My Newest UU Team *Feedback would be great*

[Blazeshadowthorn]

Hello Smogon community,

This is a team I've been messing around with and testing for quite some time now and I have to say I found it to work very nicely. I'm open to suggestions and any tips to improve. Basically it comprises of a lead, a physical wall, a special wall, a physical attacker, a special sweeper and a physical sweeper so let's get started.

Bronzong: Lead Pokemon

Adamant nature/ Heatproof/ Light Clay/ 252 hp/120 attack/85 defense/53 sp defense

Light screen/reflect/stealth rocks/earthquake

Ok, my reasoning behind Bronzong is I honestly like have screens up. I feel they are an underused tactic that can really help lower damage. Earthquake is there because no one ever expects a dual screens stealth rocking Bronzong to have earthquake. Since Bronzong isn't part of my defensive core I felt it would be best to have the adamant nature to boost it's attack stat. Heatproof is just there because again, no one expects it.

Umbreon: Sp defensive Pokemon

Careful nature/ Synchronize/ leftovers/ 252 hp/252 Sp defense/ 4 attack

Yawn/Foul Play/ Wish/ Protect

Umbreon, one of the best walls in the UU tier. I toyed with the idea of having Registeel as my special wall but Umbreon works so well with my defensive wall that it just didn't feel right. The set is pretty standard. The wish/protect combo that annoys everyone, the foul play for some damage and yawn to force switches.

Dusclops: Defensive Pokemon

Bold nature/Pressure/Eviolite/252 hp/252 defense/4 sp defense

Seismic Toss/Pain Split/Will-O-Wisp *Toxie*/Substitute

Dusclops, I wonder why no one ever seems to use you. I found from personal experience that the Dusclops/Umbreon wall combo is perhaps the best in UU. Not only does Dusclops have an amazing 394 defense but with eviolite and pain split for recovery it can tank any physical threat. Will-O-Wisp can also be changed for toxie.


Mienshao: Physical Attacker

Jolly nature/Reckless/Flying Gem/252 attack/252 speed/4 hp

Hi Jump Kick/Acrobatics/Stone Edge/ U Turn

Yes, that's right, I'm using a flying gem Mienshao. Why you might ask? Because Most Mienshaos now are banded, scarfed or E-belt and who wants to be like everyone else right? Meinshao is one of the best physical attackers in the UU tier and can tear through almost any wall. *Beside ghost*

Yanmega: Special Sweeper

Modest nature/Speed Boost/Leftovers/252 sp attack/150 hp/108 speed

Bug Buzz/Air Slash/Giga Drain/Substitute

Yanmega, one of the mot underused UU Sweepers. Just because it has a glaring flaw to stealth rocks doesn't mean it's a terrible Pokemon. Get a few speed boosts and you can easily flinch your opponent to death with air slash or buzz annoyingly in their ear with bug buzz. Honestly the main reason I chose Yanmega over Sharpedo is because I had no special attackers and I wanted a speed boost special sweeper and again because no one ever uses her.

Krookodile: Physical Sweeper

Jolly nature/Moxie/Choice Scarf/252 Attack/252 speed

Outrage/Earthquake/Foul Play/Brick Break

Once again the main reason why I chose Krookodile as my physical moxie sweeper instead of Heracross or Honchkrow is because it is underused and it's resistance to stealth rocks. Yanmega had such a weakness to rocks I felt it was best to have moxie sweeper take 6% to Heracross's 12 or Honchkrow's 25.

Any tips, advice, complements, remarks comments would all be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Cheers,

Hey, you might want to mess with the format a bit and make sure each Pokemon has 3+ lines of explanations. Look at some of the other RMTs and you'll see their format. The format looks kind of like this:

Mienshao @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Reckless
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Hi Jump Kick
- Stone Edge
- U-turn
- Aerial Ace

All you have to do is add information about each one. There's a lot to talk about, like moves, types, and EV spreads.

Hey! I've got some advice.



Yanmega... And no spinner? You're pretty much asking to die. Not that Yanmega is your main win condition or anything, but it is your only option to be specially offensive, and you need to properly support it. There are obviously a few viable options for spinners in UU, most notably Blastoise and Hitmontop. What to replace?

Dusclops. And the reasoning is because, although dusclops is pretty bulky stat wise, the low HP makes it vulnerable to Siesmic Toss Pokemon such as Registeel and it's also pretty much setup bait for any Calm Minder or Nasty Plot booster out there. Also, the main way Dusclops kills threats, stalling out threats with status, is counter-synergetic with its recovery, making it an ineffective abuser of stall.

Run Levitate on Bronzong. Once your opponent realizes you're running heatproof (which they definitely will) you are vulnerable to any decent powered earthquake. Levitate will help you switch into attacks betters so you can stall out whatever's in your way.

One last thing: try life orb on Mienshao. I say this because, although Krookodile and Mienshao take on different roles with a Scarf, Krookodile can still revenge kill and you need the ability to abuse physical coverage moves on this team; it will give you better odds against a wider variety of teams.


That's it for me! Good luck.
