    I hate entry hazards... this was fun. So im using this where entry hazards are banned.

    [PokeCommunity.com] In a world without entry hazards (UU RMT - With, OMG, Articuno)

    Girafrica - Girafarig (F) @ Leftovers
    Ability: Inner Focus
    Nature: Modest
    EV Spread: 252 HP / 32 Def / 160 SpA / 64 Spe
    + Magic Coat
    + Psychic
    + Grass Knot
    + Light Screen

    "image removed"Hello. I am going to use Hypnosis, k?
    "image removed" This continent has a coat around it. Sweet dreams, Mr. Pony.

    Yeah, that pretty much sums things up for leads that rely on Hypnosis or Sleep Powder. Rapidash was a bit of a poor example because of Megahorn, but you get the point. Ninetales and Venomoth also get a nasty surprise when they try to cause problems.

    As for Fake Out leads, none of them like taking STAB Psychics from Giraf. However, Ambipom, Purugly, and Persian all allow me to switch in Mismagius and start pissing people off. Hitmontop suffers horribly from Inner Focus + Psychic + outspeeding that creepy thing on the second turn.

    When something gets their nasty status bounced back at them, I may set up a Light Screen just for some extra support. However, I doubt I will use this often and am considering replacing it with HP Fighting, Reflect, or Wish.

    Grass Knot will hurt Hippowdon leads (although I doubt I will see many of them in a SR-less environment) and an incoming Sharpedo.

    Mismasia - Mismagius (F) @ Leftovers
    Ability: Levitate
    Nature: Timid
    EV Spread: 48 HP / 208 SpA / 252 Spe
    + Calm Mind
    + Shadow Ball
    + Thunderbolt
    + Substitute

    "image removed""image removed""image removed" Hi!! You can switch into our Fake Outs, take no damage, and then set up your Sub if you want!

    Yep, I mentioned these three earlier. I may worry about Persian due to Switcheroo, but the other two shouldn't be a problem. If they are stupid enough to stay in after I sub up, I can get in a few CMs. If they continue to insist that they should stay in, I'll hit at their undeniably horrible HP and SpD with a Thunderbolt. Shadow Ball gets STAB on non-Normal types, obviously.

    This thing also works against Hitmontop, but a Stone Edge to the head may not be the best thing for something with low HP and Def.

    Medicherranea - Medicham (F) @ Choice Scarf
    Ability: Pure Power
    Nature: Adamant
    EV Spread: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
    + Brick Break
    + Psycho Cut
    + Ice Punch
    + ThunderPunch

    "image removed" I'm sorry... I'm going to have to outspeed you, OHKO you, and make everyone laugh at your Dragon Dance attempts.
    "image removed"...How dare you!

    This set is pretty straightforward. It's fast, powerful, and has amazing coverage. Just like any Scarfer, no thorough explanation is needed.

    Antarcticuno - Articuno (?) @ Leftovers
    Ability: Pressure
    Nature: Timid
    EV Spread: 252 HP / 40 SpA / 216 Spe
    + Substitute
    + Roost
    + Toxic
    + Ice Beam

    "image removed""image removed""image removed""image removed""image removed""image removed""image removed""image removed""image removed" Die!!!!!

    Yeah, SubRoost Articuno pretty much sums up "annoying". With 90/100/125 defenses, Articuno doesn't have any plans to go anywhere any time soon. Without SR, Articuno is free to sub up on the first turn out. Toxic x Ice Beam works very well... hit things that resist Beam (Slowking, Poliwrath) with the former and things that laugh at that (Venusaur, Steelix) with the latter. From a decent 95 Base SpA, anything that resists neither is pretty much done for.

    This thing tanks up a lot of things on both the Physical and Special spectrum (not rocks) and should prove a valuable asset to this team.

    Proba Luna - Regirock (?) @ Leftovers
    Ability: Clear Body
    Nature: Careful
    EV Spread: 252 HP / 6 Def / 252 SpD
    + Earthquake
    + Explosion
    + Rock Slide
    + Thunder Wave

    Covering up some out-of-this-world weaknesses (not literally) with Rock Slide and Thunder Wave to boot.

    "image removed" ...I guess I fail just a little.

    Thunder Wave absolutely ruins a good 80% of the metagame... namely the aforementioned Scyther. This set also hurts Steelix (which hides behind its Ground type like a small child) and any non-Ghost/Steel/Rock. I plan on using this to cover up for how much more SpD investment is in this team than physical defense.

    Our Planet Suks - Muk (F) @ Black Sludge
    Ability: Sticky Hold
    Nature: Brave
    EV Spread: 252 HP / 68 Atk / 188 SpD
    + Explosion
    + Brick Break
    + Ice Punch
    + Payback

    This doesn't even require dialog... it is very straightforward and soaks up Special hits while dishing out some Physical damage alongside Medicham and Regirock. But... dialog is cool...

    "image removed" I'm pretty sexy for my age.

    Huh. Interesting. It's... missing a couple key roles.... I'm just saying that it's an Uber UU team(?) which averages out to OU(?). Anywho, I'd say certain points are missing like RS and SR which can be filled with Claydol and Aggron, both of which are pretty good pokemon.

    Yeah... thanks for reading. I mentioned that there were no entry hazards where I am using this, in the title I believe. (In a world without)

    SR is banned, and RS is not needed due to lack of SR.
     
    All three of those Normal-types usually carry moves to take out Mismagius by the way. Bite, Night Slash/Shadow Claw, Payback/Ice Punch respectively and all three outspeed Mismagius. So having them as your cure all for Normal-types doesn't really make sense. A Steel-type over Regirock/Muk would take care of that weakness.
