The "Fifth" Riech (seeing as Anti's Fourth Reich will never fall!) [UU RMT]

[.Gamer]

This is my RMT

​

Welcome, men, women, boys, and girls of all ages, to another RMT by your's truly.

I decided that OU is boring, and as D_A once said, "clustermuck." use your imagination

So I decided, lets go down a tier, to the tier of the UnderUsed Pokemon. I decided, a theme would be nice, for nicknames and such. Since I have to write a paper about Winston Churchill in World War II, and I'm Germany in Diplomacy, I chose the Third Reich of Hitler.

The Team at a Glance

Team Building Process

I really don't know why I do these but, I also plan on posting it on Smogon, and they like them so yeah.​

So I wanted to try a UU stall team that didn't look identical to Elf Stall (which is actually hard, most of them look just like it) so here goes.

I needed a good reliable lead, so I picked arguably the best spiker in UU, Froslass.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
If its stall, you need as many entry hazards as possible, which means I needed Stealth Rock support. I needed something bulky, with a couple of obvious counters, I went with the reliable (and surprisingly theme fitting) Registeel.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*"image removed"
Now I got my entry hazards worked out and I needed something that could PHaze, so I have alwasy run into problems with Venusaur being a royal a pain in the you know what, so I went with it.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*"image removed"*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Then in order to counter it I knew right when I started this team, I wanted a Hazer, lest my PHazer fall to more powerful forces, that Hazer was Milotic. Its been reliable to me in the past, and under conditions, is where it really starts to shine.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*"image removed"*pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed*
At this point I just needed some filler, a Spin Blocker was one of those things. I liked Spiritomb, because it was overall awesome and has some really cool sets. It is fairly bulky with solid defenses.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*"image removed"*pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed*
I wasn't sure what else to put, I figured a screener might work for extra defenses and all that jazz, so I went with Gardevior, mostly because Trace is a really cool ability and it actually has moderate defenses.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*"image removed"*pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Unforunately, it didn't work out, the ability changing thing was way too gimmicky, even for my tastes (for anyone who doesn't know, I use alot of gimmicks, and usually badly). I was encountering heavy problems with statuses, as Milotic can only do so much, so I thought Umbreon might fight the bill, with its Curse/Wish/Heal Bell combo, but not really.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*"image removed"*pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Umbreon is kinda not fitting right now, so I'm currently testing an Altaria, as it resists a lot of moves common to the UU metagame, or is at least neutral to them, which is nice. So yeah its in the works.

In Depth Look

​

The Leading Lady

Frosslass @ Leftovers
Trait: Snow Cloak
248 HP | 248 Def | 16 Spe
Nature: Timid
====================
~Spikes
~Pain Split
~Ice Beam
~Taunt

I chose this set because it worked for D_A, so its obviously good (not to brown nose or anything), but it really is a good set. It viritually garuntees at least two layers of Spikes against any lead, except for an Ampibom who carries Pursuit (yes they do exist and are actually really annoying). Pain Split is after I have at least 2 layers up, I just try and wear down the enemy until Frosslass dies. Taunt is good for stopping slower leads who think its a suicide set.

Named Eva Braun because that was Hitler's woman.

The Chief of Command

Altaria @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
252 HP | 200 Def | 56 Sp.D.
Nature: Calm
=====================
~Heal Bell
~Roost
~Flamethrower
~Dragon Pulse

Like I said, trying to find a replacement for my status spot. Altaria actually fits the bill nicely, Natural Cure makes it do wonderfully. It also happens to be immune to Toxic Spikes and regular Spikes, which I previously was not, and was making some problems for my own team. Heal Bell helps clear other conditions that might be afflicting my other Pokemon. Roost helps it heal off SR damage and stall longer. Flamethrower is for Steel-types or bulky Grass-types that might try to wall it. I've had some problems with this as well as the others, it, along with Venusaur are both weak to Ice-Type damage, and that creates some problems late game. Since Milotic and Registeel can't just switch in and take all the damage in the world. So I'm looking for advice on what to replace this fluffy dragon with.

Named after Alfred Jodl, because he was the leader of the Armed forces in Nazi Germany, and I kind of ran out of high ranking Nazi officials to think of.

The Minister of the Interior

Milotic @ Leftovers
Trait: Marvel Scale
252 HP | 252 Def | 4 Sp.D.
Bold Nature
====================
~Surf
~Recover
~Haze
~Ice Beam

Milotic is basically a must have on any good UU stall team. Its ability to turn status ailments into something good, is very good, and very desired. Its also a rather formidable attacking force. STABed Surf and Ice Beam hit just about everything for neutral damage. Haze works wonders against stupid annoyances like Curse Umbreon (which I like but not against me). Recover is to make sure I don't get slaughtered or dominated by entry hazards.

-> I was previously using a RestTalk set with RestTalk|Haze|Surf but I found I was more or less defensless against Venusar, so I need to try and perfect this 'mon to maximum effectiveness.

Named after Hienrich Himmler, because he was the head of SS and Milotic is vital to holding my team together like he was to the SS.

