II. Movesets for UU Pokemon

Sandslash (M) @ Choice Band / Leftovers
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 176 HP / 252 Atk / 80 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Brick Break / Swords Dance
- Hidden Power [Flying]

I like SDslash better but Choice Band is an opinion. I would move some Defense and HP EVs into Speed if you're using CB.

Camerupt (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Magma Armor
EVs: 156 HP / 252 Atk / 100 SAtk
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
-Explosion
-Fire Blast
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide

This thing is a monster in UU. CB gives QuakeSlide the kick it needs and when you're HP is just too low you can blow up.

Omastar (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 136 HP / 120 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Rain Dance
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Surf

Rain Dancing Omastar. Ice Beam and Surf are standard. HP Grass because of some of the problems you might have with Quagsire.

I'm planning to edit this and add more later. I don't want this to be closed.

Well, good job so far. I can wait to see more! :)

 

[Firebolt5]

Thanks a lot. I will complete more of it but my NetBattle is down.

 

[Pax Deorum]

If we wanted a page with random sets we'd just go to smogon

 

[Firebolt5]

That's good for you Pax Deorum.

 

[starmie fighter]

this tells me nothing about the UU metagame, like what pokemon are actually used, what pokemon are major threats, etc.

this is just a tier list copied from smogon or pokerealm etc, with random movesets listed

 

[Drayano]

Not to mention that tier list is wrong in many places, I mean how the hell is Butterfree UU ._.

And I checked for any NUs like Castform/Plusle and they weren't there

 

[jc_rcw]

The list is mixed with NU pokemons.

 

[Pyrotechnix]

Uhh..how about writing a guide where you explain the UU metagame, tell of the many strategies involved, talk about what goes into a good team, what you are commonly going to see when playing in said metagame, instead of making a big tier list that isn't even accurate and then listing some movesets for pokemon. I could do what you did in 10 minutes.

 

[Allegoric Zapdos]

What do you want people to do with this? You just type in a inaccurate tier list and have movesets for them. It would be easier to go to Smogon and type Adv: Shedenja in the search than scroll through a long list. You don't have a sentence about the UU Metagame and how it's different from the other Metagames. No common threats. This is no guide, it's a list.

 

[Flamman]

dude, you cut 'n paste a lot lately not? first the noob-hate-thingie, now this, man if i want to read this stuff, i go to smogon, give me a break!

 

[Fr0st]

UU and NU are two different metagames and mixing them is a huge mistake in my opinion... UU pokemon are alot stronger and have a much wider range of attacks than NU's... The rest of the things that are wrong are listed above me in those posts^

This one especially

this tells me nothing about the UU metagame, like what pokemon are actually used, what pokemon are major threats, etc.

this is just a tier list copied from smogon or pokerealm etc, with random movesets listed

 

[Lathspell]

That's good for you Pax Deorum.

Don't really talk without knowing what you're saying. If anyone should write a guide for UU/NU that's certainly Pax. He's one of the best around here in those respective metagames. After reading some of your weird posts, I can tell that you are more noobish than many of the noobs that you seem to hate so much. No offense meant, you seem know something about pokemon, but you're trying to mix where you don't really belong. Get some experience in those areas before you begin writing a guide. Much much more experience. Certainly more than just copy/paste a list of pokemon and some random sets for them.

lol, and you call other people noobs. Copy and pasting is pretty noobish too.

Also, Smogon has a better UU Guide (it's just not up on the main site yet): https://www.smogon.com/community/showthread.php?t=6079&highlight=UnderUsed
And no, NUs like Butterfree, Flareon, and Bellossom aren't included in that guide.

Please don't post copy-and-paste guides that you put no time into. They are often times flawed, and even if they aren't, it's just better if people went to the site that you copied from.
