my new uu team

First of all guys since i have tested the ou metagame and got a bit tired of it i thought i could use an UU team just to see how it can be used in the new gen more bulky metagame!I have won around 20 battles with proper opponents in wifi with this team so i would like extra opinions about any flaws!

Absol
Item:Absolite
Ability:Justfied/Magic Bounce
Nature:Adamant
Evs:252 atk/252 spe/4 sp.atk
Moveset:Swords dance
Fire Blast
Sucker Punch
Play Rough

Well im using Absol as my mega.Usually im trying to setup early with him and get 1-2 KOs!I need him cause im not using any spinners-defoggers and if i dont manage to setup and get easy kills with him i just save him for magic bounce and for revenge killing with sucker punch!Fire Blast is here to abuse Absol's pretty nice Sp.atk and hit grass walls like tangrowth!

Diggersby
Item:Choice scarf
Ability:Huge Power
Nature:Jolly
Evs:252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Hp
Moveset:Return
Earthquake
Wild charge
Quick Attack

Pretty standard diggersby.Switch in safely and proceed to killing or heavily denting the opponent's switch.Quick attack is here just in case its needed but i dont find much use of it anyway except when im fighting against other priority users.Thankfully diggersby gives my team an electric immunity soi tend to throw him in and out all the time.

Nidoqueen
Item:Life orb
Ability:Sheer force
Nature:Modest
Evs:100 HP/252 SpA/156 Spe
Moveset:Fire blast
Earth Power
Sludge Wave
Toxic Spikes

Nidoqueen is my usual lead cause i based this team around it's toxic spikes!I know that toxic spikes isnt that viable with defog ruining this move but i always liked it and nidoqueen is a very good abuser of it cause of its great coverage.I can setup my spikes while keeping the opponent at bay cause of nidoqueen's versatility.Also at start i thought about using nidoking with the same set cause he is more offensive but i prefer nidoqueen as a toxic spiker cause she can take a hit and also hit back.

Cofagrigus
Item:Leftovers
Ability:Mummy
Nature:Bold
Evs:248 Hp/252 Def/8 SpD
Moveset:Will-O-Wisp
Hex
Disable
Energy Ball

I needed a pure tank to keep strong physical threats at bay and a pokemon that can abuse toxic spikes and will-o-wisp in case the spikes failed.Cofagrigus is that pokemon.He has amazing bulk and good Sp.Atk and can hit like a truck unprepared pokemon.Energy ball is here for coverage and i personally love hex so i didnt pick shadow ball.After all with hex i can abuse toxic spikes and nuke weaker pokemon.

Machamp
Item:Assault Vest
Ability:No Guard
Nature:Adamant
Evs:252 Hp/252 Atk/4 SpD
Moveset:Dynamicpunch
Knock off
Thunderpunch
Ice Punch

Machamp is amazing.He deals gigantic damage with dynamicpunch and no guard.Also knock off is now buffed so its great to hit ghosts and psychics hard.I mainly ruin chandelure with this set cause machamp can take even a supereffective special atk cause of assault vest and hit back with knock off!The elemental punches are here for coverage and to hit hard switch ins that wont expect them.

Empoleon
Item:Petaya Berry
Ability:Torrent
Nature:Modest
Evs:252 SpA/4 SpD/252 Spe (+30 HP ivs)
Moveset:substitute
agility
surf
ice beam

Empoleon is the last member of my team.I love the subpetaya set cause its very annoying.Empoleon has many resistances and can easily set up substitute and agility.I picked him cause of his resistances and because i needed something that could stall out certain things so they could die from toxic spikes.


Well this is my team guys!I would appreciate your opinions about any flaws u find!This team is working pretty well for me and though i would change some things i would like to keep it orientated around toxic spikes and nidoqueen!
 
This is a cool team but i have a few pointers...
1. You dont want to run adamant on absol if youre running fire blast. I believe it is a lonely nature that you want to use (+atk, -sp def).
2. I know that you like t spikes on queen, but a coverage move or stealth rock would be better.
3. Instead of disable why dont you run pain split on cof? His low hp would do big dmg. Actually you can consider t spikes on cof in place of energy ball. A hazard laying spin blocking ghost is very threatening.
4.for diggersby youre okay with the scarf but you would do better with adamant nature. With a jolly nature you arent outpacing much and you still lose to scarf timid chandy and jolly hera which can both ohko diggersby. You might as well run max attack at that point. Also you may want to fit u turn on that set for great pivoting action. You can probaby replace wikd charge imo.
5. Can you please show calcs as to how av helps champ? I know he usually attacks, but i think hebwould be better off with sub and lefties or lum berry for status.
6, if bisharp wasnt everywhere then empoleons set would be good in this meta. Unfortunately the buff to dark and knock off and bisharps sucker punch makes this set difficult in the current meta. Personally i thinkbthat you would be better off with a different poke like dd haxorus, wallbreaker hydreigon, etc... hydreigon and cof and very cool synergy btw..

Tnx about your recommendations!Yeah ik that absol is better with lonely nature but when i bred him i didnt think about using fire blast anyways!Though it still kos tangrowth which i find extremely annoying!I guess u are right about pain split but i have found disable very useful on many situations so i think its entirely up to personal preferences( though cofagrigus cant heal himself ik :/)!About u-turn diggersby yeah im gonna use it!He doesnt need wcharge so much anyway and yeah adamant is better.I have also a mild hydreigon that i could use instead of empoleon which could be fun!As for machamp, chandelure's fire blast (timid nature) does 38.5-45.5% so its a 3HKO!Generally i think that with AV he can take out some things that would otherwise destroy me.Oh and he counters bisharp as well.Now as for t spikes on queen im just using them cause its one of my favorite sets and that's why i want to keep it.I could also use t spikes on cof though but i find it a bit much.I have also consider haze for him instead of energy ball cause if i dont manage to fight vs, well, bisharp with champ i will have a lot of problems cause of his SD!
