Ok, so I'm attempting my first foray into the uber environment, and my team needs some serious help.
Latias (♀) @ Soul Dew
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6 HP/252 SAtk/252 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Wish
Works as something of a secondary special wall, Wish for team support. Heatran isn't as common in ubers so I see HP Fire + Dragon Pulse getting some coverage.

Groudon @ Choice Band
Ability: Drought
EVs: 128 HP/252 Atk/88 Def/40 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Shadow Claw
- Sleep Talk
Choice Band Groudon. Gave him some defensive EV since he can't take many special hits. Also works as a Sleep absorber for those annoying Darkrai.

Giratina @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 240 HP/200 Def/16 Spd/52 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Will-o-wisp
- Draco Meteor
- Heal Block
- Roar
Heal Block looks interesting, figured I'd give it a try. So far it hasn't helped much, apart from messing up one Blissey. A bit of speed there to outspeed other stuff for WoW.

Registeel @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP/6 SAtk/252 SDef
Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Explosion
- Thunder
- Curse
- Fire Punch
Special wall Registeel. This guy gets screwed over a lot by the common physical attackers in ubers, so I think I may need to replace him. The Steel type gives him a lot of resistances though, and Curse to fix up the lower Defence and hurt more with Fire Punch/Explosion. Thunder is mainly filler, although the paralysis against Kyogre would be nice.

Slaking (♂) @ Life Orb
Ability: Truant
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/6 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Night Slash
- Return
- Ice Punch
- Earthquake
Yeah, it's Slaking. He has the stats to do a lot of stuff in ubers, coming off that hefty attack. Gave him Life Orb for some attack variety, rather than CBing him. Never survives too long cos of the low SpDef.

Qwilfish (♂) @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Destiny Bond
- Explosion
- Waterfall
- Toxic Spikes
---
I always like to use different stuff, and Qwilfish is a real 'wtf' kind of guy. But surprisingly can work in ubers. Maxed speed in case of no rain, would catch a lot of stuff out with Explosion/Destiny Bond. Works as a great Kyogre counter with Destiny Bond too. Waterfall does some reasonably good damage, especially with rain support. Toxic Spikes are somewhat filler, since he never ususally gets chance to use em. However it's there if for some reason I have the time to set them up.
As you can see I don't fill my team with standards, even in ubers. I have problems mainly with Arceus, Rayquaza and Lugia. Kyogre also gives me grief if Qwilfish is down.
