Competitive Team: Snazzy (UU) - Looking for Suggestions and Ideas

Just to let you know, you don't need HP Rock to handle Swellow. It can do literally nothing to Probopass and gets killed by Flame Orb after a while. But I guess you should keep HP Rock for being able to stall.
 
I tried HP rock myself on Probo for a long time, but I find Flash Cannon better for being able to hit Claydol too so it doesn't get in for completely free.
 
Great point on Leafeon, and it really helped me decide to rid it of Aerial Ace. I'm not really looking for Leafeon to do the sweeping so I thought against Return as well. At the mention of Return sparked that it could use quick attack and finish off many of the fragile sweepers. (EX: fighting some Hitmonlee, but then they switch out too Swellow. I use Wish to be on safe side of either a switch or a Blaze Kick knowing it will 3HKO, then Sword Dance as Swellow Brave Birds away at me. Then retort with a firm slap down with Quick Attack before it even tries to finish Leafeon off.)

I liked the thinking your had ABYAY for using Fire Blast over Overheat and it convinced me. Not to mention the Wide Lens will help it out a bit as well, the accuracy was the main thing that scared me away from it.

And I kind of knew I should with Blastoise, I just could not convince myself to do it without hearing it I'm betting.

I decided I liked the looks of Flash Cannon more thanks to Syaoran with the chance of decreasing their SpDef and higher base power with STAB still. And you have been great help too, pointing out the Swellow weak and with your plentiful good suggestions.

And fixed the Summary mix up I had there.
 
Well, Sya is a god of UU, so what can you expect? In fact...I think Sya got me into UU and helped me out some.

On Ninetales, if the accuracy puts you off, just go Flamethrower and use Leftovers. Since you're designed to inflict status on everything, don't expect to be sweeping.

If this is a shoddy team, feel free to playtest it on my server if you'd like. We usually get plenty of people in the afternoon.
 
Well, my Leafeon set was also designed for OU rather than UU (I always assumed it was OU/BL anyway). That's why it had Aerial Ace, since stuff that might try to switch in on me dies to it (Infernape, Tangrowth, Heracross, etc.). In UU the only advantage to AA is hitting Grass types hard.

As far as my calculations go, I used to be a text RPG updator (Pokerealm's Pokemon Topaz when Pokerealm still had vBulletin forums). I held on to their RPG calculator program. I can just put in the attacker's attack power and the defender's defense, move power, whether it's STAB or not, and type matchups, and it gives me a number instantly. It's self explanatory once you have it. I can just keep hitting fire for a bunch of numbers that I use for my ranges. Since Pokerealm evicted me from the staff, flamed the hell out of me, and eventually banned me, I feel no guilt in giving it to you if you want it even though it's not really mine to hand out.
 
Lol, well dang. Awesome to see that someone of that caliber is helping rate teams. Especially someone like me who only picked up playing pokemon over the summer for a fun way to spend extra time at home.

As to Ninetales, I'm having her with Wide Lens more for helping Hypnosis and Will-o-Wisp; I just thought it was crafty that Fire Blast was helped out by it as well and saw it as fitting. Along with the reasoning you provided.

And I have loads of fun getting on your server. I drop in whenever I get the chance, especially when I'm all hyped up about testing and trying new changes.

And that is crazy Espy Psyche! I'm not familiar with Pokerealm and what it is that they accomplish. But that's pretty bad that they would not only evict you, but then go after reputation. That's almost like doing blacklisting. And I would not want to inconvince you at all with sharing your program for that, but if it honestly does not bother you, I would gladly find it useful in teambuilding and coming up with some unique EV spreads.
