Introduction

Hello Everyone well this is my 5th RMT ,and i want to tell you guys something.My goals with these RMT's is to Make the best team in can make in that tier possible and have fun making them.Also, i want to make a RMT in every tier and so far i have only done Little Cup and OU.Now i decided to do Nu.Why Nu because it is a Metagame i was never comfortable with and it was hard for me to make teams in that Metagame.So, i tried my best to make the best team possible and after some play testing Over the next week i am going to try to Ladder up and see how high i get.If i make it on the Ladder this team was a Success.If the team is a Success i am going to save the team i made forever and make sure not to lose it because of the Success rate.If i am close to making it on the Ladder then i will call it a Success.If the Team can't get close to the Ladder then it failed.In the end the main reason i am making these RMT's is to test my Skills in every tier so i can relate to what anybody is saying about that tier.I must say that Nu is a really Hard tier to learn from my Perspective ,but i like to do different things and hope for the best.This introduction is pretty long ,but i really don't care as long as you see the whole team.So, enough rambling time to talk about the Team.

About The Team

This team started out as a team using alot of pokemon from Little Cup and NFE.I wanted to be Creative and only use pokemon from their ,but that didn't work out so well.So, I made changes from battle to battle ,so i can cover all the Threat i find in battle.That is when i tried out one pokemon ,and its name was Jumpluff.I fell in love with Jumpluff as a Sweeper.It was so easy to setup.All you have to do is use Sleep Power and them Swords Dance.Not only that it is pretty hard to wall Jumpluff in my opinion.Even if you do defeat it your team is probably weakened alot.Not just from attacking ,but one of your pokemon would be dead wait from Sleep Powder.Now that you have the Main pokemon of the Team.Lets start the Team Building.

Team Building

well i Started off with the STAR of the Team Jumpluff.The reason why i like Jumpluff is because it is very fast it has a good setup move and it can put anything in its way to sleep very easily.Sometime the Sleep Powder miss can be problematic ,but in the end Jumpluff pulls through with a easy sweep unless there is a pokemon that walls it easily.

Next i wanted something to cover up Jumpluff weaknesses.Rock,Flying,Ice, and Fire are the ones that came to my Mind so i decided to add Bastidon for 2 Reasons.It resist Three of Jumpluff's weaknesses and it can setup up Stealth Rock and get rid of Setup Sweepers with roar.I also went with Wartortle Because it resist Ice and Fire and it can get rid of Hazards with Rapid Spin.

Now i wanted something to get rid of Status.Something with Heal Bell so Wartortle and Bastidon dont have to worry about being Toxic or Burned.I decided on Milktank for 2 reasons.1 it is Extremel Annoying with Milk Drink and 2 it have Heal Bell to Get rid of Status.

Okay my Team looked good ,but i decided to add Emolga because of its Great Speed and ability to Beat annoying pokemon That mess with Jumpluff.

My Last Choice was Lileep.I still have my Doubts about Lileep ,but with Milktank i don't have to worry about getting Poisoned.I it also really bulky mostly with Stock Piled against offensive teams.Can;t really hurt it with recover.

Team Up-Close

Lileep @
eviolite.png

Trait: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Recover
- Stockpile
- Giga Drain
- AncientPower

Lileep is the weakest Link of the Team.I like its Good Bulk ,but it can't really do anything.All i can do is come in on some pokemon wall them get Toxic and switch out with anothe pokemon.If you have a Better pokemon instead of Lileep i wont mind replacing Lileep with something else ,but enough with that now about Lileep itself.

Recover is so Lileep can recover damage after being in the Battle after awhile.I would rather have Foongus because of Spore and its ability to not Get Toxic.Also, it get Synthesis i think so it can also heal to.Stock Pile is to annoying the Physical and Special attackers on Offensive teams.They cant even Hurt Lileep after awhile it is funny when they Rage Quit Because they Can't Hurt Lileep.Giga Drain is ,so i can Atleast do damage back to another pokemon and it helps regain Hp if i can't use Recover.Ancient Power is Just a Filler Move and Should Be replaced with Toxic realizing that Right now lol.

