Okay so this is my first real attempt at an uber team

Deoxys-S @ Light Clay
jolly Pressure
252 HP/252 Speed/6 Def
Light Screen
Reflect
Taunt
Extremespeed

My screening lead. I'm not completely sure I like it. I may switch him to a spiker or even to Defense form. Right now he gets out, sets up his screens and most likely dies, taunt prevents stealth rock and extremespeed incase I need to attack.

Darkrai @ Choice Scarf
Timid Bad Dreams
252 SpAtk/252 Speed/6 HP
Dark Void
Dark Pulse
Trick
Focus Blast

This comes out, tricks choice scarf onto something, then hopefully forcing a switch, which I then Dark Void. From there Dark pulse gets stab and covers nicely and Focus Blast is for anything else (mostly steels and Darks)

Mewtwo @ Leftovers
Timid Pressure
252 SpAtk/252 Speed/6 HP
Taunt
Calm Mind
Aura Sphere
Ice Beam

My big Special Attacker. Taunt is good at forcing switches, and in the occasions that an enemy does attack, Mewtwo can withstand an attack or two. Then Proceeds to Calm Mind. Aura Sphere hits darks and steels well, while Ice beam takes out pesky dragons and flyers. Although I'm thinking of taking one out for maybe something like shadow ball

Rayquaza @ Life Orb
Jolly Air Lock
252 Atk/216 Speed/40 HP
Dragon Dance
Outrage
Earthquake
Extremespeed

My main Physical Attacker. Not many things can survive a dragon dance stab life orb outrage from a rayquaza, get it on an earthquake and its potential game over. Earthquake covers things resistant to outrage and when I don't want to lock myself in. Extremespeed for the things that very rarely beat me in speed. Although I'm thinking of maybe removing Extremespeed for Overheat or crunch

Giratina @ Leftovers
Bold Pressure
252 HP/252 Def/6 SpDef
Rest
Sleep Talker
Will-O-Wisk
Dragon Pulse

My physical wall and status absorber. It comes in absorbs blows, burns to cause damage and lower attack, then rests off any damage. Dragon pulse is for sleep talk purposes to give me a stab attack with decent coverage.

Lugia @ Leftovers
Calm Pressure
252 Hp/252 SpDef/6 Def
Roost
Whirlwind
Ice Beam
Toxic

My Special wall. heals itself with roost, whirlwind acts as phazing, Ice Beam for coverage and toxic to cause status problems.

So this is my team for now. The only things I coudl think of that I might add instead would be a different Deoxys form, Wobbuffet, Dialga, or maybe something I can't think of off the top of my head. So please, help my team

Why you make Giratina forget Shadow Force? it's a POWERFUL move only he can learn!!!!!!
 
because shadow force takes two turns to use, which allows the opponent a turn to switch in and set up, nothing I can do about it
 
First off, welcome to the wonderful world of Ubers! FINALLY another Ubers battler.

For Deoxys, either change Timid to Jolly or change Extremespeed to something like Ice Beam or a support move like Spikes or Stealth Rock. The rest, honestly, look fine.

http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/uber_battling << There's a link to check how good your Ubers team actually is. It lists all of the Pokémon used in Ubers battling, so you can find out if your team covers all of the bases.
 
Thanks, I'll try a jolly nature for now, if that doesn't work I'll switch ES for stealth rock

and thanks for the link to the article, very insightful
 
Deoxys-S is speed form right? I've seen them with non-intuitive letters before and sometimes I get confused. Anyway, if it is, you don't need that much speed. Go look at the speeds here and figure out how much you need, then put the rest of the effort somewhere else. Also, on something that fast, you don't need Extremespeed. You should use a more powerful move there.

Also, Rayquaza is one of the slowest Ubers, so Extremespeed could be useful if you can't pull off a Dragon Dance.

Other than that, it looks pretty good, though I'm not very experienced with Ubers.
