl say ultra necrozma was hard and i gotta disagree

#

also

#

imma go read the samples now

cinder fox
#

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

drifting pond
#

doesn't it fail?

#

I tried it before

cinder fox
#

no?

drifting pond
#

on a previous girantina and it js failed

cinder fox
#

polter only fails if the opponent doesnt have an item

drifting pond
#

oh

#

I've read it wrong then

#

heh

#

I see an idea ig

#

I could try something

honest sand
drifting pond
#

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

jagged tartan
#

If you want to build a team from scratch, we can move to #comp-general or #comp-general-2 and walk through that process

drifting pond
#

or even know what metagame means

jagged tartan
#

The Ubers player base actually has listed the Pokemon that are good and the ones that are bad

drifting pond
#

If I don't follow metagame am I not allowed to use a team? I'm not tryna sound rude.

jagged tartan
jagged tartan
drifting pond
#

They mix well and/or counter metagame mons

#

picked barraskewda for TTar/Ho-Oh

#

psychic fangs for koraidon

jagged tartan
#

None of these Pokemon on any of the teams you picked switch into Koraidon

drifting pond
#

and crunch for lunala

jagged tartan
#

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

drifting pond
#

I js needed a fast water fodder

jagged tartan
#

Or it will set up on you and you will lose the game

drifting pond
jagged tartan
#

This team needs a lot more work than just switching out one Pokemon

drifting pond
#

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

jagged tartan
#

That is kind of the point of samples

drifting pond
#

then picked a counter

#

Groundceus for example

#

for eternatus

jagged tartan
#

But you have a mixed Arceus Ground

#

You don't need a mixed Arceus Ground

drifting pond
#

Mixed?

jagged tartan
#

You have both physical and special attacks

drifting pond
#

so focus on 1

#

Ok so

#

I'll go

#

update the team or sum

#

brb

jagged tartan
# drifting pond I've read species I still don't understand what is and what isn't viable in meta...

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

drifting pond
#

😭😭

jagged tartan
#

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

jagged tartan
#

eh

#

sorta

#

like Cyclizar, Mewtwo, and Diancie are not it

drifting pond
#

Replaced set up moves on deo a

#

cyclizar is js a quick in and out

jagged tartan
#

wow the only thing that's coherent on this team is the Kyogre

drifting pond
#

realising i removed set up moves I'll remove it for something

#

maybe Origin Dialga

jagged tartan
#

Dialga Origin is not viable

drifting pond
#

shucks

jagged tartan
#

nor is Mewtwo or Diancie

#

nor Cyclizar

drifting pond
#

Removing cyclizar

#

I have no use for it now anyways

#

Tbolt

#

why's annihilape in ubers btw

jagged tartan
#

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

drifting pond
#

I'm confused with beads of ruin

jagged tartan
#

Think of it as a free 33% Special Attack boost for Chi-Yu

drifting pond
#

It says multiplied meaning increase

#

so

#

am I js

#

buffing my opps

jagged tartan
#

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

drifting pond
#

would Chi-Yu be viable? I kinda need his typings

jagged tartan
#

It's rated as C tier

#

so I would probably stay away from it

drifting pond
#

Viability rankings link isn't loading

jagged tartan
#

it's strong, yes, but there are other Ubers Pokemon that are strong while also being much much faster

drifting pond
#

nvm js loaded

drifting pond
#

What if I... used ditto to troll? tradeoffer

jagged tartan
#

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

drifting pond
#

heh

jagged tartan
#

or Diancie

drifting pond
#

shucks my goat volcarona is d tier

#

would having 2 choice items be alr?

#

Chien-Pao choice band could be nice

jagged tartan
#

depends on the team

drifting pond
#

uhh

#

might dump deo a

jagged tartan
#

In general, B-tier Pokemon and below have to be built around instead of being slapped onto a team

#

if they're offensive Pokemon

drifting pond
#

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

jagged tartan
#

You would rather have Shield Dust

drifting pond
#

wouldn't giving them nothing be better?

jagged tartan
#
  1. You're not really using Skill Swap on Ribombee
  2. It lets it not worry about stuff like Ho-Oh using Sacred Fire in the lead position
drifting pond
#

hm so

#

alr

#

replaced calm with quiver

#

js same but extra speed

jagged tartan
#

You should look at the Smogon Dex for the sets

#

and Ho-Oh doesn't fit on Sticky Web

drifting pond
#

I didn't uh put sticky on it

jagged tartan
#

that is Ribombee's only role in Ubers

drifting pond
#

kk

cinder fox
#

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

jagged tartan
#

and you're missing koraidon

#

which is on every offensive team

rose cargo
#

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.

rose cargo
#

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

  • koraidon and land T bc it says they compliment mewtwo
jagged tartan

uh

#

do you even need NDM here?

honest sand
jagged tartan
#

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

trick room

#

so scarf koraidons aren't a problem

#

also helps land-T

median geyser
drifting pond
#

bc it's so slow

median geyser
#

On tr sets

#

Cause ho oh

#

Infinity walls u

#

Otherwise

drifting pond
#

Got kyogre for that

median geyser
#

By brave bird

#

And opposing koraidon can use it as setup fodder if it goes for water spout

drifting pond
#

could change its terra to rock or electric

median geyser
#

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

drifting pond
#

replaced morning with photon

median geyser
#

Ho oh would be faster

median geyser
drifting pond
#

I could

median geyser
#

Best set is
Sd
Photon
Eq
Tr
With weakness policy

drifting pond
#

eh

median geyser
#

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

drifting pond
#

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

median geyser
#

Is a horrible

#

Check to eterntaus

#

Just use ting lu

drifting pond
#

Only type wise not saying I'd switch land-t into an etern
