Iron Blue Intention
Introduccion: I've been plays UU tier for one month because OU I do not like much rain and sandstrom everywhere. I wanted to do a team around a bulky sweeper and finish by choosing one of my favorite sweepers of DPP OU: suicune
Team building process:
I started with this core: cobalion, suicune, and roserade. Cobalion defeats the snorlax and chansey, while roserade covers the bulky waters and grass that stop to suicune
I wanted something that could combat the powerful physical attackers of UU like snorlax, cobalion, heracross, escavalier, stouland and rhyperior, as well as immunity to Ground and stealth rock support, so I chose to gligar
Now I saw the team weak to special attackers like zapdos, alakazam and mismagius And I wanted another physical attacker to help cobalion so I decided for snorlax
Finally, it needed a revenge killer and a strong fire type so I decided for chandelure. I was thinking of darmanitan but I don't like the recoil of flare blitz also that chandelure can handle better deoxys D
Closer Look:
Suicune @ leftovers
EVs: 252 spa, 252 speed, 4 def
Nature: timid
Moveset: hydro pump, ice beam, Hidden power(electric), calm mind
My main sweeper with my favorite set, sometimes surprising things like bulky zapdos and roserade thinking that it is crocune. Hydro pump over surf for more power and hidden power electric over grass to hit empoleon which is much more common than quagsire
Roserade @ black sludge
EVs: 252 spa, 252 speed, 4 spd
nature: timid
Moveset: Leaf storm, sludge bomb, sleep powder, toxic spikes
I love this roserade, even without EVs at hp and spd takes special blows well, puts TS to ruin bulky waters and other things, has sleep power that can be lethal in middlegame and with sludge bomb makes great damage to the fire types that switch on her. Usually I lead with her
Cobalion @ life orb
EVs: 252 atk, 252 speed, 4 def
Nature: Jolly
Moveset: Sword Dance, Close Combat, Stone Edge, Iron Head
I prefer to cobalion rather than other fighters such as heracross and hitmontop because it resists snorlax´s Return, is immune to toxic chansey and resists the double stab of roserade. Iron Head is an unusual choice but defeat nidoking and golurk with SD as well as being a safe STAB attack
Gligar @ Evoilite
EVs: 252 hp, 252 def, 4 speed
Nature: Impish
Moveset: Steathl rock, roost, toxic, earthquake
Thanks to evoilite, gligar resists very well powerful blows as stouland´s return and escalavier´s megahorn, helps me with SR and toxic to poison flying pokes and waters if roserade has not an opportunity to set up TS
Snorlax @ leftovers
EVs: 80 hp, 252 atk, 176 spd
Nature: Adamant
Moveset: Return, pursuit, crunch, superpower
Offensive Snorlax, It defend my team from special attackers and do much damage. Return over body slam for more power, pursuit to trap and kill mismagius, chandelure and alakzam and superpower to hit chansey harder
Chandelure @ choice scarf
EVs: 252 spa, 252 speed, 4 hp
Nature: timid
moveset: Fire blast, Energy ball, Hidden power( fighting), shadow ball
My revenge killer, fire blast and shadow ball for two STAB, energy ball to predict switchs of rhyperior or waters and hp fight to defeat trappers like houndoom and weaville
Conclusion:
So far this has been my more successful team in BW UU, it have several of my favorite pokes, do not have rapid spinner but roserade absorbing TS is enough. It reached # 5 of the ladder, post if you have any suggestions and thanks for reading my first XD RMT
