Max Speed with Modest doesn't really outrun anything of note and the extra bulk afforded by the HP is more helpful in most cases.

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

epicturtle, Another spread could be 220 Hp/ 252 Spa/ 36 Spe, this allows you to outspeed most Groudon and Ho-Oh while still keeping a lot of bulk. For instance, you will never be OHKOd by a non boosted Thunder, and even Specs Thunder off 150 Base SpA can't OHKO you without SR, and even then its not guarenteed.
Speed-tying with other Deoxys-A can be quite important.
Deoxys-A is hardly even used anymore, because of his fragility. The mirror match would be rather rare, so I'd go for the extra power. Scarf Ogre runs 459 and +1 ray is 475, so running that +speed nature is pointless. The only thing you will beat between neutral and +speed is scarf heatran, which is way too rare to forgo the extra power.
For Palkia and Dialga you can find the analysis here.
All the of the base 90 Speed Pokemon (Kyogre, Ho-Oh, Gratina-O, Groudon, Dialga) can effectively abuse Trick Room, and with an Iron Ball faster Pokemon can too. Some non-ubers like Bronzong and Cresselia can effectively abuse it/ set it up.
The second part, weather ubers is easy to get into or not, is an opinion. I would say not initially, but once you get a feel for the sets Pokemon commonly runs and what checks what, you can get into it fine.

why cant they just put salamence back on OU tier? i mean, garchomp is in uber tier, and i wiped it out with ease!
I'm wondering where I can find a reliable and quick place to get good Ubers on Smogon. They can be redis, freebies, I don't care, really. I just want to know who has a good selection. Maybe there's someone you know?
I figure I may as well ask here since this IS the Ubers subforum, right?

It makes no deal weither Mence is moved up to Uber or not. It got moved up to Uber because it was too strong for OU, not that it would work better in Uber. We've been able to use it in Uber the entire time since R/S/E days, since almost nothing is banned from Uber.
Flashstorm1 has a C&C Jirachi analysis that's been around for ages here. It may be a bit out of date, though, but I'm sure you'd be able to play around with EV spreads and stuff to suit your needs. Calze6 also has a Sub-Wave Jirachi (Can't remember the exact EV spread, you can ask him if you like).
To expand on what Firecape said, Arceus, when holding an elemental plate, and Giratina-O have a hidden effect of Sticky Hold effect. Knock Off, Trick, Covet, and Thief will fail to work on them.
Hi, what are griseous orb's effects in wifi?
Thnks ... I have other doubt: I want to build a team around mew (sweeper) , is it a good idea? and what are the correct teammates?
Mew is inferior in (almost) every way to Mewtwo in the terms of sweeping, so you would probably be better off using Mewtwo as a sweeper.
