    Decided I was tired of seeing OU Pokemon reappearing "GARCHOMP YOU LOSE LOL!" Plus I was tired of n00bs using ubers in a match and forcing me to forfeit. I just made it, and I was thinking on replacing Blastoise with something better, new at the UU stuff.

    [PokeCommunity.com] UU Shoddy Team- In need of help

    Hitmontop @ Leftovers
    Intimidate
    Careful
    252 Att, 230 HP, 28 Def
    Moveset
    Earthquake
    Close Combat
    Stone Edge
    Rapid Spin​

    This guy is mainly for taking out who try to set up Stealth Rock/Spikes. It's also pretty nice in a sense that it has high attack and speed. Stone Edge/EQ/CC for just destroying plenty of strong leads.​


    [PokeCommunity.com] UU Shoddy Team- In need of help

    Hypno @ Leftovers
    Insomnia
    Bold
    252 HP, 200 Sp Def, 58 Def
    Moveset
    Wish
    Hypnosis
    Light Screen
    Seismic Toss​

    Heard this thing was awesome, sort of like the UU Blissey, so, why not give it a try? Reflect so physical damage is halved since my special defenses are nearly maxed. Hypnosis and Wish are self explanatory, and Seismic Toss since it's Attack and Special Attack are ew.​

    Altaria @ Leftovers
    Natural Cure
    Careful
    252 HP, 200 Def, 58 Sp Def
    Moveset
    Dragon Claw
    Roost
    Earthquake
    Toxic​


    Pretty standard wall. Protect so I can get a sneak look at what my opponents are planning to do, Toxic to annoy anything that doesn't have Natural Cure. Surf and Ice Beam are there for obvious reasons.​

    Swellow @ Flame Orb
    Jolly
    Guts
    252 Att, 252 Spd, 6 HP
    Moveset
    Protect
    Toxic
    Brave Bird
    Facade​

    Heard this thing makes people cry at night, so I decided to run it in my team. Maxed out Speed and Attack so nothing can really outspeed it, minus a few other Pokemon faster/more attack. Protect to start Flame Orb, Toxic to cripple, Facade is Facade thus obvious. Brave Bird to just SLAM things (thank you ABYAY)​

    [PokeCommunity.com] UU Shoddy Team- In need of help

    Nidoking @ Life Orb
    Poison Point
    Rash
    130 Att, 80 Def, 48 Spd, 252 Sp Att
    Moveset
    Thunderbolt
    Earthquake
    Flamethrower
    Megahorn​

    MixKing there for just about anything that tries to hurt my team. Megahorn for annoying Psychics (if I can hit first) Thunderbolt for waters, flamethrowers for steel and grass, and EQ is standard.​

    Relicanth @ Choice Band
    Rock Head
    Adamant
    14 HP, 252 Att, 244 Spd
    Moveset
    Head Smash
    Double Edge
    Earthquake
    Waterfall

    This thing is friggin awesome. Head Smash and Double Edge for neautral damage that really hurts. Waterfall > Aqua Tail for flinch chance. EQ is once again, standard ol' EQ.

    Look okayish.

    Your team is Swellow weak, because you don't have any normal or flying resist. You need add resist. Golem, Probopass and Relicanth are good choices, because they all stop Swellow.

    Pinsir can be also problem. Hitmontop is your best bet. Move those Spd EVs to HP, because Top has awful base HP. Scyther can also be problematic.

    Then there is Ninetales. Hypno can't stop him because Ninetales just sleep him and then NP few times. Adding Altaria can help you.

    Replace Blastoise with Altraria, so you get Ninetales counter, switch in to 3 of Pinsir moves and Aromatherapist. Run Careful with 252 HP/200 Def/56 SDef/

    Your team is still Swellow weak, so you need rock resist. Just replace Kangaskhan with Rock type Choice Bander. Golem or Relicanth works well.

    Looks pretty standard, should work well. Perhaps a little alter to the EVs, but I'm not too good with EV spreads.

    Wish
    Hypnosis
    Light Screen
    Seismic Toss​

    If you use Bold, you lol at most UU Sp.Sweepers anyways, especially with a Light Screen up, but you have that extra bit of defense, and that will really help a wall like this.

