Why put U turn on Choice Band?
What, would you switch him in, take the attack, and then use U turn to run away?...


Rest of the team looks nice, though I don't know much about UU.

No, its for walls like Sandslash that can wall Primape. U-Turn to something that can handle it. It's also great for hits on Hypno and Grumpig if it comes to that.

You realize your Sandslash has a Bold Nature right. Impish is probably what you wanted.

Actually, it's almost straight from Smogon...

One little issue: With two fighting types, you have to be VERY WARY of psychic/(dark/bug/ghost) wielders. Also, how long does Tailwind last? I've only seen it up for 2 turns everytime it's used. I thought it was 2 turns or something. Also, I'm guessing psypokes is wrong when it said it increases speed for 5 turns. 3 from Smogon sounds correct.

I do like how you're implementing Butterfree from the NU section (I think??) to be of use. It'll be a permanent first.

Just because Butterfree is (incorrectly) in the NU section doesn't mean it's bad. Let's see...

97.5% accurracy to Sleep Powder & Stun Spore. So that's a Spore, and a Thunderwave that hits ground. Then base 70 speed, great for UU, and the ability to breath fire.

Wait, sorry, watching that Budweiser commercial. Anywho, tier placement doesn't make a pokemon great, or worse. I've used Noctowl in OU, to GREAT effeciency, only benched it because I needed a sp.wall not boltbeam weak, but it worked amazingly.

3 turns I believe. Hypno is perfect to block those roles. Psychic attacks aren't common in UU, and Primeape actually outspeeds many I believe and can U-Turn out of Danger. With Tailwind up, I don't really need to worry about them. Butterfree can actually be a threat with Bug Buzz.

I wasn't quite bashing Butterfree; I just went by the NU tiers and what they said. I think Butterfree's kinda cool to be used with what Sims said. Bug Buzz hurts...period. It's a Bug-type Psychic move.

k, 3 turns makes Tailwind efficient to turn a tide of battle. Score another for the first and best butterfly!

Yeah! Butterfree rocks, not to mention I have the Girlfriend of Ash's one. (Remember, ages in the beginning when his one went of with the Shiny Butterfree?)
