Arceus

Set Comments:

This Arceus set is feared by many teams. It doesn't need a lot of Speed to destroy teams. Paralyzing it doesn't even help if it uses Extreme Speed unless it ends up being fully paralyzed. This Arceus will first use Swords Dance to boost its Attack to 744. It then plows through teams with Extreme Speed most commonly unless the foe resists that move. Earthquake blasts the steel and rock Pokémon that resist it. Shadow Claw makes sure Giratina and Lugia get damaged a lot. Dragon Claw could be used over Shadow Claw due to dragon and ground being only resisted by Bronzong. The HP EVs can be varied depending on just how much Speed you desire.


Team Options:

Swords Dance Arceus appreciates entry hazards on the team because few Pokémon can take repeated attacks once it doubles its Attack. It can function well on any team due to it being able to be a revenge killer and a sweeper at the same time.



Set Comments:

Grasseus is ment mostly as a way to handle the likes of Kyogre and Groudon who are both weak to his typing. Judgement dishes out super effective damage to Groudon, Kyogre and Manaphy. Shadow Ball can take care of Giratina, Giratina-O, Mewtwo and Lugia. While Hyper Voice can be used to deal neutral damage or Flamethrower can be used to handle Shaymin-Sky or Excadrill.


Team Options:

Teams thrat run Groudon would be a great combo since it would boost the power of Flamethrower and would also allow for a SolarBeam combonation that would cause some heafty damage to a wide range of pokemon.


Blaziken

Set Comments:

One of the newest members to Ubers, Blaziken holds some potent powerful bulk. By combinning Speed Boost with Swords Dance Blaziken can sweep a farily large portion of OU Tier pokemon. Hi Jump Kick can take out Tyranitar in one hit as well as Darkrai. Stone Edge can OHKO Jellicent and Dragonite while Flare Blitz takes out pokemon like Shaymin-S, Ferrothorn, Scizor and Excadrill. To effectivly use this set Blaziken must first use Protect then Swords Dance the fallowing turn. After which it can then use its +2 ATK and Spd to start sweeping.


Team Options:

Since Blazikens offensive power make it ideal for Sunny Day and Offensive teams its best suited for that area. Even Uber Stall Teams could use this pokemons impressive power to aide in sweeping.


Bulbasaur

Set Comments:

Despite its poor attacking move pool, Bulbasaur makes a great Dream World revenge killer. all Bulbasaur needed was a small boost. Sludge Bomb is a weaker move, but a much more reliable STAB move. Making hits on many Pokemon that resist grass types very heavily. Hidden Power Fire is used for hitting steel types very hard. With a Timid nature, Bulbasaur speed boost increases, allowing his attacks on more Pokemon, with more effectiveness. Although Gastly can switch in on Bulbasaur, and cause a great deal of damage, this can be prevented, by keeping Stun Spores PP up, and in good health. Once Gastly is paralyzed, Bulbasaur can cause a great deal of damage to your enemies team, this makes him a unique, and underused revenge killer.


Team Options:

Pawnaird and Munchlax can switch in to trap Gastly, using Pursuit. This makes them amazing teammates. As well as many Pokemon with a faster speed than Bulbasaur, and boosted speed, they can create a huge problem. The most common of these would; Mantyke, Shellder, Clamperl, and any Houndoor and/or Ponyta. Especially when Houndoor and Ponyta are using flame charge. Chinchou removes Mantyke, Shellder, and Clamperl with simple STAB moves, along with some of the fire types. Ferroseed is also a really great teammate to get rid of Mantyke, Shellder, and Clamperl also. Timburr can be both a thread, and a good teammate. Priority Timburr can assist Bulbasaur as a back up revenge kill for faster Pokemon on both sides. As you can see, Bulbasaur has its own weakness's and strengths, but overall is a fairly good Little Cup player.


