Team At a Glance:
After a long time of playing strictly OU, I decided to make an Ubers team with a friend of mine. Through a fair amount of playtesting, I haven't found any huge weaknesses, however, I'm not too familiar with the Ubers metagame, as I havent played in a little under a year. Thats where you raters come in.
Shaymin-s @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Seed Flare
- Air Slash
- Earth Power
- Hidden Power [Ice]
The best lead I've found to date. With the coverage available to him, his ability to change the outcome of a match with his crazy hax, and outrunning everything in the tier with Scarf, he serves as a great Anti-lead, as well as an amazing revenge killer if he is left alive until later in the game. Nothing in the game can compare to Skymin.

Forretress (F) @ Shed Shell
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP/6 Def/252 SDef
Relaxed nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Rapid Spin
- Spikes
- Gyro Ball
- Stealth Rock
Since Skymin dosent set up any entry hazards, I feel it necessary to have someone else set them up. Rocks and Spikes are serious game-changers in ubers, so utilizing them on a Pokemon with great typing and the ability to remove other entry hazards is perfect. Gyro Ball is for obvious reasons.

Palkia @ Lustrous Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Aqua Tail
- Spacial Rend
- Surf
- Thunder
Lustrous Orb Palkia is a beast. Especially under rain, which is very common in ubers, Palkia is a monster, and in my opinion is the best Pokemon in the game. It is the best wallbreaker in ubers, and works particularly well with my next Pokemon:
---
Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def/6 Spd/252 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Protect
- Wish
- Seismic Toss
- Thunder Wave
Blissey is a Pokemon that I've always hated, primarily in OU, but I couldn't help but use her in Ubers. Passing Wish really helps keep the rest of my team alive, and Thunder Wave slows down other Pokemon, opening room for Palkia to come in an clean up. Seismic Toss is obvious to damage everything besides Giratina, if she has to stay in.
---
Lugia @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/8 Def/248 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Roost
- Ice Beam
- Reflect
- Whirlwind
An old favorite of mine, and my answer to any physical attacker. Reflect and Roost allow me to easily stall Groudon out of Stone Edge PP, and the given EVs allow me to outrun Rayquaza, OHKOing it before it has any chance to set up. For almost anything else, Whirlwind allows me to phaze them out, and build up on damage from Rocks and Spikes. This works to weaken up things for Palkia, and my final team member:
---
Scizor (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- Pursuit
The oh-so-overused CB Scizor that has been taking the OU tier by storm is just as viable in Ubers. U-turn allows for me to come in on things that are scared of it, and scout out their counters. Pursuit can catch frail uber sweepers trying to get away. Bullet Punch's crazy power allows Scizor to act as a great revenge killer. Superpower is somewhat filler, but allows a harder hit on Blissey and Dialga.

And that is my team. Tear it to pieces, and make any suggestions. I aim to hang onto this team for a while, and I want it to be the best it can be. Thanks in advance.
