XY UU Sunny Team

[Marenoc]

So here is the thing... I have never, ever used a weather team. But, I am extremely interested, especially since one of my favorite Pokemon is Arcanine. SO! Here is the team.



As you can see from above. It's UU and below, with a push towards below. HOPE YOU LIKE!

Arcanine @ Heat Rock
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 192 HP / 248 SpA / 4 SpD / 64 Spe
Modest Nature
- Sunny Day
- Morning Sun
- Fire Blast
- SolarBeam

First Off is out Heat Rock Sunny Day user. With is regular bulk and recovery capability, Arcanine works wonders with a Sun Team, and can easily take some water type moves once the sun is up. I like to run Special Arcanine for the Solarbeam Coverage.

Cresselia (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 248 Def / 8 SpA
Bold Nature
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Moonlight
- Psyshock

Next, we need to take care of the Ground weakness that this team is going to have with Fire Types. Something with Levitate and Recovery ability works wonders. I recently played through B2W2 and fell in love with Cresselia. I run Ice Beam over Moonblast just for preference because of the next Pokemon's weaknesses to Flying.

Leafeon @ Leftovers
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Leaf Blade
- X-Scissor
- Swords Dance
- Return (would like Knock Off)

Here is one of the most underrated Chlorophyll users on the planet. With a decent bulk at a 130 Base Defense, this Eeveelution is able to take hits, set up Swords Dance, and with Chlorophyll his speed is up to 578 which is faster than Scarfed Hydreigon and Noivern.. So hit him on which in, then hit him again when he thinks he is faster.

Moltres @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Flamethrower
- SolarBeam
- Agility
- Hurricane

Here is the teams main source of Sunny Day Power. With The Sun up, Life Orb, and Modest nature, Moltres' Flamethrower is going to hit like a truck. Solarbeam is good coverage, and don't forget Hurricane. Agility to help it boost its speed on some pokes, since Moltres speed with this set is only 289.

Blastoise-Mega @ Blastoisinite
Ability: Mega Launcher
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Aura Sphere
- Rapid Spin
- Dark Pulse
- Water Pulse

With Moltres, this team definately needs a spinner. It helps out Arcanine a significant amount also. I run the standard rapid spin with STAB Water Pulse with Mega Launcher boost, and Aura Sphere and Dark Pulse is very painful. (My big question is, should I change nature and EVs to defensive?)

Nidoking (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam
- Sludge Bomb
- Flamethrower

The choice scarf god himself. Nidoking is here to take advantage of the sun with flamethrower and if that isn't helping, just use Sheer Force and any other move to just destroy anything in its path. Scarf Nidoking is never something you want to pass up.

Any help is appreciated.

Personally i think sawsbuck is better than leafeon based only on its STAB double edge more than making up for the slightly weaker attack. It also gets swords dance which is a plus.
Sawsbuck Leftovers
252 att 252 spd 4 hp
Adamant
-Double edge
-Jump kick
-Horn leech (helps get hp back which is why i like it more than seed bomb)
-Swords dance/wild charge

Alrighty, nice team, I like the idea!

1) Change Blastoise to physically defensive (232 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA / 20 Spe) and change Water Pulse to Scald. This allows you to outspeed uninvested base 80s while retaining max physical bulk and taking on the likes of Darmanitan.

2) Change Sludge Bomb to Sludge Wave since Chesnaught is immune to Sludge Bomb courtesy of Bulletproof.

3) Since Leafeon seems to be your late-game cleaner, I suggest giving it a Life Orb to add oomph into its attacks.

4) My last would be to replace Moltres with Life Orb Hydreigon. It gives you extra Water insurance, can function without sun (just a back up in case Arcanine or Cress dies), and acts as an extremely effective wallbreaker. Speaking of, replace Cresselia's item with Heat Rock and Psyshock with Sunny Day.



That'd be all, hope I helped :)

Nice team, but remember that Blastoises Water Pulse's power will be significantly weaker in the sunlight.

 

[Brendannn]

you should make another Pokemon a sun setter. imo cresselia is probably the best choice and i would get rid of psyshock for it. you should definitely keep the lefties tho. and defensive blastoise would probably be better due to the fact that ur water moves are weakened so having a utility water move instead of purely offense would benefit your team a lot better. gl.

Nice team, but remember that Blastoises Water Pulse's power will be significantly weaker in the sunlight.

As well as Hurricane missing more (accuracy drops in sun) so I would suggest Air Slash or some Hidden Power type over it.
