You might be wondering how I lost this one game. Did I do bad plays ? Was I outplayed ? Did I forget to play and lost to inactivity ? No, I was just chilling on the ladder when on the first turn of a game :

Then Kyogre was ... how can I tell it ... a big threat

As I finished this AG Core Ladder Challenge on an almost perfect, I would like to post the team that I used if that could help users who want to participate to this challenge. Here is the team :
(click on the sprites)


Initially I built this team for the Ubers tier and I just made few changes to adapt it to the AG tier. The initial team (click on the sprites) :
This team was built on the ReshZac Core but fits well with Def Xern as a Cleric.
Here as the spreads if you are interested to know what they do :

Reshiram (in the Ubers team) :
- 152 Speed allows it to outspeed Necrozma-Dusk-Mane 252 Speed Neutral.
- 32- Atk, in association with 252+ SpA allows Reshiram to always KO Ho-Oh. Indeed the Draco Meteor - Stone Edge combination with this spread will get rid of Ho-Oh (calcs below).
- The rest is put in HP to better hold hits.
252+ SpA Turboblaze Reshiram Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 52 SpD Ho-Oh: 171-202 (41.1 - 48.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
32- Atk Turboblaze Reshiram Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 204+ Def Ho-Oh: 252-300 (60.5 - 72.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Reshiram (in the AG team) :
- Classic spread alongside Dragon Dance to outspeed at +1 Calyrex-Shadow.

Necrozma-Dusk-Mane :
- Classic spread with the Rocky Helmet to check Zacian-Crowned.

Yveltal :
- 188+ Speed allows it to outspeed max speed bases 90 Speed (with 4 additional EVs to outspeed 184+ Speed Yveltal).
- The rest is put in HP and SpD to better check Calyrex-Shadow.

Zacian-Crowned :
- I gave it max HP to allow it to hold a Max Starfall (or Lightning) from Xerneas after a Geomancy, as the speed isn't really important in most situations.
+2 252+ SpA Xerneas Max Lightning vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Zacian-Crowned: 300-353 (77.5 - 91.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+2 252+ SpA Fairy Aura Xerneas Max Starfall vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Zacian-Crowned: 276-326 (71.3 - 84.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Xerneas :
- 80 Speed allows it to outspeed Necrozma-Dusk-Mane 252 Speed Neutral.
- 72 SpA to always OHKO Zygarde (non complete) with the Big Boss spread (and it has good odds to KO Zygarde max HP)
72 SpA Fairy Aura Xerneas Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Zygarde: 378-446 (90 - 106.1%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
72 SpA Fairy Aura Xerneas Moonblast vs. 12 HP / 48 SpD Zygarde: 360-426 (100 - 118.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Eternatus :
- 212 SpD (with 252 HP) allows Eternatus to hold two Water Spout or two Ice Beam from Kyogre Modest (if it doesn't crit and freeze :psycry:) in addition from holding two Dark Pulse from Yveltal Life Orb 252 EVs (not Modest, if it is: it's a roll),.
- 16+ Speed allows it to outspeed max speed bases 100 Speed.
- The rest is put in Defense to better hold physical attacks, and Psyshock from Calyrex Shadow Rider (to KO it if it's as range).
252+ SpA Kyogre Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 212 SpD Eternatus: 204-240 (42.1 - 49.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ SpA Kyogre Water Spout (150 BP) vs. 252 HP / 212 SpD Eternatus in Rain: 189-223 (39 - 46%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ SpA Life Orb Dark Aura Yveltal Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 212 SpD Eternatus: 211-250 (43.5 - 51.6%) -- 9.4% chance to 2HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Dark Aura Yveltal Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 212 SpD Eternatus: 192-227 (39.6 - 46.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Calyrex-Shadow Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 28 Def Eternatus: 413-486 (85.3 - 100.4%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

Welcome to the fourth cycle of the first season of the second AG CLC! This week features Ferrothorn and Zygarde. Ferrothorn reliably deals with the otherwise troublesome Kyogre and Xerneas, while also setting up Spikes that Zygarde can take full advantage of using Dragon Tail to rack up chip damage on the opposing team.
