Skorupi Can Talk!? [UU]

[.Aero]

My sad attempt at a UU team after being away from the metagame for so long. D: Be brutal. I want a good team. And if you are replacing pokemon, the only one I don't want replaced is my CurseLick.

In-Depth​

Electrode@Focus Sash
Nature: Timid
Trait: Static
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Taunt
~ Thunder Wave
~ Thunderbolt
~ HP [Grass]

The idea behind this is to use Electrodes amazing speed (fastest in UU) to taunt the opponent and make them forget about Stealth Rocks. If I'm positive they don't use SR on the other hand, I can easily T-Wave them, crippling their lead. Afterwards, I can use T-bolt or HP [Grass] if I don't feel like switching out. Great lead overall.

Licklicky@Leftovers
Nature: Sassy
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 HP / 68 Atk / 24 Def / 164 SpD
~ Curse
~ Return
~ Gyro Ball
~ Aqua Tail

My goal with this set is to make a Curselax equivalent in the UU metagame. Curselax proves himself again and again, and I thought I'd try to find something that would work in the UU game. Thus, CurseLick was born! I feel terrible, however, avoiding Explosion because it's such a great move due to STAB. But you see, with this set, the idea is to stay alive and replicate a Curselax. Return is better than Body Slam as it has a 102 base power with max happiness. Gyro Ball makes a nice replacement of Crunch/Fire Punch, and Rest is there to heal up after some curses, and hopefully take a lot of hits.

Floatzel@Life Orb
Nature: Jolly
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def / 216 Spe
~ Waterfall
~ Bulk Up
~ Brick Break
~ Ice Punch

Only using him because it's my pair's second favorite pokemon. (First is Buizel. :3) It seems ok too, so I don't think it's that bad of a choice.

Mismagius@Leftovers
Nature: Timid
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 48 HP / 208 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Substitute
~ Calm Mind
~ Shadow Ball
~ HP [Fighting]

It's just a special force to be reckoned with. It's great at doing what it does, so I decided to use him.

Registeel@Leftovers
Nature: Careful
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Atk / 156 SpD
~ Iron Head
~ Earthquake
~ Explosion
~ Toxic

What UU team is complete without this thing? Crazy high defenses, and average HP make it a fearsome wall. Iron Head provides STAB, EQ for coverage (since I don't have it on any other pokemon in my team), and Explosion just when his health gets low, might as well make his useful with low health like that, right? Toxic is there to deal with the stall teams that thrive in UU.

Uxie@Light Clay
Nature: Impish
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 180 Def / 76 Spe
~ Light Screen
~ Reflect
~ Thunder Wave
~ U-Turn

Probably the best Dual-Screener ever. U-Turn is there to scout. Stealth Rock isn't to highly recommended to me because I probably won't be using that move unless it's on my starter. Thunder Wave is crippling, and Uxie can most likely pull it off before switching back out with a U-Turn.


So go ahead and rate it!

Electrode @ Focus Sash
Nature: Timid
Trait: Static
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Taunt
~ Thunder Wave
~ Thunderbolt
~ HP [Ground]/HP [Grass]

Okay. You may want HP Grass though. Much more useful for the Ground types that are immune to your 2nd and 3rd attack. Up to you though.

Licklicky @ Leftovers
Nature: Sassy
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 HP / 68 Atk / 24 Def / 164 SpD
~ Curse
~ Return
~ Gyro Ball
~ Explosion/Aqua Tail

Um... okay. Rest is genuinely pointless. and Explosion would really help out Lickilicky's average Attack stat. Although with Curse you may want to boost coverage with Aqua Tail. Curse is a setup move, and resting when you've already setup is dumb because you'll find yourself switching out and phazing yourself. EVs are looking good though.

Floatzel @ Leftovers/Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
~ Waterfall
~ Bulk Up
~ Brick Break
~ Ice Punch

CB Floatzel is just one way to sum up the word awful. Terrible defenses coupled with an only somewhat impressive Attack leaves Floatzel and his meh movepool in the depths of NU. Not only did you select one of the least used FE Pokemon in UU, you also chose the set at the bottom. It's at the bottom for a reason. :[ The Bulk Up, Dantzel and Kristy sets are much better, but Bulk Up would probably be the best for this team. Choose a nature either Adamant or Jolly and make the EVs something sensible. By the way, you almost never want Adamant on a CB set.

Mismagius@ Leftovers
Nature: Timid
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 48 HP / 208 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Substitute
~ Calm Mind
~ Shadow Ball
~ HP [Fighting]

This is a good set. Pretty useful although you don't have anything to pave the way for a sub setup. (Unless that's why you have Uxie but that's really more for game breaking sweeps like Linoone and Charizard)

Registeel@Leftovers
Nature: Careful
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Atk / 156 SpD
~ Iron Head
~ Earthquake
~ Explosion
~ Toxic

Toxic? Okay. Registeel is much better at T-Wave than Electrode is, but if you insist. This set is surprisingly offensive for something with such meh Attack. But if you insist. Other Steels (even with weakness to EQ) wall this set all over. Regirock in my opinion is a better Pokemon due to higher Attack but if you really need a balanced tank this should work.

What UU team is complete without this thing? I can think of a few

Uxie@Light Clay
Nature: Impish
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 180 Def / 76 Spe
~ Light Screen
~ Reflect
~ Memento
~ U-Turn

Okay... Memento is mainly for Belly Drummers but if you think so. I really dislike that you're leaving your only T-wave to a frail ball of... whatever's in that thing. This is really not doing much for your team as nothing needs a Memento to get started. (besides maybe Mismagius as mentioned before or Floatzel if you change the set)


So go ahead and rate it!

Your team has a few weaknesses. The rare Curse Regirock, or any of the NU Hyper Cutters with SD could potentially set up on Uxie. Too bad they're slow.

I don't know why people think they need choice items to win. They don't.

Are you speaking of others or me? My team only had one choice item, so I'm hoping you meant other people.

Electrode will be changed to HP[Grass] because what you said makes a ton of sense.

Likcilicky will be getting Aqua Tail because as in the description, the idea of the set is to stay alive, not commit suicide.

Floatzel, I will change to the bulk up set.

Registeel is keeping toxic because I need something to deal with Stall teams if I run into them. I have nothing that can tear a wall down easily and keep themselves alive. And isn't Toxic a stall team tactic itself? Registeel is immune, so I thought he'd be great.

I'll put T-Wave on Uxie too, because now that I think of it, I probably won't be using Memento too often. :/

Actually I was kind of talking to myself with the choice item thing. :b

Although I didn't want to talk you out of Memento... it's just I couldn't see where you would have an outlined use for it. Bellyzard and Bellynoone are usually what Memento is used for.
