Who here uses UU pokes in higher tiers?

[Flying_Ninja123]

As the title says, do you use UU (or even NU) Pokemon in your usual OU team? I'm curious to see which Pokemon work well and which are used more often outside of their usual tier. I myself use a Rest Talking Blastoise on my regular team, and man does he get the job done.

 

[yoshi!]

I'm breeding a Resttalk spoink for my wifi team and I'm using an octillery. With an agility from dystro's Jolt, it works wonders.

Ninjask into anything really that would sweep there works in Standard.

 

[SkaterTrainer]

I'm about to use a kingler ninjask combo in a new team I'm making and a bp minun to a wise specs sweeping empoleon, think about it speed plus more spatk, and the walling capabilities.

I'm using some Hitmons, only because i've spent so long breeding the bastards they may as well see some use XD

 

[Pikachu of Doom]

I used a SD/Quick Attack Pinsir on my best team. It worked about once.

 

[darkie]

I use Armaldo.

 

[Yoko Rains]

I use Typhlosion, and possibly Feraligatr.

I often use Kecleon on my time when I have a pokemon that needs setting up. He Tricks whatever I'm holding (typically specs), and then I'm free to either Nasty Plot up using Kecleon, or switch to a pokemon that can start sweeping. I'm also very interested in trying Raichu right now.

If we're talking BL pokemon, Sceptile is a staple as it's my favorite. Uxie is also quite useful.

I use Cradily on my Sandstorm teams.. but I'm not sure if it's UU.

Other than that, not really... usually, I just stick to solid, good OU/BL Pokemon.

 

[BlindSeraph]

Hmm. I use a scarf Mixken, a Rest/talk Zapdos, a Gallade, and a Belly Drum Linoone.

 

[Pneuma]

Yeah, but only if they help in a very specific way.

 

[beefdreams]

i use my hitmonlee on my team from time to time.
its been working out great lately

 

[zukirin]

I use all sorts of them, my fave is Azumaril who swept tons of teams by itself after 2 SD bp from absol.

 

[Madcat]

I use Linoone almost all the time in OU.

 

[Ambitions]

according to
http://www.smogon.com:81/dp/pokemon/
mamoswine is UU and i use him in just about every battle. it freaking love
that man bear pig

otherwise, i use pinsur on my OU shoddy teams

 

[CWW]

In ADV I used Blastoise as a Mence and T-Tar slayer, but with Choice Specs and Sandstream boost it isn't as effective anymore.

I'm currently using Scarf Kingler on a rain dance team as a revenge killer. It 2HKOs a lot of things, although Crabhammer isn't always reliable.

 

[Megaynium]

Only mamoswine, since apparently it's UU

 

[Sniper]

Jumpluff FTW!

Nah, it's BL (or OU, depending on the stats). The tier list hasn't been updated, not sure why.

I generally prefer to use UU pokemon in OU only if they're accomplishing something more than they'd be doing in UU. Stallrein is probably the best example of this, since there's no hail in UU. Some UU pokemon also have the ability to counter OU pokemon more effectively then other OU (Lanturn countering a Flinch-hax Togekiss is a pretty decent example of this).

 

[cim]

Several UU pokes are good in both tiers; notably Poliwrath, Mr. Mime, and Lanturn.

 

[sandman]

I use both nidos, they're good choice users, i'mmune to sandstorm, resistant to stealth rock, and absorb toxic spikes.

 

[cim]

Hmm. I use a scarf Mixken, a Rest/talk Zapdos, a Gallade, and a Belly Drum Linoone.

Those are BL. Except linoone

 

[Seq]

Meganium is in my team but i will need to breed one with counter soon.
