XY UU First RMT

Hello UU players of smogon. I'm new to this tier and was wondering if my team can be made better by you guys. :]

Mienshao @ Life Orb
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- High Jump Kick
- U-turn
- Fake Out
- Poison Jab

I decided to make my team around mienshao because it is very powerful and annoying, faking out and u-turning keeping my offensive momentum. Hi jump kick is a powerful stab move and is the most reliable move to sweep the opponents team. Poison Jab takes care of fairies such as florges and aromatisse.

Aggron @ Aggronite
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Heavy Slam

I chose aggron just for the fact that its defensive stat is CRAZY high and that if resists mienshao's flying, psychic, and fairy weaknesses. Stealth rocks are there for mienshao to sweep more easily. The last three moves are powerful and are for coverage.

Florges (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flower Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Aromatherapy
- Wish
- Protect
- Moonblast

Florges was my choice simply because it has wish(and that aggron has no recovery moves). Aromatherapy is for curing any burns on the two mentioned above. Moonblast is for STAB and coverage i guess :P

Flygon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Aerial Ace
- U-turn

Flygon takes care of the biggest threats in UU such as Darmanitan, Heracross, and Hydreigon. Outrage is STAB and takes care of hydreigon and haxorus. Aerial Ace has a 50% chance to OHKO heracross at full, and with the help of aggron's stealth rocks, it OHKOs 100%. U-turn for offensive momentum.

Starmie @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt

I was thinking about using Mega Blastoise as my spinner, but i have aggron, so this is the next best choice. Hydro Pump is STAB and EXTREMELY powerful, so it will OHKO or 2HKO most pokemon. Ice Beam and Thunderbolt are simply for coverage.

Crobat @ Black Sludge
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Super Fang
- U-turn
- Haze
- Roost

Crobat, one of my favorite pokemon as a child, and my fly-er in Soulsilver. I gave it max HP for the bulk and because i have super fang. Haze stops set-ups from suicune and haxorus. Roost to recover and/or predict the opponent's electric, ice, or rock move. U-turn for offensive momentum (again).

Thanks for reading this thread. Please feel free to give your opinions and advice on how to make this team better. I'm new to smogon and i don't know how to give the paste data, sorry. :[

I'd honestly just run the scarf set. Allows you to outspeed scarf Darmanitan, which is common as hell, and pretty much any other scarfer. Also, I wouldn't bother with Fake Out or Poison Jab, run Knock Off and Aerial Ace (imo, good for scarf Heracross). You're not going to want to keep Mienshao in on a potential moonblast anyway.

Aggron @ Aggronite
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Heavy Slam

Pretty standard, no real comment

Florges (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flower Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Aromatherapy
- Wish
- Protect
- Moonblast

It seems you're pairing this with Aggron for a defensive core to switch in to most anything, why not just use Blissey? Moonblast is nice but Blissey has a usable ability and there's almost nothing in the tier on the special side that can give it an issue, except I guess sub CM chandelure

Flygon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Aerial Ace
- U-turn

Standard late game sweeper, see it everywhere these days and it's rather good

Starmie @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt

Decent set, I don't like using Starmie for spinning because of the prediction it requires after the first time you get it off or if the opponent is savvy, but I see your point if you want to use aggron

Crobat @ Black Sludge
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Super Fang
- U-turn
- Haze
- Roost

Super fang is only ever going to come in handy when you face Mega aggron I guess, anything else wont be scared by this Crobat at all. Run the standard set, it's really good in the tier

Comments in bold above, main reason I don't like using Starmie as a spinner is when you run into Galvantulas, you can't switch in and spin on a sash Galvantula without dying
 
you need at least three lines of description for each pokemon in order to explain the choices in the pokemon and sets according to the rmt rules

please expand your descriptions a little bit more; you can further explain why you chose those certain pokemon and how one pokemon works with the rest of your team. i'm leaving this open for you to edit, but do it soon
