Physical overload with a steel anchor
Koraidon and Zacian force overlapping answers while Necrozma-Dusk-Mane supplies defensive utility and a separate setup route.
Smogon singles · High-power format
Gen 9 Ubers Team Builder
Ubers compresses games around extremely powerful attackers, weather, and limited defensive answers. A good roster does more than include legends: it controls Koraidon and Kyogre turns, protects its hazard plan, and keeps a second route when the first sweeper is checked.

Usage snapshot
Common high-ladder Pokémon
Usage comes from Smogon’s 2026-06, 1630-rating sample. It tells you what to prepare for; it does not turn the top six into an automatic team.
| # | Pokémon | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Koraidon | 67.98% |
| 2 | Kyogre | 45.10% |
| 3 | Zacian | 43.14% |
| 4 | Ho-Oh | 27.91% |
| 5 | Necrozma-Dusk-Mane | 27.17% |
| 6 | Arceus | 26.57% |
| 7 | Lunala | 21.06% |
| 8 | Eternatus | 19.99% |
Core ideas
Start with interactions, not a top six
KyogreHo-OhArceus
Weather pressure with flexible support
Kyogre breaks through rain, Ho-Oh checks key attackers and pivots, while the Arceus forme should patch the remaining matchup rather than duplicate coverage.
LunalaEternatusKoraidon
Resilient pivots into immediate speed
Lunala and Eternatus absorb different pressure points so Koraidon can enter on controlled turns instead of being used as the only emergency check.
Build check
Answer four questions before export
- Prepare distinct Koraidon and Kyogre answers.
- Decide how hazards stay up against Ho-Oh teams.
- Keep a revenge-kill route after opposing Tera.
- Do not depend on one Arceus forme for every defensive job.
FAQ
Format questions
Is every legendary legal in Ubers?
No. Ubers is permissive, not rule-free. Always validate the exact species, forme, ability, move, and item against the current format.
Why is Koraidon so central?
Its June 2026 usage was 67.98% in the pinned sample, reflecting its speed, immediate damage, sun support, and multiple viable sets.
Should an Ubers team use only restricted Pokémon?
No. Lower-tier utility Pokémon can earn a slot when they provide hazards, speed control, removal, or a specific matchup more efficiently.
