    "Man, that beating was worth it to get you to sign this contract...it will be HHH vs. Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. No countout. No disqualification. No stopping the match for any single reason...because your match at WrestleMania will be no...holds...barred!" - Paul Heyman, Raw 2013

    So yeah, Amour is back here with an AG team. Metagames without rules are really fun to play (bar Swagger) and allow you to abuse Species Clause to the fullest. And this is exactly what this team does.

    It uses 4 (yes, 4) ExtremeKiller Arceus + SD Mega Ray to slowly destroy defensive teams and absolutely terrorize offense. You'll notice that 3 of the 4 Arceus I use carry a Lum Berry to deal with Klefki, Lugia, Sableye and other shit which likes to rely on Toxic, Swagger, WoW or whatever.

    Though dedicated Swagger teams are still not fun to play against. And neither is evasion.

    team at a glance:

    D-Generation X (Arceus) @ Lum Berry
    Ability: Multitype
    EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
    Adamant Nature
    - Stealth Rock
    - ExtremeSpeed
    - Swords Dance
    - Earthquake

    The first EKiller sets up SR and does stuff. +2 ExtremeSpeed is kinda weak when your Arceus can't make use of Silk Scarf, or Life Orb, but it will still do damage to any offensive-inclined Pokemon. Earthquake is used because fuck you Klefki.

    can you dig it sucka (Arceus) @ Lum Berry
    Ability: Multitype
    EVs: 188 HP / 252 Atk / 68 Spe
    Adamant Nature
    - Swords Dance
    - Toxic
    - ExtremeSpeed
    - Shadow Claw / Earthquake

    This EKiller plays the role of a lure, because screw you Lugia and Giratina (-O). Watch out for Sub sets though, so I use 68 Spe EVs to outspeed most variants of Lugia. If you really, really hate Klefki, you can use EQ, but I like to just beat down these two walls with SClaw because it feels so awesome to overcome your counters.

    wow (Arceus) @ Life Orb
    Ability: Multitype
    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
    Jolly Nature
    - Swords Dance
    - ExtremeSpeed
    - Earthquake
    - Stone Edge

    This is a tried and true EKiller. Please see this page for information about how it works.

    Wave of Nothing (Arceus) @ Lum Berry
    Ability: Multitype
    EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
    Adamant Nature
    - Swords Dance
    - ExtremeSpeed
    - Earthquake
    - Roar

    The 4th Arceus of this team uses Roar to screw over opposing EKiller. Earthquake is once again used to defeat Klefki.

    free me pls (Rayquaza-Mega) @ Life Orb
    Ability: Delta Stream
    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
    Adamant Nature
    - Swords Dance
    - Earthquake
    - Dragon Ascent
    - ExtremeSpeed

    The reason this meta exists. If it sets up a Swords Dance, you're dead, period. +2 Dragon Ascent deals enormous damage even to Multiscale Lugia, and ExtremeSpeed still hurts a lot.

    7.8 out of 10 (Kyogre) @ Choice Scarf
    Ability: Drizzle
    EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
    Timid Nature
    - Water Spout
    - Ice Beam
    - Thunder
    - Origin Pulse / Sheer Cold

    This is probably the most interesting choice, since Kyogre isn't all that great in Ubers. However, PDon seems to be way less common in AG than Ubers, so Scarf Kyogre shall rise once again! Water Spout deals a ton of damage to anything which doesn't resist it, and is complemented by Ice Beam and Thunder. You can either use Origin Pulse or Sheer Cold for its last moveslot, Sheer Cold has a 51% chance to beat PDon in two turns while Origin Pulse is a much safer move than Water Spout.



    Aaaand that's it, I guess. Watch out for physically defensive Arceus and teams of 6 EKiller. And fuck Klefki.

    what do u do if the opponent has 5 giratina-o's??

    Nobody uses 5 Giratina-O on an AG team. M-Ray can set up on a -2 Draco Meteor but has to watch out for Dragon Tail. ScarfOgre does decent damage to them with Ice Beam. well in practice that team could beat me x_x
     
    You could always like....throw Aerial Ace on one of the Arceuses to deal with evasion

    eh screw it. aerial ace is just not worth it and some teams pass evasion to klefki which guess what, resists this move.