    Heard this thing was awesome, sort of like the UU Blissey, so, why not give it a try? Reflect so physical damage is halved since my special defenses are nearly maxed. Hypnosis and Wish are self explanatory, and Seismic Toss since it's Attack and Special Attack are ew.​

    Blastoise @ Leftovers
    Torrent
    Calm
    252 Def, 252 Sp Def, 6 HP
    Moveset
    Surf
    Toxic
    Ice Beam
    Protect​

    Pretty standard wall. Protect so I can get a sneak look at what my opponents are planning to do, Toxic to annoy anything that doesn't have Natural Cure. Surf and Ice Beam are there for obvious reasons.

    Exactly what I run on Blastoise.

    Guts
    252 Att, 252 Spd, 6 HP
    Moveset
    Protect
    Aerial Ace
    Toxic
    Facade​

    Heard this thing makes people cry at night, so I decided to run it in my team. Maxed out Speed and Attack so nothing can really outspeed it, minus a few other Pokemon faster/more attack. Protect to start Flame Orb, Toxic to weaken enemies, Facade is Facade thus obvious. Aerial Ace is necessary flying move.​

    You hear a lot of things, don't you? Lol. Well, he may be fast, but there's a little item called Choice Scarf. Anything Scarfed with an Ice, Rock or Electric move can OHKO or do serious damage. Lose Toxic, the turn that you use it will be the turn you die in most cases, replace it with U-Turn. Aerial Ace pwns sucks, so go Brave Bird for twice the STAB damage.

    Thunderbolt
    Earthquake
    Flamethrower/Fire Blast
    Megahorn​

    Meh, looking at the EV spread/Nature, it looks pretty vulnerbale to pretty much all sweepers, maybe give a little more Defensive EVs, but the MixSet look fine.

    MixKing there for just about anything that tries to hurt my team. Megahorn for annoying Psychics (if I can hit first) Thunderbolt for waters, flamethrowers for steel and grass, and EQ is standard.​

    Kangaskhan @ Choice Band
    Scrappy
    Adamant
    252 HP, 252 Att, 6 Def
    Moveset
    Ice Punch
    Hammer Arm Brick Break
    Earthquake
    Aerial Ace/Crunch/Outrage

    Never used him before, but I always wanted to. No special since his special is like a dying goldfish; no way to make it better. Aerial Ace for fighting types, Hammer arm for any normal/steel types, and EQ and Ice Punch for overall damage.​

    Don't run speed reducing moves on him please : ( Aerial Ace is meh. Kanga is one of the fairly few amount of pokemon capable of subpunching well, so you could try that.

    Swellow would love U-Turn > Toxic...it's WAY too frail to even think of that word. Sure it'll get a rock type hit, but guess what...you're dead.

    Hitmontop needs a LOT of HP. It's hitting like...240 without it, so 200+ EVs in HP would be nice.

    People already suggested things above, but these two things struck out the most to me.

    A considerable option on Swellow to make it suicidal is Brave Bird; it packs double Ace's power to just SLAM things hard.
     
    Thanks Jimmyray for the critique. Now that I look at it, Toxic in Swellow was kinda stupid. I'll be replacing it with Brave Bird since kamikazi style attacks don't really matter since Flame Orb will be eating it up anyway.

    I'm replacing Blastoise with Altaria, and Kangaskhan with Relicanth, I'll post their EVs and such later once I've finished making adjustinments.
     
    I disagree with this whole "Toxic is bad on Swellow." I don't see how "it'll be dead" is a good argument at all, since you certainly won't be switching in on any rock types. You can hit a ton of things switching in, and UU clerics are quite predictable and you can use them as set-up fodders if tyou play it right. Toxic can actually cripple a lot of its counters as they switch in - saying Toxic is bad on Swellow is pretty narrow-minded (but eh, I'm the king of that).

    I do agree though, Brave Bird should go on it.
     
    So, it's either U-Turn or Toxic, since I sorta like Kamikazi style Swellow.
     
    It depends, if you want to scout switches, use U-Turn. If you want to cripple them, Toxic. Personal preference really...
     
    I'll with Toxic since I like the idea of evil Swellow.
