My best friend is a Pokemon player but he thinks his Uber team is epic and brilliant but tbh it is KRAP!!!
So I hatched an idea. He loves his Ubers because he thinks they can only be beaten by other Ubers so I am planning to smack him with an OU team that will beat him by actually being smart. I also can't use non-Uber legendaries because he will accuse them of being Uber even if they suck like Regigigas.
Because he has no idea he doesn't use weather effects or entry hazards. He actually has about three non-offensive moves in his whole team I think. Anyway this isn't about his team it is about mine to beat him with.
He likes Double battles so keep that in mind. And he chooses to ignore all clauses.

Stealth Rock
My friend doesn't have taunt on anything and favours Sp. Att so this is a safe opener in a double battle. It sets up stealth rock which is necessary if I am going to take out his Zapdos late game. He also doesn't have any rapid spinners. I'm not even sure if he knows what an entry hazard is.
Safeguard helps if Primeape gets slaughtered by the second pokemon once Darkrai is out. This is a very safe Pokemon until Palkia comes out.

Bullet Punch

Roost
He has seen this with baton pass instead of roost and he hated it. He will be looking for the baton pass and will probably try and concentrate all attacks on it. The only thing he can actually use on this is Dialga. If he brings that out then I will swap for one of the other pokes. Probably Breloom if I think he thinks I will be baton passing to a counter in which case he will probably use dragon claw. He usually leads with Mewtwo and this takes it down with ease.

Mr. Darkrai Counter himself. This guy is specially designed to take out my friends pride and joy. A perfect speed Darkrai that runs Dark Void / Psychic / Dark Pulse / X-scissor. Weird moveset I know but that is what it has and he loves it. He swept a smart person's brilliant team with it once. i am going to show him that it can be beaten. By a non-OU no less. It does it's job abd maybe revenges if it doesn't get knocked out after it has done it's job. It needs the speed to kill Darkrai before it can be knocked out. It is a revenge killer and can't do it any other way. It comes in. Darkrai Psychics. Primeape hangs on and kills with CC. Then it has a set that can take advantage or only 1HP if for some reason the second pokemon doesn't kill it once Darkrai dies.

This is the only Pokemon I got straight off Smogon and it should do it's job of taking out whatever is left when all my specialised Pokemon have done their job. Pretty simple really. It is also one of the Dialga counters. Problem is if Zapdos is in. That Zapdos does have drill peck. But I have a good relaible Zapdos Counter so it should be long dead by then.

Yup. A water typed Zapdos counter that can also sweep. Ice beam 1HKOs Zapdos every time so long as it has at least 20% damage. Then it can procede to damage whatever else is on the field. Hydro Pump had to be picked because it is a double battle. Not much here except working out what nature. I lack a special sweeper so this does the job. It was originally being raised as a counter to whatever is his varying 6th Pokemon. tyranitar was originally in the team and had to be taken out due to Primeape so I found myself facing an unbeatable Zapdos so Starmie got changed a fair bit.

Sadly I need to confuse myself to take out his Palkia but on the plus side I will probably end up destroying whatever swaps in. I had to find a Palkia killer and Dragon is its weakness. Next step was to find something to do the job. Kingdra would have worked if it wasn't OHKOed by like every Uber STAB dragon attack. Gyarados was the one that offered what I needed in the best way.
Ok so that is my current team planned to take out his ubers.
His 5 staples are:
Mewtwo
Zapdos
Dialga
Palkia
Darkrai
The other poke can be almost any other Uber except Manaphy. he has been favoring Giratina-O lately but when that got smashed with my BP Scizor he started to think twice about it.