Dialga

Set Comments:

This is a classic set used by Arceus who gave the idea to AlphaNinja. Dialga may have great Special Attack but it's impressive physical bulk makes it a better Physical abuser. Bulk Up improves the ATK and DEF enough to endure a lot of Physical attacks while Outrage or Dragon Tail allows you to abuse entry hazzards like Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Toxic Spikes. Rest is here to heal away damage and let Dialga use Sleep Talk to either use Bulk Up or Outrage/Dragon Tail.


Team Options:

Uber Stall. Partners include Arceus, Deoxys-D, Giratina, Giratina-O, Groudon, Ho-oh and Forretress. With Gen 5 new partners include Reshirm, Zekrom, Ferrothorn and Quagsire.


Emboar

Set Comments:

Emboar's ability increases the power of recoil moves. This takes advantage by using some of the highest powered moves with a Choice Scarf to ensure first strike. Flare Blitz's power becomes immense. This makes it capable of OHKOs when you factor in the high base Attack and entry hazards. Head Smash provides an option against Dragonite and fire Pokémon. Wild Bolt will take care of any water Pokémon except for those with immunity to electric attacks. Overheat will still hit hard even with the small investment in Special Attack. Superpower can be helpful if you need coverage against dark Pokémon like Tyranitar. 204 Speed will outpace Starmie. If you wanted to always get the jump on Choice Scarf Tyranitar, you could bump Speed EVs up to 212 then remove from Special Attack. Maximum Attack EVs are needed for maximum damage. If you are not going to use Fire Blast or Overheat, the nature can switch to Jolly and the Special Attack EVs can go into HP.


Team Options:

Emboar performs best in the sun with this set. Flare Blitz becomes an immense threat to anything, though it takes a lot of its own HP away. Ninetales summons sun to make it happen making it a valuable partner. This also protects it from water Pokémon. Wish Support can really benefit this Pokémon. Blissey, Vaporeon, or Jirachi can make excellent choices for this task. Vaporeon covers a weakness of Emboar's by typing which makes it the best candidate on most teams. Emboar also likes entry hazards set up so it doesn't hurt itself as much and it prevents the ability Sturdy from allowing a Pokémon to survive or those who are Focus Sashed.


Emboar

Set Comments:

Nitro Charge gives Emboar the Speed it needs to outpace the metagame. Flare Blitz literally destroys nearly everything in the game. Wild Bolt takes down many that would resist Flare Blitz. Superpower can round off the set if your team wants a fighting type move. One could use Brick Break, but the loss of base power is high. Head Smash could also be used instead to take down foe fire Pokémon. 204 Speed is optimal for beating Starmie after the Speed boost. 212 Speed EVs will allow you to outpace all Tyranitar that are Choice Scarfed which could be useful. The rest gives you maximum power while giving a small boost to HP. Life Orb gives the most power, but it does go down quickly then. It does require a bit of prediction to use Nitro Charge at a good time to get your Speed raised.


Team Options:

Ninetales is a great partner for this set as well making the set up move Nitro Charge more powerful and giving a boost to Flare Blitz. Pokémon that set up entry hazards are also useful so it takes less recoil damage. Skarmory and Swampert are great for this because they can also force the opponent out with Whirlwind and Roar respectively. They also have a nice amount of bulk. Pokémon that set up screens can also work great since then it has some safety when it does Nitro Charge to get the boost. Bronzong and Uxie work really well because of their high defenses.


Excadrill

Set Comments:

In the sand Excadrill outpaces the opponent. This set focuses on raising your Attack first then sweep the opponent's team. Earthquake / Rock Slide combo is nearly unresisted making sure you deal high damage. X-Scissor is used to defeat high Speed Pokémon such as Latias and Serperior. Balloon gets rid of its ground weakness until it gets attacked. Rapid Spin can be used in place of X-Scissor if you need a Pokémon that can clear entry hazards.


Team Options:

Excadrill performs best on teams that control the weather. Hippowdon and Tyranitar work great because of providing an infinite sandstorm. The Rapid Spin variant of this is able to stop your team from taking damage from switches.


