Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I've found recently that I like building around less than common mons. So when i sat down to build my new team I decided to look around BL and scooped up Victini. Considering the last team I built around was also around a 100 across the board mon and I hit the 1500s almost instantly, I thought...

Zapdos dropped to UU? Obviously I have to build a team around that!! I wanted to build a balanced/Volt-Turning team around an offensive (not defensive like the OU version) Zapdos. Without further ado, here is the team:
Thor (Zapdos) @ Choice...
One of my newer teams I've been working on, based around Trick Room Hoopa. The team is more balanced than anything and hasn't peaked that high (so far late 1300s).
Teambuilding Process:
Since it's drop to UU I've been wanting to build a team around Hoopa. I went with Focus Sash + Trick...
The Team:
To start things off I wanted the star of my balanced team to be a fire type that has access to Extremespeed. Originally I wanted Entei but then I realized Arcanine with a fire immunity and Wild Charge. Arcanine does really well for hitting very hard against near everything...
This team has gone through a lot of changes being that it started with Bisharp (the original mon I based the team around) - Venusaur - Latias - Landorus - Keldeo - Talonflame.
And I've already changed in and out Zapdos, Tentacruel, Clefable, and some other wall. So I'm pretty open to change...
First off let me start by saying this isn't the most competitive team but it's not supposed to be just some gimmick team either. This started when my friend Caitlin did that "add up your birthday to find out what kind of Pokemon you are" thing on Facebook and got Hitmonlee. However I would like...
I've been playing UU for a while and think I've finally come up with a master piece. A little something for every mon in UU.

I pick Smeargle over anything else due to the access of both Sticky Web and Stealth Rock, and when I see Diancie or Sableye I counter lead respectively. Gengar gives me a switch into Rapid Spin and M-Lopunny dies to Focus Blast. Do you have another suggestion to take on SD Excadrill? I've used...
I like having Sticky Web and Rocks so I can slow down the fast megas and KO them and hurt Charizard and Talonflame. Spikes are usually the least used hazard for me
Usually peaks in the 1400s, hopefully trying to make it better.
