UU Offensive Team

[HirakuNoShadow]

Well, since my OU Team was never rated by anyone (-depressed-), I've decided to put a halt on OU on try UU to kill some boredom. (Probably because I wrote a WALL of text)

First Glance (?)

Spoiler:

*image removed*Claydol - Stealth Rock + Rapid Spin Support (currently on "vacation")

*image removed*Kabutops - Stealth Rock + Rapid Spin Support / Lead
*image removed*Porygon2 - Utility Counter / Crippler
*image removed*Hitmonlee - Physical Sweeper
*image removed*Arcanine - Special or Mixed Sweeper
*image removed*Mismagius - Special Sweeper
*image removed*Drapion - Swords Dance Physical Sweeper

Spoiler:

Lead (perhaps) / Stealth Rock & Rapid Spinner

Claydol @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Bold
EV: 252 HP / 144 Defense / 144 Sp.Attack
Moves:
-Rapid Spin
-Stealth Rock
-Earth Power
-Shadow Ball / Toxic

The exact same set from Smogon - I really didn't have much idea for Claydol except Rapid Spin / Stealth Rock / Earth Power and Leftovers part :X . Anyways, Stealth Rock on the lead, rapid spin away any entry hazards, kill the lead if possible, switch on a resisted attack and get on with sweeping etc. May change Shadow Ball into Toxic though.

Lead Spinner / Stealth Rock user + Leads-Counter

Kabutops @ Lum Berry / Focus Sash
Ability: Battle Armour
Nature: Adamant
EV: 74 HP / 252 Attack / 184 Sp.Defense
Moves:
-Stone Edge
-Aqua Jet
-Stealth Rock
-Rapid Spin / Brick Break

Stealth Rocks and smashes through Yanmega, Crobat and Roserade with Stone Edge, and pick off slower opponents by using Aqua Jet. Also Rapid Spin off Stealth Rock or Brick Break to crush the dual screens if required. I might choose Lum Berry for not worrying about status, or Focus Sash to live through Roserade's Energy Ball ): I used Battle Armour to live through Critical Hits, since there is no rain support whatsoever in this team.

Utility / Trick Specs

Porygon2 @ Choice Specs
Ability: Trace
Nature: Modest
EV: 252 HP / 120 Defense / 136 Sp.Attack
Moves:
-Trick
-Recover
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam

One of my favourite Pokemon in UU (?) Chose over the "Defensive Duck" set from Smogon - since there aren't much threats inside UU. Crippling any physically offensive Pokemon using trick, then switching into Mismagius if it's a fighting attack or kill it.


Physical Sweeper

Hitmonlee @ Choice Band
Ability: Limber
Nature: Adamant
EV: 4 HP / 252 Attack / 252 Speed
Moves:
-Close Combat
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Sucker Punch

Hits hard, and smashes everything with a somewhat (?) decent speed. Does not get crippled with paralysis, I love it.


Mix / Special (perhaps) Sweeper

Arcanine @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Modest (Special) / Mild or Rash (Mix)
EV: 4 HP /252 Sp.Attack / 252 Speed
Moves (Currently special-based):
-Fire Blast
-Dragon Pulse
-HP Grass
-Extremespeed

Covers many types using Fire Blast and Dragon Pulse, HP Grass to smash bulky waters with, and extremespeed to finish off weakened foes. May change the Nature and few attacks if it's to be a mixed attacker for later on.


Revenge Killer

Mismagius @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Modest
EV: 4 HP / 252 Sp.Attack / 252 Speed
Moves:
-Shadow Ball
-HP Fighting
-Thunderbolt
-Trick

A little similar with Porygon2, except that it has better speed for worse Defense. Shadow Ball + HP Fighting for coverage, Thunderbolt for just a straight attack. Trick if I need to cripple an incoming threat.


Swords Dance Physical Sweeper

Drapion @ Life Orb
Ability: Sniper
Nature: Jolly
EV: 4 HP / 252 Attack / 252 Speed
Moves:
-Swords Dance
-Earthquake
-Night Slash
-Ice Fang

Boost that respectable 90 Base Attack to as high as Spear Pillar (?), then start attacking away, praying that a Critical Hit lands some time soon and score a guaranteed OHKO. Simple yet effective. Not sure for choosing from Ice Fang or Cross Poison though ): Coverage or Sniper power (?) Chose Ice Fang. Chose Life Orb over SL, due to Hax Clause ):


P.S - I should kill myself for using Smogon as like my Holy Bible ):

Considerations:
-Yanmega / Charizard / Moltres (Definitely Rapid Spin by then)
-Honchkrow
-Clefable
-Magmotar
-Blaziken

These are just my "back-ups" in case some of these Pokemon doesn't do decently anymore. Thank God UU has MUCH less threats than OU.

Everyone here uses smogon, its like they can't think for themselves
Lol just kidding guys, I have actually learned a lot from smogon, if you are serious about getting into competitive battling, you gotta use the best sets, best items, etc.

Now onto the rating, LO>>Scope Lens on Drapion, Competitive people frown on hax items and hax in general, it turns good battlers into whining babies. and Ice Fang>>Cross Poisen for coverage, whatever CP hits, Night Slash hits for same damage and has better coverage with Ice Fang.

That is the main one, im not the best advice giver on building a team, im still learning, but good thing there are people like 'zelf that know how to tear a team apart and build it back up.

Good luck with your team. :)

I have found Kabutops a better overall lead than Claydol in terms of Rapid Spin, as it does not lose to Taunt users badly, and can KO Yanmega.

Test it out if you want:

Kabutops @ Lum Berry / Focus Sash | Swift Swim
Adamant | 74 HP / 252 Atk / 184 SpD
Stealth Rock / Stone Edge / Aqua Jet / Waterfall - Brick Break - Rapid Spin

Stone Edge combined with Aqua Jet eliminates Crobat, Yanmega, and Ambipom. Last move slot is a toss-up, Waterfall is a main STAB option, and 2HKOs Hippopotas and Nidoqueen, Brick Brick eliminates screens, and Rapid Spin clears SR. Lum Berry cures status that leads rely on like Yanmega, Roserade, and Uxie, where as Focus Sash lets you survive attacks from Roserade, Yanmega, and Moltres, and finish them all with Stone Edge. It also lets you weaken Arcanine more (as you survive a HP Grass), but not KO it unless Stone Edge nags a critical hit, and Arcanine can still ExtremeSpeed you after HP Grass (he outruns Aqua Jet as Arcanine has a higher Speed stat). The worst lead you could encounter with this would be Uxie or Mesprit, but then they can provide an easy switch to Drapion, and then give you a chance to set-up.

Scope Lens is banned sometimes due to being a hax item, so just go with LO, and Arcanine should run LO too as no tournaments nor battles have Item Clause except Nintendo. I don't see any solid threats after skimming through UU tier. Cannot give a full rate due to inexperience in UU.

Awesome, I'll use Life Orb + Ice Fang for Drapion :P And here I thought I was being unoriginal xD Thx for the advice -waits for D_A to show up-

Since now I know that item clauses are rare, sure, I'll go with Life Orb too for Arcanine as well. I'll try testing out Kabutops for the team as well - since I don't particular have much problems with Grass type anyways. I'm pretty inexperienced in UU as well, so I'm probably gonna fail do so-so xD
