@I Want Sex Hubby Nah, most people ran either Gastro or Palkia as Kyogre counters. Some tricky folks would occasionally Scarf Goth to try and trap a weakened Kyogre, but Kyogre needed to be pretty weakened for that to work. That was pretty much all Ubers had to work with, everything else was a soft counter. IIRC Pikachu had no business being used anywhere except NU, where it was an OK-ish nuke (more OK then most NFE mons at least).

@@frozenvoltz6739 Ehh, I'm no gen 5 ubers expert, but I'm pretty sure Palkia also did things besides countering Kyogre. Special Defensive Ferro does take a solid 40-50% from max special attack water spout or specs hydro pump, so while it does technically function as a counter, it needed to stay very healthy to do so. That's the thing about Kyogre though, resisting his water stab was generally not good enough because it just had so many multipliers going for it. You generally needed either a quad resist or an outright immunity to really dissuade it from just firing off water STAB.

I believe one of the most notorius top ladder defining team in ORAS OU was built based on the trio "Dugtrio, Mega Sableye, Shedinja" that relied on Sableye to control hazards, Dugtrio to trap things like Tyrannitar, and Shedinja to wall. (and talonflame, seismitoad, togekiss or other variants of teammates) The team was spammed so much that this is actually the first thing that came to mind when speaking of Shedinja competitvely. Later on though, Mega Sableye got banned several days before Sun Moon arrived, and Dugtrio got retroactively banned as well last year.

I've hacked a Magic Guard Shedinja before. It was surprisingly effective with Focus Sash, Endeavor, Pursuit, Shadow Sneak, and Bullet Punch lol. I may have actually traded out Shadow Sneak for Recycle. It went with a Wonder Guard Sableye that had a Lum Berry with Taunt, Dragon Dance, Phantom/Shadow Force, and Close Combat. Also on the team was a No Guard Ninjask with Scope Lens, Sheer Cold, Stone Edge (for Sturdy Shuckle), Sacred Fire (for Sturdy Skarmory/Fortress), and Dynamicpunch (for Sturdy Bastiodon). Also I had a really creative set for my little nephew. I gave him a Timid Mew with max SpAtk and max Speed. Its ability was Wonder Guard, and it had Air Balloon, Thunderbolt, Conversion, Calm Mind, and Psyshock. Now, this was in gen 5, so Conversion just changed the Pokemon to a random type out of its moves instead of whatever move is in the first slot. But, Conversion can't pick itself or any type that the user already is, so that only left Thunderbolt, so it'd make Mew Electric, and since it had an Air Balloon, it had no weakness. Very few things could beat it as long as he made sure to use Conversion on it right away. I also gave him a Sheer Force Mewtwo with Life Orb, Psychic, Flamethrower (for Bug), Shadow Ball (for Ghost), and Signal Beam (for Dark), but the Mew was his fave lol.

Wonder Guard on a pokemon that had real stats (and so didn't auto-die to ANY damage) would be OP, but really all that means is... It goes to Ubers and just gets one-shot by something with the proper coverage or a Mold Breaker type effect. They're becoming more common and coverage just becomes wider and wider with each generation, so... Honestly unless the pokemon also had incredible stats and/or a killer moveset, Wonder Guard alone on an otherwise average pokemon wouldn't ruin the game. It *could* unbalance single player though, if they weren't careful.

That way Shedinja wouldn't be instantly killed be Spikes, Sandstorm (both ground), Toxic (poison) or Hail (ice). However it'd still be weak to Stealth Rocks (rock) or Burn status (fire). It's broken, but at least it wouldn't make Shedinja completely useless.