Lileep can sometimes Shine on this Team ,but it doesn't really do anything Helpful to the Team at all.I am probably going to replace Lileep if i don't see it shine Bright Like a Diamond like the Other pokemon on My team.


bastiodon.png

Bastiodon @
leftovers.png

Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Bold Nature
- Roar
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
- Metal Burst

Bastidon Does its Job on the Team with Ease.I usually Lead with Bastidon to get Rocks Up so Jumpluff can have a Easier Time Sweeping my Opponents.It easily roars out any Setup sweeper.Toxic is great when you predict a sweep to any kind of wall.It usually makes my Opponent Rage Quit because they That they Have Already lost.Through Metal Burst Doesn't really do anything unless i predict like a boss ,and own my Opponent it mostly comes in Handy when my Opponent activates sturdy when i Use Metal Burst there pokemon is always Koed.It is for Sure one of my Favorite Moves with some other.

Roar is so i can Defeat Setup Sweepers Like i said in the Above post ,but it also has some other uses.I use roar sometimes when i predict my opponents switch to another pokemon that i don't want to come in.I just use roar and they go to a pokemon they didn't want to come out or a Bug,Flying, or Fire type that get Hurt Badly from Stealth rock.Stealth Rock is the Bomb Diggidy Dong.It is great to defeat some of Jumpluff counters and Checks.Mostly Ice,Fire, and Flying all take Huge amounts of Damage from Stealth Rock.It also Helps with Roar and lets me move my Opponents Pokemon in and out and once i bring a Type that is weak to Stealth Rocks in they get pretty mad.Toxic is great when i Predict a Switch.If my Opponent tries to switch in to a Wall to beat My Bastidon or something that threatens him it is fun to use Toxic and watch as my Opponents get mad after being Crippled.Metal Burst is My favorite Move on this set Mostly when they use a SE move that deals Heavy Damage.I just use it and they die its so simple and easy to predict when they are going to use a Move like that.

Bastidon is a Pokemon that won't be Replaced on this team unless you can come up with something better.But, for right now i am staying with Bastidon

I'm in Ur Pillow (Jumpluff) (F) @
flyinggem.png

Trait: Chlorophyll
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Acrobatics
- Seed Bomb
- Swords Dance
- Sleep Powder

Meet the STAR of the Team Jumpluff.It can do anything it wants starting with sweeping any team Unprepared for it.I must warn you if you see a Jumpluff first thing you should do is to stay in with the pokemon you have in even if it is SE to you.Why you may ask because of one move Sleep Powder.If you go to your Counter the Moment Jumpluff comes in then your team is done for.Jumpluff uses Sleep Powder your asleep and then it Uses Swords Dance.You may be asking your self won't it be the Same situation if you left your pokemon in.Well its not because if you switch to your Counter your Counter is asleep and useless.While if you kept that other pokemon it will go asleep and then you can Choose your counter and defeat Jumpluff and your Counter is still alive.Thats why i choose Jumpluff the ability to defeat it is difficult with Sleep Powder.Its like a Venusaur.

Acrobatics is there for STAB and becuase i Use a Flying Gem so almost nothing can survive it after a Swords Dance.You might as well Quit unless you have Something ready.I choose Jolly because Max Speed i say is more Important because sometimes you can get Outspeed by Base 100's.Seed Bomb is so i can hit with STAB and it is a 2hko on That one water type with a Lot of health and Good Defense.It starts with a A.Swords Dance is actually the Second best move on this Set.It lets me Sweep alot of Unprepared teams Not ready for this Titan of Terror.Sleep Powder is the Best move on this Set.Sleep Powder helps me setup with SD so i can sweep teams.With Out Sleep Powder It would be to hard for Jumpluff to setup that why it is Important to have.

Jumpluff is the STAR of this Team and no Matter what i will not replace this pokemon because it is the Best of this Team so PLZ dont talk about replacing it Unless you have a Better Poke.

Emolga @
lifeorb.png

Trait: Motor Drive
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Roost
- Air Slash
- Hidden Power [Grass]

Emolga is a really good Pokemon.It can Heal up with roost.Hit Hard with Thunderbolt.Slash things with Air Slash.And, hit Etc with Hp Grass.That why i Like Emolga because of its ok Move Pool That lets me handle lots of threat in the Current Meta Game.Could have got Hp Fire over Hp Grass so i could hit Jynx for SE damage ,but thats something the Requires some testing.