Gardevoir

Set Comments:

The basic idea of this set is to come in on a set up move from a weather sweeper like Excadrill or Venusaur and kill it with the appropriate move. It also functions as a revenge killer to weather sweepers and normal sweepers alike. HP Ice is for dragons, Thunderbolt handles most of the standard Pokémon used in rain, Psyshock for STAB, Blissey, and sun teams in general, and Focus Blast can kill Excadrill and a lot of sand and hail team Pokémon (provided it hits). Energy Ball can be used if your team has trouble with Quagsire, Swampert, or Gastrodon.


Team Options:

Scizor makes a good partner with Gardevoir becuase it hits with the physical attacks when Gardevoir gets walled, and because of Trace, Gardevoir can switch in on one of most used counter to Scizor, Heatran. Just switch Gardevoir in on the fire attack,and Trace changes to Flash Fire, making it immune to its STAB.


Genesect

Set Comments:

Bug Buzz can OHKO Mewtwo and Darkrai and is overall a useful STAB in the Ubers metagame. Thunder can take out a huge chunk off a max Sp. Def Lugia, and OHKO Kyogre on average. Ice Beam can destroy Pokémon like Garchomp, Rayquaza, Salamence, and other Pokémon vulnerable to Ice Beam. However, you can run Flamethrower if Jirachi or Skarmory is a worry. If you do, Heatrans will just eat you up though. 216 Speed EVs will allow you to outpace Rayquaza.


Team Options:

Genesect really works well with Kyogre. With rain up, Genesect fears Fire slightly less. Genesect, however, falls to Heatran. It's highly suggested you should have a safe check for Heatran such as Kyogre or Palkia. Blissey is a complete wall so be sure to carry physical options or leechers. If you're running Ice Beam over Flamethrower, Jirachi is something to worry about, since Genesect has the misfortune of 99 Base Speed, 1 point short of Jirachi's speed.


Genesect

Set Comments:

Bug Buzz can OHKO Mewtwo and Darkrai and is overall a useful STAB in the Ubers metagame. U-Turn is an option to consider as it doesn't force you to either switch or explode to take out Blissey. Thunder can take out a huge chunk off a max Sp. Def Lugia, and OHKO Kyogre on average. Explosion can be a way out if your low on HP. Ice Beam can destroy Pokémon like Garchomp, Rayquaza, Salamence, and other Pokémon vulnerable to Ice Beam. You can run Flamethrower if Jirachi or Skarmory is a worry. For that scenario, make sure your team has an answer to Heatran.


Team Options:

This set also really works well with Kyogre. With rain up, Genesect still should be weary of fire attacks, particularly from Heatran. Palkia or Kyogre really help against Heatran and are almost a requirement to fighting it. Blissey is a complete wall so be sure to carry physical options or leechers. If you're running Ice Beam over Flamethrower, Jirachi is something to worry about, since Genosect has the misfortune of 99 Base Speed, 1 point short of Jirachi's speed. Heatran is one of the few fail safe Pokémon against Jirachi as Hidden Power Ground is not generally used on Jirachi in Ubers. Dialga works well against it as well abosorbing hits easily. Bulk-Up Dialga may not have a very effective attack against Jirachi, however, it is able to boost its Defense and Attack allowing it to still overcome it easily when combined with Rest.


Gliscor

Set Comments:

With Swords Dance and Poison Heal, Gliscor functions very nicely as a bulky sweeper, stallbreaker, and wall. Thanks to its amazing defenses, Gliscor can easily setup one or two SD, then wreck the opposing team. Earthquake is your STAB option, Ice Fang is to hit levitators and Flying-types, and can also break Air Balloon. The last move is dependent on what your team needs. Taunt can shutdown any Pokemon attempting to setup on him, like Scizor and Conkeldurr, and can shut down some key defensive threats, like Skarmory and Ferrothorn. However, Protect nets you some free recovery turns, and lets you scout the opposing team. The EVs let you outspeed max speed Tyranitar and Adamant Breloom, while the rest is placed into its physical defenses to let it counter key physical threats.


