It can even take advantage of its enormous bulk to run a decent Calm Mind set and try to sweep. All in all, Omastar can be devastating if you are good at predicting.Īccess to a Ghost-typing, dual base 120 Defenses, a gigantic base 150 HP stat combined with valuable resistances to Water-, Fire-, Electric-, and Grass-type moves makes Giratina the bulkiest spin blocker in the game! This allows it to run both a physically defensive set that can wall Ho-Oh lacking Life Orb and specially defensive spread that allows it to become one of the few Pokemon that can absorb Kyogre's Rain and Choice Specs boosted Water Spout! Its walling capabilities ensure that no team is disappointed with its performance. Finally, though Omastar isn't useless in sand due to the special defense boost it gets there, it really needs rain to be up to pose a significant threat. Its mediocre typing gives it undesirable weaknesses to Electric, Fighting, Grass, and Ground type moves, making it easy to kill Omastar if you can get a hit on it. Bluffing a revenge kill is also an option, though this requires the opponent to switch out, which will not always happen. However, getting off a Smash is not always easy, as it usually needs to come in on a choice-locked Ice Beam or Fire Blast. If it gets off a smash in the rain and Omastar has hazard support, it can sweep entire teams. Shell Smash gives Omastar a way to double its Special Attack and Speed. Its Rock typing also allows it to win one on one with ExtremeKiller Arceus so long as rain is up. A Modest Omastar can outrun and OHKO Mewtwo and Darkrai with Surf or Hydro Pump, and Shaymin-S with Ice Beam. Omastar is a very dangerous Pokemon in Ubers, thanks to its powerful ability Swift Swim. Though running Deoxys-S often means that the user will essentially begin each match down 5-6, this should not discourage players from using Deoxys-S, as despite its faults, it has the ability to reliably fulfill its role (clutter the battlefield with shit), and if the hazards do their job, they will usually more than make up for the deficit. Furthermore, a plethora of support options, including Magic Coat, Taunt, Thunder Wave, Trick and Fire Punch allow it to get past some of its conventional checks/counters, such as Forretress and set-up sweepers. Access to Stealth Rock and Spikes combined with its unrivaled speed tier mean Deoxys-S will often ensure that the opponent's Pokemon will pay dearly for every switch. However, Deoxys-S's fairly disappointing defenses and lack of offensive presence mean that it works best as a suicide lead (as any decently powerful move will knock it to its Focus Sash). They require little support to function and may have significant utility.ĭeoxys-S, armed with an excellent movepool and a blistering Speed stat, is an ideal lead for offensive teams seeking to quickly establish entry hazard support and then make use of offensive pressure to win the match. These Pokemon are typically the first to be considered to fulfill certain roles and have very little opportunity cost.
Reserved for Pokemon with impressive offensive or defensive capability. Kyogre is versatile and can still fill other roles as well, such as a paralysis lure or a bulky RestTalk set. Answers to one Kyogre set might not stack up well against other Kyogre sets, and every team needs answers to both Scarf and Specs.
Kyogre can also act as a capable revenge killer and cleaner with a Choice Scarf set. Kyogre can act as a potent wallbreaker with a Choice Specs set Water Spout can OHKO or 2HKO a great number of Pokemon (even resists), and many stall teams will use Pokemon specifically to handle Choice Specs Kyogre.
Rain heavily influences the metagame, making Steel-types harder to kill, causing Thunder to be everywhere, enabling niche Pokemon such as Swift Swimmers, and empowering Kyogre's absurd Water Spout.
Kyogre's stats, movepool, and ability all make it a very influential Pokemon.