Thunderbolt is a good move and does alot with Emolga.It can hit that Bulky Water type that starts with a A for a Ton of Damage it might be a Ohko ,but i have to check on that first.Roost Comes in handy sometimes because of life orb i tend to lose alot of Health Really Fast so it comes in handy sometimes.Air Slash is great for Killing Fighting types and Giant Centipedes.Also it has a good Flinch rate and makes alot of people mad when i Flinch them.Hp grass is Filler and i would probably replace it with Hp Fire anyway.

Emolga is actually a very good pokemon and i don't plan on replacing it unless you can come up with something better for it ,but Emolga does a good job at Scouting i was considering Volt Switch over Roost and taking off Life Orb for leftover or something that doesnt waste HP.

Miltank (F) @
leftovers.png

Trait: Scrappy
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Heal Bell
- Milk Drink
- Body Slam
- Earthquake

Milktank has an important Job on my Team.It is suppose to only do one thing and this is cure Status with Heal Bell.It may seem like only one little thing ,but curing the team is something that needs to be done so my team can function right.Example is if Jumpluff get Paralysis.It can't sweep properly ,but with Heal Bell it can sweep again without have to to get Out Speed by means other that it being too slow.

Heal Bell is the main reason i choose Milk Tank.Its ability to heal and be Hard to kill is a Blessing to my Team.I don't ever have to be worried about getting Paralysis,burned,Toxic,or put to sleep becuase i just can use heal bell and bam my team is ready to continue that battle.Milk Drink has 2 reasons of why its there.First it can heal Milktank so it can keep doing its job for the Whole entire game.Secondly, its fun to annoy people who think Milktank is an easy kill and slightly weaken every round to find out it can heal back to Full Health.Go Whitney.Body Slam is so i can Paralysis people and have some STAB on my Attacks.Earthquake is mostly Filler but helps sometimes when i need to just do some Damage.

Milktank is a Great Pokemon and it keeps my Team from Falling apart To stall Mostly an annoying PLaystyle that can be beat by Milktank.


Wartortle_usando_Aqua_cola.png

Wartortle @
eviolite.png

Trait: Torrent
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic
- Yawn

Last But not Least Wartortle.Wartortle is Like Milktank it has a Role for the Team and thats why I picked it.Also, it has something else that wanted me to Pick it besides the Main Reason of Rapid Spin.It helps cover Jumpluff's Weaknesses.He resist Ice and Fire so he really Helps with the Teams Synergy.He is also not Setup Fodder with Yawn so if they try to setup they probably have to switch out or just go to Sleep.If jumpluff already put something to sleep then there is a Problem(Dumb Sleep Clause)

Scald is My only attack move Besides Rapid Spin(Rapid Spin does nothing it is so weak).Scald main Job is to just deal damage or i use it to try and Burn my Opponent.Through i rarely get the Burn with scald,I would have to use it like fifthty Times to get a Burn(Not that many time for real.Just means it takes forever for me to burn something.Also Scald doesn't have that much PP LOL i said PP/For those with no since of Humor thats why i added this part).Rapid Spin is the Main Reason i Chose This Turtle.If i ever feel Like i need to get Hazards off the Field i Just send out this Little Sucker.Also Wartortle is pretty Bulky with Eviolite.Toxic is so i can Make Walls die fast like that water one i have talking about that starts with a A.Yawn is to Force Switches when i feel like i am about to get Setup on.

Wartortle is the Best Rapid Spinner in the Tier in my Mind.I will never replace this Little Turtle.Also, My sis has a Turtle named Turd LOL.

Threat List
Scarf Jynx-Is a Big Threat to Jumpluff because it outspeeds it and Ko's Jumpluff.Only way to stop Jynx is with Wartortle who can resist Blizzard and can put it to sleep.

Emolga-Walls Jumpluff and hurts it back with air Slash so my only way around that is to Kill it with a pokemon that can do pretty good amount of Damage to it.

