Heavy-Offence UU

Meepsterplex

I play on pokemon online Battle simulator, so there is no clear lead, as i can switch lead to counter my opponent before the match. Also, i use P.O tiers, so there may be a few discrepancies. Anyway, here we go. I have been working on my team for a few days and realized it needed a LOT of changes. This is my "new" team, with the same "skeleton" but new pokemon to fit each part.Ive made even MORE changes . Heres how the team (should) work. Heres how the team should work after current edits. AESOFT

Heracross (M) @ Choice Band Trait: Guts
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Stone Edge
- Megahorn
- Night Slash
- Close Combat


Typical Choice Bander. This set SHOULD be able to take down most of the pokemon that wall my team, such as Cressy, and sweep everything else with close combat. Fairly standard.


Mamoswine (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Oblivious
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk/ 252 Spe

Hardy Nature
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash

This guy will be my revenge killer. I tested it out, and yea, an ice shard will ohko most flygon sets after mild damage. flygon was one of the biggest team threats, and i think i have eliminated the issue almost completely (thanks dragan :D) i was hesitant to use scarfswine, but it seems to be doing great!


Alakazam (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 8 HP / 248 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Psychic
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball


Alakazam's speed and special attack are massive, and the life orb allows it to ohko a lot of offensive pokemon, especially with its varied movepool. The only real fear it has is houndoom, who is taken care of by other teamates fairly easily.


Darmanitan (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Flare Blitz
- Superpower
- Earthquake
- U-turn


This scarfer is fairly standard. Flare Blitz for a STAB-sweep, super power for predicted houndoom or rock type switches, U-turn for predicted unknown switches, and EQ to for coverage.

Uxie @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SDef
Hardy Nature
- Yawn
- Stealth Rock
- U-turn
- Toxic

If i ever loved a lead, it was this one. Forcing a switch with yawn, setting up SR, and u-turning into a counter. Also able to come back later to cripple walls with toxic, or force a stat-booster into a switch. Great bulk and leftovers allows her to shrug off even super-effective hits. A good SR lead, wall crippler, and disrupter/phazer all in one.


(Bronzong) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate
EVs: 64 HP / 248 Atk / 96 Def / 100 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Gyro Ball
- Zen Headbutt
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock

This guy is because i needed a bulky sweeper. He does suprusing amounts of damage, and people ALWAYS suspect a wall, so make bad moves, not anticipating an attack.


Thanks for rating my team. All critizisms and suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks to captain Shen and Captain Dragan for their help!
 
Easy to choose a pokemon over Rampardos, trust me. If you know the tier, you should know already. I think Mamoswine and Rhyperior both fit in well in the role of replacing Rampardos. Go for Mamoswine, the Scarfswine set is great in my opinion.

Also, last time I checked, Virizion and Metagross were in OU. This might have changed as I never play OU and didn't see them in UU, but just saying... Also, if this is the case, I'm afraid i can't rate this team, as you don't have the right members. I can suggest UU replacements for those two though.

Virizion: A fighting type like Heracross or Gallade.
Metagross: I don't think something like this is needed in your team after Mamo and Virireplacement are in it. So i suggest a good strong poke like Darmanitan, Victini or... anything, really.

Alright, I just read you play in another server, but I keep being of the opinion to stick to Smogons tiers (:

Cap'n to your services,
'' .
 
I would suggest using cosmic power sigilyph over cresselia, as he is a much better bulky set up semi sweeper IMO, and he is able to psycho shift burns/toxics to deal with dark types to an extent, as well as having stored power. If you really want you can even run calm mind over cosmic power.

Brick break on metagross doesn't seem to be hitting any particular mon, giving slightly redundant coverage with the other two moves (steels are handled by eq, rocks are handled by both meteor mans and eq, and darks shouldn't serve too much of a problem to metagross, with the only one who is truly threatening to him being houndoom who is handled by eq, and sableye,who is immune to it anyway.)

now, as I said, sableye threatens metagross with his priority will o wisps, and nothing on your team wants to be taking them except for cress, who is completely walled and stalled out by sableye. Because of this, I recommend you change leftovers to a lum berry on him, as well as replacing brick break with a coverage move of your choice(good options would be thunder punch or icepunch,or zen headbutt for a secondary STAB).
Also, you should change his ev spread, replacing his hp Evs with speed, as he seems to be your late game cleaner, so he doesn't not require bulkiness. he does not want to be outspend by base 130s (I.e. Jolteon and aerodyctal). Aerodyctal especially can hit him with a reasonably strong earthquake. If you just want to beat them, then 88 speed with an adamant nature is required( btw you should definitely change both cress and his natures). If you want to outspeed scarf rotom-h (or indeed any other rotom) , then he should have 196 speed Evs with an adamant nature, and to outspeed scarf flygon, he should have the same but with a jolly nature ( and preferabbly ice punch.)

also, I know it was a joke, but how did you calculate how much Virizion can ko in uu, he is actually very weak :3, and I would take the captain dragan's suggestion and replace him with either gallate or heracross . Rampardos should definitely be replaced, as he is too slow to be a scarfed revenger, and sucks in general :3 I would recommend one of the following (all scarfed of course):
Flygon
Darmanitan
Victini
Rotom-h

Alternatively, you could scarf your raikou as he can scout with volt switch, and is not SR weak. ThIs would then leave a slot for you to replace Rampardos with.

