UU RMT

[Vrai]

Right so I was totally typing this earlier but my computer shut down, so here it goes again. :3

Um, this is my first RMT so don't laugh too hard. I've been working with UU lately, and I think this team has done pretty well. Don't take much thought of that, though; I'm by no means an experienced battler. Anyway, it'd be awesome if you guys could help me out and point out some things I should be paying attention to. :D

AT A GLANCE

Spiritomb (M) @ Spell Tag
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 244 HP/48 Atk/12 Spd/204 SAtk
Quiet nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Pursuit
- Shadow Ball
- Shadow Sneak

Offensive Spiritomb has done wonders against most of the leads I see. Ambipom usually switches out and I use Pursuit. If it stays in, it eats HP Fighting. Froslass is devastated by Shadow Ball + Shadow Sneak. Shadow Ball 2KOs Uxie. I haven't seen too many other leads apart from those three, but Spiritomb handles them well.

Toxicroak (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Sucker Punch
- Gunk Shot
- Ice Punch
- Cross Chop

My Water-type switch in. I usually can come in safely on Milotic and other such Pokemon to sweep. Gunk Shot hits extraordinarily hard on just about everything, even some Pokemon that are expected to be her counters.

Claydol @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/144 Def/114 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Shadow Ball

SR and Rapid Spin in one. That's basically its only purpose; it eats up Earthquakes directed at Toxicroak and Houndoom, though.

Venusaur (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 56 HP/72 Atk/216 Spd/164 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Sleep Powder
- Sludge Bomb
- Leaf Storm
- Earthquake
This fellow's done me well. I never seem to find the occasion to use a Scarfed Sleep Powder, which is my only concern about this set, I think. The EVs are to maximize both of his strengths while keeping him alive.

Houndoom (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Fire Blast
- Dark Pulse
- Pursuit

He's a good revenge-killer; most people don't expect the speed and get owned. I'm not sure what else to say. ;;

Moltres @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP/84 Def/176 Spd
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Roost
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Flamethrower

Stalls just about everything out. He can basically outplay almost every wall in UU one on one.

I'm not sure exactly what to say for most of the descriptions, so. :x
Anyway, I'd likely be comfortable with most Pokemon changes and moveset changes, so go ahead. Please and thank you. :3

Scarf Venusaur and Scarf Houndoom seems a bit overkill to be, especially since Venusaur can already handle most of the faster threats to this team. Three choiced team members also means a lot of switching, so it might be best to switch Houndoom up for something else, or at least switch his set up, maybe try running Nasty Plot since you lack a good sweeper.

Otherwise, I can't spot too much else. I'm pretty out of it when it comes to the UU metagame, but there doesn't seem to be many glaring weaks.

Alright, cool. I like the idea of a mixed Venusaur, so I'll probably just keep the same set but adjust it slightly, giving it LO over Scarf. I'll try the Nasty Plot set too and see how that works out.
