At a Glance:
Team Building Process:
I needed a lead that can set up stealth rocks without dieing. Uxie had amazing defenses average speed and good attack to U-Turn out of the situation.
I added two amazing late game sweepers with super high offense and speed. With Pinsir's ability Mold Breaker it could hit almost every PKMN in UU.
Another two PKMN came in. Venasaur and Wailord. Yes Wailord; with his massive HP and water spout most PKMN can't stand it.. They both have good bulk and can take out PKMN. If Venasaur sets up he could get up to 2 kills. These guys can be early sweepers.
Last thing was Dugtrio my revenge killer. Amazing ability high speed and good attack make it perfect.
I replaced Wailord with Blastoise with the same set because it outclasses Wailord in pretty much everything.

LEAD
Uxie @
Ability: Levitate
EV's: 252 HP/4 ATK/252 DEF
Impish (+Def -SpA)
~Stealth Rocks
~Thunder Wave
~U-Turn
~Zen Headbutt
Uxie is my amazing lead. With it's collosal defenses it can take a lot of hits. Setting up stealthrock is simple for uxie due to its natural bulk. Thunder Wave is just a support move that can cripple fast sweepers that ill have trouble with later in the game. Zen Headbutt is just there for STAB damage to those poisons namely Venasaur. U-Turn is for scouting and for those taunting Ambipoms.
How Uxie handles some leads:
- Usually it's a trick lead as its becoming very common. Switch to Pinsir who already has a Choice Scarf and hit with X-Scissor.
- Take the Fake-out, T-Wave, set up Rocks and U-Turn out.
- T-Wave and SR completely cripple it.
- This one is a toughie. usually T-Wave then U-Turn out to kill it as fast as I can because its setting up Spikes and will Explode.
EARLY-MID-GAME SWEEPERS
Venusaur @
Ability: Overgrow
EV's: 252 ATK/4 DEF 252 SPE
Jolly (+Spe -SpA)
~Sleep Powder
~Swords Dance
~Power Whip
~Earthquake
Venusaur is this team's most valuable Pokemon in the early- to mid-game because of its ridiculous ability to keep offensive momentum, as well as being our most reliable switch into bulky waters. Jolly nature is to speed tie with those base 80's(Blaziken, Kabutops). Life Orb is for maximum damage. Sleep Powder suports the team and suuports his setup. Bring Venusaur in on something not effective, sleep powder the counter and swords dance. Power whip has 50% more damage than seed Bomb even though Seed Bomb has 100% accuarcy. Earthquake provides good coverage.
Blastoise @
Ability: Torrent
EV's: 4 Hp/252 SpA/252 SPE
Modest(+SpA -Atk)
~Water Spout
~Hydro Pump
~Ice Beam
~HP Electric
I replaced Wailord with bBlastoise because it outclasses it in everything pretty much. With a choice Scarf and 252 Evs, Blastoise can outspeed Dugtrio, Alakazam and Sceptile with a Speed boosting nature. Blastoise has a lower SpA but not by much only 5. When he is at low Hp and Torrent activates, Water Spout can't be used anymore as it's not effective, Hydro Pump will have a huge amount of damage.
THE REVENGE KILLER
Dugtrio @ life orb
Ability: Arena Trap
EV's: 252 ATK/40 SpD/216 SPE
Jolly(+Spe -SpA)
~Earthqauke
~Stone Edge
~Night Slash
~Aerial Ace
Thanks to its high Speed stat and Arena Trap, Dugtrio is a very reliable revenge killer . Earthquake is your primary attack, not only because it is Dugtrio's only STAB move, but also because it can score some useful OHKOs on Pokemon like Blaziken, and Toxicroak. Dugtrio's Dark-type move will enable it to hit Claydol, as well as Levitating Ghost-types such as Mismagius and Rotom. Aerial Ace is mainly a filler as it doesn't do much. A supereffectyive Aerial Ace does 120 while a neutral EQ does 150 with STAB.40 Special Defense gives you a slightly better chance of surviving a +2 Vacuum Wave from a Modest Toxicroak.
LATE GAME SWEEPERS
Alakazam @
Ability: Synchronize
EV's: 4 HP/252 SpA/ 252 SPE
Modest(+SpA -Atk)
~Psychic
~Shadow Ball
~Grass Knot
~Focus Blast
Oh shit, Alakazam. What a fuckin beast. With the highest SpA in UU and its amazing speed nothing could beat it(except priority users lol).Psychic will hit anything who doesn't resist it incredibly hard – a possible OHKO for the most part.Shadow Ball allows you to OHKO Mismagius. Grass Knot for those Milotics. Alakazam's main drawbacks are its paper thin defenses and lack of resistances. Most priority attackers will take a huge chunk out of Alakazam's HP, threatening to cripple or OHKO it.
Pinsir @
Ability: Mold Breaker
EV's: 252 ATK/4 DEF/252 SPE
Adamant(+Atk -SpA)
~X-Scissor
~Close Combat
~Earthquake
~Stone Edge
Pinsir is an often forgotten physical threat. With a great base Attack stat, solid defenses, good Speed, and two stellar abilities, it is indeed a force to be reckoned with.X-Scissor is your strongest attack, while Earthquake and Stone Edge give great coverage. Close Combat hits Steel-types slightly harder than Earthquake due to the higher Base Power.Mold Breaker allows Pinsir to ignore the Ability Levitate on Pokemon such as Rotom, Solrock, and Lunatone, easily knocking out all three with Earthquake. The EVs for this set were are made to ensure that Pinsir becomes as speedy and as powerful as possible.

I need help to make this team the best it can be. Help with the EV's would be appreciated. Also Rain Dance Teams fuck me over. Seriously, it's so fucking annoying. I can't do anything against them.
