Singles Ubershttps://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/crown-tundra-ss-ubers-viability-rankings.3675194/https://www.smogon.com/dex/ss/formats/uber/Here is a link to the VR and a list of analyses.

A check to calyrex shadow. Calyrex shadow is massive threat in ubers, and not including proper checks for it is a recipe for disaster.

Here is a list of viable Calyrex Shadow checks:

a. Yveltal: Yveltal resist ghost and 0hko back with dark type stab. Its access to reliable recovery let’s it check calyrex shadow over the course of a game. It is the best check and I would reccomend it for most teams.

b. Bulky Dark types: Bulky dark types like Tyranitar can wall calyrex shadow. These are hit hard by pollen puff, however. Offensive dark types such as Weavile and Urshifu-S are soft checks that can give some security vs Caly on offensive teams.

c. Priority: Shadow Sneak from Marshadow and Giratina can 0hko Caly. These cannot switch in, they can only reverse kill.

You can read more about Caly by reading its analysis on smogdex.

There a number of other roles that while not completely mandatory , but generally very useful to have:1. Hazard Removal: This includes Defog, Rapid Spin and Magic Bounce.2. Cleric( i.e a way to cure status) : Due to the prevalence of status in ubers you are reccomended to run Aromatherapy on Heal Bell on most teams.3. A good defensive core: You want a set of defensive Pokemon that can check the tier’s top threats reasonably well. To start off, I’d reccomend covering the all the mons from S to B- rank on the VR. This can be skipped if you are running a hyper offense team. On those teams, you still need soft checks to top threats such as Caly-S.
