Naughty Nature
Flash Fire
252 Atk / 76 SAttk / 180 Spd

Good lord.

Dont use Hyper Beam/Giga Impact moves ever. They leave you as set up fodder and suck in general.

Never use 2 of the same type moves on a set unless they do something different (i.e ice shard and Ice Fang)

Shedinja wants Shadow Sneak somewhere for priority, this sometimes helps you avoid getting hit. Actually Shedinja is useless without a Spinner so either add one or just remove Shedinja. Same with Moltres.

Mightyena is an inferior Houndoom.

Id also love to know how you're seeing lead Machamps in UU. :/

 

[Vrai]

Why do you have Heat Wave and Hyper Beam on Moltres? Heat Wave accomplishes absolutely nothing as a weaker STAB, and Hyper Beam is just a bad move. If you're going to use anything, at least run the standard set. :/

Shedinja is awful, especially when you have no spinner. I mean, lead Omastar, Qwilfish, and even Cloyster can set up two-three layers and Oma also sets up SR against your HP grass-less Moltres, and then Shedinja becomes a useless member of your team because you have no way to remove the hazards. I don't have any qualms about the set I suppose but in all honesty, without any spin support Shedinja is just a waste of space.

Mightyena. Here, I'll list what can't do Mightyena's job better than Mightyena:

I mean, come on. It has terrible defenses, poor speed, and average at best offenses. Super Fang is cool, sure, but while it takes off half of whatever Pokemon they have out you get ohko'd. If you want to use a frail Dark-type sweeper, then just use Houndoom. Its all-around better and even gets some decent synergy with Toxicroak, something you lack.

I don't really know what Toxicroak is doing here really because you don't have much that's going in and baiting Water-type attacks, but I don't have any problems with the set I guess. The same applies for Gabite I suppose. That's a Pokemon I have zero experience with though. :/

Giga Impact is a terrible move. :(

I think the biggest flaw with this team is that they are just a bunch of Pokemon thrown together. There's not even a hint at what this team wants to accomplish. I could probably just say "go, Milotic" and wall/beat almost all of your team save Toxicroak, but I still have five other team members. No Pokemon really helps another one sweep. I'm sure D_A or someone else can come and rate this team far better than I would, but seriously, even my limited sense of synergy can see that there's none here.

edit: yay i type slow

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I can't remember your first UU team that well, but I'm pretty sure this team is even worse than your first one.

Everyone already told you not to use Hyper Beam/Giga Impact because those moves suck. But I'm here to tell you that again:

DON'T USE MOVES THAT MAKE YOU RECHARGE. Yes, 150 Base power is extremely strong. But the fact that you can't move and can't even switch during the turn you recharge makes it not worth using. Furthermore, these "Hyper Beam" moves don't even do as much damage as normal moves during two turns.

Giga Impact in two turns: 150 power
Return in two turns: 204 power

Frenzy Plant in two turns: 150 power
Energy Ball in two turns: 160 power

Blast Burn in two turns: 150 power
Flamethrower in two turns: 190 power

Hydro Cannon in two turns: 150 power
Surf in two turns: 190 power

As you can see, simply using a weaker move twice will do much more damage than using a "Hyper Beam" move once.

You've already established that you're a Shedinja lover, but you have yet to make a team that can actually support Shedinja.
Most importantly, you need a reliable Rapid Spinner:

Hitmontop @Leftovers
Adamant Nature
Intimidate
252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 Spd

-Rapid Spin
-Foresight
-Close Combat
-Sucker Punch

Next, you need to look at Shedinja's weaknesses: Fire, Flying, Rock, Dark, Ghost.

A Steel type resists 4 of those types, but is weak to Fire. Houndoom resists 3, but is weak to Rock. Put those two together and you've covered all of Sheddy's weaknesses.

Replace Mightyena with Houndoom

Houndoom @Life Orb
Naughty Nature
Flash Fire
252 Atk / 76 SAttk / 180 Spd

-Fire Blast/Overheat
-Sucker Punch
-Pursuit
-Super Fang/Thunder Fang

Pursuit is needed to kill Ghost types even if they switch out.

As for your Steel type, Registeel makes a fantastic one.

Registeel @Leftovers
Impish Nature
252 HP / 100 Atk / 156 Def

-Stealth Rock
-Thunder Wave
-Iron Head
-Earthquake

Registeel gives your team a Stealth Rocker, a good wall, and paralyses opponents which helps Shedinja sweep easier.

However, a strong Fighting type like Blaziken can beat both Houndoom and Registeel.

Slowking can counter Blaziken as well as most other Fire or FIghting types. Like Registeel, you should use Thunder Wave to paralyze any opponent that switches in, especially Dark and Ghost types.

Slowking @Leftovers
Calm Nature
Own Tempo
212 HP / 44 SpAtk / 252 SpDef

-Thunder Wave
-Surf
-Ice Beam/Hidden Power Electric
-Slack Off

Now finally, we can choose a lead. While Moltres is powerful, it can't do anything to beat common leads like Kabutops and Omastar. Try this:

Venusaur @Choice Scarf
Modest/MildNature
104 Atk / 164 SpAtk / 232 Spd

-Sleep Powder
-Earthquake
-Leaf Storm
-Sludge Bomb

Venusaur has 3 good things going for it. Sleep Powder+Scarf means it can outspeed most other leads and put them to sleep. Being part Poison means it can absorb Toxic Spikes so that Shedinja won't get Poisoned. And having Scarf means it can be a nice revenge killer for your team. 232 Speed EVs let you outspeed Swellow and anything slower.

So there you have it: Venusaur, Hitmontop, Slowking, Registeel, Houndoom, and Shedinja.

Re-organized a bit. Giga impact IS FOR END GAME quick killing, last move, and kind of an explosion technique

 

[.Gamer]

The difference between Explosion/Selfdestruct and Hyper Beam/Giga Impact is that Explosion/Selfdestruct don't require a recharge turn, so you aren't getting set up on. HB/GI do. Also, HB/GI offers no additional coverage so you might as well just use something like Double-Edge or Return, or even Rest so you don't die fast.

 

[sims796]

Honestly, Hyperbeam sucks. As do their variants. No ifs, ands, or buts. If you really so differently, then perhaps you don't need help at all.

 

[Hatchet]

Nice Team Buddy, But Do Not Use Hyper Beam And Giga Impect.
