Houndoom Lead Houndoom is a great attacker, boasting two immunities, high speed, and wonderful Attack and Special Attack stats. Houndoom does, however, have a 2x weakness to Stealth Rock, limiting his ability to switch in and out repeatedly - something that limits his ability to be a sweeper...

I think that the Kecleon lead is better off being a trick room lead that boasts Stealth Rock. Fake Out (because it's free damage) -> Trick Room -> Stealth Rock: It sets up rocks, deals a little damage, and is only open to one attack before Rocks are up, which is easily fixable by using a...

Azumaril with Aqua Jet can kill off both of your sweepers. Hell, any average-speed water-type with Surf can kill Rhydon, and if it can take one hit from Blaziken's Thunderpunch (like Gastrodon or Lanturn), the chicken is fried, too. Like other people mentioned, so many Choice-users will just...

Your Ambipom lacks a fighting-type move, meaning that it's pretty ineffective against the Rock and Steel-types that are popular walls in UU. When you grabbed Pursuit, I think you forgot about needing the coverage. On a balanced team, I like leads like Uxie that can get an entry hazard up...

Megahorn (or HP Bug) on Nidoking over HP Grass. HP Grass takes water, rock, and ground - Bug takes Psychic, Dark, and Grass. You have EQ to take out Rock already, TBolt for Water, and Ice Beam to take out Ground. You need something to deal with the obvious Psychic switchins, being able to hit...

I really like the concept of this team - it seems well suited to deal with the weather-dominated UU, while still having all the killing power that both of the weather teams are known for. I would suggest taking Stealth Rock over Knock Off on Uxie - a very offensive team could use some entry...

Ok, I'll try Azumarill now. I was testing out Mesprit, and really like the results. I'll update the first post after a couple of battles w/ Azumarill.

Bump?

I didn't think of Mesprit or Azumaril. I'll test those out over the weekend. I'm going to stay with Drifblim, because the chesto-rest set is working really well. I'm going to go with your suggestions on Arcanine, as well. I'll edit the first post with the Arcanine changes now, and then...

This is my second RMT, and this team has been having a lot of success over the past week or two. I'm having a spot of trouble with it, though, and I hope that the RMT community can help me smooth it out. Changes are in Bold Italics. UU Bulky Team This team is composed entirely of bulky...

This looks to be a great match. I'd love to see a warstory or something from this. Also: Blue for the upset.

If a Wallrein uses Defense Curl twice, is Ice Ball's power quadrupled, or is it just doubled?

Power Trick Claydol Claydol @ Leftovers/Life Orb Ability: Levitate Nature: Impish (+Def, -SpA) EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Atk -Power Trick -Earthquake -Stone Edge -Stealth Rock/Explosion/Rapid Spin When people see Claydol, they expect either a Special attacker or a Support Pokemon, and will...

If you want to have both Wish support and Aromatherapy, you can make a couple of easy changes to the team and have both. If you drop Stealth Rock on Uxie and give it to Claydol, then you have (better) Wish support and can have Aromatherapy/Heal Bell on Chansey. Also, you could replace...
