So I decided to post my Best UU team... even though it consists of a NU pokemon. So far this team has won about 14 battles and lost 0 times on random battlers on Serebii.net. I kinda doubt that it really counts as much but the battlers werent to nooby. Most battles finished as 6-0 -4-0. I havent lost more then 2 pokemon so far. on Shoddy my team was 21-4 on the Smogon University server. So those battlers were definitely not noobs. Check the team out and tell me what you think. Tell me if you feel i should change some stuff up or anyhting. I'm open to all critisism so share your mind.
AT FIRST GLANCE:
IN DEPTH LOOK:
REGISTEEL

Ability: Clear Body
Nature: Careful (+SpD, -SpA)
EVs:252HP/100Atk/156SpD
Moveset:

Earthquake
I've found Registeel to be one of the most effective Bulky leads in the UU tier. Registeels EVs Help him survive almost anything. This guy has takes a Modest Ninetails' Fire Blast and survived with around 40% Hp left. Earthquake counters most fire pokemon in UU. The only fire pokemon Registeel hasnt been able to face so far is Moltres and Typhlosion. For those two id recommend switching to Slowbro. Although he isnt se up to take spl attacks slowbro can still take an Eruption or Over heat and save up to 60% hp.
Registeels Weaknesses are FIRE, GROUND, and FIGHTING. For Registeels FIRE weakness try switching to Slowbro and maybe Porygon2 (as long as the pokemon using the fire attack has Flash Fire as its ability). GROUND type attacks should be answered with Mismagius or possibly Slowbro if the opponent has a weak Attack stat. FIGHTING is to be answered by Mismagius and Slowbro.
PORYGON2
Type: NORMAL
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Trace
Nature: Calm (+SpD, -Atk)
EVs:252HP/6Def/252SpD
Moveset:
Discharge
Ice Beam
Magic Coat
Recover
Type: NORMAL
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Trace
Nature: Calm (+SpD, -Atk)
EVs:252HP/6Def/252SpD
Moveset:
Discharge
Ice Beam
Magic Coat
Recover
To be completely honest I say Porygon2 isnt given enough credit. It was placed in the UU tier when i believe that it should be placed in either BL or Limbo. I have used a Porygon2 in OU battles and it works incredibly well. This Porygon2's main goal is to Either focus on Paralyzing your foe with Discharge or countering your foes Status inducing moves with Magic Coat. I've switched this pokemon on Yanmegas numerous times and put them to sleep with their own Hypnosis. Recover helps this pokemon wall your opponents.
Porygon2's only weakness is FIGHTING which is easily countered by Mismagius and Slowbro.
MISMAGIUS
Type: GHOST
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
EVs:252HP/252Def/6Spe
Moveset:
Mean Look
Parish Song
Protect
Pain Split
Type: GHOST
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
EVs:252HP/252Def/6Spe
Moveset:
Mean Look
Parish Song
Protect
Pain Split
Now for the teams main threat to any opponent. This is my own interpretation of a the Parish Trapper Mismagius. i chose to gow ith a Bold nature and to max its Defense and HP rather then spending 40 EVs into speed and maxing its sp def. i Felt as if the Mismagius should have relatively the same Defense and Special Defense in order to use this set properly. this set does just that, with this Ev spread Mismagius has 324Hp 240Def and 246 SpD. Mismagius Lives through any sweepers attacks. it is most ideal to use Mismagius on Hitmontops or any pokemon you can counter without taking damage on the switch in. what you should do is start off with Mean Look, then use Parish Song (Parish count should be to 3 for both pokemon), use Protect to waste one turn (Parish count down to 2). Then use Pain split to help recover any HP lost from your first two turns of setting up your Mean Look and Parish Song (now both pokemons Counts are to 1). Now you switch to what ever pokemon will best face your opponents next move and youre done you succesfully knocked out one of your opponents pokemon without even using a single attack.
Mismagius' weaknesses are GHOST and DARK attacks. Porygon2 and Registeel handle the GHOST attacks like pros. DARK can best be handled by Registeel and can also be countered by Toxicroak but is also risky as Toxicroak is fragil in the Defense and Special Defense category.
MANECTRIC
Type: ELETRIC
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Static
Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
EVs:6HP/252SpA/252Spe
Moveset:
Charge Beam
Thunder Bolt
Hidden Power [GRASS]
Flamethrower
Type: ELETRIC
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Static
Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
EVs:6HP/252SpA/252Spe
Moveset:
Charge Beam
Thunder Bolt
Hidden Power [GRASS]
Flamethrower
Whoever decided to make Manectric a NU pokemon is probably insane (No offense). how could a Pokemon with 105 base Speed and 105 base Special Attack be place in NU especially when they have a good Movepool. with this set Manectric has 308 Special Attack and 339 Speed which is pretty fast for the UU tier. Basically you should only use Charge Beam when you are certain you can use it safely and pray for a Special Attack boost. After on Charge Beam boost Manectric's Special Attack is up to 462, Which is good enough to cause a sweep. Flamethrower is for Steelix and HP grass is for Gastrodon.
Manectric's weakness is only GROUND which can be countered by Mismagius and Slowbro.
TOXICROAK
Type: POISON/FIGHTING
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Dry Skin
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
EVs:6HP/252Atk/252Spe
Moveset:
Substitute
Focus Punch
Sucker Punch
Ice Punch
Type: POISON/FIGHTING
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Dry Skin

Ice Punch
Toxicroak is an amzing sub punching pokemon. with a 342 Attack stat and an attack with 150power +STAB, the damage he will be dealing will be enormous. I also like this toxicroak because he absorbs Water type moves (which Milotics are very common to see in UU), and he absorbs Toxic Spikes from the very common Roserade. basically yous witch him in on a pokemon using a water move or any pokemon that fears a OHKO from him and set up a sub and then begin choosing from any attack you have.
Toxicroak's weaknesses are PSYCHIC, GROUND, FLYINGand FIRE (Due to Dry Skin ability). PSYCHIC is handled by Slowbro and Registeel. GROUND is handled by Mismagius and Slowbro. FLYING is countered by Registeel and Manectric. FIRE is best handled by Slowbro or Porygon2 (only if opposing pokemon has Flash Fire ability).
SLOWBRO
Type: WATER/PSYCHIC
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Own Tempo
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
EVs:252HP/200Def/56SpA
Moveset:
Thunder Wave
Slack Off
Psychic
Surf

Slowbro is by far the best physical wall in the UU Tier. Slowbro with this Ev spread has 394Hp 336DEf and 250SpA. This helps Slowbro support his defense by dealing som good damage with both of its STAB moves. you want to start off with paralyzing your opponent so you can start outspeeding your opponent giving you the opportunity of healing before your opponent attacks.
Slowbro's weaknesses are ELETRIC, GRASS, BUG, GHOST, and DARK attacks. For Slowbro's ELETRIC weakness you should switch to Manectric or Porygon2. GRASS is best handled by Registeel or Toxicroak. BUG should be countered by Registeel, Toxicroak, or Mismagius. GHOST is best met by Porygon2 but can also be countered with Registeel. DARK can best be countered by Registeel or if youd liek to chance it, Toxicroak.
Thanks for reading everyone. please give me some feed back if you ahve any suggestions to make this team any better.
