Ubers Groudon

[Marnie]

Groudon @ Lum Berry / Life Orb
Ability: Drought
EVs: 100 HP / 252 Atk / 156 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Rock Polish
- Swords Dance
- Precipice Blades
- Stone Edge

Double Dance Groudon makes for an earth-shattering wallbreaker and sweeper, creating tremors in Ubers! STAB Precipice Blades backed up by Stone Edge forms a strong and unresisted combination, specifically threatening the tier's omnipresent Big Three of Eternatus, Necrozma-DM, and Yveltal. Its natural bulk and Thunder Wave immunity grant ample setup opportunities, with Lum Berry to shrug off other status moves such as Lunala’s Will-O-Wisp, Landorus-T’s Toxic, and Zygarde's Glare. Alternatively, Life Orb's power boost guarantees the OHKO on Choice Scarf Yveltal after Stealth Rock, preventing its Foul Play, and gives significant odds to OHKO defensive Zygarde at +2 to stop Power Construct from activating. Dedicated leads like Aerodactyl, Shuckle, and Slurpuff provide entry hazard support: Sticky Web in particular slows down Choice Scarf Calyrex-S, which would otherwise revenge kill Groudon even at +2. Due to sharing similar checks with other offensive teammates like Marshadow, Zygarde, and Zekrom, Groudon can wallbreak early-game for them. Alternatively, they can overwhelm the likes of Zygarde-C, Lunala, and Landorus-T, respectively, for Groudon to sweep instead.

I would add a line about potential teammates who can help wear down Groudon's checks to be in range of Groudon, or who appreciate Groudon chipping them into range, letting Groudon pick between breaking and sweeping depending on the team matchup. Mons like Marshadow, Zygarde and Zekrom would be good options to mention for this given the overlap in checks.

QC 1/1.
