Alright doodes my teammates and I are having a Pokémon tourney and I was looking for some input. More specifically this is for the individuals who are aware of Smogon rules and regulations for Gen 6 Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Which Pokémon did you find to be successful on your teams? Why?


Note; Only Mega ubers from the uber list are allowed


If you have any other questions about the game(s), please feel free to ask!

no no no sorry, I meant of the uber list only the Mega forms are allowed. All others lists are fair game.

Let me make sure I know what you're looking for.

You're looking for our personal preference for any tier, and if that tier happens to be Ubers, you only want our opinions on the Megas in that tier?

I don't play competitively. I don't want to put much thought into a game when I don't need to.

lol Mega Rayquaza is banned from Ubers, aka Anything Goes (AG)

Edit: Pokemon such as Mega Sceptile, Mega Altaria, and Mega Lopunny aren't in Ubers, they were sent to BL3

I haven't even got my starter yet.... but anyways I figure P. Kyorge would be better for it's rain support, and rain seems to be the best weather imo.

Mega Rayquaza was so overpowered, that it actually got banned from Ubers... Ubers is a tier now, because it has 50 Pokemon (56 Pokes is standard OU number so they're getting close and should usurp that come next Gen). And Rayquaza is now the only Pokemon in "Anything Goes". Gamefreak is crazy.

Kyogre's Primal ability doesn't stay forever it disappears when it's not on the field, but Drizzle from regular Kyogre stays 5 turns

Weather as a whole is pretty trash nowadays ever since it got nerfed in sixth Gen. Primal Groudon is much better than Primal Kyogre anyways because of superior physical bulk and the Pokemon it supports in Ubers is much better now. Now that Kyogre's niche of incessant drizzle spam is over, it hasn't been the same.

Well you would need to if you wanted to be better than the average 6th grader.
Lol, I bought a 3DS to play X/Y because I haven't played a Pokemon game since I was a kid and I really enjoyed them. Anyways, I learned that there was so much to competitive playing and I tried to get into it but building a team good enough was so time consuming, and repetitive so I just gave up. I see nothing wrong with playing at the level of a 6th grader.

Well playing at the level of a 6th grader implies you have no basic knowledge of intricate game mechanics, and probably don't even know about the Physical and Special Attack split. Competitive Pokemon is actually incredibly complex and it involves a lot of clever prediction, time into team building, and many other factors. People think Pokemon is for kids, but then don't even begin to realize how much mental fortitude is needed for competitive battling.

Haha, I don't think so. I didn't play much of XY after the Mega Lucario ban. Just came back for ORAS. I'm getting AS tomorrow, so remind me to send you my FC when I get it.

Cool. I'll try to remember. I have one of each pokemon in the dex, (yes. literally one of each pokemon in every evolution chain) so I have the national dex done already. So let me know if you need anything badly.

Considering I want to play competitive really badly in this installation, you'll have me on your ass a lot. XD
