Introduction:
Hello everyone; I decided to post my team in the RMT thread because I have had an ample amount of success using it, especially in the UU Open. I can easily say that this is the best team I have created to date, due to its overall consistency. I would like to make it clear: I am not posting this team here wanting/needing elaborate suggestions or looking to replace Pokemon. This team has proven to be effective, and I want to share it with all of you because I believe it is a great example of the ORAS UU tier right now. Of course, I would be perfectly fine with basic changes, and I encourage you to suggest them to me if you have good reasoning for them. Enjoy!





Introduction:
Team Concept:
After ironing out that initial core, hazard stacking immediately sprang to mind. A great strategy in general, hazard stacking also specifically helped Mandibuzz exert pressure on Defog users. This in turn helped Calm Mind Florges, whose usual checks are grounded. I eventually selected Roserade, Swampert and Forretress as my hazard core.
At that point, I needed a revenge killer that could provide some Speed to my team and help punish Hyper-Offensive teams and ideally provide me another win condition. Luckily, Hone Claws Mega-Aerodactyl fit that role beautifully, and it also offered me a key flying resistance and secondary fire resistance.

I used Knock Off as my STAB of choice as it did a better job of punishing the bulky Pokemon Mandibuzz was meant to handle than Foul Play, and was an easy move to spam. Taunt + Toxic is the combo I was most interested in, as it prevented recovery while also whittling Pokemon down. The 80 Speed EVs are aimed to outspeed most Roar Suicune.
