Color scheme makes rating this impossible :(

I can tell you that making Blastoise a subpunching Rapid Spinner isn't going to work.

I don't have much of a clue on any but with relecanth I do know that there is no reason to have stone edge unless for stallers. Maybe double edge? Or possibly a rock polish set could work?

Edit: Also, would you not want hp fighting for free? Hits steel, rock and ice.

Anything with Stone edge is about the antithesis of a staller. Stallers with Stone edge pretty much suck if all they can do is "stall."

Anyways, that Pinsir set is no...SRing on a SD set just isn't going to work, period.

Three Water-types, Two Flying-types, and Two Bug-types seems really dangerous and I can see a powerful bolt beamer running this team over.

Not to reiterate what I told Itachi over PM, but a Thunderpunch'n Primape dominates this team. I told him that Grumpig, or even the move Reflect (on Noctowl) would be great.

Tailwind seems like a wasted slot.. nothing on your team needs the speed that much. Replace it with Stun Spore [double status is great] or U-turn to scout for switch ins.

I can't see how Lanturn is going to work as an Agility sweeper.. (??) - without any S.Atk EVs it's barely gonna do anything.. you better off making it a utility rain dancer for Blastoise and especially Swift Swim Relicanth. Focus Punch on Blastoise can work without Substitute if you predict well, but you won't see Blissey anyway in UU play. It can dent Clefable tho. Go with Surf, Rapid Spin, Ice Beam / Focus Punch and Rain Dance.

Maybe I should make myself clearer... <.<

*Ahem* Using this in OU Play. But otherwise, thanks for the comments.

Let that be the case, your team is swept blindly by most of the OU metagame. Let's see...

Infernape, Elevtrivire, Ttar, I can go on for hours, but then I'd just be repeating the same pokesw with different sets.

Maybe I should go with UU, on 2nd thought. O_o

Rock takes out half of your team, Electric wipes out 4/6. :/ They're types that are too common to ignore. o.o

I'd go Light Screen on Noctowl, it really helps Pinsir/Relicanth.

But not so much the rest of his team. He really needs to get a psychic wall like Hypno or Grumpig. Personally, I always ran Reflect on Noctowl, but that was in OU, I don't know what's better in UU.

When the title says "UU Team" I think the common inference people are going to make is that it's for the UU Metagame.

Also, your pokemon hardly work together. If you want to BEAT OU teams that are well constructed and in the hands of a good player, your team will have to be good enough to give yourself a chance to win...but your team is weak to almost every single OU sweeper, except what Blastoise walls. you can't really expect to beat OU teams using Butterfree.

Before sims kills me for this line, I'll just say that it is okay if it works within the team, but it clearly doesn't which means that its weaknesses will be preyed on much more easily.

With that in mind, replace the dead weight (Lanturn...Butterfree...) and add in pokemon that give you much-needed resistances. Get a rock resist for sure, and a better fighting resist than Butterfree. Claydol is probably your best bet.

Don't waste your time. He already made an unecessarily long thread short by stating this is meant for UU. Even then, it has its problems that was already announced.
