UU stall team

[=major yum!]

My knowledge of UU is very limited, but I have decided to try my hand at making a stall team that really revolves around the use of poison and the various forms of spikes. Sorry about the lack of pictures, but for some reason I couldn't post the thread with images.


Nidoqueen@ Lum berry
Ability: Poison point
Nature: Bold
252 HP/200 Def/44 Spd/12 SpDef
Toxic Spikes
Earth Power
Ice Beam
Taunt

A standard Nidoqueen lead, used for setting up Toxic Spikes and tanking a hit from Roserades. Considering swapping around the defense evs with the special defense evs, but who am I to question the wisdom of Smogon?



Umbreon@ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
Nature: Sassy
252 HP/200 Atk/56 SpDef
Curse
Payback
Wish
Protect

Curse Umbreon provides wish support and a great way to stall the opponent out of HP, because of its capability to take hits from both ends of the defensive spectrum.



Miltank@ Leftovers
Ability: Scrappy
Nature: Impish
252 HP/224 Def/ 32 Spd
Heal Bell
Stealth Rock
Milk Drink
Body Slam

Miltank sets up stealth rock and cures status conditions. I opted for Scrappy over thick fat, but if thick fat is a better choice then the switch will be made.



Mismagius@ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Calm
252 HP/40 Def/ 226 SpDef
Perish Song
Mean Look
Protect
Pain Split

Mismagius is my Spin Blocker, phazer, and last Pokémon sweep stopper. This set may be gimmicky but believe it or not, it works.



Cloyster@ Leftovers
Ability: Shell Armour
Nature: Bold
252HP/ 4 Def/ 252 SpDef
Spikes
Ice Beam
Surf
Rapid Spin

Cloyster sets up spikes for my team and spins away the opponents. It also provides EXTREME physical defense.




Poliwrath@ Leftovers
Ability: Water absorb
Nature: Relaxed
252 HP/ 52 Atk/ 110 Def/ 96 SpDef
Waterfall
HP Electric
Brick Break
Toxic

Credits to a member of the community named Dark Azelf for this set. I saw it posted in a thread and it looked like an interesting Pokémon to use. Toxic is for levitating or flying Pokémon who aren't poisoned by the Toxic Spikes.


SO~, as you can see this team needs work and I would not be against scrapping the whole team if need be. Any help will be appreciated so don't be shy to criticise.

Nidoqueen@ Leftovers
Ability: Poison point
Nature: Impish
252 HP/252 Def/6 Atack
Toxic Spikes
Earthquake
Ice Punch
Roar

Use this since you lack a phazer, nor do you need a lum berry with heal bell.

Umbreon@ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
Nature: Careful
252 HP/16 Atk / 196 sp.def / 44 speed
Taunt
Payback
Wish
Protect



Its not gonna be sweeping with all the fighters around etc. Use Taunt to lol at everything that sees this as set up fodder. Pump its sp.def evs since you lack anything to take hits on that side. 44 Speed outpaces base 70's with no speed thus bullies most walls, in addition preventing poliwrath from sub punching you is fun too XD


Miltank@ Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
Nature: Impish
252 HP/224 Def/ 32 Spd
Heal Bell
Stealth Rock
Milk Drink
Body Slam

Thick Fat >> Scrappy.


Mismagius@ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Calm
252 HP/40 Def/ 226 SpDef
Perish Song
Hidden Power fighting
Shadow Ball
Pain Split

You want to be able to hit spinners though.

Cloyster@ Leftovers
Ability: Shell Armour
Nature: Bold
252HP/ 4 Def/ 252 SpDef
Spikes
Ice Beam
Surf
Rapid Spin

\o/


Poliwrath@ Leftovers
Ability: Water absorb
Nature: Impish
252 HP/ 52 Atk/ 110 Def/ 96 SpDef
Waterfall
Ice Punch
Brick Break
Toxic

HP Electric is only useful in OU for Gyarados.

Nice team, but Swellow, Torterra and Shaymin weak.

Roserade@Leftovers
252 HP / 252 SP.DEF / 6 SPEED
Calm Nature
Trait : Natural Cure
- Toxic Spikes
- Spikes
- Rest
- Sludge Bomb

This >> Nido for Shaymin, since it never 2hko's you with LO Air Slash.

Mesprit@Leftovers
252 HP / 220 DEF / 36 sp.def
Bold Nature
- Reflect
- Knock Off
- Ice Beam
- Psychic

This >> Miltank for Torterra.

Kabutops@Leftovers
252 HP / 196 DEF / 60 SP.DEF
Impish Nature
Trait : Battle Armor
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge

This >> Cloyster for Swellow.


Now you lack a Phazer so use Haze on Poliwrath.

Roserade
Kabutops
Mesprit
Umbreon
Poliwrath
Mismag.

^^ something like this.

 

[=major yum!]

Thanks for the help!

After testing the team I found it had trouble with Weezing, so Mesprit will be a great help against it and fighting type pokemon. Cloyster was useless, so Kabutops will be welcome. Haze sounds good on Poliwrath, but what move should it replace? Roserade definately seems to be a better lead than Nidoqueen, because I did notice a shaymin weakness.

I will make the suggested changes, but unfortunately they leave me without status recovery for the rest of my team. Roserade can take status, but being a lead and with my lackluster knowledge of the UU tier, I don't expect it to survive for long. I could make Umbreon a restalk variant, but I like the wish support.

Well, you could use like Rest-talk/wish/payback umbreon. Pass wishes whilst you are asleep lol (I seem to remember someone creating a set like this for Leafeon a while back).

I actually tried this before, only thing is you better know umbreons weaknesses and etc like the back of your hand, it can get you into trouble, haha
Other than that, if your experienced its certainly a good idea
