    Technician
    -Fake out
    -U-turn

    Filter
    -Thunder wave
    -Teeter dance
    -Substitute or calm mind?

    Can Mr Mime survive long enough to set up parafuse and a baton pass? Item?

    Manectric@ Wise glasses
    Nature: timid
    EVs:36 hp, 252 sp atk, 220 spd
    Static
    -Thunderbolt
    -Flamethrower
    -Hidden power (grass)
    -charge beam? (only because it ups special atk occasionally)

    Special sweeper, should i switch thunderbolt with thunder and wise glasses with wide lens? How effective is wide lens?

    Im also considering swapping hidden power with substitute and wise glasses with a petaya berry

    Can Mr Mime survive long enough to set up parafuse and a baton pass? Item?Calm Mind does what? You don't have any attacks, and booosting the sp.def won't help you that much, sub is the better option.Maybe a bit overkill on spd EVs though, 20 might do it. Confuse Ray would do better than Teeter Dance, but you aren't gonna survive a ghost anyway, so no point.

    Manectric@ Wise glasses
    Nature: timid

    Special sweeper, should i switch thunderbolt with thunder and wise glasses with wide lens? How effective is wide lens?Dunno about the items, but verheat may be an option over Flamethrower as it could have more chance of a 1HKO.

    Im also considering swapping hidden power with substitute and wise glasses with a petaya berry

    I'm not good with UU, but yeah, Calm Mind won't do much unless you're against somebody who doesn't switch in on things to get a super-effective if they can't hit your poke like that already, and unless you're switching with Manectric it doesn't do that much (although if a dark type was sent out it could help Lapras).
     
    Kiddo, as you have been told a million times, don't rate without proper knowledge. Mr Mime is a baton passer, the boosts are meant to be given to other pokes. If you'd paid attenmtion you'd know that

    Subs is something that can be passed as well, while it provides a clean switch to a different team member.


    I have battled you today in the official server (under a different nick) and you had quite a trouble with my subseed Meganium / Focus Punch Poliwrath. I think you might rely too much on Mr. Mime to pass calm minds to Lapras / Manectric to sweep. You also have a trouble with Nidoking, nothing here likes to take Earthquake. Besides that, your team is very slow - Kingler isn't gonna sweep much without a speed boost.. at least you could give Mr. Mime Salac berry so it can pass it as well. +1 speed Manectric is not easy to deal with.

    Perhaps get rid of Kingler and put a ghost instead, Rotom or Drifblim. Driflim gets a mention because it can further continue your baton pass chain and apply more boosts. It also isn't wrecked by Earthquake Pinsir thanks to his flying type.

    Yeah, i did say that it could be passed, if he didn't use Sub.

    Yeah, that too, i hadn't thought of that, but that's another good effect if you chose Sub over CM.

    Ok so with Mr. Mime he would eat the salac berry, gain a boost, create a sub? then switch to manectric?

    Do you think Drifblim would do a better job at setting up than mr.mime

    Drifblim@Petaya berry
    Nature:Timid
    EVs: 12 hp, 80 def, 216 sp.atk, 200 spd
    Unburdan
    -Baton pass
    -Substitute
    -T-bolt
    -Hypnosis

    Also do you think I should replace persian, in the few matches Ive tried him in he seemed kind of useless

    One more thing.. how does the team seem overall? Think with some tweaks it could be a decent UU team?

    Persian is a very good lead, I don't see why there's any need to replace it. Keep in mind he IS the fastest sleeper in UU.

    Drifblim is an excellent passer, Manectric would love to get +1 Speed and +1 Sp.Atk boost. If you decide to keep Persian, then Hypnosis isn't needed on Drifblim and you can place Shadow Ball instead. The EV set is good, though I haven't tried it myself. I'd focus on HP and Speed to get huge subs and pass them quickly.

    I still don't like Kingler on that team considering you have a water pokemon already (Lapras), so I recommend getting a fast sweeper instead, maybe Life Orb Hitmochan with his elemental punches.

    Persian@ Life Orb
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 4 hp, 252 atk, 252 spd
    Technician
    -Return
    -Aerial Ace
    -Hypnosis
    -Bite

    My starter, appropriate item? Make sure it has Technician otherwise there will be basically no point of Aerial Ace and Bite.

    Mr. Mime@ Leftovers
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 hp, 4 sp def, 252 spd
    Soundproof
    -Psychic
    -Calm Mind
    -Substitute/Hypnosis
    -Baton Pass
    Can Mr Mime survive long enough to set up parafuse and a baton pass? Item? This thing has potential to be a good lead so it can start with Sub to scout then pass Subs or CMs.

    Im also considering swapping hidden power with substitute and wise glasses with a petaya berry. No swap. Pretty good.
