Kay.

Nay. Mewtwo without FP is like Blissey bait. Shadow Ball hits Psychics hard and makes it so that Shedinja doesn't lol @ you.

Not like Synthesis will do much, especially when Kyogre comes out to play. Eggy isn't ment to last long in ubers anyways.


Latias (F) @ Soul Dew ** Laa
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 156 Spd / 192 SAtk / 160 SDef
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

This set isn't useful anymore. Too easily countered by lots of stuff, takes too long to set up. It handles stuff better when it's more diverse.

Metagross @ Leftovers ** Cybus

Meh.

Brave? You aren't even starting with Groudon so it's not like getting weather priority matters.

I'd put pursuit on Metagross, for Deoxys-F.

Thanks guys. Aragorn, I think I'll make that change to Mewtwo... but Safeguard is really handy on my Latias, despite how juicily diverse that set is.

Those attacks are yucky on a CB Rayquaza. O_o Hyper Beam takes a turn to recharge, Fly takes two turns and can miss, and Dragon Claw is a special attack... (at least until D/P)

Sorry, but that is a HORRIBLE moveset for Rayquaza. NEVER use crappy two-turn moves like Fly or Hyper Beam. Those moves might work against the pathetic AI that is programmed not to switch out so that little kids can beat it, but against a smart opponent, they are just going to switch out.

For example, you have Rayquaza out and I have Heracross. I simply switch out to a Poke that is neutral (or even resists) Flying attacks, like Groudon or Latias or Kyogre. RayRay soars in the air on the first turn. The next turn, RayRay is speedy so it attacks first, using the pathetic Fly for minimal or normal damage. Now with Groudon (Rock Slide) or Latias (Ice Beam) or Kyogre (Ice Beam), RayRay is murdered. Even if it isn't, with Choice Band, you now have to switch out or use the horrible Fly move again.

Hyper Beam is even worse. You might surprise me with HB, offing one of my Pokes, but I just simply bring one of the above Pokes and I have a free shot to take out RayRay because HB wastes a turn to recharge and, even worse, you CANNOT switch out that turn. HB is a bad, bad move, especially competitively.

Rock Slide and Earthquake are FAR more effective. Hidden Power [Bug] is also great to murder the overabundance of Psychics in the Uber metagame. Superkid11's moveset, as AB said, is "Kay".

I'm more surprised you decided to post this moveset.

HP Bug is definately stronger on a CB rayquaza than Dragon Claw. It's for the psychic pokemon in ubers like Latias or Mewtwo or Deoxys. Hits em super effective.

Yet you suggested Fly, which has the same base power as Hidden Power.
