The Team At A Glance ​

This is my first dabble in UU for a loooooong while. I decided I wanted to build a team suited to Mismagius, as it's one of my more favoured pokemon. I don't have much experience with the UU metagame, so I probably have some glaring flaws in it, but that's why I posted the team.​

"image removed"
Crobat @ Leftovers
Jolly
168 HP / 108 SpD / 232 Spe
-U-turn
-Brave Bird
-Taunt
-Roost​

Crobat comes in > Ambipom, as it actually plays a role after leading. Brave Bird hurts anything stupid enough to switch into it, and U-turn lets me start scouting. Counters the ever annoying Shaymin. EV's allow Crobat to survive two uboosted Psychic's from Uxie.​

Toxicroak @ Choice Band
Adamant
6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
-Cross Chop
-Stone Edge
-Sucker Punch
-Pursuit / Earthquake / Poison Jab​

Rain Dance counter. Period. Not sure on the last slot.​

Mismagius @ Leftovers
Timid Nature
108 HP / 180 SpA / 220 Spe
-Substitute
-Calm Mind
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball​

Standard yet extremely effective Mismagius. Teams well with Shaymin, both of which remove certain counters to the other. Everyone knows how it works, so I won't bore you with it. Shadow Ball for STAB blah blah. Switches into Explosions and is my make-shift spin blocker. Thunderbolt = Dead Crobat, and HP Fighting doesn't cover the same threats as in OU.​

Registeel @ Leftovers
Careful Nature
252 HP / 100 Atk / 156 SpD
Clear Body
-Iron Head
-Earthquake
-Thunder Wave
-Stealth Rock​

Sets Stealth Rock and causes headaches. Walls an abundant amount of the UU metagame. Completely halts fliers like Swellow, and can switch into Crobat, who annoys Shaymin.​

Blaziken @ Choice Scarf
Mild Nature
76 Atk / 220 SpA / 212 Spe
Blaze
-Superpower
-Hidden Power Ice
-Overheat
-ThunderPunch​

Scarf Blaziken hurts. Alot. Superpower sorts out Chansey and the like, with ThunderPunch covering fliers and the less-bulky waters. Overheat for an amazingly powerful STAB, HP ICE covers Gligar, Altaria etc. Revenge kills Shaymin, who otherwise is a problem.

Shaymin-L @ Life Orb
Modest Nature
4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Natural Cure
-Seed Flare
-Earth Power
-Air Slash
-Rest​

Most used UU, and for good reason. Seed Flare is massive here. Great STAB + the SpD drop is nice. Earth Power makes Registeel think twice, and Shaymin can just Rest off any Thunder Wave's aimed it's way. Air Slash is for other Shaymin, as well as Roserade and some fighters.​

__________​

Currently has performed well on Shoddy (3 losses out of around 35+ battles), but I just think it's lacking... something.​

No one uses Aerial Ace on Kabutops:

Kabutops | Move | X-Scissor | 39.2
Kabutops | Move | Aerial Ace | 8.5

Slowbro isn't a good Kabutops counter. Toxicroak, Poliwrath, and Quagsire are much better. Toxicroak is the best UU Rain Dance counter in the metagame.

I find it kind of funny when you mention Aerial Ace as threatening Poliwrath...because Slowbro takes more from Stone Edge (150 BP) than Poliwrath takes from Aerial Ace (120 BP). X-Scissor is also common, so you better watch out for that too.

Poliwrath > Slowbro. I don't see what he's even doing for your team. A more reliable counter to Rhydon never hurts, does it?

i wouldn't run mild on blaziken. lowering def is a huge wager on a revenge killer who has resistances to some common priority. i'd go rash instead.

most crobat sets, even bulky ones, run both life orb and some atk evs to do enough damage with brave bird. to have those same expectations for your crobat set is unrealistic.

Yes, it seems so. I was running Poliwrath previously, but it did hardly anything for me other than counter the occasional Kabutops.

With Superpower lowering defense anyway, I don't intend on Blaziken switching into many physical attacks. I'll consider Life Orb, but Brave Bird is mainly for a final attack before sacrificing it to bring something else in.
