Persian (M) @ Silk Scarf
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fake Out
- U-turn
- Hypnosis
- Bite
An annoying lead and revenge killer. I almost always use Fake Out, then Hypnosis. Switch in after most kills on my team and get a free fake out and u-turn, unless I suspect a choice scarf.

Steelix (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spe)
- Gyro Ball
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
- Explosion
Sets up stealth rocks for the team and then explodes. Earthquake and Rock Slide are pretty much filler, unless I am facing a Swellow (who troubles my team)

Clefable (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP/152 Def/104 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Calm Mind
- Softboiled
- Thunderbolt
The special wall of sorts for the team, and primary counter to Gastrodon/Quagsire, as only Ninetales can kill effectively counter them, but cant switch in.

Claydol @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/144 Def/114 SAtk
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Earth Power
- Toxic
- Rapid Spin
- Shadow Ball
Rapid Spinner for the team. I use Shadow Ball over Psychic because otherwise Rotom switches in and harasses Claydol. Toxic also is handy for hurting those pokemon that my team has trouble against (Primeape, Ampharos, Hitmontop, Hitmonlee, Poliwrath, and Hitmonchan]

Drapion (M) @ Scope Lens
Ability: Sniper
EVs: 40 HP/252 Atk/216 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang
- Night Slash
- Swords Dance
Easily one of the best physical sweepers in UU. With this speed and moves, the only pokemon that can wall this in UU is Steelix, and he even takes a risk. I use Fire Fang now, but I am not sure if I should switch to Ice Fang, as Venasaur, Altaria and Meganium are all covered pretty well by the rest of the team. Then again, Fire Fang doesnt help much, but not sure what to do with the rest of the move set.

Ninetales (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Dark Pulse
- Energy Ball
- Flamethrower
- Nasty Plot
The final sweeper for the team. After a Nasty Plot (or two if I am lucky), this can sweep entire teams. Dark Pulse hits ghosts, but Extrasensory gives me an alternate approach to fighting Fighting types.

Problem Pokemon-
Fighting pokemon in general. I tend to lose quickly to anything with a strong fighting move and Stone Edge.
The worst two pokemon to face off against are Subpunching Poliwrath with Hypnosis and Primape, as I really dont have a way to fight these pokemon.
Been testing different Steelix
