This guy is now the most popular lead in the Uber metagame, utilizing a Custap Berry to get at least two layers of hazards along with the improved Sturdy which guarantees a survival for one turn vs an unexpected fire move or crit.

- Ice Beam
- Reflect
- Recover
- Whirlwind
I use this bulky Lugia to counter many physical threats and even as a check to pokemon i'm unsure of. No other pokemon can successfully deal with what Lugia can deal with.
Sets up reflect to help my team and phazes out opponents pokemon when i have entry hazards up.
I always like having a phazer on my team.

Modest
-Surf
-Thunder
-Ice beam
-Sleep talk
My teams weather changer. I find alot of teams in Gen 5 use Groudon and like the sunshine. Having two pokemon that are 4x weak to fire on my team made me lean towards Kyogore. Also he is a decent switch in to Mewtwo with his considerable bulk.
I run sleep talk just because i hate Darkrai that much.
This guy is also here to keep Reshiram in check as i don't run Chansey because i hate the pink blob and its big sister.

Careful
-Leech seed
-Stealth rock
-Power whip
-Toxic
My teams stealth rocker and Kyogore counter. Has Toxic to hit flyers(mainly Lugia) who avoid toxic spikes.
In the rain his fire weakness isn't so glaring, most hp fires will fail to OHKO.
I run shed shell over leftovers as leech seed provides recovery and i fear Chandelure.

Naughty
-Shadow sneak
-Draco meteor
-Earthquake
-Hidden power fire
My spin blocker for a lack of a better one :) Hits hard and i like shadow sneak because i'll take any help I can get vs Mewtwo.
Hidden power fire is still the best option vs Forry in the rain. Earthquake is there for Excadrill and random steel types.

-Earthquake
-Shadow claw
-Swords dance
This guy is just my insurance really. He has enough bulk with 252 hp evs to act as a check for alot of threats in a pinch and his priority is good for hitting sweepers that got away on me.
Late game he acts as a super finisher, if i've managed to wear down their physical wall then it's pretty much gg.
