So....made an Ubers team. I've been using it for a while and wanted to see what could be improved. Was sorta trying to base a team around Zekrom:


Zekrom @ Choice Band
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Bolt Strike
- Dragon Claw
- Outrage
- Fusion Bolt

Banded Zekrom's power is impressive. I know that the standard set has Volt Switch instead of Fusion Bolt, but I never saw the point in having Volt Switch on just one Pokemon in Ubers.


Aegislash @ Leftovers
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Gyro Ball
- Toxic
- King's Shield
- Shadow Sneak
Basically the best GeoXern check around, which is good to have since GeoXern is everywhere and Zekrom may or may not be able to handle it depending on the situation.


Kyogre @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Water Spout
- Surf
- Thunder
- Ice Beam
Kyogre makes for a nice revenge killer because of the Scarf and STAB Drizzle Water Spout's absurd power. It's also nice because it handles Groudon fairly well and the rain neuter's Ho-oh's Sacred Fire.


Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Soft-Boiled
- Heal Bell
- Seismic Toss
- Thunder Wave
Chansey is godly sometimes, though sometimes I wonder if I should switch it to Blissey because Chansey gets wrecked by Mega Gengar and that sucks.


Arceus-Fairy @ Pixie Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 112 Spe
Timid Nature
- Defog
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
- Judgment
Fairy Arceus is the team's physical wall, more or less, and Fairy's a good type to have in a tier where half the pokes are Dragons. Also provides hazard removal.


Rayquaza @ Life Orb
Ability: Air Lock
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Draco Meteor
- V-create
- Extreme Speed
- Earthquake
Rayquaza is something I'm not sure about. I threw it in there because Dragons are cool and I needed some other attacker.

I'm aware I lack Stealth Rock/entry hazards, but I couldn't think of a good way to fit it onto the team. Also, I hate Subs.

ur team loses p hard to standard stall, amongst others. give ray dd/sd or something. give zekrom volt switch. also. where the **** are your stealth rocks. ho-oh is shredding you alive.
Yeah, I've noticed that I'm bad against stall in general. Also, why should Zekrom have Volt Switch? And like I said, I'm aware I lack SR, but I wasn't sure how to fit it into the team, so if you have suggestions on that......

Hi! This isn't a bad team, as you utilize some underrated pokemon such as mixed Rayquaza (which is still very threatening in this metagame) and pack checks to most of the top threats, such as Xerneas and Kyogre. However, I do have some suggestions for you.

1. Run Blissey over Chansey and run Thunder or Flamethrower over Seismic Toss.

Chansey is terrible in a Mega Gengar infested metagame; it also struggles badly with frail Taunt users such as Mewtwo and Darkrai. Thunder Blissey can hax said Taunt users while still dealing OK chip damage to most mons that don't resist Electric moves. This team appreciates cleric support, so I'd keep Heal Bell for now and find anoter Stealth Rock user.

2. Life Orb > Choice Band on Zekrom.

Both of Zek's STAB moves carry common immunities in Fairy and Ground, so Zekrom appreciates the ability to switch moves. Run Draco Meteor over Dragon Claw and move 140 speed EV's to Special Attack to kill Landorus-T after it switches into SR twice. Mixed Krom doesn't really need maximum speed to lure and break stuff like Groudon and Lando.

3. Shadow Ball > Sneak on Aegislash

Sneak is way too weak and Shadow Ball does decent damage to common switchins. It also allows Aegi to check Mewtwo better since it can hit it harder AND stay in Shield forme before taking one of Mewtwo's attacks.

4. Replace either Kyogre or Rayquaza with physically defensive Landorus-T.

Stone Edge/SR Lando-T gives you a way to check Ho-Oh in conjunction with Blissey's cleric support (so a Sacred Fire burn isn't necessarily a death sentence). It also gives you SR and a much-needed electric immunity, as well as a Groudon check. I'd replace Quaza since you have a wallbreaker Dragon already but it is to you.

Good luck!

Mega Mewtwo Y is very threatening to your team, especially if Kyogre is dead. It can live a Shadow Ball from your Aegislash while OHKOing its blade forme with Fire Blast, Landorus-T risks eating an Ice Beam and takes a ton from Psystrike, Fairyceus is 2HKOed with a bit of prior damage iirc and Blissey can be Taunted and Psystrike hits its physical defense.

Therefore, I suggest replacing Fairyceus with Darkceus. I don't really see how does it synergize with your team, since Aegislash already counters most Dragon-types and your Kyogre and Landorus-T can check them pretty well. Meanwhile Arceus-Dark makes for an excellent Mega Mewtwo Y check, while also countering Aegislash, Ghostceus, Giratina-O and Lugia. One last thing: your Darkceus should be specially defensive based to check these threats better.

Arceus-Dark @ Dread Plate
Trait: Multitype
EVs: 252 HP / 144 SpD / 112 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk (also put this on Kyogre)

- Defog
- Will-o-Wisp
- Recover
- Judgment

Good luck with your team! (p.s: consider Earth Plate > Leftovers on your Lando-T)
