Lol that's probably the reason why I unplugged my Wii and threw it in the closet. XD They aren't stronger though; it's just annoying to sit there and wait until Blissey finally kills them since the rest of my team gets pwned easily by ubers. So the "SUU" end up running away from me after killing 30 minutes of my time. >O

My bro is only four so I let him use Ubers when we battle together. But some people on WiFi use moves he wouldn't even use! Using like one or two doesn't make it too bad but too many ubers and it gets tiring every battle.

Well, I have one Legendary in my team. One. So don't bash me.
*bashes you once lightly* Come on. If we competitive players disapprove of the use of legendaries, why would it be justifiable to use less of them?

I will never use Ubers in a battle unless it's the E4...

I don't and probably never will use ubers, they don't make very much sense to me. Ubers are used for In-Game battles like the elite four, but not for wi-fi play. Legends aren't exactly a bad thing, but using Ubers kind of says that your too lazy to train a team of your own.

awesomeman500, don't use words that are blocked by PC's word filter. There are always alternatives you can use, and some of the members here are quite young. Please keep this in mind when you post.

Sorry Ichida. I have to take that award away. Cakekun wins the award for best off-the-top response. Although I'll still put yours on my sig, if you don't mind.

Why does everyone keep talking about legendaries and Ubers as if they were the same thing? They're two completely different things and should never be mixed up.
There's this thing called the Uber Metagame.
This post = auto win. And I'm sure many people use Ubers in PBR just so they can stand a chance against other players there. It's an endless cycle. Let's say 30% (just a random number I used as an example) of the PBR players were random 7 year old kids who used Ubers because they look cool. Then people who didn't know about EVs but used regular Pokémon got fed up with getting their butt kicked by Ubers all the time, so they decided they'll use Ubers as well so now 70% (just a random number again) of all players use Ubers. If 7 year old kids would have been banned from PBR we might have less Ubers there.

Yeah, that's true. If it werent for Ubers being used ny noobs then they would be less common. But I do belive that Ubers are decent pokemon too and should not be excluded from the standard metagame. Ubers are strong. No doubt about that. But they all have one crucial flaw that can be exploited. They have weaknesses and all as well. I feel that if people would balance the standards with ubers when party building that the game wouldnt be so bad.
Yes, when properly trained ubers can be 'titans' and unbeatable by stadard pokemon. But you must realize that most noobs wielding ubers know NOTHING of EVs and the like and do not train them properly. When that occurs the uber is simply as strong as any regular EV trained standard pokemon when it comes to their naturally strong stat(s).
I keep ubers in my team to efficiently counter noob's Ubers and as a back up when all else fails. My ubers arent well trained either. I dont bother EV training them too much because I know their stats will be fine.
To be honest I grow tired of people blaming ubers for ruined battles. They arent much diiferent from the rest and they are only as good as the trainer behind them.

I'm planning to use 2 uber pokemon (Mewtwo and Kyogre).

Sure, a team of ubber EV trained, with chosen nature and good IV is so owning.
