Kid Icarus: Uprising
Introduction
Hello there ! This is my first RMT here, and I come with a team that I've been using for a little while. I love the actual UU meta, and this is why I built around Shaymin. It looks pretty cool with the ban of M-Pidgeot. I decided to share it for obtain some tips and upgrades, and after some modifications I could peak to #8 of the UU ladd.
Teambuilding Process
First of all, here is the Based Lord. As I already said, Shaymin is great in the actual UU metagame. With its good coverage moves and powerful STAB, it can easily wallbreak threats such as Suicune or Empoleon.
Step by step the team was filling when I noticed that I had no SR User or Phazer, and that's why I chose Swampert ! It mainly serves as physical Tank, and its really good typing helps a lot.
Every Balanced team has a Wisher or a Cleric ; with Florges I has both simultaneously. This was really ideal because I had not yet a good special Tank. Its Fairy Type also allows to switch into most of Dark, Fighting and Bug moves, like Megahorn Heracross or Dynamic Punch Machamp.
Team details
The Pokemon that I built around. It's awesome to see the damages that can Shaymin cause. with Seed Flare STAB, Earth Power and Air Slash, which is pretty cool to surprise Grass Type such as Roserade, Whimsicott and other Shaymin.
The 236 EV Speed and the Jolly Nature allow Aero to outspeed +1 Yanmega and Sharpedo.
And last but not least, Lady Palutena, the goddess of light ! Florges is very usefull to Wish pass and counter some special threats such as Hydreigon, Blastoise-M and Ampharos-M. It also fit very well with the rest of the team, especially with Forretress.
Threat List
Green : I've no problem for get them rid of them.
Orange : these ones give me more problems but I can beat them with a little bit momentum.
Red : I hardly handle these ones and precautions are necessary to KO them.
S Rank
Feraligatr : Well, I can Roar it with Suicune, which is very practical because most of the time Gatr settles on it. M-Aerodactyl can also outspeed it if it's m-evolved, but I still have to be careful with it.
Hydreigon : It can be dangerous if it runs Iron Tail, otherwise Florges totally counter it.
Salamence : Suicune can Roar it, Foretress counters non-Fire Blast versions, Florges deal with non-Iron Tail versions and M-Aerodactyl outspeeds non-Scarf versions.
Suicune : My own Suicune Roar it and Shaymin totally destroys it.
A+ Rank
Aerodactyl-M : Foretress and Suicune literally roll on it.
Beedrill-M : My Aerodactyl can outspeed it and easily OHKO with Wing Attack, or else Foretress handle it pretty well and Entei has a huge chance to OHKO it with Extreme Speed.
Cobalion : Roar comes to save again and Entei can take a Close Combat for KO it with Sacred Fire. Shaymin can also do great damages with Earth Power and M-Aerodactyl outspeeds it and get it out with EQ.
Entei : I just need to keep my Suicune safe because it's much more complicated without it. Aerodactyl can also RK and KO it.
Krookodile : Shaymin can outspeed non-Scarf versions and OHKO via Seed Flare. Suicune and Foretress handle it very well.
Mamoswine : Got it without problems by means of Foretress and Suicune. Entei and Shaymin outspeeds it and readily kill it.
Reuniclus : I can Roar with Suicune or do good damages with Entei's Flare Blitz, but it's always tight when it's installed.
Swampert-M : Shaymin outspeeds and KO it whitout the rain, Suicune can handle its moves pretty well and Scald it under the rain, but if Cune's dead and the rain's on, it's very complicated to get rid of.
Big threats under A+
Chandelure : Specs version 2HKO Florges and hit my Suicune with Energy Ball. The only thing I can do is Revenge Kill with M-Aero. Scarf is less annoying because Florges can wall it, but I have to be careful with Trick. SubCalm Mind is very threatly too, even if I can Roar with Cune.
The Nidos : they can kill a member of my team every time they come ! M-Aero and Shaymin can respectively Earthquake and Earth Power. Suicune can eventually hardly switch-in, but I have to be very wary when I see them.
Dragalge : I have to rightly predict it and switch between Florges and Foretress to keep my team safe, but it's always a pain to keep it out.
Porygon-Z : Specs Version is probably the worst. I have no switch-in to it and I'm usually forced to sacrifice a Pokemon for Revenge Kill with Shaymin, Entei or M-Aerodactyl.
