Arceus
Darkrai
Deoxys (all forms)
Dialga
Giratina
Groudon
Ho-oh
Kyogre
Latias
Latios
Lugia
Manaphy
Mew
Mewtwo
Palkia
Rayquaza
Wobbuffet

Im guessing ubers are like ultra powerful? haha lol

 

[celestial_okami]

Yeah, they usually have superior stats, abilities, or movelists. By the way, Tyranitar is also sometimes considered part of Ubers. He is still kind of up the air.

 

[t5gnyaborar]

Uhhh wobbuffet? thats really wierd...

 

[Milke]

Wobuffet has shadow tag, counter, mirror coat and other crazy moves.

Tyranitar is not an Uber because it dies with a Cross Chop =/

And, yes, Wobbuffet is ultra mega powerful. It just doesn't look like one.

 

[Regigigas]

What the? Wobbuffet is an uber? Then Team Rocket should be owning now.

 

[Harwinder]

I agree with regigigas also if it IS an uber why is it so easy to get one. I have like 2 in fire red both caught by mistake.

Ubers are not only legendaries. It's just an Uber because of its stats, moveset, and ability. It wasn't made an Uber on purpose.

They made Wobbuffet broken. If not, I would use one. I REALLY like Wobba.

 

[Gulpin]

Ubers are over-strong Pokemon and usually in a Wi-Fi battle they aren't allowed. Go to the Strategies & Movesets thread for a list of them. (look in 1 of the stickied threads)

Thats like saying Ho-oh isn't an Uber because it takes 50% from Stealth Rock / dies to a Stone Edge. Or that Groudon isn't uber because it dies to an Ice Beam. 4x Weaknesses do not alone determine tiers. Stats, typing, ability, and movepool all contribute. Not trying to argue tiers with you, but what essentially amounts to a base special defense 65 points greater than Blissey is not something to discount in power simply because of a 4x weakness.

As for people confused by Wobbuffet - Shadow Tag prevents you from switching. Encore makes you locked into a move. If you attacked, it uses Counter or Mirror Coat. If you didn't attack, it switches and lets a new pokemon set up or attack while you switch out or continue using said non-attack move. Destiny Bond ensures it will kill one more pokemon before it goes down.
