Wobbuffet also has the ability to use Tickle if you wish to easily eliminate a wall. With Encore, Wobbuffet turns any Pokemon into setup bait for a teammate, or condemns it to certain death via Mirror Coat or Counter.
UBER POKEMON SHOWDOWN TEAM FREE
This means that Wobbuffet and Wynaut can switch into any Pokemon freely, using their gigantic HP stats to sponge hits, and are free to use either Mirror Coat or Counter to kill the opposing Pokemon, or more importantly, use Encore. Their unique ability, Shadow Tag, allows them to trap any Pokemon in the game (besides other Wobbuffet and Wynaut) unless they are holding a Shed Shell or can use Baton Pass or U-turn. Why then, you may ask, are these Pokemon considered Uber? Wobbuffet and Wynaut are Uber because they have the power to let any Pokemon in the game set up freely, or kill at least one of the opponents Pokemon with ease. Wobbuffet and Wynaut seem to defy the description above they have poor stats in everything but HP, and learn a mere 8 moves. It does not matter if it is one Uber and five Magikarp it is still an Uber team, and therefore is banned from standard play.

If any Uber Pokemon is present on a team, it is automatically an Ubers team. Uber Pokemon generally have extremely large movepools and very high Base Stats when compared to OU Pokemon. In Ubers, a strategy or Pokemon may appear to be broken this doesn't matter as Ubers is essentially a ban list for OU, and nothing is currently too broken to be used in Ubers. Uber status is determined by this factor alone it does not matter if a Pokemon is worthless in the Ubers tier, or if it is outclassed by anything already in Ubers. What makes a Pokemon Uber?Ī Pokemon is considered Uber if it is too powerful to be reasonably handled within the bounds of the standard metagame. The following Pokemon are considered Uber: Darkrai, Deoxys, Deoxys-A, Deoxys-D, Deoxys-S, Dialga, Garchomp, Giratina, Giratina-O, Groudon, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Latias, Latios, Lugia, Manaphy, Mew, Mewtwo, Palkia, Rayquaza, Salamence, Shaymin-S, Wobbuffet, Wynaut, and Arceus. After reading this guide, you should be familiar with the unique and powerful sweepers found in Ubers so that, when you are face to face with one, you will be able to respond appropriately without panicking. This guide aims to teach you the tips and tricks of the Ubers metagame. This translates into Uber Pokemon being a lot more dangerous, and is why prediction and quick thinking are crucial when playing Ubers. Uber Pokemon tend to pack a lot more power than Pokemon in standard play, as well as larger movepools. People might think Ubers isn't worth a try because they believe it takes no skill, but this is far from the truth as Ubers matches are filled with prediction and strategy. However, if you give Ubers a shot, you may find that it is a fun and enjoyable metagame. The Ubers metagame is almost a forgotten metagame, due to the fact that many experienced and new players alike think it easier to play the Overused tier.
