Need comments for a UU team
 
Hi. I'm more of Under Used kind of person and was wondering if this would be a good team or if there was stuff I could build on. I'm getting attacks and Ev's formatted out but so far it goes like this:
Persian, Lumineon, Arbok, Ampharous, Yanmega,(Not sure if it is classified as a UU), and Marowak.

Comments and movesets will be appreciated. ^^

I dont think Marowak is UU, because of the item, Thick club, which can ultimetly give marowak an attack value of 284 x 2 = hmm, 568, which imo is a force to be reckoned with, but usually you won't get exactly that because people usually try raise his speed because of the item boost.

This guy, imo would destroy if he got speed boosts from people.

Hmm, I decided to make a moveset on the spot

Marowak @ Thick Club
Trait: (You can choose)
EVs: 252 Spd / 180 ~ 200 Atk / The rest HP or Def or split between both, as he has a high def
Moveset:
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance / Sleep talk
- Stone Edge
- Aerial Ace / Rest

The sleeptalker could be effective, imo, but thats me

i guess i can suggest one moveset:

Persian @ Choice Band/Life Orb
Ability: Technician
Nature: Jolly
252 Spd/252 Atk/6 HP
-Fake Out
-U-Turn/Aerial Ace/Faint Attack
-Hypnosis
-Roar/Faint Attack/Aerial Ace

with technician, all of its attacks that are 60 power and less get a STAB boost. so for Fake Out, w/ both STAB + Technician, its base power gets upped at either 80 or 90. u-turn is without explanation, hypnosis for speedy sleep inflicting, and the last slot depends on whether you're playing competitively and how your team is constructed. if you're not playing competitevely, you can hypnosis + roar all you want. if you are, you might want to consider aerial ace or faint attack. both get technician boost and become base power 90 (which is awesome... imagine a cat using a 90 base power flying attack). if you want to surprise your foe against a fighting type like infernape and heracross, aerial ace will hit them hard. if you want to cause a whole lot of extra damage to special sweepers like Gengar, Alakazam and Gardevoir, faint attack will take care of them (well, maybe alakazam, but gengar and gardevoir may barely survive it w/o Life Orb or Choice Band). if you count the extra damage from Life Orb and Choice Band, all of its attacks end up well above 100 base power, which is definitely something to look into.

that persian makes a decent starter. i've never had it get knocked out w/o doing something helpful for my team (like setting ninetales up <3).

Interesting coments.

I like the idea of a person with a 90 flying attack move. Not only fakes them out but gets fighting types down. XD

I was questioning about Marowak. I was just thinking of some decent ground poke to be part of my team. And Wak was the first to pop in. Though if you could think of a another electric-type killer that would work out. ^^

yes, Sandlash @ Choice Scarf rocks.

Sandlash @ Choice Scarf
Jolly/Adamant/Impish Nature
*EVs depend on what nature it has*
For example, jolly would be something like 212 Spd/252 Atk/46 Def
-Earthquake
-Rockslide
-Brick Break/Aerial Ace
-Rapid Spin

so many fools fall for thinking how slow it is and Grass Knot will destroy it, but it remains untouched (unless of course you rapid spin). if you don't want rapid spin on it, then i suppose aerial ace could take its place, but trust me, you're gonna want rapid spin.

I had an arbok in leaf green. With adamant and glare it was a decent poke for UU.

on the spot:
[email protected]/life orb
Adamant
Intimidate
218att/92def/200speed
-pursuit/ice fang
-glare
-poison jab/gunk shot
-earthquake

Marowak is certainly not UU. It probably wouldn't be safe to say Ampharos is either.
