How often do you encounter ubers?

I find them quite often, though a majority of them know what they are doing.

I use some of them, as well. I see nothing wrong with them.
I mean, if they exist, they're obviously there to be used.

I've been running into A LOT of Arceus ever since Saturday btw. About two per team.

Ubers are all over the place. Garchomp and Tyranitar mostly. Some know what theyre doing,and some dont.

Let's stop crying.
You need to open your minds, free your thoughts.

So, now everyone who plays Pokémon must know and follow Smogon decisions?
"Oh, if you don't play standard, you're a cheater (sigh)"
C'mon.
There are all sorts of people playing. You'll soon see people who don't use "ubers". But the uber users also may play. PRB is for them too.

Now that Arceus is available by a legit means...get used to it.

T-tar isn't Uber.

I have a team of mostly UU pokes that is an Explosion team. It seems to own every Uber team i encounter on random Wi-Fi.

I haven't faced an uber free team in a long while, I don't disagree with them being used, but I get annoyed when I'm constantly facing Darkrais Dark Void, its a noob tactic and it seems that every team with a Darkrai in it falls to pieces as soon as its taken out. But I did get great pleasure when my Shuckle single handedly took out a Groudon, Giratina and Darkrai using nothing more than double team, toxic and rest.

I don't use ubers myself mainly because I haven't got many good ones and I can't be bothered to train them up when they're illegal in a proper battle. There's nothing wrong with ubers so long as they're not your only option, if all you've got to put up a half decent fight with is legendaries and ubers then you don't deserve to own a pokemon game.

Lately I've run into many Arceus on one team. I don't have a problem with the Pokemon, partly because PBR blocks those with EVs. But I hate how when people send out two at a time, you can't tell which is which type. When you target it, all it says is "Arceus". One thing the DS does better than PBR is make it 100% clear which Pokemon is which.

Personally I have 2 teams with "ubers" that I bring online whenever I get the chance, but when I lose it's generally to teams full of Pokemon not restricted by the battle tower. And usually they're Japanese trainers. Unfortunately most people that use a lot of legendaries don't know what they're doing, but a select few are quite good.

Don't say it like that. I don't care if I find legends everywhere and all over the place; I'm not that kind of person. I was just mentioning it ;)
In fact, I use my own ubers. They're so awesome :D

Anyway, the only thing that bugs me is when people come at me with multiple Darkrai and whatever, and cheat their ubers to be shiny with all perfect IV's.

I seem to be seeing more and more ubers every day.

I see them quite often, actually. It doesn't bug me terribly, though I still dislike seeing cheap teams made up of at least half Legendaries. I do end up seeing a lot of other ubers, too, though usually my Electivire or Starmie can wipe 'em out.

uber teams: always maybe 4/5 i hate them!!!! theyre always with dialga palkia, so annoying, and way back when i encountered a dialga with water absorb, is that even possible with an action replay even.. stupid ubers

i never encounter the rental passes maybe 1/25

Same. I'm okay seeing one or 2 on a pass, but as soon as I see a Darkrai I'm annoyed. It takes no skill to know it's going to Darkvoid (i play doubles, so its horrible). Even with my Rest-talker, I struggle with them (idiot always talks rest -_-). And come Monday it'll be worse. I'm making a counter for them right now though.
 
I still come across uber teams half the time, I usually don't mind but all the Arceus and Darkrai I see become boring and irritating after a while. I do know I'm going to have to get use to it, especially when Darkrai is released on the third.

As usual I'm unlucky finding ubers on Wi-Fi. I've had about 30 random PBR Wi-Fi battles in the last week and only 3 teams have had any ubers at all. And only one of them had an Arceus in it.

I want to fight ubers. ;_;

Ugh, when I see a Darkrai, I know I am going to lose. But people with ubers, most of the time they just use raw power and no strategy. Never saw an Arceus though.

darkrais are pretty easy to handle.
Just need a fast pokemon that hit hard.
or target it with fake out and use another party pokemon to KO it

best is give the trainer a taste of his or her own medicine
put the darkrai to sleep 1st!
