Spooky (Giratina) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 248 Def / 8 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Calm Mind
- Shadow Ball
- Aura Sphere
A good set I found on this website.

Hi Xerneas (Zygarde) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Aura Break
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Thousand Arrows
- Dragon Tail
- Iron Tail
- Extreme Speed
Mainly a Xerneas (or also Yveltal) lure. With Aura Break and AV, those Moonblasts won’t be doing as much, while Zygarde can hit them back with an Iron Tail.
(I’m open to suggestions for this set, since I don’t think it’s too good.)

Raspberry (Excadrill) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Mold Breaker
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Iron Head
Lead Excadrill set.

Xerneass (Xerneas) @ Life Orb
Ability: Fairy Aura
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Moonblast
- Horn Leech
- Close Combat
- Rock Slide
Yes, a mixed Xerneas set, because I refuse to use power herb Geomancy. It also has some decent physical moves and the same base 131 Attack and Special Attack, so why not utilize it?

Jazzy (Gengar-Mega) @ Gengarite
Ability: Shadow Tag
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sludge Bomb
- Taunt
- Shadow Ball
- Dazzling Gleam
A trapper.

Sky Noodle (Rayquaza) @ Flyinium Z
Ability: Air Lock
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Ascent
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
Run-of-the-mill Rayquaza set, but I added Waterfall specifically for P-Groudon. (On most P-Don sets, it’s a guaranteed OHKO at +1 Atk, and at least a 50% chance to OHKO at +0 Atk.)

Please leave feedback! Thank you!

I don't see a dedicated Lead being good in Ubers; especailly when that lead is Excadrill. Arceus can do nearly everything Excadrill can do and is reusable, as Arceus is far Bulkier and can carry Defog, Stealth Rock, Recover, and a Damaging Move. :P

I don't see Zygarde being a good Xerneas Lure:

252+ Atk Zygarde Iron Tail vs. 0 HP / 168 Def Xerneas: 176-208 (44.7 - 52.9%) -- 22.3% chance to 2HKO

You only kill Xerneas if you succeed a 22.3% chance and two 75% chances that Iron Tail Doesn't miss. A good lure shouldn't have to rely on god-awful RNG prayers. :P
If you want ti counter Xerneas, use a Specailly Defensive Haze Toxapex as a defensive option or Swords Dance/Rock Polish/Both Dusk Mane Necrozma. :P

While I'm not one to say Physical Xerneas is bad, the other Physical attackers in Ubers are far better than Xerneas, and Geomancy is one of the few Reasons Xerneas is used at all as a Viable Specail attacker, so you'd be better off not using Xerneas than using physical Xerneas. :P

I think the problem with having Waterfall is that While it does Kill Pdon faster, that is all it does, and Earthquake already Kills Pdon; conversely, you kill every dragon type Slower and with Dragon Ascent, which, even with a Z-Nuke, may leave you open to All of the priority attackers in the tier after lowering your Defense once:

252+ Atk Life Orb Dark Aura Yveltal Sucker Punch vs. -1 0 HP / 0 Def Rayquaza: 359-422 (102.2 - 120.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
/
+1 252+ Atk Rayquaza Dragon Ascent vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Zygarde: 304-358 (72.3 - 85.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Choice Band Zygarde Dragon Claw vs. -1 0 HP / 0 Def Rayquaza: 588-692 (167.5 - 197.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Zygarde Thousand Arrows vs. -1 0 HP / 0 Def Rayquaza: 331-390 (94.3 - 111.1%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Zygarde Extreme Speed vs. -1 0 HP / 0 Def Rayquaza: 196-231 (55.8 - 65.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
/
+1 252+ Atk Choice Band Technician Marshadow Shadow Sneak vs. -1 0 HP / 0 Def Rayquaza: 385-454 (109.6 - 129.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Dragon Claw or Extreme Speed helps this problem, so I recommend using one of them. :P
