Hi, I'm Puzzle King. I am a regular OU player, but am quite new to the UU scene. I just recently got into UU after a friend told me it was similar to OU(very questionable). This is my first UU RMT, please leave suggestions and ideas on how to improve my team. Thanks in advance.
Scrafty @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off
- Poison Jab
- Bulk Up
Scrafty was the one pokemon from UU I wanted to use as soon as I started playing it. 115 on both defences? Damn, this thing is like a sponge. I use the Bulk Up variant of Scrafty which allows me to deal with Blissey, which is a pain to deal with. I have Poison Jab for fairies and Knock Off and Drain Punch for STAB.
Florges (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flower Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Aromatherapy
- Wish
- Protect
- Moonblast
Florges is my special wall and utility. It has Aromatherapy to cure status off my team and the Wish-Protect Combo to stall and regenerate. Moonblast is a great STAB move to take out opposing Scarfty and Noivern.
Metagross @ Assault Vest
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 4 Def / 252 Atk / 252 HP
Adamant Nature
- Meteor Mash
- Bullet Punch
- Zen Headbutt
- Earthquake
My physical wall and another sponge that takes hits. Metagross and Florges cover most of each other's weaknesses. Bullet Punch is a great priority move that allows me to kill off weakened fairies. Meteor Mash and Zen Headbutt are for STAB and Meteor Mash also has the plus of raising my attack by one stage. Earthquake is to take out fire types, like Darminatan and Arcanine, in case they try to come in an kill Metagross.
Just some calculations:
252 Atk Mega Absol Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Metagross: 282-332 (77.4 - 91.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Scrafty Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Metagross: 216-254 (59.3 - 69.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Donphan @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
Donphan is Steath Rock-er/Spinner. It comes in, sets up rocks and then either switches out or stays in and rapid spins or kills the opponent. It has priority Ice Shard to deal with Hippodown and other Donphans and Earthquake as STAB to take out Galvantula and Darmanitan. Rapid Spin is self-explantory.
Porygon-Z @ Choice Specs
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Tri Attack
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Psyshock
After some testing, I have found that Specs-Adaptability Porygon Z to be a great special sweeper, with Tri Attack doing a hell lot of damage and Thunderbolt and Ice Beam for coverage. Psyshock is to get past special walls.
Porygon is my special coverage sweeper. It has abysmal speed which works well with analytic and has Tri Attack for STAB(an hax) and Ice Beam and Thunderbolt for coverage. Psychock is to deal with special walls(like Blissey and Scrafty).
Blastoise @ Blastoisinite
Ability: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Aura Sphere
- Dark Pulse
- Scald
Blastoise is my mega and primary special sweeper. Dragon Pulse to deal with Noivern and Goodra, Aura Sphere for Scrafty and Mega-Absol and Dark Pulse for Azelf and Alakazam.I chose Scald over Water Pulse as although Water Pulse does more damage, Scald has a chance to burn.
