I think Eggy was a mistyping by him, as B is the better (and suggested) placement, But it is not as One-dimensional as you think and can Stall out every pokemon in the tier while in sun (Besides Deoxys-S)I think Groudon isnt quite S material as he isnt as overbearing as the other S-Mons. Kyogre, Lati@s as well as Deo-A have ways to overcome all of their counters whereas Groudon struggles versus a bigger group of Mons.
Eggy is overrated and shouldnt be in A. One-dimensional and hard to pull of a sweep. Jirachi should be in A. Gengar needs to be on the list as well as Magneton and Dugtrio. Magneton/Trio can trap most of the Lati@s-counters so that makes them instantly good. Idk about Deo-S/D in A they are good but most of the time youd rather run Deo-A instead and if you try to abuse their qualities (Spiker in both cases) Forry does the same job while still having defensive capabilities.
Metagross, Skarm, TTar deserve to be on this list too as well as Shedinja and Ludicolo.
Anyways while reading this thread i saw Asterat make a okayish looking list that just needs some finetuning so start with that?
Ever faced SubSeed Eggy in sun? its fucking impossible to beat without priority, Roar or Kyogre/T-tar to fix weatherEggy doesnt really outstall everything.... and to be honest weather based teams are kinda rare in ADV Ubers because most of the abusers cant abuse the weather aswell and lack something. They are good just not very common and kinda gimmicky and ive played a good amount of ADV Ubers. To be honest when building a team i dont even really consider those weather-abusers as threats and theyll be naturally covered as well while you try to keep other Mons in check.
''Choice Band Trapinch can come in after Deoxys-A kills something and use Quick Attack, unless it's using Choice Band ExtremeSpeed, in which case Trapinch dies even with max Defense.''I'm not super familiar with the gen 3 Ubers meta, but the R/S article for Deoxys-A always felt really bizarre to me. Right off the bat- "The absolute best cleaner in the game. Absolute best. Nothing stops Deoxys-A"- it sounds like this Pokemon is a nigh unstoppable monster that's mandatory on every single team. Is it really so overwhelmingly strong that players have to resort to gimmicky crap like Arcanine, Swellow, and (wtf?) Dodrio just to have some semblance of a reliable counter? Do people really not use Pokemon like defensively bulky Kyogre or Ho-oh to tank through the Choice Band set?
The analysis is a bit outdated (obviously), but yeah Deoxys-A pretty much is that good. You pretty much need a Skarm/Deo-D/Groudon/Pursuiter to check it well.I'm not super familiar with the gen 3 Ubers meta, but the R/S article for Deoxys-A always felt really bizarre to me.