The Good Doctor

Venusaur @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
220 HP | 252 Def | 36 Sp.D.
Calm Nature
=====================
~Energy Ball
~Leech Seed
~Light Screen
~Sleep Powder

I chose Venusaur for this team because lets face it, what CAN'T this thing do? It can PHaze, Sweep (physically and specially), Tank, Support, it can do just about every job there is. I was basically told to use this set, and I have to say it works quite well. Only problem is that it becomes rather predictable and is easy to predict around and eventually just a dead weight. But, if I happen to kill all opposing Grass-Types (a.k.a. Venusaurs) then this baby works like a charm. The moves usually something like this: Leech Seed -> Sleep Powder -> Energy Ball/Screen. This way, I get either sleep or a seed on the enemy (assuming they hit). Its fun and all, but I'm starting to think I should drop Light Screen for Sludge Bomb, in order to hurt more stuff.

Named after Dr. Mengele because he was a "doctor" who did awful stuff to people during WWII and it kinda sounds cool to be honest.

The Führer

*image removed* @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
4 HP | 252 Def | 252 Sp.D.
Nature: Bold
====================
~Thunder Wave
~Stealth Rock
~Iron Head
~Earthquake

Basically, there is nothing original about this set. At all. Except the EV spread, but I really didn't think it mattered, tanks like a wall, survives a ton of hits, can paralyze the target, get up rocks, do some damage, go get a copy of today's paper, set the DVR, grab a V8, and be on its merry way. Stealth Rocks is there because its vital to every stall team. Thunder Wave is for slowing down sweepers and just to be generally annoying. EQ and Iron Head are just for funsies and dealing minimal to no net damage.

Do I really have to spell out why its Hitler?

The Propogandist

Spiritomb @ (guess) Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
252 HP | 252 Def | 4 Sp.D.
Nature: Bold
====================
~Calm Mind
~Dark Pulse
~Hidden Power [Fighting]
~Pain Split

CM Tomb is a powerhouse. With no weaks, it makes it even better. After 2 CMs, it survives just about everything. After more, its a wrecking ball. HP Fighting is mostly just for Steelix, since my team has problems with it in general. Dark Pulse is for STAB, Pain Split is for healing, and damaging the enemy. I feel like having CM Tomb makes my team more of a semi-stall, but I tried the mono-attacking set, but I wasn't crazy about getting walled by Steelix, or other things that were bulky and somewhat resistant to Dark Pulse.

Nammed after Joseph Goebbels, because Spiritomb is basically the face of UU stall.

Last Look

So, there is my UU Stall team, themed after Nazi Germany. I need help finding a solid replacement for Altaria or a better moveset. Thanks for reading.

Have a nice day.

Offensive Threats

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Alakazam - Tomb

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Ambipom - Switch to Tomb, then to Milotic or Venusaur

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Arcanine - Milotic

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Azumarill - Milotic deals with CB version, I can usually predict around other versions good enough

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Blaziken - Milotic

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Drapion - Attacking versions are walled. RestTalk and PHazing verisons are annoying.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Hitmontop - Walled by everything but Registeel.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Houndoom - Milotic.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Kabutops - Milotic or Registeel. In rain it decimates me.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Kangaskhan - Not much of a problem.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Leafeon - Registeel or Froslass

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Magmortar - Tomb can do an okay job after a few CMs, but aside from that nothing really.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Magneton - Altaria

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Mismagius - Tomb

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Omastar - Venusaur

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Poliwrath - Tomb, Venusaur

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Porygonz - Its BROKEN annoying. If its the bulky variant, it sweeps me.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Swellow - Milotic to kill it, Registeel to wall it.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Torterra - Never faced one because they aren't that common.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Venusaur - Roaring versions are annoying since I can't PHaze them back. Other versions are pretty easily dealt with.


Defensive Threats

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Blastoise - Venusaur

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Chansey - Annoying as heck. Best I can hope to do is Seed it and PHaze it as much as possible.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Claydol - Milotic or Tomb or Froslass.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Cloyster - Kinda annoying, but HP Fighting after a few CMs kills fast.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Milotic - After Venusaur is gone, it destroys me.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Nidoqueen - Froslass can Taunt it forcing a switch or attack. Milotic deals with it otherwise.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Quagsire - Venusaur.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Regirock - Milotic, Venusaur.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Registeel - Milotic, Venusaur, if I can set up Tomb, then Tomb as well.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Rotom - Tomb.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Slowbro - Tomb.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Spiritomb - Venusaur take its attacks.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Umbreon - Tomb.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Uxie - Tomb.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Weezing - Milotic or Altaria

 

[Alternative]

Not much that I can see here, except some of the nature of Hitler Registeel.

Registeel wants Impish, so your Iron Head/EQ aren't weakened.

Also, you might want to change Venusaur to a PHazing set, if you thinkyour current set is dead weight. PHzing is a must on every stall team to rack up the most damage.

 

[Dark Azelf]

Ok no Rapid Spinner = auto death in this metagame.

Last Pokemon sweep weak, put Perish Song >> Heal Bell on Altaria.

Synthesis >> Leech Seed. Roar over Light Screen and Sludge Bomb >> Powder so you dont lose to SD Sceptile. Roar is because you lack a solid PHazer (Haze sucks since they can still pass subs and crap on you).

Rest/Sleep Talk/W-O-W/Dark Pulse on tomb to take status for you.

Registeels evs are frikking horrible. 252 HP / 100 Def / 156 S.DEF @ Careful please.
