    I'm making my first competitive team in a long time. i desperately need help with it. i have a big battle sunday...and im still missing 2 pokes. My team is very defensive based, since that is my main style of play. this is how it goes so far:

    Umbreon@leftovers
    252 Hp, 252 SpDef, 4 Def
    impish:
    baton pass
    curse
    payback
    wish

    Shuckle@leftovers
    252 Def, 252 Hp, 4 SpDef
    impish:
    toxic
    rest
    sandstorm
    protect

    This pokemon is my first problem:
    Tangrowth-it would make a great addition to my team, but i cant decide what set to run it with and how to EV it. My ideas are as follows:

    P wall/P sweeper-
    Tangrowth@???
    252 Def, 252 Hp
    impish/adament:
    power whip
    earthquake
    rockslide
    swords dance

    seems good....but most of my pokes are already physical

    or:
    sp sweep/P wall
    Tangrowth@???
    252 Def, 252 Hp
    calm/modest:
    Energy ball/giga drain/leaf storm
    leech seed
    sleep powder
    ....and idk about the last move

    Flygon@choice band
    252 Atk, 252 Speed
    Adament:
    fire punch
    outrage
    earthquake
    U-turn

    Dusknoir@???
    252 Hp, 252 Def
    Impish:
    will-o-wisp
    pain split
    shadow punch
    curse/confuse ray

    and that leaves me with 1 spot....i realized that my team has no water types....so i figured that would b a good type to balance out and fill this spot. its between slowking and kingdra. i have a moveset for slowking, who would fit my "bulky team" better:

    Slowking@???
    252 Sp Atk, 252 Hp
    Impish/calm/modest
    psychic
    surf
    slackoff
    nasty plot

    but i have no idea about kingdra.

    Im looking for good insight on everything, especially tangrowth and my last slot, but feel free to add any other suggestions. im not changing the team i already have....i dont have time. im also open to alternate dusknoir movesets. so please help....cause i need answers quick!

    There's no reason to build an OU/UU team since it's just going to be considered OU. There's nothing wrong with using UU pokemon in OU, but understand that they're usually outclassed by something else, hence the lower tier.

    You also need to add items and natures please, and do try to use this format or it's incredibly hard to read/rate your team:


    Pokémon @ Item
    Trait (If required)
    EVs
    Nature
    - Move 1
    - Move 2
    - Move 3
    - Move 4
     
    Sorry about that....its still not much better. I mostly didn't post those things because i wasn't sure about the items and some natures. I may have selected some of the natures wrong(tho i think im ok) so just correct me if i did. Sorry for the wrong format...im new to this. oh ya, and i new about the whole OU/UU team thing. i really dont kno why i put that.
