This is my second RMT, 1st UU

This is, for the most part, a copy of my OU team, with the OUs And BLs substituted

My team is offensive, with almost all sweepers

The problems I have are mostly with stat-raisers, although for the most part this team does well

I have a positive record for UU, so it can't be too bad

Lead - Scyther @ Focus Sash
Technician
4 HP 252 Attack 252 Speed
Jolly
-Bug Bite
-Aerial Ace
-Quick Attack
-Brick Break

This is my lead. My anti-lead. He reliably disposes of the most common leads in UU. Focus Sash almost always guarantees 2 attacks, enough to KO at least 1, maybe 2 opponents. EVs/Nature are maximum sweeping potential. Bug Bite being his primary STAB. Aerial Ace and Brick Break hit almost everything else, with quick attack as a finisher.

Possible Changes:
I thought about protect instead of Brick Break/Quick Attack, for use against Fake Out users. Any ideas for that?

Special Sweeper - Arcanine @ Life Orb
Flash Fire
4 Attack 252 Speed 252 Sp Attack
Hasty
-Dragon Pulse
-Flamethrower
-Extremespeed
-Will-o-wisp

This set is a sweeper set, and the only thing it can't KO or seriously hurt are Water types. I chose Life Orb over Choice Scarf/Specs because its not too difficult to switch in that way. Flamethrower for most Pokemon, Dragon Pulse for Dragons, or something I can't KO with Flamethrower. Will-o-wisp is my dying move.

Possible Changes:
Choice Specs/Scarf
Different Move For Will-o-wisp

(Possible) Physical Sweeper - Tauros @ Salac Berry
Anger Point
4 HP 252 Attack 252 Speed
Adamant
-Earthquake
-Return
-Stone Edge
-Substitute

I use Tauros as a mid-game sweeper, I try to sub down until either I get Critical Hit, in which case it is almost always game over for them, or I get my Salac Berry boost and attempt a sweep anyway. Stone Edge lets me hit Ghost types with Levitate, something I was missing before with Rest Talk Tauros.

Possible Changes:
Salac Berry for Liechi Berry

Swords Dance Sweeper - Absol @ Focus Sash
Super Luck
252 Attack 252 Speed 4 Sp Def
Jolly
-Swords Dance
-Psycho Cut
-Sucker Punch
-Night Slash

In the absence of Entry Hazards against me, Absol becomes a nightmare for the other team. I Swords Dance until I am below 100% health, Focus Sash allowing at least 1, then proceed to sweep with Sucker Punch, or one of the other moves if I know I am faster.

Possible Changes:
Lead, so Entry Hazards don't aatter (I didn't like this, but if you can give me a valid reason, I might try again)

Luck Sweeper - Drapion @ Scope Lens
Sniper
252 Attack 252 Speed 4 Sp Def
Jolly
-Night Slash
-Cross Poison
-Earthquake
-Pursuit

My Critical Hit sweeper. Night Slash and Cross Poison with A +2 Critical Hit stage boost + Sniper results in Rage Quits :D. But seriously, it works great, and pursuit hits fleeing Pokemon, although I'm having trouble predicting that, so any tips would help. My only problem is that its a lot like Absol.

Possible Changes:
Keep only Drapion/drop Drapion

Mixed Sweeper - Sceptile @ Life Orb
Overgrow
252 Attack 200 Speed 56 Sp Attack
-Rock Slide
-X-Scissor
-Leaf Storm
-Brick Break

This is not expected by most, and hence shuts most down. I open with a Leaf Storm, then attack with whatever fits best. I don't usually get to use overgrow, but this set works well nonetheless.

Possible Changes:
All physical (Leaf Blade)
Add Earthquake instead of X-Scissor
Different EV Spread

That's All, Please Add Some Constructive Criticism.
 
It Gets Really Annoying When The First Letter Of Every Word Is Capitalized Like This. You might want to fix that for readibility's sake...

And if this is a UU team, don't mention OU pokemon like Heatran and Ninjask. If that happens in UU, then there's something wrong...

I'd definitely go leaf blade instead of leaf storm and just take out the SpA evs on Sceptile for Speed and HP.

I'd try a specs arcanine and get rid of extremespeed, even though that is an extremely good move, it doesn't seem to fit what you are going for on it.
 
Your team will get walled heavily by stall teams, mainly do to the fact that 5 out of your 6 Pokemon are physical sweepers. With the exception being Arcanine, who won't do as well as many other Special attackers.

This can easily be fixed by making Sceptile the LO Special set. Such as...
Sceptile @ Life Orb | Overgrow
Hasty | 28Atk/252SpA/228Spe
Leafstorm/Focus Blast/Hp Ice/Earthquake

I think that in place of Arcanine, you should run a Blaziken. Blaziken will help your team severely vs stall teams as he is an excellent Wall Breaker. Now, you have some choices. I would say either a Scarfed Mixed attacker or a LO Mixed attacker with Vacuum wave will fit here. I will post both the sets and you can decide which fits better.

Blaziken @ Choice Scarf | Blaze
Rash | 84 Atk/184SpA/236 Spe
Fire Blast/Super Power/Hp Ice/Thunder Punch

Blaziken @ Life Orb | Blaze
Rash | 4Atk/252SpA/252 Spe
Fire Blast/Super Power/Hp Grass/Vacuum

Both of these sets provide your team with a revenge killer that can also break stall. Just a note, the Choice Scarf set can outrun positive natured 125 base speed Pokemon, such as Swellow.


On Scyther, use protect to stop Fake out users, such as Ambipom, from rendering your sash useless.

Hope I helped :)
 
Yes,I agree that arcanine should be switched to a more reliable special sweeper such as Blaziken. Also, you are missing a key part of the FGW core and that's the W, water. I'd change either Drapion or Absol for a Milotic. This also gives you another special oriented pokemon. Hope this helps.
