    Hi all,
    Since I have recently lost wifi I have decided to raise a team in anticipation of when i next get chance to use it. However the next time i will get to use it is when i go on holiday on the worlds largest cruise (<<That's in bold because I like to brag :P). So yeah, I thought I'd raise a nautical/boat themed team, UU tier.

    Lapras@Leftovers**Teh Cr00z**
    Jolly
    252Att/252Spd/6HP
    Dragon Dance
    Waterfall
    Ice Shard
    Body Slam/Sing/Confuse Ray
    So yeah, DDLapras complete with 1337 speak nickname. It ferries people around so is the closest thing ill get to a boat. Needs help, I'm leaning more towards physical over special due to DD's boost to its rather average stats, but it still needs help.

    Chatot@Life Orb**PrettyPolly**
    Timid
    252SpAtt/252Spd/6HP
    Hyper Voice/Chatter
    Night Shade/Chatter
    HP [Fight]
    Nasty Plot
    So yeah, this is supposed to be the parrot that sits on the stereotypicl pirate's shoulder. NastyPlot sweeper. This thing could really have done with air slash but meh, this is the best set i could see. HP recommendations appreciated

    Pikachu@Light Orb**ShipRat**
    Adamant
    252Att/252Spd/6HP
    Return
    Brick Break
    Volt Tackle/Thunder Punch
    Agility
    Old boats always had rats running about on them, mine's electrically charged. This one's also fully-physical which is always a nice suprise, and makes a last-ditch resist at electircity. I will not use focus punch, brick break has the same power-per-turn ratio so it stays. I'm tempted to use a FEAR ratata to fill the same casting position, but i thought it cheap ;)

    Cloyster@Leftovers**Barnacle**
    Impish(Shell Armor)
    252HP/204SpDef/52Def
    Rapid Spin
    Spikes
    Toxic
    Ice Shard
    This looks like those shells on the bottom of boats and is just as hard to shift. Physical wall and spin support, with spikes and status to boot. Ice shard for priority hits.

    Lanturn@Leftovers**Moby Dick**
    40HP/192SpAtt/240SpDef/36Def
    Calm
    Discharge
    Surf
    Rest
    Sleep Talk
    Electirc whale from hell. Set courtesy of DA, and it suits the team very well. Volt absorb is extremely handy with my current electric weakness, and discharge's high paralysis rate doubles as a status attack :P

    Rotom@Leftovers**Flying Dutchman**
    252Spd/252Spd/6 HP
    Timid Nature
    Discharge
    Shadow ball
    Will-o-wisp
    Toxic
    So yeah, this boat's haunted by a levitating, double status spin blocker. Never a bad thing I think you'll agree :) Courtesy of DA once again

    I'm no expert, but how about a giant steel penguin?or a giant Manta ray?
    Or even an oddly natured Dragonite? they're meant to live in the sea (as you can sea i'm obsessed with dragonite)
    So yeah, thats the jist of it atm. I need a special wall though, something suitably nautical.

    I was a bit bad and got told off, but i reckon my suggestions for the wall are ok
     
    Gofre, why is there no spacing anywhere in your post. It makes it look unorganized.
     
    Nautical themed special walls would probably be something along the lines of Mantine, Empoleon (meh), or tentacruel. probably others.

    Yeah they were what i was thinking off. However Im not keen on empoleon due to it adding to my already prevelant fight-weak and i dont like mantine's 4x electric either. Plus this is UU so tenta's ruled out. How would lanturn work? It benefits from my electic weaknesses, has high HP (moderate SpDef but yah know) and can restTalk, thoughts?
     
    There's spacing between sets, but the sets themselves look like this:

    DragonDance
    IceShard
    HydroPump

    Everything is clumped together. And I can't really rate this team until it's put together.

    Oh I get you now, sorry my wordpad reformats it like that (I wrote this few days ago) for some reason. I'll change it.

    I have a Lanturn that works alright, although i have only used it against friends, and they're not that tactical, but i did manage to thunder wave an entire team and then finish off with my mixape, and this guy has Darkrai too. Dunno how this'll help you but meh, Lanturn seems ok.
     
    Tbh that doesnt help at all. No offense, but you arent that tactical yourself, if you dont consider your friends tactical then they cant be great. Plus i need a set, just saying "its good" or "i got to thunder wave them all" won't help me when I come to using it.
     
    Rest-talk Lanturn is a beast, i remember outstalling a Blissey with one lol


    Lanturn@Leftovers
    40 HP / 192 Sp.A / 240 Sp.Def / 36 Def
    Calm Nature
    - Thunder / Discharge / Thunderbolt
    - Surf
    - Rest
    - Sleep Talk

    Thunder and Discharge have nice paralysis chance ;)
     
    Aha thankyou, I saw its base HP and volt absorb and thought it could fit.

    Any comments on the rest of the team? I'm trying to find a better chatot set.
     
    Sorry, but yeah this nautical theme looks awesome.
     
    Well, if you did want a special wall, you could use lapras and for phys sweeper, maybe

    Sharpedo: @Choice scarf
    Adamant
    Evs: 252 att, 252 spd, 6 hp.
    Waterfall
    Crunch/ night slash
    Earthquake
    Aqua jet/ Ice fang


    Or

    Crawdaunt: Life orb
    Hasty
    Evs: 252 att, 240 spd, 12 hp.
    Crunch
    Swords dance
    Waterfall
    Rock slide.
     
    Yeah, chatot really would've loved air slash. Maybe replace HP Fight with HP Ground to cover electrics. Also, maybe switch in on a ground/ghost move and use encore? Perhaps U-turn for a quick escape... Something like:

    Chatot @ Life Orb
    Timid
    252 Special Attack, 252 Speed, 6HP
    Hyper Voice
    Night Shade/U-Turn
    HP [Ground]/[Fight]
    Nasty Plot

    I don't know a place to put up Encore.... what do you think?
     
    If you're going to use Chatot, you're going to have to go...unconventional.

    It's special move, Chatter, isn't that bad, and while confusion shuldn't be relied upon, it can help. Especially with fellow UU fighters. Encore allows easier Nasty Plot, and Feather Dance is always a good move.

    Dude, i'm no expert, but surely you mean 4 hp on Sharpedo, as 6 is wasted EVs, and you could put 16hp for it to add up to 508 on Crawdaunt, am i right?!
     
    It doesn't really matter: Wherever those 2 EVs go they're not going to count, so you might as well put them into HP anyway.

    I too woukd have suggested Lanturn for a special wall, absorb Electric attacks that are undoubtedly coming your way and dish out some paralysis yourself.

    Poliwrath with water absorb can do some damage, especially if it has Thunder Punch.

    Erm, i dont think this team has trouble taking water attacks, since two have a quad resistance.

    Na, Lapras is the main man, he's gonna be dancin the night away.

    However Im looking for different sets, any idea if 252Att/152Spd/104HP could work anyone?
