Gen 4 Uber ladder is back on Pokemon Showdown for this month. I always wanted to try out old generations, specially the ones without no team preview. I'm decent battler in gen 1-4 OU. But I never got a chance to play in old gens uber tier. But I finally got a chance to play in one and I did better than I thought I'd do.
Team:
Mew @ Lum Berry
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Explosion
- Taunt
- Fire Punch
Mew is my suicide lead. Fire Punch can 2HKO Forretress and useful for breaking focus sash. Against Deoxys I just press Explosion t1 as they are going to Taunt me anyway. Lum Berry is useful against Darkrai and Ho-oh lead.
Dialga @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Roar
- Dragon Pulse
- Thunder
I'm running offensive Dialga's EV with a defensive Dialga's movepool. It catches my opponent off guard. Nobody expects a Stealth Rock Dialga do more than 30% to opposing Defensive Dialga. Roar prevents Soul Dew Latios to set up. Its also useful to counter Baton Pass team (Taunt Mew is a pain in the ass however)
Kyogre @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Surf
- Water Spout
- Thunder
- Ice Beam
Kyogre is a beast. Other than Dialga, Palkia, Lati twins nothing wants to switch to Kyogre. (Lati twins has to worry about Ice Beam). Water Spout at full hp hits like truck. You probably don't even have to predict much as Water Spout does more than 30% damage to Palkia (4x resist lol)
Kabutops @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
- Superpower
If Dragons are chipped a bit then all it needs for a clean sweep is a safe SD boost. It outspeeds everything in rain except Scarf Garchomp. Waterfall + Stone Edge is obvious stab and Superpower is only for Dialga. It has to worry about Rayquaza because of it's ability
Ludicolo @ Leftovers
Ability: Rain Dish
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Ice Beam
- Substitute
My Dialga is not running any defensive EVs hence can't switch to Kyogre more than once. Ludicolo is great at chipping health with Leech Seed + Protect. It literally bullies slow Jirachi lmao. (and Bronzong too). Ice Beam can hit Dragons on switch. Its a great Garchomp check as well
Rayquaza @ Choice Band
Ability: Air Lock
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Outrage
A mid game wallbreaker with a powerful priority move. Its ability Air Lock is useful for stopping other Kabutops/swift swim users. Outrage is used at late game to clean up / do as much as damage as possible. Otherwise, Dclaw is the preferred move
