No X-Scissor on Scyther? O_o

Leftovers on Sharpedo are useless. You're better off with a pinch berry or Life Orb here, also you are fairly slow so Aqua Jet might prove of use. Maybe Surf/Crunch/Aqua Jet/Sub here, I dunno, I lack experience at UU

IIRC, the alt.Toms are allowed in UU, no official tiering has been put for them if I remember, if you use one, use Mowtom.

Might want Counter/Mirror Coat somewhere on Blastoise.

Seems OK. Might have missed a couple things.

Night Slash is for common ghost lead
for now I only use normaltom since I dont know alt toms's tiers

Lolwut? 6 UU Ghosts, only 2 commonly used, and almost never lead. X-Scissor is a necessity on Scyther.

Nonetheless, I've seen plenty of Banette and Drifblim used as a lead in my assortment battles.

But that begs the question, why is Scyther the lead?

Yes, Banette and Drifblim are used quite often as leads. However, I'm not sure if I like Scyther leading. What are you going to do against Aero or Persian, 2 of the most common UU leads? I know he suffers from the 4 moveslot syndrome, but it seems to me that lead Scyther should have U Turn (however, that kind of is counterproductive to Swords Dance).

Aero is OU now
SD is for lead that will switch
