    Ok, so I'm new to UU play, although I have used some of these pokes in OU before with decent success.
    I'd appreciate some help on what to fix, or if a Pokemon looks like it could be replaced, then please tell me.
    Here it goes...

    Team Overview:
    *image removed**image removed**image removed*    *image removed**image removed**image removed*
    Hypno, Kabutops, Toxicroak, Aggron, Meganium, and Pelipper is also being considered at this time.
    Team In-Depth:
    ​

    *image removed*//"image removed"
    Hypno@Leftovers
    252 HP / 56 Def / 200 SpDef
    Calm Nature
    - Thunderwave
    - Wish
    - Reflect
    - Psychic/Seismic Toss

    I love this thing. It statuses, provides team wish support, boosts team defense,
    and can hit hard with Psychic or can wear things down with Seismic Toss.
    Works well, especially in OU.
    It was either this or Grumpig, and I prefer Hypno.


    *image removed*//"image removed"
    Kabutops@Leftovers
    248 HP / 156 SpDef / 104 Spd
    Jolly Nature
    - Stone Edge
    - Rapid Spin
    - Swords Dance
    - Waterfall

    The best The best The best The best The best The best
    The best The best The best The best The best The best
    The best The best The best The best The best The best
    The best The best The best The best The best The best
    The best The best The best The best The best The best
    The best The best The best The best The best The best
    The best The best The best The best The best The best


    *image removed*//"image removed"
    Nidoking@Life Orb
    6 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spd
    Rash Nature
    - Earth Power
    - Thunderbolt
    - Ice Beam
    - Shadow Ball/HP Grass (Haven't decided, but am leaning towards HP Grass)

    My special sweeper, and it hits most UU pokemon for atleast neutral damage.
    I prefer Life Orb over Choice Specs due to my hatred of Choice items.


    *image removed*//"image removed"
    Aggron@Leftovers
    252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 Def
    Sturdy
    Relaxed
    - Curse
    - Ice Punch
    - Brick Break
    - Earthquake

    One of my favorite pokes. I used him on NetBattle to
    BP Ninjask's speed boost and Swords Dance to. Also, a great wall,
    especially so with Wish support.
    Immunity to Toxic on a wall? Yes, please!


    *image removed*//"image removed"
    Altaria@Leftovers
    252 HP / 200 Def / 56 SpDef
    Careful Nature
    - Aerial Ace
    - Heal Bell
    - Roost
    - Sing

    My cleric. Works well so far, and can take hits.


    *image removed*//"image removed"
    Pelipper@Leftovers
    236 HP / 160 Def / 114 SpAtk
    Bold Nature
    - Surf
    - Air Slash
    - Roost
    - Knock Off

    Great tank, and Knock Off demolishes other tanks/walls.
    Pelipper's Special Attack and STAB for his attacks also
    works well for cleaning up.

    UU Threats List:
    Absol - Nidoking
    Armaldo - Aggron/Nidoking/Hypno
    Bastiodon - Pelipper/Nidoking/Aggron
    Cloyster - Aggron/Kabutops
    Claydol - Pelipper/Aggron
    Exploud - Aggron
    Frosslass - Nidoking/Kabutops
    Gastrodon - Nidoking
    Grumpig - Pelipper/Aggron/Nidoking
    Mr. Mime - Nidoking/Kabutops/Aggron
    Solrock/Lunatone - Nidoking/Aggron/Kabutops/Pelipper
    Toxicroak - Hypno/Pelipper/Altaria/Nidoking/Aggron

    I don't really get what Rapid Spin is doing on an attacking set for Kabutops.

    Well, I didn't really want him to be an attacker, but couldn't find any good spinners for UU that fit my team. So I just decided to make a versatile Kabutops.

    If that makes sense.
     
    Sandslash= Best UU spinner in my opinion. Its like the UU donphan from hell.
    I'll try and remember the standard, ill post it when I've got it.

    EDIT: Plus it complements your 2 electric weaks

    Claydol is UU now, so you could use that, Hitmontop is also a really good spinner, better than people give it credit for.

    I was thinking Sandslash or Claydol, but who would I replace for them?

    Idk I kind of like this team (with Toxicroak > Nidoking and Meganium > Altaria)
     
    I can't see what aggron's planning to achieve, so I'd ditch him. You need a dedicated physical wall anyway, which sandslash excels at and claydol can kinda do :)

    Meganium, is a good poke, try using it in conjunction with Toarkoal, Rapid Spin/Rest/Lava Plume/Stealth Rock or Toxic, that way you can abuse rest with Meganiums Aromatherapy or Altarias heal bell =)
     
    Meganium can learn many useful moves, like Reflect, Light Screen, Leech Seed, and the obvious Aromatherapy.

    I usually run this:
    Meganium@Leftovers
    Bold/Calm
    216 HP / 148 DEF / 144 SATT
    Aromatherapy
    Light Screen/Reflect
    Leech Seed/Synthesis
    Leaf Storm/Energy Ball/Grass Knot

    I prefer Leaf Storm as its attacking move, even though it's not standard.

    I love the move Reflect, but seeing as though it's on my Hypno I'd replace that second slot with a status move.

    That's a good set though, I'll give it a shot.

    Then give it both Leech Seed and Syntesis.

    Meganium is not very reliable as statusing, as Its only sleep move is the horribly inaccurate Grasswhistle and it can't get Stun Spore. All that's there is Toxic, but everything that can learn a TM can get it, meaning there are ALOT of Pokemon that can use it far better :/

    True.

    I was under the impression that Meganium learned the spores; my bad.
     
    I'd put Aqua Jet in combination with Swords Dance on Kabutops for a little quick strike, just in comparison to Donphan's Ice Shard, see what I mean?
