First RMT How am i doing?

Eddd

Hi, this is my first RMT i've done and i am inexperienced at this game but love playing and watching it. I chose UU because in my opinion it has the coolest pokemon without the frustrating ones, and i can use some lower tiers that i like quite well also.

Nimbus (Tornadus) (M) @ Flying Gem
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 ATK / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Bulk Up
- Acrobatics
- Superpower
- Taunt Substitute

Sub over taunt is useful as a lot of the time people switch on seeing this guy, however i don't get much chance to use bulk up and the damage he does is sadly limited. Wish i could use rain efficiently, i should try again sometime. I like to keep the speed, although i have trick room on this team i don't plan on using it 24/7 so its nice being able to use Tornadous to keep up.

Azumarill @ Choice Band
Trait: Huge Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Spd / 4 SDef / 4 Def / 244 HP
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Aqua Jet
- Return
- Ice Punch

This little thing has been so fun to use the pure POWER, priority is something really scary which forces some switches, which then waterfall or a nicely timed return really hurts almost everything. When i played vs this it always hit more than i expected and its lived up to my expectations so far.

Snorlax @ Leftovers
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 176 SDef / 80 HP / 252 Atk
Adamant Nature
- Body Slam
- Earthquake
- Pursuit
- Fire Punch

Sometimes i think about using rest on this for some recovery but i really don't trust randomness of sleep talk. Fire punch isnt usually expected and has netted a few surprise kills. I also like have a pursuit trapper for extra coverage and another surprise. Ive thought about using choice band for the extra power, but being able to switch moves is something that i feel really helps this snorlax. I also wanted to try expert belt because the things im using the attacks on (persuit, firepunch) are usually weak to that and the extra damage cant hurt (can it?), however i feel even the small restoration of leftovers helps

Cofagrigus @ Leftovers
Trait: Mummy
EVs: 8 SDef / 248 HP / 252 Def
Quiet Nature
IVs: 2 Spd / 2 HP / 30 Def / 30 SAtk / 30 SDef
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Nasty Plot
- Trick Room

I wanted to have some sort of spin blocker and also needed a special attacker i saw this box which reminded me of how annoying trick room is, some times i have chance to use it which kind of works with this team as some members are slower than the average UU pokes.

Roserade @ Black Sludge
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Spd / 240 SDef
Calm Nature
- Toxic Spikes
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Rest

I wanted to be able to have some sort of spiker an roserade stood out because i could use toxic spikes to spread status around as non of my team carry 100% status. Giga drain helps alot against bulky water types and grounds, and sludge bomb can take out other grass. However there are lots of poison types around that ruin my little plan :( which makes me wonder how switching it to normal spikes would work.Nidoqueen/king is in every team so spikes are working better atm. I tried synthesis but in most cases i liked rest being able to heal back up to full.

Nidoqueen (F) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 Spd
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam
- Roar

Nidoqueen is here because it can do everything Nidoking can, but with slightly more bulk. I wanted to be able to set up more hazards and at times possibly switch the play around with roar, especially past subs.

I find that i have alot of problems with Umbreon and also getting burned, and ice is a huge threat to my team. This has been my most successful team so far and im trying to learn to make better teams. If you have any suggestions please post.
 
Hey nice team, got some good looking stuff on it. Tornadus has a good set, definitely has good potential to sweep. I think that Taunt should be replaced by Substitute however. Substitute will block statuses and also greatly aid Tornadus in its sweeping.

And I don't think you really have a weakness to ice. Snorlax can take Blizzards/Ice Beams very well, and then threaten to KO with Fire Punch.

I think in general, Roserade should have Synthesis over Rest. Once you use Rest you're basically giving your opponent a free turn, since you'll have to switch out to cure your self. This can be extremely detrimental, and can completely turn the tide of a game.
 
nice team, you are talented at team building! Why would you have 252 spd on tornadus you have trick room on confagrigus? hint, try some eviolite users.
 
Awesome team! Anyways, yeah that Tornadus speed evs seem to be counter-productive. You have Prankster for Bulk up and Taunt anyways. Probably put the rest into attack to boost up the acrobatics and superpower?
 
I don't think hes trying to make a Trick Room team, if he is he needs to have atleast one more Trick Room user (Slowbro is a good one). If you indeed aren't meaning to make it a Trick Room team then give Tornadus as much speed as possible, it'll need it to sweep.

The HP EVs probably don't make too much of a difference however, Tornadus has pretty bad defense in the first place. I'm not positive that they don't help, if they do then keep them. If they dont put those EVs into Atk.
 
Yeah trick room isn't a main priority but i use it as a back up plan sometimes, especially if the opponent is running a lot of the faster pokes. Im gonna try sub on tornadus and put the evs into attack, it doesnt really survive anything with them in hp anyway. Synthesis is also a good shout, but i dont understand what type of evolite users your suggesting, just walls?
 
Hi there. This is a cool team, that covers a large majority of the metagame so nice job.

The only change I can think of is using a different spread on Nidoqueen. Nidoqueen has the ability to check electric's and fighting's without too much added bulk, and queen is much better when using a more offensive set. The extra defence is unnecessary since Cofagrigus is going to be taking the majority of fighting types on. IMO the best set is 100 HP / 252 SpA / 156 Spe. This allows you to outspeed Xatu iirc and 2HKO with ice beam, as well as allowing you to outspeed and 1HKO defensive arcanine, most togekiss and defensive roserade.

Here is the queen set:
Nidoqueen (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 100 HP / 252 SAtk / 156 Spd
Modest Nature
- Earth Power
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam
- Fire Blast
GL and I hope I helped.
