I Abuse Smeargles new UU / NU Team! :)

I Abuse Smeargles

Hello! :) This is my new UU/NU team that I threw together a bit ago.

Please understand, I am not interested in using staple pokemon. ( AKA Crobat / Electrode ) I can't freaking stand being just another team that runs the most common pokemon. Remember when Garchomp was in OU? Yeah.. You get my point. I am just playing for fun, not to try and be the best of the best! :)

My team consists of some pretty Unique pokemon, but I love each and everyone of them! And they are:

Uzie- Leads the team :)
Relaxed Nature
Item: Light Clay
Moveset-
Reflect
Light Screen
Stealth Rock
Yawn

This Uzie sets up Light Screen, and Reflect AND Stealth rock, and gets to make use of the Stealth Rocks by Yawn! ( Which often causes switches ) If they don't switch, I can then switch to Vespiquen to setup :)

Vespiquen- The Staller
Bold Nature
Item: Leftovers
Moveset-
Defend Order
Toxic
Hidden Power ( Fire )
Heal Order

This Vespiquen is literally.. IMPOSSIBLE to take down when she has 6 stacks of Defend Order up. I actually use her in OU on occasion, as she makes a sick Scizor wall, and then can 1, or 2 shot with HP Fire! She is also an AMAZING PP killer. As Pressure burns down things I can come in on. ( Other walls for instance ) And force them to switch if they think they can take me out. Which DOESN'T Happen. (She takes out Calm Mind Bronzongs for instance. )

Butterfree- The Annoyer / Helper / Occasional Lead
Timid Nature
Item: Focus Sash
Moveset-
U-turn
Tailwind
Sleep Power
Stun Spore

Butterfree is SO SO SO under-rated. But I have won a few matches just because of her! She actually makes Aerodactyl leads cry. They expect a Sleep Power, taunt, and get a U-turn in the face! Which intact, breaks the Focus Sash. On that, I can then go to Lola Bunny, and OHKO with Aqua Jet. If I bring her back out, she can Sleep Powder, then on the switch, Tailwind or Stun Spore and wreck some havoc!

Azumarill (Lola Bunny)- The Revenge Killer / Main Sweeper
Adamant Nature
Item: Expert Belt or Life Orb. Depends :)
Moveset-
Focus Punch
Aqua Jet
Aqua Ring
Substitute

This bad to the bone bunny can own so many things its not even funny! If I can force a switch, I can Substitute, and then lead in with Focus Punchs straight to the face. If I need a revenge kill ( Or a straight up Kill :P ) She simply Aqua Jets to take out the foe. Aqua Ring is in here for some recovery when I run Life Orb. But I think I need to change it.

Torkoal- The Rapid Spinner / Amazing Turtle! :D
Relaxed Nature
Item: <-- Need to pick one ( I generally would run a Berry, Sitrus, or a weakness berry
Moveset-
Explosion
Rapid Spin
Lava Plume
Curse

This is my spiffy Torkoal! He helps me bring in Butterfree, and Vespiquen by Rapid Spinning away entry hazards. He is also great at burning Physical Sweepers with Lava Plume. And if I am in a mood to make sure something dies with Explosion, I will use Curse to buff it up a bit, then go out with fireworks on this already exploding turtle!

Honchkrow ( Mr. Pimps )- The Revenge Killer
Adamant Nature
Item: Life Orb ( Or even sometimes Choice Band. Depends! )
Ability: Super Luck
Moveset-
Drill Peck
Night Slash
Steel Wing
Sucker Punch

This Honchkrow is a BEAST. Max attack, and hes PURPLE! ( Not that it makes a difference. But I think its spiffy :P ) He is generally a revenge killer to anything who is F(r)ail and thinks they can smash into Torkoal. Smack them up with a Sucker Punch and they are crying. He also takes out the nasty grass and Bugs which are plentiful in UU/NU! Steel Wing takes out Ice / Rock types ( Namely Glaceon ) that he is faster then. Night Slash is for a viable STAB with a very high critical chance due to his ability, and its already high crit ratio.

Threats: I have only played this in OU, and believe it or not.. It works.. I might have problems with Medicham being able to take out both Honchkrow and Azumarill. But other then that, nothing I am very aware of. Would need some help in this department if any of you hardcore UU people can spot some threats :)

Thank you so much for reading all of this. This is actually my 2nd RMT, and I hope I followed every guideline and made it somewhat interesting for you guys to read. I also strive for originality in a team, so take that into consideration :D

Thanks once again!

