[Bidbip]

Hello everyone, I just join smogon and wanted to get my UU team rated and fix. It been doing very good for me so here it. Sorry about the crappy title. It is very random and dumb but that all I could think of.
So far 28 win 9 loss. rating 1409
Team at glance:

Yanmega (M) @ Life orb
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP /252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Air Slash
- Bug Buzz
- Hidden power Rock
- Protect

Yanmega is my lead who have save my ass so many times. Protect is to scout and also to gain a +1 speed so I can outrun everyone. Protect also save me from fake out. Bug Buzz and Air Slash should be Self-explanatory. Hidden power ground is to OHKO almost every fire poke after SR damage.

Milotic@leftovers
nature: bold
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
-surf
-ice beam
-recover
-toxic

My answer to Fire poke and stall battle. Surf for stab, Toxic to win in stall battle, Ice Beam is for coverage and recover is self explanatory. He swap in to all fire attack and take in any status giving him a power up in def.

Feraligatr (M) @ Leftovers Been replace for a drapion
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 40 HP / 240 Atk / 230 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Waterfall

Feraligatr is a mini Gyarados. He is my main physical poke. After 2 DD he should be able to sweep a team with ease. Waterfall for stab. Ice punch and Earthquake for coverage.

Hitmontop (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Technician
EVs: 236 HP / 252 Atk / 20 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Close Combat
- Mach Punch
- Rapid Spin

Hitmontop is my rapid spinner. He also a good paralyze aborber since I really only rely on mach and bullet punch. I'm thinking to replace close combat with a differnet move. Maybe payback if he can learn it. Nothing much to say about him beside I love technician giving Bullet and mach punch a power up.

Registeel @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 240 HP / 172 Atk / 96 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Explosion
- Iron Head
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave

Registeel is my second wall/tank. He mainly set up Stealth rock and thunder wave the team. If I come arcoss somthing that I cant kill I will blow up in that poke in his face. Iron head is for stab. Thinking of replacing him for regirock.

Mismagius (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Trick

Ok, this is the poke I need help with the most. Mismagius has good speed and sp. attack, but I can't find a good set for this poke. He's supposed to be my sp. sweeper for the team and something to absorb fighting and normal moves.If possible can you guy recommnd a set for this poke since I need a ghost poke to save my team from a slaking sweep.



Please don't be harsh on me. This is my first time doing a RMT and posting. I did my best and follow the rules. If I broke a rule please point it out so I can fix it.

~Bidbip

Threat list: So far
Registeel I will go to Feraligatr and hit him with Earthquake.
Steeltix I will go to Hitmontop and mach punch it to death
Porygon2 Same with Steeltix
Drapion Same with Registeel
Espeon.... I have to be careful and OHKO him with yanmega.
Yanmega I will use registeel to paralyze him and Iron head him.
Blaziken I will use yanmega since air slash OHKO.
More coming soon..... Blame my laziness

Hi and welcome to Smogon,

here are some advices on your team:

1) I see a quite evident weakness to Blaziken, nothing can switch into life orb'd fire blast barring Feraligatr, which anyway isn't suited to be used defensively - you usually want it to switch in unharmed to set up and attempt a sweep. I think that you should replace Porygon-2 with a bulky water, you really need a counter for fire pokemons. My suggestion is Milotic:

Milotic@leftovers
nature: bold
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
-surf
-ice beam
-recover
-toxic

2) Definitely keep Registeel, it's your only counter for both Yanmega and Mismagius, I'd just advise to make it SpD oriented, so use a careful nature and an EV spread of: 252 HP / 80 Atk / 176 SpD. Keep the moveset. With this spread Yanmega can at best 4hko and a +1 Mismagius can only 3hko while iron head always breaks her substitutes.

3) About your own Mismagius: dark pulse is really useless, it doesn't provide any addictional coverage along with shadow ball and thunderbolt. I'd advise to make your Mismagius a standard calm minder, so:

Mismagius@leftovers
nature: timid
EVs: 48 HP / 208 SpA / 252 Spe
-substitute
-calm mind
-shadow ball
-hidden power [fighting]

I find that sub-CM Mismagius is her best set, with the ability of setting up on things like Chansey with impunity. Ghost/fighing give perfect neutral coverage, though thunderbolt is also an option if you don't want to use a Spe IV of 30 for HP fighting.

