Made a Sticky Web team in Ubers that seems to be doing alright, but was looking for ways to improve it.


Shuckle @ Mental Herb
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Sticky Web
- Encore
- Toxic
- Rock Tomb

Basically the only viable Sticky Web setter for Ubers. No need to have SR on here since another teammate can set that, and Rock Tomb prevents Shuckle from being complete Taunt/Magic Coat bait after Mental Herb is gone.


Mewtwo-Mega-Y @ Mewtwonite Y
Ability: Insomnia
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psystrike
- Aura Sphere
- Taunt
- Ice Beam

Mega Mewtwo Y is here to take care of Darkrai leads that will shut Shuckle down with Dark Void. Taunt is great for screwing with defensive pokes like Lugia, Giratina-A, Chansey, etc that could pose a problem. Also provides special attacking stuff.


Zekrom @ Life Orb
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Bolt Strike
- Draco Meteor
- Roost

Besides the obvious reason why I'm using it, Zekrom also benefits from Sticky Web being up, and destroys Lugia, Ho-oh, and Kyogre. Even with an Adamant nature Draco Meteor still 2HKOs non-specially defensive Primal Groudons switching in if rocks are up, and 2HKOs all Lando-Ts that switch in. Roost to heal off Life Orb recoil and such.


Kyogre-Primal @ Blue Orb
Ability: Primordial Sea
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Origin Pulse
- Thunder
- Ice Beam
- Calm Mind

Primal Kyogre resists Zekrom's Ice weakness and gets rid off the intense sun that Primal Groudons bring. It also likes the SW support.


Landorus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- U-turn

The team's Stealth Rock setter. Also checks opposing Zekroms and Primal Groudons to some degree.


Arceus-Steel @ Iron Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- Defog
- Extreme Speed
- Swords Dance

And of course you can't go without something to deal with GeoXern, so that's what Steel Arceus is here for, as a more offensive answer than Aegislash. Squeezed Defog onto it because the team doesn't really appreciate hazards on my side. Went with the EV spread because I wanted it to have some bulk since +2 Moonblasts still hurt a lot, but idk if I should use a different spread or what.

So....ideas/thoughts?

Take note that Primal Kyogre is a rather shaky check to Primal Groudon because while it can switch into Lava Plume, it won't like taking Earthquake or Precipice Blades.

Primal Groudon is pretty much mandatory on Uber teams nowadays because of its sheer versatility. It's also a neat backup check to Xerneas if Arceus happens to go down. Ask yourself why you'd use Therian Landorus over Groudon:
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake/Precipice Blades
-Lava Plume/Stone Edge
-Roar/Thunder Wave
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP/56 Def/200 SDef
Item: Red Orb

or
-Stealth Rock
-Precipice Blades
-Fire Punch/Stone Edge
-Dragon Tail/Stone Edge
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 224 HP/240 Atk/32 SDef/12 Spe
Item: Red Orb

or
-Rock Polish
-Precipice Blades
-Dragon Claw/Swords Dance
-Overheat/Stone Edge
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 104 HP/252 Atk/96 SDef/56 Spe
Item: Red Orb

or
-Swords Dance
-Precipice Blades
-Stone Edge
-Thunder Wave
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP/100 Atk/144 SDef/12 Spe
Item: Red Orb

As awesome as Primal Groudon is, the issue with putting it on this team is that then half the team is weak to Ground with nothing to cover that at all, which is pretty bad when Primal Groudon is so common and there's other Ground attacks you occasionally run into like Ground Arceus Judgements or Shaymin-S Earth Powers.

Unless you had ideas to deal with that?

If you have problems with Groudon, then consider adding in Lugia, Ho-oh or Yveltal. Even though they won't like Stone Edge or taking statuses, either can switch into Groudon's Ground STAB; Ho-oh can even switch into Groudon's Fire STAB:

Lugia:
-Toxic
-Roost
-Whirlwind/Dragon Tail
-Reflect/Aeroblast/Substitute/Thunder Wave
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/120 Def/136 Spe
Item: Leftovers

Ho-oh:
-Sacred Fire
-Brave Bird
-Earthquake
-Sleep Talk
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/196 Atk/52 SDef/12 Spe
Item: Choice Band

or
-Sacred Fire
-Brave Bird
-Roost
-Substitute/Earthquake
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP/196 Atk/52 SDef/12 Spe
Item: Leftovers

or
-Sacred Fire
-Brave Bird
-Roost
-Whirlwind
Nature: Impish
EVs: 248 HP/208 Def/52 SDef
Item: Leftovers

Yveltal:
-Dark Pulse
-Oblivion Wing
-Sucker Punch
-Taunt
Nature: Rash
EVs: 24 HP/48 Atk/252 SAtk/184 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Black Glasses/Dread Plate

or
-Foul Play
-Taunt
-Roost
-Sucker Punch/Toxic
Nature: Impish/Bold
EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
Item: Leftovers

or
-Dark Pulse
-Foul Play
-Oblivion Wing
-U-turn
Nature: Modest
EVs: 32 HP/4 Def/248 SAtk/224 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf

IMO, I think Poison Arceus is better over Steel Arceus, as the poison chance from Poison Jab can help, plus Ground, Ghost and Normal Arceus do Swords Dance abuse much better:
-Poison Jab
-Defog
-Thunder Wave/Will-o-Wisp
-Recover
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP/200 Def/56 Spe
Item: Toxic Plate
