I decided to take a cut at the UU side of Shoddy, and here is my first UU team!

[email protected] Life Orb
Jolly Nature, Sniper Ability
4 Def, 252 Atk, 252 Spe

Swords Dance
Ice Fang
Earthquake
Night Slash

SD Drapion.

Altaria @Leftovers
Calm Nature
252 HP, 200 Def, 56 Sp. Def

Roost
Heal Bell
Dragon Pulse
Flamethrower

Support Pokemon. Heal Bell is there for curing status, Roost for recovery, Dragon Pulse for STAB, and Flamethrower for Steels and Ices that come up against me.

Claydol @Leftovers
Bold Nature
252 HP/ 144 Def/ 114 Spa

Rapid Spin
Heal Block
Earth Power
Stealth Rock

Another supporter, this one to prevent recovery and get rid of rocks, as well as put them up. That just sounded ironic.

[email protected] Wide Lens
Timid Nature
138 HP/ 152 Sp. Def./ 120 Def./ 100 Spe


Sleep Powder
Stun Spore
U-Turn
HP Fire

Double Powder Free. Main purpose is to put up status, then run away.

[email protected] Choice Scarf
Timid Nature
Chlrophyll
6 HP/ 252 Spa/ 252 Spe

Explosion
Leaf Storm
Dark Pulse
HP Fire.

Special Sweepin Shiftry. HP Fire is there to help counter my ice weakness.

Lanturn @Leftovers
Calm Nature
Volt Absorb
40 HP/ 80 Speed/ 252 Sp. Def./ 136 Sp. Atk.

Discharge
Confuse Ray
Ice Beam
Surf

Special Wall and Ice counter. Also helps with parafusion.


Well, there's the team. Raters, come on down and feast heartily on criticism.

Drapion wants life orb or scope lens. If you use scope lens, consider Cross Poison. You'll get lots of crits.
Lead with Claydol or Butterfree or Mr.Mime.
Altaria wants Flamethrower/Fire Blast, EQ is pointless.
Shiftry wants HP Fire, he's completely walled by Steels
Overall 3/10.

Good luck getting completely destroyed by Focus Sash Froslass, who can 2HKO Drapion, Taunt Mr.Mime, and basically OHKO every other pokemon on your team (barring Claydol, but it will be dented hard).

I recommend a Scarf Shiftry, as it can surprise some opponents and hit hard with Leaf Storm, while also having Explosion if things get messy. Shifry barely has any time for setting up, it should hit hard right off the bat.

I'll run LO on drapion, switch shiftry to HP fire and scarf. Do you think I should but in phlosion or a fire type to counter my froslass weakness?

If you want Parafusion and a good ice counter, use Lanturn instead of Mr.Mime.

Also make shiftry modest with Leaf Storm, Dark Pulse, Explosion and HP ice or Energy Ball for last slot.

One quick comment; why is Altaria Careful when it has two special attacks? I think you mean Calm nature. That seemed to jump out at me the quickest.

I don't see Heal Block being too useful on Claydol, but then again, it could help clinch a wall's death. Use Ice Beam if you want additional coverage, but if it works for you, then keep it.

On Shiftry, Leaf Storm and Scarf are excellent together. You're going to be switching a lot as it is. Also, in the HP Ice vs. HP Fire argument, you can either be walled by Altaria (to an extent) or Steels. You do have coverage of each on other Pokemon, but whatever you want to revenge more, that's what this is for.

Yeah, I meant Calm, looked at the wrong nature.

Heal Block works fine.

My team is mainly Ice weak, so I'll run with HP Fire.

With Discharge and the 30% chance to paralyze, you can opt for Ice Beam for grass types if you'd like unless you NEED that instant paralysis gratification.