A banded Mamoswine could be a good fit, as you lack an immediate powerhouse, or LO rose rade, who can provide free set up oppurtunities for metagross/sigilyph(assuming you Change him), set up spikes if you want to put Pokemon Into easier ko range for your attackers (metagross especially appreciates this), and also do heavy damage with leaf storm and sludge bomb/HP fire.


EDIT: also i would suggest running nasty plot over shadow ball on zoroark as dark and ghost have practically the same coverage, and with your ability to bring in the wrong Pokemon to counter whoever you are hidden as you will find ample time to set up. Also i suggest running focus blast over hidden power ice on him, as the only Pokemon it hits really hard in uu is flygon, who is not as common as one would think, and focus blast and night daze provide near perfect coverage.

In summary:
Replace cresselia with sigilyph
Replace brick break with something else ( preferabbly thu der punch)
Change metagross' EV spread
Give gross a lum berrry.
Possibly replace Virizion with ballads or heracross, or give it SD over x scissor
Replace Rampardos, and possibly add LO rose rade in if you scarf raikou.
GL!
 
Ok, so meepsterplex requested me to check this team again... Alright, so you sent me your team consists now of the following pokes:

-ScarfChamp
-Darmanitan
-Cresselia
-Zoroark

Dat be all, amirite me breda?
Well, as you lack two members, and you said you didn't know what to fit in, I suggest the following actions:
-After second thoughts, I would definitely go for Heracross on this team. Replace Machamp with Heracross. Make him Banded, not scarfed, I have another scarfer in mind.
-I would definitely keep Raikou on the team. It's a cool dude with a lot of potential.
-Last but not least at all, I still think Mamoswine is a great asset to the team. Scarfswine must, of course, be used in a certain manner to be successful, but I always loved him in the revenging role.

Sets:

Heracross@Choice Band
Guts, Adamant/Jolly, 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
-Megahorn
-Close Combat
-Stone Edge
-Night Slash/Pursuit

First two moves are Heracross' unique, awesome STABs. Stone Edge should kill off the birds threatening you, and Night Slash/Pursuit is foi Ghosts, I suppose. You could also just put EQ there.

Mamoswine@Choice Scarf
Adamant, 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
-Earthquake
-Icicle Crash
-Stone Edge
-Ice Shard

The Holy Set. Choiceswine is one of the best things I've ever seen in UU. EQ and Icicle Crash are awesome STABmoves, hitting very hard and fast thanks to the Scarf. Stone Edge is there for coverage, and Ice Shard may seem dumb and unnecessary, but it's useful to kill off a ScarfFlygon at low health or something...

That's it for now. Cap'n to your service,
Cap'n.

EDIT: post Nr. 100 for the win!
 
Victini = GG.

You changes dompham for rampardos.

Domphan @ Leftovers
Sturdy
252 HP, 200 Def, 58 Attk
Adamant.
Earthquake
Ice Shard
Stealth Rock
Rapid Spin
 
Ok, so I see two Hardy Natures which must be both Adamant, lol. Also, I'm still of the opinion Metagross should not be on the team. Your team has 4 physical attackers, so that obviously means you're lacking power from the other side of the spectrum. So I suggest changing Metagross to something like Alakazam, Roserade or even Nidoking, as he has great coverage moves. It's all up to you, the team seems to be doing great and I'm happy my rating helped.

Cap'n to your service...
 
The team seems to be great, and im not making any misplays, my predictions are almost always right, and yet i still keep losing. I feel like my team is missing somthing, but i cant tell what. any ideas?
 
Alrighty, for one, Bronzong is OU, so you may want to change that. Moving on, Mamoswine should be Adamant/Jolly, and Snow Cloak>Oblivious 100% of the time. As for Alakazam, both Energy Ball and Hp Ice offer nothing more than a greater inability to beat Steel types, making him even more Escavalier bait than he is normally. Thus, I would recommend running Focus Blast and Substitute/CM in it's stead. Also, Magic Guard>Inner Focus. Uxie's EVs seem far from optimal, I would suggest that you should simply run 252 Hp/252 Def/6 SDef Impish, trying to split his defensive prowess only leads to them both becoming rather subpar, and as mentioned before, Hardy serves no real purpose. As a whole, I could see a few issues here. For one, though you state Houndoom isn't a problem, I can see it providing enormous issues for your team, as nobody on your team can truly switch into a standard Mixdoom safely. Perhaps Intimidate Arcanine could be used to alleviate this to some degree? This would also sharply reduce issues v. Hail Stall/Midrange teams if played properly, though it would also nerf his Morning Sun in the process, in addition to greatly reducing your enormous Scarftini issue. Something simple would do, along the lines of:
Arcanine (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 144 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Flare Blitz
- Toxic / Wild Charge
- ExtremeSpeed
- Morning Sun
The EVs guarantee that you won't get 2HKOed from a CB Victini's V-Create, even after SR. You can use Wild Charge if you really want to hit bulky Waters right away, but usually Toxic cripples them more than Wild Charge does anyway. ESpeed is just an awesome priority to pick of weakened foes. And before the questions arises, no, Flash Fire isn't better, as you lose the ability to check every other physical threat you may have had the ability to before.

Moreover, I would recommend replacing Uxie with Claydol, as I feel that the ability to spin hazards is a tad more valuable to you than the switch advantage at this point. Just the standard physically defensive set would probably do:
Claydol @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
Yeah, technically Earth Power w/Bold is an option, but EQ is much more valuable for hitting CM Raikou and most Registeels harder.

Anywho, gl, hope I was of assistance.
