Hey everyone! :P I'm back with my first UU RMT since way long ago. Since i have committed to not playing a single ladder game of OU until MegaMence is banned, i found my home in UU. Currently i am sitting #51 on the ladder at 28-10. I would have a better record, but the ladder didn't record many of my wins until recently, and i lost 5 games in a row with a past team, 2 consecutively to #28 and #5 on the ladder, queen of luvdisks and Vaporeon for UU, respectively. This team, hinted by the title, is based around Mega Lop and its amazingness in the UU tier, for which i don't know how long will last :( but for the time, i am going to abuse the hell out of it.

So here she is, Mega Lop herself (yes, she is a female). She is a power house and with the dual stab, plus her ability, there is nothing she cant hit at least neutrally, for the most part anyways. She outspeeds crobat, which just tells you this thing is screaming potential. The Evs are obvious. The moveset was actually a suggestion randomly from someone in the OU chat, talking about what a good set it is, and i fullheartedly agree. I can sub on obvious WoWs and leech seeds, or on an obvious switch, and then i can easily get to +1, and with her speed tier, she just tears the whole tier apart.

Truly the face of death of the UU tier, Rachi can perform so many different roles well, and for us, it is a mixed wall. The Ev spread seems crazy, but it has meaning, all of it. 16 spe is too out speed max speed based 70s neutral natures such as Metagross (regular). The 36 atk is just the spare Evs i had remaining. Max Hp cause i need the bulk, 144 def to live adamant max attack choice banded Metagross EQ (someone was running this on the ladder) and the careful + 60 Spdef is to live timid sheer force LO Nidokings Earth Power (Btw all calcs took into account after rocks damage). The moveset, iron head for obvious stab, u-turn for initiative, healing wish helps out my damage fren's, such as lop and others, and finally SR's because a good team isnt a good team if it doesnt have rocks

Rotom Heat has a great typing and makes use of it well. The moveset and Evs are pretty standard (I didnt need any more Spe, unnecessary, and would like to take Phy hits a tad bit better). Not much to say here, but i made it specs because after rocks this OHKOs bold defensive Vaporeon. It hits hard, and there isnt too much more to say except that it checks bird spam and can volt turn and give me an advantage

Protect/Toxic (HJK miss vs Stall/Wittle)
Umbreon is essential to this teams success and longevity. Wish pass and cleric work makes him worth it + his great type coverage with this team. With his Ev's he only has a 19% chance to die to a jolly Mega Lops HJK, not factoring in rocks. Overall tho, this thing sponges special hits and provents dancing with foul play. Protect is also espcially nice as reckless HJK Mienshao is a thing and is HJK Lop (and this is why i carry sub)

This might be the biggest surprise to the team. I dont know why, but all the BL pokemon are eligible for UU so i am taking advantage. I have always loved Mence's bulk and awesome design, but he has always been outclassed (except for gen 4, uber right?). But with intimidate and considerable bulk, he is a nice fit. With recovery and defog, plus a stab that still hits hard despite no investment, this mence is something to be wary of. Yeah, it cant take an ice move. But can he take a fire blast? a scald? a CC? a EQ? yes, yes he can. (couldnt come up with any specific Evs). Oh and btw, a -2 timid LO Hydreigon cant ohko this mence at full health with a draco.
As of now. i dont know who to use instead of Mence. Here are my 2 options and there sets, i would prefer one of these 2 but if there are better options, i would love to here them.
Mantine @ Leftovers
"IAteIt"
Water Absorb
248 Hp 252 Bold 8 Spdef
Bold 0 Att Ivs
Scald
Rest
Toxic
Defog
Mantine is my first choice because first off, he is flying so he is a ground counter. He, as well, resists fighting, which is a must, which is why mence was so good. Another reason, i originally chose mence, is because he resists fire and water, and so does mantine. And finally, Mantine can defog which is a plus for this spot. He has some great spdef even without investment, which is why i made him physically bulky. I run rest, mainly because first of all, he doesnt have access to roost, which is a downside. But, he does have tho, rest, which, paired along with Umbreon's heal bell, can work.
Crobat @ Black Sludge
"Batgirl"
Infiltrator
248 Hp 80 Atk 4 Spdef 176 Spe
Jolly
Brave Bird
Defog
Roost
Taunt/U-turn/Cross Poison
Crobat is the other option for my defogger. He has a great typing, as he 4x resists fighting. The main problem with crobat is that it would be 2 poison pokemon on the team. As well, he doesnt resist water or fire as i would like, but he is immune to ground. he is very fast and even with only 80 evs in attack still hits hard, so he can be a bit more offensive presence then mantine. So opinions on the 2 and which would work better with the team???????????
Nidoking @ Choice Scarf
"CallMePower"
Sheer Force
252 Spa 252 Spe 4 Spdef
Modest 0 Atk Ivs
Sludge Wave

Flamethrower/Thunderbolt
Nidoking is the perfect pokemon to tie up this team with. When people see mence, they automatically think, offensive. So, they dont expect Nidoking to be scarfed, they expect LO, as i won a game today thanks to that. He has great coverage and hits like a truck. I made him modest, as i dont believe i lost too much speed wise. Not much to say, but he is a powerful mon in UU.
So yeah thats the team! Great success so far, looking forward to more success in the coming days. All help is greatly appreciated! thank you for your time, Lop is love.
LOP IS LIFE
First we started off with Mega Lopunny, with nice stats and dual stab, combined with ability, i knew it would be great in the tier. Considering it outspeeds Crobat Naturally, you know that thing can thrive in the tier
Second i went with the motto, If you cant beat it, join it. With my past team my inability to handle the many different Rachi sets running all over UU cost the team so many valuable points. So, i added it to the team as well, it has some good chemistry with Lop.
Third i needed something to take a fire blast and an EQ, and with the lack of notable Mold Breaker users in the tier, i decided on Rotom Heat as it counters 2 of Rachis biggest weaknesses in ground and fire and also forms a bit of momentum with volt switch
Fourth i needed a cleric and wish passer, and something to take Chandelures shadow balls and knock offs. The perfect pokemon was Umbreon. With its amazing mixed bulk, it can help itself and others survive the long haul in the midst of an ugly UU phat stall wish war.
Now i needed something who could resist some water and fire moves, as well as ground, and a fighting resist. In other words, i needed, Salamence? Yes, mence. Intimidate + it being decently bulky already made it a wall that i never would have believed would actually work.
Finally, i wanted an electric immunity and Nidoking was the answer. With its lurge movepool and pure power it was an obvious fit, as i needed a special attacker who wasnt complete paper and had some speed to go with.

Mantine @ Leftovers
"IAteIt"
Water Absorb
248 Hp 252 Bold 8 Spdef
Bold 0 Att Ivs
Scald
Rest
Toxic
Defog
Mantine is my first choice because first off, he is flying so he is a ground counter. He, as well, resists fighting, which is a must, which is why mence was so good. Another reason, i originally chose mence, is because he resists fire and water, and so does mantine. And finally, Mantine can defog which is a plus for this spot. He has some great spdef even without investment, which is why i made him physically bulky. I run rest, mainly because first of all, he doesnt have access to roost, which is a downside. But, he does have tho, rest, which, paired along with Umbreon's heal bell, can work.
Crobat @ Black Sludge
"Batgirl"
Infiltrator
248 Hp 80 Atk 4 Spdef 176 Spe
Jolly
Brave Bird
Defog
Roost
Taunt/U-turn/Cross Poison
Crobat is the other option for my defogger. He has a great typing, as he 4x resists fighting. The main problem with crobat is that it would be 2 poison pokemon on the team. As well, he doesnt resist water or fire as i would like, but he is immune to ground. he is very fast and even with only 80 evs in attack still hits hard, so he can be a bit more offensive presence then mantine. So opinions on the 2 and which would work better with the team???????????
Nidoking @ Choice Scarf
"CallMePower"
Sheer Force
252 Spa 252 Spe 4 Spdef
Modest 0 Atk Ivs
Sludge Wave
Earth Power
Ice Beam
Flamethrower/Thunderbolt
Nidoking is the perfect pokemon to tie up this team with. When people see mence, they automatically think, offensive. So, they dont expect Nidoking to be scarfed, they expect LO, as i won a game today thanks to that. He has great coverage and hits like a truck. I made him modest, as i dont believe i lost too much speed wise. Not much to say, but he is a powerful mon in UU.
