Ik my history with this forum isn't exactly the best but I'll try to be better. Anyways time to explain my UU team.

Grace (Shaymin) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: null Atk
- Substitute
- Seed Flare
- Leech Seed
- Air Slash
As we all know, UU is the metagame where bulky waters are dominant. Shaymin acts as a very reliable Water check that any team appreciates having (especially against Suicune.) I'm using the Offensive SubSeed set because it can play around stall as long as it lacks Crobat and sometimes is useful to scout due to having Substitute. Seed Flare is used for those Waters while Air Slash can take out Chestnaught, Mega Beedrill if behind a Sub, and other stuff. Shaymin helps out a lot since she is one of the few viable Grass types that can take on Suicune even if its at +1 (Trevenent does not count lol.) Leftovers is helpful for regaining lost HP from Substitute.
Lorelei (Nidoqueen) @ Life Orb
Lorelei (Nidoqueen) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 40 HP / 252 SpA / 216 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: null Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Sludge Wave
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam
Just like every competitive tier, SR is required on every team in order to be successful, UU is no exception. Nidoqueen is used as my SR user because she synergizes well with the rest of my team and she handles Electric and Fairy types. SR is there for obvious reasons while the other 3 attacks are for damage. Sludge Wave murders Fairy types and is relatively safe to go for when I'm aren't sure of what switches in. Earth Power hits Electric and Steel types. Ice Beam covers Hydriegon, Crobat, and opposing Ground types that would wall Nidoqueen otherwise. LO is being used to increase the damage output.

The Tight V (Victini) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Victory Star
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- V-create
- Zen Headbutt
- Bolt Strike
- U-turn
Yes, that's the pokemon being suspected atm. Scarfed Victini is something that not many people will expect since it is often running a Banded or Mixed LO set. This set is meant to surprise others by outspeeding and taking out a threat. V-create is incredibly powerful and hits hard even without a boost, problem though is the stat drops which forces Victini out. Zen Headbutt acts as a secondary STAB to handle Fighting types. Bolt Strike is very helpful in hitting Water types barring Swampert and Seismitoad for respectable damage and won't miss TOO MUCH thanks to Victory Star. U-turn is just there to grab momentum. Very helpful team member, especially since it makes up a FWG core with Shaymin and Suicune.
JESUS Crystal (Suicune) @ Leftovers
Crystal (Suicune) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: null Atk
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Possibly one of the most annoying UU mons ever. Suicune is a bulky water type that is also very scary late-game if its checks are removed. Scald is its Water STAB that willalways burn if you get lucky. Calm Mind boosts Scald's power and makes it nearly unbreakable on the special side. Rest is there for longevity while Sleep Talk allows Suicune to not be dead weight while it's asleep. It's basically a standard Crocune set that is pretty self-explanatory. It is incredibly obvious why Leftovers are being run. As long as pokes immune to water, such as Heliolisk and Toxicroak are removed, Suicune will dominate.

UU Hype (Mandibuzz) (F) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 248 HP / 136 Def / 108 SpD / 16 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: null Atk
- Foul Play
- Taunt
- Defog
- Roost
I may not be THAT weak to hazards, but I always feel safer with anti-hazard support. Mandibuzz provides that support in the form of Defog. Foul Play will punish physical attackers or anyone who is real enough to go for SD on Mandi. Taunt prevents Mandibuzz from becoming set up bait and stops walls such as Blissey, from using support moves. Roost helps out by healing up Mandibuzz so it can continue taking hits, especially since this set is running Rocky Helmet instead of Leftovers to punish moves that make contact. Very good Physical Wall overall. It may face competition from Crobat as a defogger but her typing is arguably better for my team.
Kirby (Slurpuff) (M) @ Sitrus Berry
Kirby (Slurpuff) (M) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Play Rough
- Drain Punch
- Return
Slurpuff is my wincon. Belly Drum is a move "of the extremes" which boosts Slurpuffs Attack to +6 at the cost of half of its HP (activating Unburden as well.) Play Rough is the obvious STAB move that will be used. Drain Punch grants coverage on the Steel types that would otherwise wall Slurpuff and it heals some of his HP. Return is basically there so that nothing can wall him at +6 barring a few, including Doublade. If Doublade is removed however, Slurpuff will have very little walls to worry about. Ik that many people are questioning why I would use an Adamant Nature over a Jolly Nature. Personally I want more power, and Adamant outspeeds everything it needs to after an Unburden boost.
