NU Warriors

Hey guys,I bring you a RMT of the NU Tier.Nu has always been one of my favorite metagames and I also think its a bit underrated cuz not too many people play it.So without further ado Ill show the team I built for this 2 week cycle.Brace yourselves!

Hot Air (Drifblim) @ Flame Orb
Trait: Flare Boost
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Trick
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Now you might be like drifblim isnt that great it just has good hp and thats it.Well not really this thing can be deadly if youre not careful.I gave it a flame orb to get a choice specs boost right off the bat.Which means my sp atk is boosted by 1.5.The set is shadow ball for a really powerful STAB,trcik to get rid of the orb and cripple something like a wall or a physical sweeper that isnt fire type,thunderbolt to destroy water or flying types and Hidden Power Ice to hit altaria for 4x damage.Trust me Drifblim is great as both an attacker and a spinblocker.

Cactus Jack (Cacturne) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 Atk / 248 HP / 8 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Seed Bomb

Now cacturne maynot be fast but it loves getting a sub up and a swords dance,it also gets sucker punch to make up for its really terrible speed,seed bomb for massive STAB,Sucker Punch is STAB to btw.Now you may be like cacturne is a slow ass bastard but if you use it the right way it can tear holes in teams that dont have anything to check a cacturne.I also gave it lefties over life orb cuz Life Orb and Sub are a bad combo.

Mr Krabs (Kingler) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Agility
- Superpower
- Crabhammer
- Rock Slide

Well I know its the most generic kingler nickname ever.As much as love SpongeBob and kingler looks a bit like Mr.Krabs.But this isnt SpongeBob.Kingler appears to be super slow with not best movepool ever.The nice thing is it gets agility which will double his speed.Crabhammer because of STAB and high crit ratio,superpower to get hit stuff like Steel Types or Normal Types in the meta and rock slide to hit flying types.I made it sheer force+life orb to make the most out of the set and jolly to give it the maximus speed

Potato (Gigalith) @ Custap Berry
Trait: Sturdy
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Explosion
- Stealth Rock
- Rock Blast
- Earthquake

The nickname if you couldn't tell its a NBZ reference,cuz he got me into competitive play.I decided to use his set.Its basically a lead.It sets up rocks turn one,gets off a hit and goes BOOM!!!! on someones face.The set is standard for a suicide lead gigalith with sturdy to ensure to get 1 hit off before i die

Terminator (Pinsir) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Moxie
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- X-Scissor
- Quick Attack
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

No Im trying to imitate MoxieCross with the set Im using on the Pinsir.Once you let him go to +1 ur pretty much about to get swept.The set is pretty standard with my STAB X-Scissor for massive damage,EdgeQuake coverage which is nice to have except when you get Stone Miss.And quick attack to ensure kills on anything thats about to die.This guy can be a true TERMINATOR.Trust me

PowerEel (Eelektross) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Modest Nature
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Flamethrower
- Giga Drain

Now you might thini that eelektross is only known for having the levitate ability and for being an electric type with no weakness.Well it has decent hp,good attacking stats and decent bulk.But as always every poke has flaws and this guys main flaw is its abysmal speed of base 50.Now the set is a bit odd,you might think 2 moves of the same type is redundant but it actually works really well,flamethrower to catch stuff like cacturne,shiftry,pinsir or anything that expects a volt switch or tbolt.And Giga Drain to recover some HP.I may test a coil set,if you guys like coil

So thats the team for this 2 week cycle.Hope you guys liked it,as always if you have suggestions on how to improve it just lemme know.So yeah thanks for viewing the team.Until Next Time.Peace!

See, the main problem with this team is that there's not a lot of big threats. Sure Flame orb driftblim can be a pest, or if cacturn sets up it can be sweeping in a snap, but that requires some setting up, and what you need is an imedeate threat. Your Pinser is scarfed, but the rest of the team is super slow and scarfed Scolipeade will sweep once gigatlith is gone. I think kingler is the least important team member so

Primeape@Choice Scarf
Vital Spirit
Jolly
252 Atk/ 4 Def/ 252 Spe
Stone Edge
U-Turn
Close Combat
Ice Punch

Primeape should replace kingler. Kingler is slow and weak, even with sheer force LO. With primeape, your team gets way more synergy and bang for its buck.