Team Options:

Sp. Defensive Jirachi has perfect synergy with Gliscor, as Jirachi can take on some key special attackers that ruin Gliscor. Blissey can take special hits for Gliscor, and in return Gliscor can take Physical hits and Fighting-types. Tyranitar provides Stealth Rock, Sand Storm, and can beat some common counters to Gliscor, such as Slowbro and Bronzong. Latios is able to beat Rotom-W, something Gliscor appreciates very much.


Groudon

Set Comments:

Rock Polish Groudon is a huge threat to teams once it pulls off Rock Polish. Between its three damaging moves, it is able to deal more than 75% damage to nearly the entire tier unless the opponent is very defensively EV'd. After Stealth Rock and one layer of Spikes, it is capable of many OHKOs with its immense power. After it gets Rock Polish off, the only way to defeat it is generally the recoil from Life Orb and priority moves since only those with 112 Base Speed or higher can move before this Groudon when equiped with Choice Scarf.


Team Options:

Groudon provides sunny weather for the team to abuse. Groudon needs to come in on an advantageous situation where the opponent can do little damage to it. It then can set up its Rock Polish and proceed to sweep many Pokémon. Without Rock Polish's boost, Groudon is very vulnerable since it only has 265 Speed.


Hydreigon

Set Comments:

Utilizing very high base Attack and Special Attack, this set aims to get fast kos without letting the opponent set up. Draco Meteor inflicts massive damage on Pokémon that don't resist it. Flamethrower is better if prefer accuracy and more PP, though Fire Blast inflicts more damage and has a higher burn rate. Dark Pulse is a second stab source. Outrage finishes off the set so Special Walls like Blissey can't easily take hits.


Team Options:

This set can perform its best when it is combined with entry hazards. A second mixed sweeper can really put holes in your opponent's team. Infernape is great for this due to its 346 maximum Speed with great offensive stats.


Keldio

Set Comments:

This Specs/Scarf set is almost unstoppable because Keldio's base 108 Speed makes a unique revenge killer in Ubers and the Specs set can OHKO Blissey and Skarmory. Mystery Sword hits the opponents' Defense rather than their Special Defense so Special walls are taken out. Hidden Power Ice is just a great move in Ubers, and with Scarf it OHKOs many dragons. Focus Blast/Hydro Pump is for a giant 180 Base damage attack (270 with Specs). Scald has a good 30% chance to burn so it is not a bad option.


Team Options:

Scarfchomp makes an excellent partner because it takes out annoyances like Palkia, which can OHKO Keldio. Kyogre's rain support is always great but its coverage is similar to Keldio. Scarfing Keldio makes for an excellent revenge killer while Specs blows holes in both specially and physically defensive Pokémon.


Keldio

Set Comments:

After a Calm Mind Keldio becomes an amazing pseudo-mixed sweeper. Mystery Sword removes Blissey from play and many Ubers are KOd by the special moves. Hydro Pump is deadly in the rain. Hidden Power eliminates Rayquaza and Shaymin-S. Base 129 Special Attack is quite good after a Calm Mind and Water STAB is excellent to have in the rain.


Team Options:

Keldio can stand alone but Scarfchomp gets rid of Palkia which disrupts your sweep. Entry hazards are always useful for a sweeper. Groudon blocks Reshiram which OHKOs Keldio and can absorb scarfed Thunders. Wobbuffet can guarantee a Calm Mind. This set is a great receiver of speed boosts.


