OU Styled UU Team Blueprints

[Iceman3k]

I decided to form a UU Team that can attack OU. Inspired by this topic. =)

Pinsir @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- X-Scissor
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Flail
Once I get to fatal health, I flail away.

Blastoise @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 216 HP / 44 Atk / 176 Def / 72 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Rapid Spin
- Counter
- Aqua Jet / Substitute
- Earthquake
A sort of custom Blastoise. Does Physical Tanking, and does a good Job at fooling Electrics.

Lanturn @ Life Orb
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 52 HP / 44 Def / 160 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Agility
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
Special Sweeper. Makes a good Switch-in against Electrics.

Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 212 HP / 120 Def / 176 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Wish
- Reflect
- Stealth Rock
- Thunderbolt / Ice Beam / Psychic / Grass Knot
Special Tank + Stealth Rock Support.

Drifblim @ Leftovers
Ability: Aftermath
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hypnosis
- Will-o-Wisp
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power (Flying)
Abusing Double Status is fun.

Absol @ Razor Claw / Scope Lens
Ability: Super Luck
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Psycho Cut
- Night Slash
- X-Scissor / Slash
I know Scope Lens is frowned upon, but screw it.
Abuse of Super Luck + Crit Moves + Crit Items = <3

Okay, that's about it there. Comments are appreciated, and encouraged. Rude comments, keep them away. Thank you.

This is another excellent thread idea. It can help out many people who doesn't appreciate UUs.

Absol really needs Focus Sash if it doesn't operate Choice Scarf.

using double status on Drifblim IS fun, but not when its damaging moves are very lacking in coverage. i highly suggest thunderbolt over hidden power.

flail is quite pointless on a poke that'll be forced to switch in and out all the time anyway (due to choice scarf). also, if you're running it with choice scarf, i wouldn't bother giving it a +spd nature. max out its attack with Adamant. with 252 speed evs + Adamant + Scarf, it reaches about 404 speed anyway, which outruns threats that aren't even really threats. i suggest giving Adamant and dropping Flail for Earthquake. you can really cause a whole bunch of trauma with Choice Scarf + Mold Breaker + Earthquake.

your EV setup for Lanturn is very disappointing. either it's given a forced Choice Scarf to be a sweeper, or it is given as much HP it can be given while ignoring speed. it either survives hits, then slaps back with ones that are weaker, or it gets that flashy new accessory.

also, i'm really not a fan of the Clefable usage. it could be doing much better things like boltbeam + CM + softboiled.

I can tell you from personal exp, Your going to have a HARD TIME working with absol not using choice scarf. His speed isnt anything to be impressed with especially if you intend on taking on OU pokemon.

Absol @ choice scarf
Adamant nature

Stone edge
Night slash
psycho cut
ice beam

Kind of a "custom" absol Give him just enough EV's to take out any dragon with ice beam. Ice beam is a nice suprise for those who dont expect it.

Also lanturn's moveset is....uh....interesting. Using him for special sweeping outside of choice specs/scarf is a horrible idea. You have a better chance of just EV'ing him as a wall and have him soak up a ton of hits for you.

I'll work on some proper replacements for a few of them when I make it back home. And here's some of my other statements:

- Regarding Pinsir, I gave it Jolly Nature due to the account that some people run with Jolly CS Medicham, which outspeeds CS Hera. Since they both have the same speed, I figure I'd give it a shot. But I might change to Adamant since this is, after all, UU.

- I wanted to make Lanturn a Special Sweeper, considering the fact that there were no potential UU Sp. Sweepers within the boundaries that can get high Speed. There is the account of Gorebyss, but that won't survive to pull a Rain Dance. I'll work on something in this field if I have to.

- Clefable's Set is only like that because that's my only Stealth Rock Supporter. Maybe I could replace that, AND Blastoise, and get 2 other tanks.

- I probably might replace Absol if I can find a Physical sweeper with better Speed. No sense of having 2 CSers in one team.