Good luck!

I will test your milo suggestion but normally I predict a fighting move and swap in my yanmega since he can outrun him and OHKO with air slash unless I become unlucky and it miss. Thank you for that Mismagius set. This is my first time using her in a UU match. I also dont want to use a milo because i will have 3 poke weak to electric type move. So Should I get a regirock instead of registeel. Also for hitmontop would fake out better than close combat?

The problem are not fighting moves but rather fire moves: as I said, you have no counters for fire pokemons barring Feraligatr, which may be weakened too much to try to sweep later. Milotic would also make a good switch into Azumarill, another potential problem for your team. Yeah, electric pokemons may be hard to take out, but the only electric pokemon which may actually give you troubles is Rotom, which by the way, can't really hurt Registeel (barring trick variant) and doesn't enjoy being paralyzed - and anyway you can revenge kill it with Mismagius, or even attempt to set up on it.

And no, keep Registeel, it's a better counter for Yanmega and Mismagius. I'd also keep close combat on Hitmontop, without life orb a powerful move may be necessary to hurt common walls like the Regi trio and Steelix.

I would recommend for Mismagius a TrickSpecs set:

Mismagius (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Trick

This brings a lot of power to your team as well as a great tool vs. stall teams. As of right now, it seems as though stall may give you a lot of problems. If the Sub/CM set isn't working for you, try out this set. Missy is also a pretty cool tool vs. Blaziken, switching in on Superpowers that Milotic doesn't like and dealing a minimum of 75% to Blaziken with Specs Shadow Ball.

A better set for Hitmontop whose role on this team is to spin is the more defensive set with Intimidate. This grants you with a great Absol switch, who can deal heavy damage to your team as it is. Foresight, Close Combat, Rapid Spin, and Mach Punch/Sucker Punch/Rest/Stone Edge gives you a guaranteed spin vs. stall teams.

Good luck with your team!

Ok this team looks pretty well thought out but I see a very big weakness to trickscarf-rotom. It counters yanmega, registeel, and hitmontop and can easily kill off milotic, feraligatr and mismagius assumin it still has it's scarf. I know this sounds weird but I'd remove feraligatr for a Flash fire arcanine. It can absorb the fire attacks directed at registeel and yanmega while boosting it's own fire moves.

I'd use the choice band arcanine:

Arcanine(M) @choice band
ability: flash fire(you can use intimidate here too i suppose)
EVs: 6hp/252 attack/252 speed
nature: jolly(+speed, -special attack)
-flare blitz
-extremespeed
-thunder fang
-iron head/overheat

I was thinking of just doing that but I was thinking of this set.
Arcanine(M) @choice scarf
Ability flash fire to absorb fire attack
EV 28hp/252att/ 230 speed
Nature: adamant
-flare blitz
-extremespeed
-thunder fang
-iron head

I need something that can hit both Registeel and slowbro.... Lately they have been destroying my team.

Oh by the way, Nice team you have.......

You have Hitmontop to deal with Registeel, and if you manage to hit Slowbro with toxic you'll have no problems taking it out later. Anyway, Arcanine is a really bad replacement for Feraligatr: it can barely scratch Slowbro even with a super effective thunder fang while being ohko'd in return by surf.

If you're planning on removing Feraligatr, then I have 2 suggestions:

1) use:

Blaziken@life orb
nature: rash
EVs: 240 Atk / 252 SpA / 16 Spe
-fire blast
-superpower
-hidden power [grass]
-vacuum wave

fire blast + hidden power [grass] will 2hko Slowbro while either fire blast and superpower will take care of Registeel. This Blaziken is the best wall breaker in the tier.

or

2) use:

Drapion@leftovers / lum berry
nature: jolly
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
-swords dance
-earthquake
-night slash
-taunt

this is also a great stall breaker but with higher defence and speed.

Can a blaziken beat a spirtomb?

If not what can kill a spritomb with ease without worrying about being burn, and break other stall. yet work good with other poke on my team.

Max SpA life orb'd fire blast from Blaziken does 77.30% - 91.12% to a max HP Spiritomb. So yes, Blaziken can beat Spiritomb, especially if you switch it into a W-o-W, Blaziken also resists dark pulse, but try not to abuse that, because it's quite frail.

Since I will be using a blaziken should I replace hitmontop for a cladol?
