Is zekrom good on ubers?
Is choice band a good item
Zekrom is not that good since Primal-Groudon and Xerneas exist and unfortunately it rarely time fits in builds although if your team has a solid answer for Ground and Fairy typing you can always try with a set such as Shuca Berry Hone Claws or Mixed Life Orb.
Zekrom @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 136 HP / 252 Atk / 120 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Hone Claws
- Bolt Strike
- Dragon Claw
- Outrage

Zekrom @ Life Orb
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naughty Nature
- Bolt Strike
- Outrage
- Draco Meteor
- Volt Switch

*All I can say about getting your team in showcase is make sure it's a good team, easy to read, well explained and be careful with the layout; Artwork is your friend, make it look as pleasant as possible and you will have more chances but mods have the final say ''those teams will be handpicked by the RMT moderation team.''
*There are some official tournaments: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter Ubers Seasonal it's double elimination you can find more information in the Circuit Tournaments Subforum but I think there won't be more of these until Sun and Moon.
*I'd recommend to you this tournament called Speed Matters which looks quite fun and it's a good way to start involving yourself in this community. ^~^

Hi I was told to make an account to sign up for the team ubers tour to test my uber skills as opposed to ladder and room tournaments. Are there any more official tours as of right now that I can join that can be used to prove/improve my skills. Also what is a good way to meet people on this forum/community. Sorry if this has been asked in the past

Why is Mega Blaziken D rank but has the first slash on the analysis? If it's bad shouldn't it not be on it in the first place?

I'm not an expert but I think you're stacking a huge and unneccesary Xerneas weakness by choosing Mandibuzz as your defogger. What i think you could do to fix the error is use something like Bronzong, Skarm, Jirachi, or some type of dedicated Xern answer and change your defogger to Dragceus or Waterceus to help versus Primal Groudon better as well. Im no expert on oras teambuilding but i think changing those two first would benefit your team and then if theyre are still flaws someone could pick up from where i left off
 
look back at gen 5, excadrill was ubers.

just wondering but if a new sandstorm harsh weather was made and it was permanent. would excadrill make a return to ubers??

also 2nd question

We simply don't know. I sincerely doubt those conditions will arise though. You have to remember that Ubers doesn't decide what is banned from OU, OU decides what is banned from OU and only useable in Ubers (and/or AG).
also 2nd question

Kyurem-W doesn't really play a big role right now. It helps chunk Arc-water and steels vs balance I suppose and can do damage when in on Giratina-O against bulky offense, but it just kinda flubs vs hyper offense. It can do lethal damage to hyper offense if it gets a chance to use Ice Beam more than once, but it likely won't. Its typing is wierd because it can be used as a pivot from and to Primal Groudon when facing Primal Kyogre, but unlike most other members that do this, it doesn't have a Ground immunity or the bulk to not get 2HKOed by Precipice Blades / Fire Punch from Primal Groudon. It makes teams super hard or even impossible to complete because of its lack of roll compression is what I am trying to get at I guess.

a few things

-you have sash deo-a, but it seems to me like your lead is mega sableye or dialga. sash deo-a is really only used as a sr lead, if you want to use is as a revenge killer/late-game sweeper, you'll want to give it a life orb and make it modest.

-i wouldn't really use lugia outside of stall, some people will disagree with me but imo its usually just setup bait and a waste of a teamslot. same thing for sableye.

-dont use mandibuzz

-put charti berry on dialga, as that's really the only viable set

honestly, i'd drop the team, it gets 6-0 by pretty much any pdon set, ekiller, or yveltal, and is easily dealt with by most threats.

There can be many reasons why your Greninja was slower.
1.) You forgot your EVs.
2.) Your opponent lowered your speed.
3.) Your opponent may have used Tailwind.

Your Greninja could also not be level 100 (VGC uses level 50).

As Lacus Clyne said above, check your EV's but also IV's, nature and your level. Make sure your Greninja matches this picture.
