Sub-berry will not work because of Sashed Caterpie.
Caterpie @ King's RockHahahaha! Finally, a set that cannot fail! Can. Not. Fail.
Arceus @ Steel Plate
Impish
252 HP/4 ATK/252 DEF
- Aerial Ace
- Hail
- Recover
Fuhohoho. Caterpie can't 4HKO with max attack/choice band, all crits Bug Bite. Simply Aerial Ace, Hail to remove Focus Bands from the equation, and Recover if neccessary. It's foolproof.
If caterpie is holding a King's Rock then there will be no Focus Band haxxing and Arceus could simply Extremespeed.Caterpie @ King's Rock
-String Shot
-Tackle
-Bug Bite
Turn 1 - String Shot.
Turn 2-12 - Bug Bite Critical Flinch.
Arceus needs Substitute as well.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean when you say "100 EV Cap". Does that mean that you can only give arceus 100 EV's (for all of it's stats)?? I've never trained an arceus (never really got into ubers), so I'm honestly not sure.Remember that in gen 4 Arceus has the 100 EV Cap. It would have to be 100/100/100/100/100/10 instead.
EDIT: This one is beaten by:
Mewtwo @ Leftovers
Specially Defensive
-Toxic
-Recover
Because Judgement never 2HKOs.
Even without the restriction, it is beaten by the same Mewtwo with Protect.Ah yeah, well I guess if it fails for that reason at least it can work for Gen V. I'm still thinking somebody's gonna point out something I've missed though :P
Fair enough, I still reckon it might be possible somehow though.Even without the restriction, it is beaten by the same Mewtwo with Protect.
Lol, that is hilarious.Caterpie @ Focus Band
-Bug Bite
Hang on with Focus Band every single time Deoxys attacks.
If Deoxys opens with Knock Off it can't beat this one 100%:
Caterpie @ BrightPowder
-Bug Bite
Knock Off misses and Caterpie 2HKOs with Bug Bite.
The thing is that Caterpie can survive an aerial ace while 2HKOing with Bug Bite even with tanga (as long as one of the 2 bug bites scores critical hit).Knock Off, and if it misses then Aerial Ace.
Shadow force goes through protect and detect and nullifies the protection until the end of the turn.Re-Edit: May have to scrap this, just realised I completely understimated Protect/Detect's ability to foil Shadow Force...
