Deoxys-Speed @ Mental Herb

Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Magic Coat

- Spikes
- Taunt

Xerneas @ Fairium Z

Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Geomancy
- Moonblast

I use Z Geomancy when I first send outXxerneas and then sweep with it. Deoxys is my hazard setter and can also stop others from preparing to sweep with Taunt if they're using moves like Calm Mind. Kyogre is an amazing Special Tank/Attacker and is really useful. Skill Link Mega Heracross deals a lot of damage and can take care of Pokémon hiding behind substitutes. Aggron has an amazing defence stat and can deal a lot of damage with no recoil thanks to Rock Head. Aegislash is my favourite as it can go from a tank to an attacker and back instantly, making it very strong.

Are you able to add descriptions for each Pokemon (as described in the RMT rules)? https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/rules
In particular, Aggron and Heracross are strange choices for Ubers.

Answer 1

Heracross is the main weakness: why use Pin Missile instead instead of Mega Horn? Even without Skill Link, Mega Horn still does more than Pin Missile. Psychic is a better option than Flash Cannon on Xerneas as it grants it coverage for Poison-types. Kyogre could also have Calm Mind instead of Protect to sweep and you could replace Spikes on Deoxys for Toxic.

Comments

* Heracross isn't even viable in Ubers, rather than suggesting a moveset change, you could have suggested to remove it. Marshadow is a far better Fighting-type Pokémon, and Bug-types aren't viable as a whole.
* Moves such as Thunder are overall better choices than either Psychic or Flash Cannon as Poison-types aren't common in the tier (bar Toxapex) and Moonblast deals with everything that Flash Cannon is supposed to hit.
* Spikes Deoxys-Speed is a great HO lead and Toxic is a rather niche option -- hazard stack is preferred over Toxic on these kind of builds.

Please have a certain grasp of the metagame before answering questions. Answers like this are frowned upon.

The answer also doesn't talk about how Aggron is an awful pokémon to use in Gen 7 Ubers (the only viable role I can see it playing is as a defensive tank in Mega- form, but there are WAY better alternatives for that without sacrificing the mega slot) and how Aegislash is out-classed in Ubers in every way, shape and form.

Oh. Thanks very much for the feedback. Swap out mega heracross for mega lucario?
Lucario @ Lucarionite  
Ability: Steadfast  
Shiny: Yes  
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe  
Jolly Nature  
- Bulk Up  
- Brick Break  
- Meteor Mash  
- Detect

Also ill think ill keep Aegislash. Ive found its ghost typing really useful against buffed up extreme speed users. Also kings shield is really useful for attackers.

What alternative should i use for aggron . Primal groudon?

---

Primal Groudon would work well with the team. It has all the things Aggron had: good defense, great attack, strong moves, nice ability. It has STAB super effective damage for at least 1 weakness each of your pokemon have. Plus no pokemon resist the combo of Precipice Blades, Fire Punch and Stone Edge, which are standard moves for it.

---

Fire Punch isn't a standard move for Groudon-Primal. Mixed offensive sets are much better.

---

You mean you should use flamethrower rather then fire punch

---

No -- Flamethrower is a niche option, too. Fire Blast is usually Groudon-Primal's preferred Fire-type STAB move.

---

I've just battled a lot Groudon-Primal with Fire Punch so I assumed that it's a standard move for it. Sorry.

---

@Dhairya Lol dw mate you need not apologise for that.

@OP Yes, Mega-Lucario is the premier mega along with Mega-Salamence in Ubers. Although the set you've suggested is weird, so go with this:
Lucario @ Lucarionite
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Meteor Mash
- Close Combat
- Bullet Punch
Also, if you're finding Aegilash's ghost typing useful against SD Arceus then use Marshadow instead. It outclasses Aegislash in every way; outspeeds Arceus, is immune to Extreme Speed and OHKOs it with Close Combat after Stealth Rock damage. Make sure to use Life Orb and not a Focus Sash on it tho.
And yes, Primal-Groudon works really well here. I suggest the DoubleDance set as its such a menace to deal with in Ubers and would go well in an HO:
Groudon @ Red Orb
Ability: Drought
EVs: 252 Atk / 100 SpD / 156 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Rock Polish
- Swords Dance
- Precipice Blades
- Stone Edge
Rocks isn't needed on Groudon here since you already have a lead.

Lava plume can burn.

@Aaaaaaaaa Lucario-Mega is niche and Gengar-Mega and Salamence-Mega are the premium Megas in USM Ubers. Mewtwo-Mega-Y is too but the latter two are more common.

---

@Cristal Maybach or you could use marshadow as a fighting type
