My first true attempt at making an NU team. Been playing OU for awhile and saw some NU matches on youtube and found it more versatile and fun.
First Team set up...

EDIT- Took out Bastiodon for Metang
Now, I know it's hard to believe, but I actually didn't plan on having all 3 5th gen starters to be on the team, but I actually found having all 3 to be very effective, as they're all very great pokes in NU.
Let's start off with the explanation...
Lead - Sub seeder - TrouserSnake/Serperior
Bold - Leftovers - Overgrow
EV Spread - 252 HP, 96 Def, 160 Spe
Substitute
Leech Seed
Leaf Storm
Hidden Power(FIRE)
Bold - Leftovers - Overgrow
EV Spread - 252 HP, 96 Def, 160 Spe
Substitute
Leech Seed
Leaf Storm
Hidden Power(FIRE)
I first attempted the calm minding set, but had little success with it, especially as a lead. Trying out the leech seeding set with some more success, while also benefiting the lack of a wisher. Hidden Power Fire is there merely as a unexpected factor. Will definitely change things around once it's DW ability is released.
Physical RK- Banded Pig - HADOUKEN!/Emboar
Jolly - Choice Band - Blaze
EV Spread - 4 hp, 252 Atk, 252 Spe
Flare Blitz
Wild Charge
Superpower
Earthquake
Emboar is sick in NU. I love his movepool and his how well he does with a choice band. Takes care of those pesky walls, such as Propopass, Bastiodon, Lickiliky, ect. Really scary poke in NU.
Samurai Seal - Wall Breaker - Nobunaga/Samurott
Modest - Life Orb - Torrent
EV Spread - 96 HP, 252 Sp.attk, 160 Spe
Modest - Life Orb - Torrent
EV Spread - 96 HP, 252 Sp.attk, 160 Spe
Hydro Pump
Hidden Power (Elec)
Taunt
Ice Beam
Hidden Power (Elec)
Taunt
Ice Beam
Samurott is a nice Special sweeper and also deals with walls very well, as a lot of things in NU seem to set up a lot. Hidden Power electric for those water mirrors and Life orb for that extra stab.
Jesus Christ Himself - Derpmaster -God/Stunfisk
Bold - Leftovers - Static
EV Spread - 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Sp.def
Scald
Rest
Sleep Talk
Thunderbolt
Bold - Leftovers - Static
EV Spread - 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Sp.def
Scald
Rest
Sleep Talk
Thunderbolt
I refuse to part with this thing. I love stunfisk. His large amount of HP gives him enough bulk to take on certain pokes. I love static haxing. I love scald burn haxing. I love the sleep talking set, especially with this team. Stunfisk Is the derp of NU, but he's no magikarp.
American Scarf'd - Physical Sweeper - Americana/Braviary
Adamant - Choice Scarf - Sheer Force
EV Spread - 4 HP, 252 Attk, 252 Spe
Superpower
Rock Slide
Brave Bird
U-turn
Awesome move pool. Awesome base Attack..But crappy speed, even with Max speed Jolly. He was my first choice as a life orber, but he's just way too slow and has really bad bulk. I love it with scarf. Outspeeds a lot of threats. Great pokemon
Eviolite User - Stealth Rocker - Clamps/Metang
Careful - Eviolite - Clear Body
EV Spread - 252 HP, 4 Def, 252 Sp.Def
Stealth Rock
Toxic
Meteor Mash
Zen Headbutt
I'm open to any criticism, as this is my first NU team. Any advice on pokes I should consider, sets I should use, or change in natures/items? Let me know in a constructive, polite way :D.
