My first UU team

[Vincents.Zydane]

Hey, go easy on me. I'm gonna try.

Sharpedo@Choice Band
Jolly Nature
252 ATK, 252 Speed, 6 HP
- Aqua Jet
- Crunch
- Ice Fang
- Earthquake

I figure this is a pretty good lead. CBShark hurts a lot of leads, and does good damage to Swellow with Aqua Jet.

Hitmontop@Leftovers
Adamant Nature
252 HP, 252 ATK, 6 Sp.D
- Bulk Up
- Mach Punch
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge

Bulk up and sweep with mach punch. Pursuit for ghosts, stone edge for flyers.

Ninetails@Lum Berry
Timid Nature
252 Sp.Atk, 252 Speed, 6 HP
- Hypnosis
- Nasty Plot
- Flamethrower
- Dark Pulse

Puts things to sleep then sweeps with NP and Flamethrower.

Froslass@Petaya Berry
Timid Nature
252 Sp.Atk, 252 Speed, 6 HP
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Substitute

For Hypnos with only Seismic Toss, this can scare. Sub while they try to T.Wave me, then plug and play from there. After Petaya boost Froslass does heavy damage in UU.

Sandslash@Leftovers
Impish Nature
244 HP, 52 Atk, 212 Def
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

I need this thing for the spin and SR. threw in some attack EVs for more EQ effectiveness.

Clefable@Leftovers
Calm Nature
212 HP, 44 Def, 252 Sp.Def
- Thunder Wave
- Softboiled
- Reflect
- Seismic Toss

I dislike Hypno so I'm going to use Clefable who is a pretty nice wall as well, absorbs burn and poison thanks to Magic Guard.

Like most UU teams, Pinsir is a big threat here. Your best shot at taking care of it is Hitmontop, but with Bullet Punch > Pursuit, but putting Scarf on Sharpedo and making it Adamant would help.

Update: Nidoking went for Froslass, so I don't have a 3-guy water weakness anymore.

Yeah I know... meh... hopefully Froslass is a good enough counter now. Sandslash ought to help too, with Stone Edge.

I'm thinking of putting HP Dragon on Ninetails so I can have perfect coverage and deal with Altaria at the same time. Yes or no?

Edit: I'm going with Dark Pulse, actually. I can hit Grumpig and Hypno better that way.

Hidden Power Ice will still be better in general IMO.

Anyhoo, what I dislike is that most starters are probably going to own Sharpedo, which includes all the electrics, and Scarf Fighters, as well as Swellow and Dodrio who outspeed and probably OHKO's. I personally think you're better off starting with Froslass, so you can guarantee that fighters won't use Close Combat and go to Sandslash for obvious Stone Edge, which puts you in a better situation. The flyers would also fear if Froslass was Scarf'd or something as it's unusual for it to be a starter.

I also dislike Hitmontop here. You have plenty of sweepers here in Sharpedo, Ninetales, and Froslass with Fable and Sandslash helping out. I'd just simply try to add a revenge killer in the last spot. Since the rest of the team is strong against Aggron, I wouldn't mind seeing like a Scarf Dodrio or some shit here.
