Who said theorymon was a bad thing? No, I'm not talking about using it for arguments on whether Froslass is BL or UU, whether Garchomp is Uber, or if Gliscor really does suck enough to be forsaken completely. When you make a team, you have to start somewhere. You can't test every single Pokemon not on the banlist for the tier you plan on building your team around, unless you're trying to create the perfect team. Sometimes you test a team and it just doesn't work. Maybe that'll be the case with this team. Maybe it won't. It doesn't matter either way. All I can tell is that I will use it to its full potential. This team is pretty straightfoward from the get-go, but it eventually boils into a UU stall team composed almost entirely of former members of the BL tier. Would you care to introduce your team?

Key:
♂ indicates a move that directly does damage using the attack stat.
♀ indicates a move that directly does damage using the special attack stat.
○ indicates a move that does indirect damage or no damage at all.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ambipom @ Life Orb
Jolly Nature
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
♂ Fake Out
♂ U-turn
♂ Brick Break
♂ Return
My lead. It flinches the opponent. It flees. Brick Break + Return is only resisted by Ghost types. (With Technician + STAB + Life Orb + Priority, Fake Out really embarrasses the opponent.)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Hariyama @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
76 HP / 180 Atk / 252 Def
♂ Knock Off
♂ Force Palm
♂ Ice Punch
○ Whirlwind
Let's abuse a great ability, an unusually high HP paired with a great type, and a good support movepool, shall we? It sure is slow, and it has poor defenses, but a single Aerial Ace isn't going to be bringing this thing down any time soon. Knock Off ruins Lefties extremists and generally any item whore. Whirlwind hurts things that just eat up Ice + Fighting. (And for phazing).
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moltres @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
248 HP / 148 Def / 112 Spe
♀ Flamethrower
○ Roost
○ Substitute
○ Toxic
This set was designed for OU but it should still work in UU. It's good that Heatran is out of the equation. (Although admittedly I use my UU teams in OU anyway). Anyway this set is pretty obvious. Sub + Roost is really a long, repetitive process that keeps Moltres from fainting for a while. Toxic cripples non-Poison/Steel-types, and if they don't resist Flamethrower they're in for a nasty surprise.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Gardevoir @ Leftovers
Timid Nature
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
♀ Shadow Ball
○ Calm Mind
♀ Psychic
♀ Focus Blast
A Trace Sweeper? Well, Porygon2 sucks so it'll have to be Gardevoir. Psychic + Ghost + Fighting really is good coverage and is very rarely resisted in UU, if at all. Thunderbolt sounded like an appetizing option but STAB is always good and I wanted Calm Mind.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kabutops@Leftovers
Impish Nature
252 HP / 196 Def / 60 SpD
♂ Stone Edge
♂ Waterfall
○ Rapid Spin
○ Stealth Rock
D_A said I had a bird weak. (It's not uncommon). Stone Edge takes care of that. SR can hurt them if they decide to come back in, and Rapid Spin support for Moltres' weakness thereof.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Umbreon @ Leftovers
Sassy Nature
252 HP / 200 Atk / 56 SpD
○ Curse
♂ Payback
○ Wish
○ Baton Pass
Switch Umbreon in on something that can't defeat it. Curse once or even more times. Then Baton Pass to Hariyama or maybe even Cloyster. If I get trapped I can just Payback + Wish until someone dies. This will be even more useful if the opposition is down to one Pokemon. Umbreon's bulkiness really keeps it from even risking OHKOs with most attacks, even many fighting moves.
