Ok, after breeding all the different kind's of nature's on lot's of Munna's for different
Synchronizer's, i'am now in a position to go after Reshiram. Now just curious but what
is the best nature to use for it and with which moves? Also if you have an EV spread
for it that would be cool to but is not needed.

Not to sure that's all.
 
With Ubers, they normally have one goal and thats to hit hard and fast or tank hard.

I don't know it's based stats but I'd go for ether Modest or Timid nature running 252 in special attack and speed and the last 6 in HP.

As for moves, I'm not sure. A hidden power might be good but sure if it helps much in ubers.
 
Thanks to its ability, which lets it hit any pokémon with its STAB fire moves, it just needs two strong moves of its own types to hit anything for at least normal damage. Hidden Power maxes out at 70 power, which pales in comparison to some of the STAB-boosted powers of Resh's other attacks. Dragon Pulse and Fusion Flare end up doing about the same damage a super-effective Hidden Power does, and one of them will always be at least normal effective. Unless you have a specific pokémon or type combination you want to hit super-effective, Hidden Power probably isn't worth your time.

Other more powerful but (in most cases) less accurate options are Fire Blast, Blue Flare, Draco Meteor, and Outrage.

Its weakest point is its speed, so you're going to want a nature that boosts that, like Timid. Another option is to put on Nitro Charge; it might not be as powerful, but it will get your speed up on turn 1 to start attacking on turn 2, which helps you outrun just about anything without a Choice Scarf. So, Timid, Hasty, or Naive are probably your best bets; only use the last two if you really want to avoid lowering Attack.

What Vaporeon suggested for EVs is going to be your best option unless you have something unusual you want to do.
 
Ya, that doe's sound like a good idea. I kinda want to leave attack alone that way I can
possibly use it for a mixed set. Is it better to have a Mixed Set or a Pure Special Attacker?
 
Go with pure special attack Reshirom is no Rayquaza as Rayquaza has based 150 in attack and special attack plus mix sets don't do too well in ubers unless it's on something like Rayquaza or Deoxys. Ether special or physical.
 
Best set imo is:

Choice Specs
Modest
max spe/spa
~Blue Flare
~Draco Meteor
~Dragon Pulse
~Cross Flame

WHo needs mixed when you 2HKO Bliss with Blue Flare in the sun?
 
I;d say for consistent Dragon move if Ogre comes in, then yeah.

Ram's movepool is quite limited, not much stuff that can go there.
 
Porii, is that really two fire moves and two dragon moves on that set? No, he has a better movepool than THAT. Change it to something like:

~Blue Flare/Fusion Flare (Your choice)
~Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse
~Focus Blast/Hidden Power (Whatever type of hidden power works, idk)
~Solar Beam/Hidden Power

Better coverage.
 
Ahh...Solarbeam. Took that off for Ogre.

2 Dragon moves is amazing. Trust me here, I'm a highly experienced 5th gen Ubers player.

Blue Flare/Dmeteor/Dpulse/Focus Blast or Solarbeam. Since you have STAB Sun'd Blue Flare and STAB Dmeteon, not much will be hit too much harder by Hidden Power.

YOu don't need coverage when you 2 Shot Bliss with a special attack.
 
It's just not Blissey though, Kyogre will be a problem for it. It's just like with my Pidgeot. It's always a toss up of ether Brave Bird or Giga Impact.

I say ether run D.M. or D.P. because it will always be a toss up of which one to use. More the likely you'll be using Dmeteor over Pulse fighting something like a Mewtwo.

Just out of curiosity, what makes you say this? I don't do Gen V Ubers, so I don't know the ins and outs, but I would like to know (by PM) where you're battling and who you're battling that makes you highly experienced.

@ the OP. Really the moveset is up to you. You can, as Porii said, have two Dragon moves, or go for coverage. You could do something with Power Herb and Solar Beam, to nail Kyogre if it tries to wall you, although I doubt that's a good idea. :rolleyes: It really depends on the rest of your team and how well other Pokemon can handle specific threats.
 
Problem is that Solarbeam's power gets cut in half by rain, and Ogre has like 140 SpD so it still won't hurt it at all really. Dragon Pulse hits it harder.

Also, I'm at around 100-ish on PO Gen V Ubers.

Back on topic though, Specs Reshiram doesn't NEED coverage. Just annihilate everything with Blue Flare, lol.
