Default OU analyses of UU and NU Pokémon Reservations list

As some of you may know, some lower tiered Pokémon are viable in OU. However, their OU set comments have usually been mixed in with their UU ones. Its time to change that! here are a few guidelines:

-These are basically new analyses. Because of this, you must include OU team options, other options, EVs, opinion, and counters sections.

-Not every UU/NU Pokémon is viable in OU. In some cases, you may have to provide detailed reasoning to prove that the Pokemon / set that you want to propose is indeed useful and not a gimmick.

-Please, test before you reserve.

PM eric the espeon, Eo Ut Mortus, Theorymon, Colonel M, bojangles if there is an error with this index.

If an analysis is ON SITE it is finished.
If an analysis is UNFINISHED, the thread has been posted and peer editing is needed.
If an analysis is RESERVED, someone has claimed the Pokemon, but the thread has not been posted.

First off, I'm dropping Lopunny (could've sworn that I requested to have it removed long ago)

Reserving Torterra for a few reasons:

  • Despite its 4x weakness to Ice, Torterra can comfortably switch into a decent amount of OU and stay in for a while thanks to Rock Polish/Substitute (Speaking of which, Rock Polish Torterra works in a similar vein to SD Lucario - switch in, fire off its powerful stabs, switch out, and come back later for a late game sweep)
  • Torterra is one of two SubSeeders with an immunity to Sandstorm damage
  • Unlike Metagross, Torterra is immune to Thunder Wave, and can nail Rotom pretty hard (KOing after a bit of residual damage) while maintaining decent coverage; unlike Breloom, Torterra can abuse entry hazards with Roar, or set up Stealth Rock of its own to punish switches, and can take a beating when not behind a sub
  • I've used both Rock Polish and SubSeed Torterra in OU with a decent amount of success
Here are 4 logs of consistent use of RP Torterra:

...

Despite a few slip ups on my opponent's side, this battle went along pretty nicely with Torterra pulling off an endgame sweep.
...
Torterra didn't pull off a sweep, but it managed to down Swampert in a single hit (well, my opponent played like an 8 year old on estrogen, keeping Swampert in), giving Flygon and easier time pulling off a sweep.

...

As with the last battle, Torterra was able to ease my prediction a bit; with Lucario gone, I didn't have to put much thought into using Outrage... despite the fact that I lost, anyway >.>
...

Nothing amazingly special about this log, Torterra just finishes off the last two and wins the game for me.

I haven't been able to experiment much with SubSeed Torterra, but it's been effective on my current stall team. Anyway, I did manage to save one log of it:

...


In this match, I ran Sub/Leech Seed/Earthquake/Roar Torterra and it was pretty effective in suffling around my opponent's team towards the end of the game. I can't really say or prove much else with this set seeing as how the only other match that I saved was against the same player (the outcome was the same, as was Torterra's use).

If anyone needs further convincing, I'd be happy to get more logs.

Making sure no one claims OU Aggron before me.

Edit: Flash said that I could take Uxie also.

Also, if you want me to rate your team (OU/DW OU/Ubers), give me a VM. If I don't rate it, it's either 1) it's so shit it's too much trouble, 2) I'm busy, or 3) the team is fantastic and I have nothing I can suggest to you. You should be able to recognise which one.

I talked to supermarth64, and I'm gonna do OU Uxie now (thanks marthy <3)

EDIT: I told Shoopdasparce that he could do Uxie, as I've been pretty busy as of late and don't want to inconvenience anyone!

Would like to reserve Victreebel please. I modified my "Victorybell" set a while back to OU and it worked well with Sunny Day Support (which is possible with the right teammates in OU such as Swampert, Rotom-H, Crobat, Heatran, etc.) My OU team is located here: OU Sunny Day team

It would utilize Leaf Blade, Sucker Punch, Weatherball, and Swords Dance. No need for HP Ice with Salamence, Latias, and Garchomp in Ubers. [Gliscor and Flygon are hit hard enough with Swords Dance and Leaf Blade].

VB absorbs Toxic Spikes, is faster than Scarf Rotoms in the Sun, can go mixed, and can handle many common threats like Starmie, Gengar, Azelf, without Sunny Day support thanks to Sucker Punch, and provides a good supportive movepool.

Ummm.....

New to C&C and all, but I would like to reserve Torterra. I have a few ideas.
No scarf set(yet) and with Jolly nature and 252 speed evs, ScarfTerra will outspeed all Infernape not carrying a scarf ( or any other boost.)

Schembechler, watching the display, asked Fry, "You're not going to let that guy long snap today, are you?" Fry responded, "Coach Schembechler, I don't plan on punting." Go Hawkeyes
