The stuff mentioned above, Encore, Perish Song, Explosion (watch out for Substitute users), and even strong priority can beat Baton Pass teams, or at least cripple them.

I have a bronzong right now and I'm trying to decide whether explosion or gyro ball works better for it. I can definitely see a pro to gyro ball because Bronzong is slow and will get multiple uses of a fairly strong move. However, explosion is a great way to take out a pokemon that might be giving me probelms. The downside of course, is that I won't have a bronzong anymore.

The main thing bugging me is that I don't want to be in a situation that could possibly be a win, but only have bronzong left and end up losing because the only attacking move is explosion.

Sorry, here's the moveset:

Stealth Rock
Light screen
Reflect
Explosion/Gyro Ball

You can opt for both Gyro Ball and Explosion and remove Stealth Rock, since your primary objective should be getting your screens up anyway, especially if your team is reliant on having them up. So that solves the problem on which to use =P

You should be able to find another SR user for your team, but dual screen Zong should really concentrate on screening anyway.

I can confirm this seeing as Taunt Cacturne single-handedly defeated my pure BP team O.O

(They suck)
That was actually an Encore Cacturne, but yeah Encore owns them too lol

Stolen From Smogon, But the Sets will do.

[email protected] Life Orb
6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Thunderbolt
- Flamethrower
- Hidden Power Grass/Ice
- Substitute/Charge Beam

Jolteon @ Petaya Berry
6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power Grass/Ice
- Substitute

Ice would be Odd/Odd/Odd/Odd/Odd/Even
Grass would be Even/Odd/Odd/Even/Odd/Odd

I still need a UU tank.
Possibly a mixed one ;3

I am having a mighty hard time doing a UU team, so far I have made about 5 and won hardly any matches on Shoddy. The plan eventually would be to make a team on WiFi, but I am testing on Shoddy for now.

So far I am torn between leads, I know what lead I want to use, but its BL so I cant lol. I can see the benefits of several leads, Roserade, Yanmega, Nidoqueen, Omastar and Moltres all seem to have different qualities as leads.

I think a Steelix with SR and Roar is a good idea in theory but I cant pull it off, the same with the Elemental Weezing; that seems like it should definitely work but it doesnt seem to for me. I already mentioned Nidoqueen, she seems like she should be able to set up Spikes and such and then Roar her way to victory but that doesnt seem to help.

Pory2 is working excellently for me in OU but Im not sure how it would fit in on a UU team, with no Gyara, Salamence or Scarftran to counter.

I am really stuck and would appreciate any general UU advice. Thanks :)

This works fairly well, smacks most leads for a OHKO or 2HKO and spins away the entry hazards.

Starmie @ Life Orb
Timid Nature
6 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe
-Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
-Grass Knot
-Rapid Spin
I think HP Grass would work better for him than Grass Knot, since most leads aren't that much heavier than Starmie. Also how about a Modest nature and an item like Chesto Berry to foil the plans of thos nasty Breloom and Sporing Smeargle leads.

Taunt only works before a sub is up, otherwise they block taunt and set up in your face.
and why my Belly Passer Smeargle got Screwed up by taunt when it was behind its sub :s ?

Who in the hell uses Breloom as a lead ? and smeargle is lol when versus Starmie if it doesnt have Sash

dont change Grass Knot to HP Grass , you need Grass Knot to Hit those heavy leads , and Azelf is loled by Hydro Pump already

I've seen a many Scarf Breloom leads with the sole purpose os Spore annoyance I also lol'd at the concept of a Breloom lead at first but then faced them. I suppose some Rocks users are heavy leads and also Swapert, though many leads are light and fast esp BPers like Ninjask and Yanmega, but I suppose Ice Beams takes care of them.

For 70 Power you need..
Ice would be 31/31/31/31/31/30
Grass would be 30/31/31/30/31/31
The most common Ice 70 is 31/30/30/31/31/31, I believe. You don't lose the speed point, which can often be important.

I suggest you bookmark the guide that Pokedra linked you to. It will come in handy when dealing with non-egg pokemon, as they can't get every IV combo.

I know, I was just posting the one with the least stat loss, but you do end up losing a point of speed, which could be key depending on your team. But yeah, use the link Pokedra provided along with the on PsyPoke. There's a Hidden Power calculator there.

Also, I still need a UU tank guys. How does Spiritomb sound?