With some of your comments/ poke choices/ move choices it leads me to believe you do not have a sound grasp on the UU tier... sorry if that offends you, but you need to understand as it is... this team is not that good.

This team is FAR too weak to stealth rock. Your spinner cannot beat spiritomb, or any commonly used ghost for that matter AND is weak to SR itself. This means that SR will likely be out for the entirety of the match... which means you are basically screwed. First I would suggest dropping vespiqueeen, butterfree, and probably even torkoal. Torkoal is a bad spinner as it cannot defeat the ghosts that block its rapid spin, and doesnt learn foresight its basically a wasted slot against a stall team or team with a CM missy or Crotomb...

On the other three:
Uxie is fine.

Azumarill doesnt need the auqua ring. You should either make it a sub puncher or give it a choice band. Its too slow to stay is mulitple turns so the boosted power from choice band is generally more helpful.

Honchkrows steel wing is a wasted slot as well... Run superpower, its basically a requirement.

As it is this team needs basically reworked... I cant see it performing well in any tier, and am frankly amazed you have not run into problem before writing this. I really hate to be so harsh, but I believe honesty is also important in rmt's as well. Im being honest, not mean... at least thats what Im aiming for. Try to work a bit more on your team and repost it, and I will help you then to the besy of my ability. Originality is good to a degree, but when you are using pokes that have fallen into major dissuse its generally for a reason. For you its the massive SR weakness you posses.
 
Thank you for being so honest. I want honesty ;)

Anyhow! I have used this without ANY major problems in just a run of the mill fight. Only rules being No Ubers / hacks.

I noticed my Spinner is weak to SR, but in many cases. It doesn't matter :P I actually did a fight yesterday were the opponent couldn't even set up SR because of Butterfree :P I love her to death.

I do need to actually test them in the UU bracket, instead of playing them in OU ( Which is generally what I go up against )

Also, I strive on being unique. If I surprise someone with a team NOT using Crobat.. I bet they will lose just from amazement if you get my point ;)

For Honchkrow, Superpower sounds great! I will get it the second I find out which Move Tutor its from :)

What would you recommend in place of Aqua Ring? Would Waterfall, or another type coverage be ok? ( Possibly Ice Punch if she can learn it? )

Why would I have to worry about Spiritomb? (Edit: He is a UU >< Jesus I don't know why. WTF are you people thinking! xD )

Also, which spinner would you recommend? I cannot seem to find 1 that would work well in UU. Torkoal came to mind for originality, but I don't know what would be a better choice?

I also have a trained Choice Spec Seviper, and a Wall Porygon 2. Would either of these two be of major help?

Thanks!

90 percent of matches WILL have SR I promise, its hard to stop.

hitmontop is the most reliable spinner in UU, can foresight ghosts and rapid spin.

Auzmaril should have
sub
focus punch
ice punch
waterfall

OR

with a choice band
Focus Punch/ Double Edge
Aqua Jet
Ice Punch
Waterfall

Thank you very much. I will use the 2nd set most likely ;)

Hitmontop seems fun. And he has a funky Shiny color! (Which I will like xD)

I know 90% of battles will have SR, I expect SR. But if I can prevent it, I will try to ;)

-I Abuse Smeargles. Be back soon!
 
This is relatively minor considering the rest of the problems with the team (a lot of which have already been pointed out; mainly the huge SR weakness), but. What exactly is Yawn doing on Uxie? You boasted about not using Crobat so much, but you seem to have forgotten its existence as a lead on most other people's teams. Most carry Taunt. And outspeed you. Meaning you get Taunted, can do NOTHING due to having no attacking moves, and then give them a free turn to set up. That's not good. Yawn isn't doing much for you. Stealth Rock and dual screens are acceptable if you want to keep them, but at least get rid of Yawn and replace is with Psychic so you can at least threaten Crobat when it tries to Taunt you.

I second Hitmontop as a spinner for this team, by the way, since it not only gives you a more reliable way to Rapid Spin, but it can also help you deal with Chansey and Clefable, who you currently don't really have a reliable way to get rid of.

This is all I have to say. I'd try to revamp it a lot, since it's got some major issues. Hopefully what people say here has helped. Good luck on the rest of your team making process.
