Overpowered level strength doesn't matter when the rest of the competition is also overpowered. Smogon's Uber tier of Pokemon competitive 🌠battling has overpowered box art Legendaries across the board, so you can't have high base stat totals and expect to be the best.
More than in any other tier arguably, little intricacies like type matchups, stat distribution, abilities, and having a few more moves in your arsenal matter when competing in Ubers. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:These Legendary Pokemon went beyond being better than other Pokemon at large, and have become the leaders of the leaders of the pack, thanks to all those aspe൲cts.
15 Dialga
The Diamond and Brilliant Diamond mascot is a 150 Special Attack offensive machine, while also boastin🎃g one of the be🌊st defensive type combinations out there. It's one of the Uber tier's best options for a Choice Specs wallbreaker.
Unfortunately, there are a few things holding it back from being truly great in Ubers. It lacks a solid STAB Steel-type attack, its best option probably being the mediocre 80 base pow💝er Flash Cannon. It also lacks a bit in Speed and doesn't have a spectacular ability to put it over the hump.
14 Mewtwo
A 154 Special Attack monster, the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:pure Psychic-type Mewtwo is at its best beating the Uber tier's walls with brute force. With a wide movepool and access to Nasty Plot for setting up,൩ Mewtwo is rarely not an offensiv📖e threat.
That said, there are similar Pokemon in the tier that arguably do its job better, like Shadow Rider Calyrex. One wrong move can put it to bed with its belඣow-average defenses, and it's difficult to switch in without the hel👍p of a pivot.
13 Lunala
It's not the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Psychic/Ghost-type to watch out for in Ubers, but Lunala is a threat in its own right. It's definitely better than Shadow Rider Calyrex defe♍nsively, especially since it has the Shadow Shield ability that halves damage taken at full HP.
Its 137 Special At♌tack is no joke, either, especially when it has the movepool it has. It's gotten equal usage as both a defensive utility Pokemon and a wallbreaker. The one relative weakness that holds it back is its mediocre 97 Speed, which isn't bad, but lags behind most of the Uber-tier's strongest.
12 Lugia
Having the Multiscale ability automatically makes you one of the meta's best walls, and Lugia has that alℱong with excellent defensive stats. Its typing leaves it vulnerable to the tier's many Ghost- and Dark-type offensive threats, but it can otherwise be relied on to take a hit or two.
Move-wise, it's at its best playing support, with Toxic, Whirlwind, and Defog being solid options. Toxic is a particularly important move, being its best option for significant damage since it doesn't have excellent attacking stats. Still, it has access to a few attacking moves, best used 🍒in a pinch.
11 Eternatus
Eternatus is a two-way threat, having the offensive stats to deal big damage and good defensive type matchups against most of the meta's biggest threats. Being 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the only Poison-type Legendary can be pretty helpful when the Fairy-type Xerne🍸as is the one to beat꧋.
The 145 Special Attack and 130⛦ Speed are usually put to use with Sludge Bomb and the signature Dynamax Cannon. The remaining two moveslots are best occupied by your choice of Flamethrower, a viable coverage option for Steel-types, Recover for healing, and/or Toxic for long-term chip damage.
10 Groudon
Generation Eight's Uber tier has a quintessential Gr🧸ound-type option: the god of the land itself. With its 150 Attack and great physical bulk, Groudon's a fantastic wallbreaker for leaving the tier's Steel-types shaking in their boots.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Its signature Precipice Blades, whi💛le not as accurate as a regular Earthquake, pack a big, 120 base power punch. Not to mention, the sunlight from its Drought ability could potentially soften any Water-type blows, or set up for one of the tier's Fire-types, like Ho-Oh or Reshiram. It can learn Stealth Rock, too.
9 Palkia
The Water/Dragon-type Legend𒐪ary of Sin𓃲noh has had long-standing dominance as one of the Uber-tier's best wallbreakers, boasting 150 Special Attack and an excellent pool of STAB attacking moves. Hydro Pump and the signature Spacial Rend are a potent one-two punch.
It's also solid defensively, working as one of the tier's best defensive checks for Kyogre thanks to its typing and 120 Special Defense stat. That said, it's only really goo𓆏d against Pokemon it matꦛches up well against type-wise, since it doesn't have access to any special set-up moves.
8 Rayquaza
Without the Mega Evolution to bring it beyond U꧂bers into the fabled Anything Goes tier, Rayquaza is still amazing offensively, if a bit high-maintenance. Its 95 Sꦓpeed sticks out quite a bit as a weakness, especially when paired with its mediocre defenses.
Regardl꧃ess, all it needs is a chance to set up, having access to Dragon Dance. From there, it has its choice of massive attacking moves, such as STAB Draco Meteor, signature STAB Dragon Ascent, the 180 base power V-create, and a priority mꦍove in Extreme Speed.
7 Ho-Oh
Like many Fire/Flying-types, Ho-Oh♕ got a gigantic buff with the introduction of the Heavy Duty Boots, a held item that takes care of its crippling weakness to Stealth Rock. The Generation Two Legendary can now be at its best, especially defensively.
Its resistance to Fairy and Fighting, and immunity to Ground𒈔, are so valuable in the meta with Xerneas, Groudon, Marshadow, and Zygarde causing a lot of trouble in the tier. Its ability to he💜al up with Regenerator makes it even harder to kill long-term. Offensively, it has a 130 Attack stat as well,
6 Zygarde
On paper, Zygarde might look like a slower 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:version of Garchomp, but it's m♌uch, much more than that. Espe🧔cially with its Power Construct ability, Zygarde has the bulk to deal with Ubers' best physical threats, as well as the potential to either play utility or set-up sweeper.
It has a great support movepool with Toxic, Dragon Tail, and Glare, and an even better attack pool with its signature moves, Thousand Arrows and S꧑cale Shot, and either Dragon Dance or Coil for setting up. It's a bit slow, though, and there's always the prospect of OHKO-ing it before Power Construct activates.
