Ubers

[Bassoldier]

Does anyone know of a site that lists all the pokemon ubers, or know of them. I know Mewtwo, Latios/as, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Ho-oh, Lugia, Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina are ubers, what are the rest?

[Bullados]

Ubers = pretty much any Legendary, plus stuff that's broken.

RBY-era: Birds, Mew (?), Mewtwo
GSC-era: Dogs, Ho-oh, Lugia, Celebi, Wobbers with Leftovers
RSE-era: Regis, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Lati@s, Deoxys
DP-era: Psychics, Regis, Dialga, Palkia, Heatran, Giratina, Cresselia, Phione (?), Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus

Or anything that has more total base stats than Starters (525), without a significant drawback (such as Slaking). Wobbers with Leftovers is the single most broken Pokemon ever conceived, and is banned in every single tournament imaginable.

[Bassoldier]

Would dragonite, salamance, tyranitar, and Garchomp be considered ubers?

[Bullados]

Don't think so...

Honestly, I'm not up on competitive VG Pokemon. I'm pretty much TCG and VG speedrun only.

[FlameLucario12]

I think the best web site to find about pokemons is serebii.

[Dogod]

Why are wobbeffeuts with leftovers banned?

[Bullados]

Wobbers with Leftovers. With a good nature, it's impossible to knock that thing out. It has amongst the highest HPs in the game, and very good defenses. On top of that, its two attacks, Counter and Mirror Coat, both rely on the base damage of the attack that hits it, not the total amount of damage dealt to Wobbers.

Lol... Phione in Borderline.

[Jet 803]

All legendaries except for the following are ubers:

Zapdos
Articuno
Moltres
Raikou
Suicune
Entei
Regice
Registeel
Regirock
Azelf
Uxie
Mesprit
Jirachi
Celebi
Manaphy
Phione

Wobbuffet and Wynaut are also ubers.

[Bullados]

Mew is considered Uber?

[PsychoWard13]

Just for the versatility of the movesets, I guess...
Now that you mention it, I'm scratching my head at that one too.

[Jet 803]

Mew is considered Uber?

Yes. 100 base in all stats, Baton Pass with Rock Polish, Swords Dance and Nasty Plot, recovery in Roost, an obviously great movepool with the likes of Grass Knot, Aura Sphere, Stealth Rock, Thunder Wave, Explosion, Overheat, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, and Ice Beam. Pretty broken, really. =\

[Jet 803]

Oh yeah, Cresselia, Heatran and Regigigas aren't ubers either.

[PsychoWard13]

Wha... OH.
Thanks for pointing that one out, Jet.

I think Cresselia SHOULD be... She might have some destiny as an excellent wall. Or is her moveset not up to par?

[Bassoldier]

I don't think she has good enough attack/special attack

[Spidey_o]

Yeap! Mew is uber...

[PsychoWard13]

Well, she shouldn't have to if she's a WALL. :)

[Bassoldier]

Her moveset is pretty bad, and up against a houndoom she would have a very very hard time

[PsychoWard13]

Good point. Heck, against ANY darkie with decent atk/satk she would have a hard time. (honchkrow lawl ^.^)

So now we bring our attention to Regigigas: How useful is he?

I think there's definite possibilities with all that attack (not quite Rampardos or Deoxys, but hey) and I've thought of some interesting combos with that Slow Start ability... but what do you guys think?

[Bassoldier]

Idk, regigigas is defianatley a hard one to use, unless he had a move that puts the enemy to sleep, might be able to work...

[PsychoWard13]

Well ya, here's what I'm thinking.
You can either use trick room to get him up first
or moves like Avalanche and things like that. Most people, if they have a first-turner, attack first and most of the time you'll get the 2x damage.

But that much attack is just a waste. I see where you're going with sleep, but he doesn't learn one. Thunder Wave might work, though, with the Speed drop coming with paralysis...

[Bassoldier]

That'd kinda work, but it's a little too risky

[Jet 803]

Trick Room makes him faster but he still suffers the attack loss. Also, every time he switches out Slow Start resets itself, meaning he is not anywhere near an uber.
