Well I generally don't use explosion with claydol anyway unless I'm absolutely sure it will die. Even then, I'd prefer to set up the other screen I haven't or whatnot so its generally filler anyway. Yeah I coulda sworn Torkoal was fire/rock, but I just checked it and it is indeed fire. Thing...
Well I'm not as skilled in OU either (though I'm not bad). The main tier I generally play in is the uber tier. But I thought I'd try UU for a change, and its going good so far. I can play you on UU on shoddy sometime, but I have yet to build this team for wifi. Solrock has terrible special...
"Not true, the 20th anniversary nintendo power event on sept. 13 2008 no longer limits the nature for surfing pikachus. You're allowed to use timid surfing pikachus on shoddy also. "
I took out surf anyway due to all the suggestions, though i found it a bit useful for a suprise factor.
Well I heard about light ball also increasing pikachu's attack but it did nothing to it on the team builder on shoddy so I dunno about that.
I want to make quaggy rest talk but I need a suggestion on what move to take out for it.
I switched out hydro pump for surf.
Yeah it was a typo, it was already water absorb, but I left in bastiodon's ability by mistake. What move should I take out for sleep talk? Only earthquake is a bit low on coverage and is easily walled by many things, wereas ice punch is a rather weak move with only a couple curses without STAB...
Made some changes to my team, took out Bastiodon for Quagsire and took out Life Orb on Sharpedo for scarf. Its working good, but I can't seem to put focus punch on Pikachu. His attack is just too low to make use out of it.

Its my first attempt, ever, in UU. So I don't really know how it works. So I'ma post my team so I can learn a little how the metagame works. Because of that, I somewhat stole the EVs of smogon's analysis =/.

Well I don't really have experience with the pokes you are using but...I do agree with your statement. Having a metagame with no OUs allowed would be quite fun actually, considering how dumb platinum is. Sure, BL is a banlist for OU, but it would be a pretty neat metagame.
Well that was a typo on skarmory, its supposed to say Impish.
Blissey doesnt' have a special attack now, so I gave it careful.
I'll try out a gliscor soon, though perhaps I may replace skarmory with it instead of Ape.
Some of you will find this very, very wierd considering I've been here for quite a while. This is my first NORMAL OU team! Every other team I have built has been a theme/monotype team. Yup, everyone. Though everything I build isn't just off the bat so, I'd like you all to look at this team I...
Great looking team overall. Very nice for a new uber battler. Bare in mind that a lot of teams look good on paper, but playing it actually is a different story. The main reason that ubers isn't often played because after the first couple battles, most people get scared off by losing all the...