SubSD Samurott-This Set is hard to face for my team as nothing can really kill it if its in Sub Even if i get rid of Sub would have probably Sacrafice a Pokemon to Defeat it.

Conclusion
well i hope you liked my RMT please

your team is EXTREMELY weak to fighting, seeing that 3 of your walls are weak to fighting and wartortle has no recovery. though you have 2 resistances they are both weak to rock and cannot be reliable to take a CB CC from a sawk. i see no real reason for lileep, one there is cradily, two you could use something to patch your fighting weakess.
for this lileep slot i would recommend musharna or misdreavus because they are probably your 2 best checks to fighting types currently in the tier. you could use musharna as a pivot or calm mind set depending on what you want; if you would want a sweeper use the CM set & if you want a pivot to keep momentum for jumpluff going you could use a baton pass pivot set.
for misdreavus you could use any standard defensive set to counter fighting types & somewhat of a wallbreaker if you run taunt. you could also do something that i have tried and love, run a nasty plot set to use on pokes such as spinners or choiced pokes that are forced to switch.

I feel like either of these pokemon would be a great addition to your team and help jumpluff be as successful as it can :D
 
FIRST SUGGESTION:
All right. One Pokemon I might suggest is TANGELA > LILEEP.

Tangela provides amazing bulk (although predominantly physical) through its amazing 65/115/40 defenses. Additionally, it provides a solid base 100 special attack as well as many usable support options. Finally, it has synthesis, regenerator, leech seed, leftovers, and giga drain to heal itself.

Tangela can take a more offensive path, boasting access to Leech Seed, Leaf Storm, Sleep Powder (although moot with Jumpluff), Hidden Power Ice, Stun Spore, and Synthesis. With 100 base attack eved, Tangela can hit fairly hard; I've also seen semi-effective specs variants, since it has access to surprising options such as Sludge Bomb and the occaisionally effective Ancient Power, alongisde hidden power fire, with recovery when it switches out; however eviolite versions are generally more effective.

Stun Spore, Knock Off, Giga Drain, HP Ice off strong special attack, synthesis, regenerator, toxic, leech seed, and more give Tangela strong supporting options as well. Tangela can take attacks from Sawk fairly easily; even ice punch is moot for physically defensive Tangela (248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spdef Bold). In fact, Tangela can even take banded Flare Blitz from Rapidash and banded Brave Bird from Braviary at full health; it's bulk is absolutely insane. HP Ice allows Tangela to beat Fraxure and Sawsbuck 1v1 against other Pokemon.

I think something along the lines of this would make a nice Cradily replacement:

Tangela @ Eviolite
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SDef
Bold Nature
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Leech Seed
- Synthesis

Knock off could be used over synthesis if you so desire, to help take out eviolites...

As an added note, you should use the 30 Spe IV version of HP Ice rather than the 30 Atk and 30 Def IV version that Showdown suggests initially; Tangela can afford the speed drop, but would rather not compromise its defense.

SECOND SUGGESTION:
It's a bit hard to fit in, but another Pokemon I'm looking at for your team is a wish passer; it would really help out Bastiodon and Wartortle, as well as help give Jumpluff switch in opportunities.

The obvious wish passer in NU is Alomomola, but it has synergy issues with Tangela; you could use it instead, though. It can reliable check Sawk, and supports your team with wish while healing itself with regenerator. However, it finds itself as set up fodder for many Pokemon, and will have trouble passing to Wartortle based on similar typing.

Other options that I'm looking at are Defensive Gardevoir, which can provide wish/protect and Wil-o-Wisp support, and Hypno, who provides immense special bulk along with thunder wave, wish, and seismic toss. Flareon could also be used, providing wish, possibly heal bell, and lava plume to burn physical threats. Flareon's and Gardevoir's low HP stats, however, make them far from ideal candidates.

Um... yeah. I'll check back on the Team Later. Make sure to get back to the doc where we're working on that OU team lol...

- AndThenThereWasOne
 
Have you considered running Surf on Wartortle? This would boost Lileep's Special Attack by one stage every time you'd use it. This would provide a spread move that would hit both opponents, too.