Krookodile

Set Comments:

BulkyDile may look very ineffective but when used in combination with Baton Pass pokemon that pass speed, attack, defence, and special defence boosts many pokemon may be caught off guard. While Life Orb whould have been a better pick, Leftovers and Rocky Helmet promote the effect that this pokemon is ment to sweep with Bulk Up and Moxie. Bulk Up takes the first move slot since this is what makes the set 'Bulky'. Brick Break and Crunch both provide very effective coverage and allow for TTar, Bisharp, Weavile, Gengar, Chandelure and non-bulky Rotom countering. Outrage may cause confusion after use but the fact that it provides a great Haxorus counter over looks that small detail. Earthquake provides powerful STAB against the likes of Emboar and Magnezone. Since Krookodile isn't as beffy or quick as other pokemon it does have its short commings. Focus Blast, Ice Beam, Surf and Energy Ball can literally crush Krookodile and physical threats like Scrafty and SuperPower TTar can OHKO. While these prove to be very threatening there are pokemon that provide great support. Jellecent, Celebi, Gengar, Heatran, Rotom appliances and Gyarados all provide some key support. Even Baton Pass Scizor, Ninjask and Umbreon along with Smeargle provide great stat boosts that help increase the odds of Krookodile being able to sweep.


Team Options:

Sandstorm, Baton Pass, Stall, Stall-Break and Sunny Day


Kyogre

Set Comments:

This set uses Water Spout to deal incredible damage to anything while Kyogre remains at high HP. Even when resisted it dishes out large damage if it is at full HP. Surf is when Kyogre has less HP. Thunder will always hit thanks to the rain Kyogre brings. It also has a good chance of paralyzing the opponent. Ice Beam is used to deal with Dragon-Types who resist Kyogre's other moves.


Team Options:

Kyogre helps teams that need a Pokémon that can destroy fast Pokémon. With Choice Scarf, it is able to accomplish this task well. It also changes the weather to rain. This activates several Pokémon's abilities. Hydration and Swift Swim are the biggest gems this activates. It also lets the team use Thunder without risking a miss while dealing out larger damage.


Kyurem

Set Comments:

Coming off a 130 base stat, Choice Band Outrage hits anything really hard. Its a 2HKO against almost anything in Ubers and OU. Forretress will take at least 3 hits, possibly 4 depending on EVs. Stone Edge takes Ho-Oh out which is a big threat to it otherwise. It also dents Lugia and Skymin. Draco Meteor is if you wanted to use a mixed set. In that case you would want to change to a Hasty Nature to make sure you hit with neutral power. Dragon Claw is if you wanted more sheer power. Shadow Claw allows it to hit Mewtwo and others for increased damage, but normally Outrage is the better option since STAB Outrage is a higher power.


Team Options:

Kyurem works best on a team that has at least Stealth Rock to gain KOs. Kyogre could be a useful Pokémon as a partner because the rain will make fire moves hurt less. It also functions as a special attacker to get rid of physical walls such as Forretress. Heatran also makes a great partner because it resists dragon moves and is immune to fire moves, two of Kyurem's weaknesses. Having a fast and powerful Pokémon that can take out Latios and Latias is important since it threatens Kyurem. Choice Scarf Garchomp is an excellent revenger as is Dialga. Dialga is a better option if you need to have more bulk on your team.


Kyurem

Set Comments:

Kyumeru's high Special Attack can also be abused with a Choice Specs. Draco Meteor is extremely powerful off a Choice Specs. It 2HKO's nearly everything. Dragon Pulse is when you need it to sweep instead of just revenge KO. Ice Beam is an alternative STAB attack, though it only covers Lugia. Hidden Power Fire is to cover steel types since they resist its main attacks. Focus Blast gives you large coverage, but it is not the highest accuracy move out there. Outrage could be used if you want help against Blissey. A Hasty nature is ran when you run Outrage on this set.


Team Options:

Groudon functions better as a partner for this set since it is using special attacks. Rock Polish in particular could work great. Dialga can work well because of its bulkyness and ability to revenge KO dragon Pokémon that are faster than Kyurem. Entry hazards are appreciated for the assistance in getting KOs. Forretress resists dragon attacks making it a good choice for the job.
