My first UU team

[Viitrexx]

Ohai,

I'd like some help with balancing out my team, this is as far as I have gotten.
I focussed on a lot on healing myself.

Rhyperior @ Leftovers
Trait: Solid Rock
EVs: 248 HP / 16 Atk / 244 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Dragon Tail

Why? Best lead I could find for UU, bringing Ground/Rock moves is always good. Stone Edge lets me deal with Yanmegas, Togekisses and Darmanitans.

Azumarill @ Choice Band
Trait: Huge Power
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Aqua Jet
- Return
- Ice Punch

Why? Does insane Physical Damage. STAB Waterfall has done so much for me. This deals with Victinis and allows me to kill Dusclopses without a problem.

Snorlax @ Leftovers
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 208 HP / 124 Def / 176 Spd
Careful Nature
- Return --> Body Slam
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Whirlwind

Why? This sweeps, heals AND is bulky. I had no reason to not use it. I have others to deal with Ghost and Fighting types. 30% Paralysis Chance is indeed worth it for some Power.

Claydol @ Leftovers -------------->

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate ---------------------------> Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd ------------> EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 Spd
Sassy Nature ----------------------------> Calm Nature
- Rapid Spin ----------------------------> - Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock --------------------------> - Air Slash
- Earthquake ---------------------------> - Aura Sphere
- Toxic ---------------------------------> - Roost

Why? I chose Claydol as a Rapid Spinner, I basically almost copied the Blissey from my OU team. I love Toxic.
Why? I replaced Claydol for Togekiss as he was dying too much, and it was suggested I didn't need a Rapid Spinner. After some trying the standard ParaFlinch seems to work best.

Roserade @ Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Sludge Bomb
- Sleep Powder
- Synthesis

Why? I needed some Grass attacks on my teams, I missed a sleep, and my team is focussed on healing. So this fit perfectly.

Zapdos @ Shell Bell --> Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Roost
- Hidden Power [Ice] --> Hidden Power [Grass]
- Heat Wave

Why? I use this in my OU team too, high SAtk with Thunderbolt is just amazing. Very versatile. Deals with everything the rest can't. Wins sustainbattles.

Problems I noticed:
=Giga Drain
=When Cinccinos get lucky with flinches (Should be solved with Togekiss)

Nice team overall, here are some things I think will help make it better:

1. Zapdos: Shell Bell is never a good idea, Leftovers give much more consistent recovery. I would go with a Life Orb however, as Zapdos could really use the added power. It has Roost to heal itself anyway. I would also replace HP Ice with HP Grass, as it helps Zapdos beat its 2 most common counters: Rhyperior and Swampert.

2. Snorlax: Everything looks good for Snorlax except I would change Return to Body Slam. The change in BP won't be that big of a deal since you have no Atk investment, and the 30% chance to paralyze is very useful.

3. Roserade: I think your team would benefit more from a defensive Roserade as opposed to an offensive one. In my opinion Roserade isn't that great offensively, but is a great special wall.

4. Claydol: In my opinion you don't really need a Rapid Spinner, you only have one weakness to Stealth Rocks, Roserade absorbs Toxic Spikes, and Spikes are usually not that common. I think you would benefit more by replacing it with a choice scarf user. Overall your team is pretty slow, so this would remedy that problem.


And for future reference, you have to have atleast 3 lines of description for each pokemon. If a mod sees your thread like it is they'll probably lock it.

How would a defensive Roserade look like? I actually like the OHKOing with Sludge Bomb and Leafstorm :P

Shameless bump!
