Seeing as how PO doesn't change Arceus' type until after hazards damage, I think that Ice Arceus may not be too bad. Judgement+Thunder is pretty good coverage, although Heatran and Ho-oh in sun may give you trouble. I think Zap Plate is better though, as Timid Electric Arceus really only fears...

I prefer using Calm Mind on my ghost Arceus over Will-o-wisp. That way it makes a great late game sweeper and can easily set up on Forretress. Also, Arceus gets Cosmic Power. Is anyone else thinking of a super troll set along the lines of Arceus @ Iron Plate 100 HP / 0 Atk / 100 Def / 100 SpA /...

I've tried Rock Polish+ Amnesia passing on an Ubers Baton pass team, but I couldn't get past 1600 on the ladder (usually I'm ~1650). It works, but only once unless you trade Taunt for Softboiled, but it's usually not worth it. Since I was passing to a Scizor for Iron defense, I was still outsped...

Remember that Eruption Heatran must be Quiet, so you're not outspeeding even Scizor. Para support would be necessary in utilize Heatran at all given the absurd power of Uber's attacks. But, that gives you an excuse to invest in HP/(Sp)Def which might let it take some hits, allowing it to switch...

Unable to launch the application So, Shoddy stopped working for me awhile ago, but I was too busy with schoolwork to care. Now though, during spring break, I really want to start Shoddying again. The exception is: CouldNotLoadArgumentException[ Could not load file/URL specified: C:\Documents...

Even with a Scarf, speed Deoxys outspeeds you, and Taunt means you're useless. That's more or less reason enough to not use this lead. It fares pretty well against other leads, but Deoxys-e is still firmly the number 1 lead.

Before I begin, I want to say that "Theoremon" on Shoddy is me, not Theorymon. This lead Gallade can ensure Deoxys-e gets up only 1 layer and depending on your choice of moves defeat Dialga or let something set up on leads like Groudon and Forretress. You're sort of screwed against Shaymin-s...

I think you guys misunderstood. This set is not supposed to sweep. It belongs on a stall team, to check Kyogre and not be total Wobby bait (Scarf-kia) or Scizor bait (Latias). It takes Water Spout like a champ, never being 3hko'd, and can be a sleep absorber to help take out Darkrai, although a...

Aeroblast has only 8 PP. Pretty much half of all Ubers have Pressure. You're gonna run out of PP pretty quickly.

Ok, here's for an interesting set. Palkia@Leftovers Adamant (+Attk, -SpAttk) 252 HP 4 Spe 252 SpDef Bulk Up Outrage Rest Sleep Talk While this set seems extremely odd, it accomplishes many useful things (I bet there's a better EV spread). It takes 4 hits from a full health Specs Kyogre to ko...

Put a lum on Dialga, take out Deoxys-D, you shouldn't be wasting Trick Room turns not even setting up hazards. I suggest putting Aqua Tail on Palkia, as the point of using Trick Room is letting your sweepers get 252 Attk and 252 Sp Attk, not 252 HP. Otherwise, Blissey walls almost everyone on...

Love your use of nested parentheses, Jibaku, (I think it's awesome (really)). I definitely think it's a pretty good set, but almost demands either expert prediction to remove their steels or a Magnezone, who isn't that bad in Ubers (I'm looking at you, Forretress). Also, Bulk Up Palkia is...

But the its sub-par defenses are going to have to take a hit on the turns you Recover, and most Uber attackers can 2hko if Deoxys-e doesn't grab a few Cosmic Powers. Giving up Taunt is possible, but then it becomes Taunt fodder itself. Maybe if you Pursuit Mewtwo? @ultimifier if they are...

Well, the above set somewhat inspired me to create this new Deoxys-e set. Deoxys-e@Leftovers Calm (+SpDef, -Attk) 252 HP 128 SpDef 128 Def Taunt Toxic Cosmic Power Recover Obviously the EV's need a bit of tweaking, but with some Magnezone support, this thing is deceptively err... stallful...

In Ubers, momentum is everything. Also, many things can sweep at a moment's notice. I guess the best way to get better is to play, and learn from your mistakes. I became a 1400 within a month of starting Ubers (I wish I could say the same about OU). The learning curve is really steep, so you'll...
