Recently I've been playing a lot of AG, and was wondering if you guys could offer any improvements. I got to around ladder 1500 but am getting walked every game.
Kyogre-Primal @ Blue Orb
Ability: Primordial Sea
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Origin Pulse
- Thunder
- Ice Beam
- Calm Mind
I use Kyogre-Primal for three main reasons:
1) Can take a Xearneas moonblast
2) Has a mind-numbing base 180 sp. atk stat that will annialate most pokes that don't have a good base sp. def
3) A switchin to a Groudon-Primal to take away Desolate Land and force a swap
Calm Mind is good if you can setup, and when you do you can take most sp. atk's from any poke.
Thunder always helps with the annoying evasion strat, and hits very hard on other water and flying types.
Origin Pulse is great as its main stab, and does massive damage.
Ice beam is a great way to kill any dragon type, especially Rayquazza.
Groudon-Primal @ Red Orb
Ability: Desolate Land
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Rock Polish
- Swords Dance
- Rock Slide
- Precipice Blades
I use this for the same reasons as Kyo-P.
1) Can take a Xerneas moonblast
2) Great base 180 atk
3) Great switchin for Kyo-P
Rock Polish helps Groudon get his meh speed up into the 400's, and SD boosts its attack into the stars.
Precipice Blades is a great stab that destroys most pokes if Grou-P had a SD up
Rock Slide kills all the pesky flying types that dodge the Blades.
Deoxys-Attack @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Superpower
- Ice Beam
- Psycho Boost
- Extreme Speed
Deoxys had a ridiculous attack, special attack, and speed, which takes down a ton of threats like Darkrai in one hit.
- Outspeeds Mega Ray with +1 in speed
- 1hko's Darkrai with Superpower
- Outspeeds mega and nonmega Blaziken with +1 in speed
- Revenge kills with ESpeed
- Tears through dragons with ice beam
Darkrai @ Life Orb
Ability: Bad Dreams
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dark Pulse
- Dark Void
- Nasty Plot
- Sludge Bomb
Darkrai is great for putting enemies to sleep, and without sleep clause, you can get to +6 and sweep an entire team by outspeeding and 1hko'ing everything. Sludge Bomb makes a massive dent in Xerneas and with a +2 will ohko.
Arceus @ Life Orb
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Recover
Arceus with just one SD up can tear through most of a team. I run recover instead of the regular Shadow Claw because after awhile, Life Orb damage racks up and it's good to have something to heal yourself with. Earthquake is a good offensive move to cover steels resist to Normal, and SD to boost its already great attack.
Rayquaza-Mega @ Life Orb
Ability: Delta Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Ascent
- Dragon Dance
- Extreme Speed
- Outrage
Mega Rayquaza is a insane
sweeper with crazy stats and move pool. Dragon Ascent will ohko anything that is weak to flying, and tons of things that it has regular effectiveness. ExtremeSpeed is good for revenge killing and for priority sweeping, ddance boosts its mediocre speed so that it outspeeds almost all pokes and outrage is a great stab that doesn't drop any stats.
Please leave suggestions below. Have a great day :)
