I've been laddering pretty consistently in UU on Smogon's main server the past week or so and this is the team I've been using.
I personally think it's a solid construct that's earned me 47/60 wins so far. That's not fantastic but it sure as hell isn't bad for a team I originally put together in minutes. Anyway, the team's main core is that in the offensive greatness that is Snorlax and Slowbro. Snorlax doesn't usually run Choice Band over Curse and if someone has a Snorlax, it's best assumed that it's Curse. Therefore, opposing Umbreon/Porygon2 are not expecting to take ~40-50% from STAB CB Return. It's also a great Special Wall which pairs nicely with Slowbro's infamous physically defensive capabilities. Nidoking and Nidoqueen, though more on Nidoking's side of the fence, harsh my entire team with Snorlax, though, which is not great.
Swampert's the typical SR setter, and Heracross and Zapdos are available to take off Swampert's Grass weakness, commonly found in Shaymin and opposing hazard setter Roserade. Slowbro and Heracross can also take the Rock-type damage off of Zapdos and that's important considering the amount of Rhyperiors running around. The last slot is really filler since everything is pretty well synergized, so I threw Victini in for the sake of having another pivotal special sweeper and I'm not at all surprised by the amount of players that think it's a physical Victini despite the meatfest already going on in the team. Physical Victini wouldn't even really function as well I don't think, but that's another story for another day.
