This is my latest team that I made without Froslass and Raikou in mind. It's been doing very well only losing a few times out of a large amount of matches. It's basically kill or be killed, because only 2 Pokemon on my team can really take a hard hit and they're meant to be offensive anyway. On to the team. (:

Changes in BOLD
Lust(Mesprit)@Lum Berry
Nature:Quiet
Ability:Levitate
Ev's:252HP/48Atk/200SpA/8Spe
-Thunder Wave
-Grass Knot
-U-turn
-Stealth Rock
Mesprit starts the team off, and it does an excellent job at that. Even with 252 ev's in HP, it's still able to take some powerful hits and still stand. Thunder Wave messes up fast threats and parahax is great for an offensive team. Grass Knot is necessary with a hefty ammount of SpA ev's to kill off Rhyperior, Omastar, Cloyster, and Kabutops. U-Turn to help gain momentum and Stealth Rock as a form of hazards to rack up damage, rid of sash, etc...Wanted to try and work Psychic in here but this Mesprit has been working pretty well. The 8 Speed lets be beat 4 speed base 70's.
Envy(Toxicroak)(F)@Lum Berry
Nature:Jolly
Ability:Dry Skin
Ev's:4HP/252Atk/252Spe
-Swords Dance
-Sucker Punch
-Low Kick
-Stone Edge
Physical Toxicroak is a forgotten threat, and many people will remember the force it is as it sweeps them. With so many Nasty Plot Croaks running around no one expects Swords Dance. Not many Pokemon can take the powerful hits this thing delivers. Cross Chop is STAB and has good coverage with Stone Edge, both powerful moves. Sucker Punch gives Toxicroak priority to hit faster Pokemon. Lum Berry was chosen to help against random hax and can allow me to get in another Swords Dance against Pokemon that rely on status to defeat Toxicroak. Basic 252/252 spread for ev's.
Greed(Alakazam)(F)@Wise Glasses
Nature:Timid
Ability:Inner Focus
Ev's:252SpA/4SpD/252SpA
-Calm Mind
-Encore
-Psychic
-Signal Beam
I absolutely love this thing. Everyone expects Trickspecs or Substitute these days so it's really easy to get a Calm Mind off. Pokemon that rely on Sucker Punch get Encored and eventually lose. With Alakazams high Speed it can switch in and Encore so many different things, pretty much every support move in the tier. Psychic is a powerful STAB attack and I chose Signal Beam as my coverage move as my other Pokes have no problem disposing of Registeel and Steelix. Ev's are of course, a simple 252/252 spread. Testing Wise Glasses to boost power/bluff choice but I still find Lefties superior.
Sloth(Rhyperior)(F)@Wide Lens
Nature:Jolly
Ability:Solid Rock
Ev's:12HP/252Atk/244Spe
-Rock Polish
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Megahorn
So Rhyperior is here to take Torterra's place; to help handle physical Flyers like Scyther and Swellow. He has more trouble with bulky waters, but he can set up on more pokemon overall. STAB EdgeQuake dents pretty much everything, while Megahorn covers what might resist that like Claydol and helps with bulky Psychics. Still unsure about the item...going with Wide Lens for now cause it can bluff Choice while giving Stone Edge/Megahorn a much needed accuracy boost. 244 speed because it reaches enough to beat Swellow + Scarfers that try and beat it by a few points. Rest dumped into HP.
Pride(Houndoom)(F)@Life Orb
Nature:Mild
Ability:Flash Fire
Ev's:4Atk/252SpA/252Spe
-Nasty Plot
-Fire Blast
-Dark Pulse
-Sucker Punch
Houndoom is probably one of the strongest special sweepers in UU. Much more destructive then Moltres if you ask me. After a Nasty Plot, even Chansey is being 2HKO'd. Sucker Punch was added over HP Grass to help against Dugtrio and to hit faster threats. Dark Pulse is another STAB move that wrecks Slowbro and other Pokemon that resist/are immune to Fire like Arcanine. After a NP Arcanine is OHKO'd even without rocks while it can't OHKO back. Ev's are 252/252 for maximum offensive capability.
Wrath(Hitmonlee)(M)@Black Belt
Nature:Adamant
Ability:Limber
Ev's:4HP/252Atk/252Spe
-Substitute
-Close Combat
-Rock Slide
-Sucker Punch
Hitmonlee is pretty much the cleaner, coming in when the team is weakened and firing off Close Combats. It usually comes in after Toxicroaks rampage is put to an end. It's a good Poke out of that anyway. Everyone assumes Scarf so it can net a shitload of suprise KO's, and Substitute gives great utility and easing prediction with Sucker Punch. With Black Belt, Close Combat 2HKO's standard Milotic, Donphan, and Blastoise, while OHKing standard Umbreon and Registeel. A true monster to be up against. Ev's are, again, for maximum offensive capability.
Thanks for looking!!! (:
