    Well, it's my first RMT here (and a UU team at that!). I'm not sure I can select to make a team which works as a team, rather than a whole bunch of decent pokémon. Anyway, I think I need some help on this.

    My Team

    ---------------------------

    Chatot     [Norm/Fly]
    Item: Focus Sash
    Ability: Tangled Feet
    Nature: Modest (+SpA, -Atk)
    Moves: Chatter
    Hyper Voice
    Torment/Roost
    Encore
    EVs: 252 Speed, 82 SpA, 176 HP

    My lead. Only Special, but hyper-annoying. Chatter for confusion (and signature move), hyper voice for super-STAB. Not sure about roost for healing or torment, as it is quite fragile and torment can be so annoying. Encore for that extra punch in the face.
    ---------------------------

    Skuntank [Dark/Psn]
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Aftermath
    Nature: Jolly (+Speed, -SpA)
    Moves: Crunch
    Poison Jab
    Roar
    Explosion
    EVs: 106 Speed, 252 Atk, 152 Def

    Physical Sweeper. Reliable STAB with good neutral coverage, STAB with good physical type coverage (most psychic/ghost types are severely weak to physical), roar for phazing and explosion as a finisher.
    ---------------------------

    Bastiodon [Steel/Rock]
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Sturdy
    Nature: Careful (+SpD, -SpA)
    Moves: Metal Burst
    Taunt
    Curse
    Swagger
    EVs: 252 HP, 172 SpD, 88 Def

    A Counterer. Metal Burst absorbs and reflects any attack for extra damage, but defenses could prevent full use. Enigma Berry restores heatlh if hit by super effective, so extra hits on them. Taunt to ensure max usage of Metal Burst, Curse to bulk up stats, Swagger to kinda piss off and do more reflection damage.
    ---------------------------

    Mr. Mime [Psy]
    Item: Choice Specs
    Ability: Filter
    Nature: Timid (+Speed, -Atk)
    Moves: Psychic
    Shadow Ball
    Thunderbolt
    Trick
    EVs: 252 Speed, 172 HP, 86 SpA

    Mr. Mime is awesome. Fast, powerful, good sp. defense. Moves for type coverage, trick for physicals. Switch to something else. Classic choice set + sneakiness.
    ---------------------------

    Poliwrath [Water/Fight]
    Item: Salac Berry
    Ability: Water Absorb
    Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
    Moves: Waterfall
    Substitute
    Belly Drum
    Focus Punch
    EVs: 216 Atk, 216 Speed, 78 HP

    Super-mega-awesome. Substitute for stalling, belly drum for 4x Atk and 1.5x Speed with Salac, Waterfall for STAB or Focus Punch for Sub-Punch. Possible reusability in Water Absorb (free switch-ins), however may screw up Salac activation.
    ---------------------------

    Sandslash [Ground]
    Item: Expert Belt
    Ability: Sand Veil
    Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
    Moves: Earthquake
    Rock Slide
    Stealth Rock
    Rapid Spin
    EVs: 252 Atk, 176 Speed, 82 Def

    Rock/Ground good type coverage. EQ for power, STAB. Rock Slide for accuracy, flinch (shouldn't be too useful though... lousy speed). Stealth Rock for incomings and Rapid Spin for getting rid of things. Too bad Sand Veil won't be used though.

    (Side Note: does Defog work like Rapid Spin? D/P Handbook says it does. Big shock!)

    I await suggestions and the like.


    [P.S. This would have pictures, but it keeps screwing up when I try to put them in. Yes, I am using the button near the centre of the formatting bar. I might try later through an edit.]

    Focus sash on Bastiodon, and Mr. Mime is better used as a baton passer. Not sure about the rest, I'm not much for UU. Also replace poison jab on skuntank, can probably make better coverage use of a different move.

    No way man Bastiodon can take hits use leftovers on him
     
    Which pokemon do you have covering for Poliwraths Water Absorb ?
     
    I mean if your gonna take advantage of Water Absorb which pokemon will help it benefit or will it just be by chance ?

    Sorry I see Bas.

    Well...

    You're right. I guess Bastiodon and Sandslash could attract some water, with Surf being as popular as it is...

    Bastiodon's defenses are almost equal. I could also use Mr. Mime, as he has pretty good (120 base) SpD. Maybe I should switch Sandslash for someone else...
     
    Well do you want both Sp def and Def ?

    Meganium isn't looking too bad on this team. Is it Trick Room ?
     
    Yeah. May I suggest Weezing ? With only Psychic moves able to hit you'll only have to worry about a HP Ground pokemon.

    There is also Probopass,Steelix, Shuckle ( If it's still UU)
     
    Shuckle is always a favorite. Since you were training Mr Mime in Sp def didn't think you needed another. How about Hypno ? It can be an attacker or Sp atk
     
    There's a good range of helpful tools on psypokes.com which I use to help, esp. the 'Type Analyzer'. I generally try to stick to one of each type, however shuckle could be a useful addition, not adding any major weaknesses. How do you think I should train him and who should I replace?
     
    Shuckle@ Gluttony
    252 HP 144 Def 110 Sp Def
    Knock Off
    Rest
    Stealth Rock/Earthquake ( Depending if you want it to fight back)
    Sleep talk might help or Encore
     
    Ideas for nature? Wouldn't Gluttony be better with a berry, like enigma or sitrus? I mean, I have some good options here, like gastro acid, power trick or the ever-popular toxi-stall. Should it be my SR pkmn? Of course, it can have encore on top of all this. Maybe power trick won't be so good after all.

    Just thinking. But definitely 252 HP EVs.
     
    Either Impish or Careful. If your worried about Items clause then you'll have you go with a berry, I was thinking about leftovers always a good choice since it can be used constantly.

    A staller is ever annoying and Shuckle was bred for it.
     
    I can change Bastiodon back to enigma, like he was originally.

    EDIT: I am thinking of putting Shuckle over Sandslash.

    Shuckle
    Leftovers
    Careful
    Sturdy

    Substitute
    Stealth Rock
    Toxic
    Encore

    Same EV spread as previously suggested. Any disagreements?

    Do you think that Poliwrath will be to weak to use Belly Drum then Sub for Focus Punch, most pokemon can out run it before it can get the hit out.

    Maybe 252 Atk 172 Spd 82

    Maximize attack so you won't have to use Belly Drum.
