Q

First UU team, Also called Organization 6!

Nidoking@Focus Sash/Poison Point
Modest
80HP/252SpA/176Spe
-Earth Power
-Stealth Rock
-Ice Beam
-Taunt

I used Smogon's lead set for Nido here. He makes a great AntiLead, and Focus Sash is to ensure that SR gets up no matter what. Since so many things carry EQ, Nido needs to be able to take another hit. I really like him as a lead, however, I wish I could use him a bit late game.

Lanturn@Leftovers/Volt Absorb
Calm
100HP/156SpA/252SpD
-Confuse Ray
-Discharge
-Surf
-Heal Bell (not sure if I should change this, possibly Rest)

Lanturn is supposed to be my special tank, not to mention, now with Parafusion, he will be annoying as hell to take down, or so I hope. So far, I feel like I EV'd him wrong, it seems like he can't take a hit. Focus Punch from Poliwrath destroys me, and if that doesn't, EQ will. I didn't put any EVs in Defense, hopefully I can predict incoming EQs.

Arcanine@Leftovers/Intimidate
Adamant
120HP/152Atk/236Spe
-Flare Blitz
-Morning Sun
-ExtremeSpeed
-Toxic/WoW

Arcanine is going to take Typhlosion's place. The recovery move is a big plus, and priority may be needed on this team. Flare Blitz for obvious reasons. And, like Delko said, this will be a physical variant, as I plan on adding SubNP Mismagius instead of Altaria. I also want Arcanine to be a little beefy. I am, however, worried about Houndoom. And was seriously thinking giving this spot to him. It is possible for him to kill everyone on my team, minus Lanturn, or so I hope.



Hitmonlee@Expert Belt or Black Belt/Limber
Adamant
6HP/252Atk/252Spe
-Close Combat
-Blaze Kick
-EQ
-Stone Edge
After help from Delko, it became apparent that Hitmonlee would be a much needed revenge killer, who also won't get killed from EQ. And, he doesn't really need to set up. Blaze Kick gives me the coverage I need on bulky Grass types, and Close Combat is obvious. I'm not sure whether to go Adamant or Jolly, and depending, the EV's may change. And I really do not like Choice items, being locked into a move, especially with all the ghosts types, could be a HUGE problem.


Donphan@Leftovers/Sturdy
Adamant
52HP/252Atk/204Def
-Assurance
-Ice Shard
-Rapid Spin (much needed on this team)
-EQ

My rapid spinner. Without him, SR would eat me alive, even before EQ does. I don't really have any complaints about him so far, he seems to be okay. Again, until an EQ punches him in the kidneys.

Mismagius@Leftovers/Levitate
Modest
4HP/252SpA/252Spe
-Nasty Plot
-Substitute
-Shadowball
-Thunderbolt/Energy Ball


Mismagius is my answer to a lot of things, and could potentially be my best special sweeper. She is definitely my answer to EQ. Definitely. With a few NP's boost, and a Sub, she can devastate. The choice now is between Thunderbolt and Energy Ball. Quagsire is my concern at that extent, and right now I have no grass attacks on the team. Energy Ball=Death for Quagsire. However, Bulky Waters are also a problem, and TB would take care of that. Hm.


Well, this is my team. Also, I didn't list it, but their nicknames are all Organization 13 members from Kingdom Hearts :). Now, be as harsh as you need to be. I can take it, and it'll only help me grow. I clearly need more experience, and anything you can contribute would be fantastic. OH! And I hope I followed the Forum Rules correctly. Thank you very much!!!
 
Hello

First of all you are using Donphan as defensive so don't use a Life Orb. Leftovers would be much more appreciated.

You could take out Typlosion but if you do I suggest replacing with another Fire type as you have 4 pokemon weak to Ice type moves and only Lanturn and Typlosion resists that. You could go with Arcanine if you wish. Arcanine has access to Intimidate, a way of instant recovery through Morning Sun and Extreme Speed could help you out on occasions.
Your team has both special and physical pokemon so it's okay if you make Arcanine a Physical variant unlike Typlosion is now. I suggest this moveset:

Arcanine @ leftovers/ adamant/ intimidate
120 HP, 152 Atk, 236 Spe

- Flare Blitz
- Morning Sun
- ExtremeSpeed
- Toxic/ Will-o-wisp

Arcanine has multiple advantages over Typhlosion and one of them is his ability. This allows Arcanine to switch-in against powerful physical attackers such as the Hitmon family, ... His movest is standard and obvious so no further explanation is needed here. Toxic or Will-o-wisp is up to you, just pick whatever one you seemed to need the most.

You could go with Confuse Ray on Lanturn and take out Thunderbolt for Discharge so you won't need Thunderwave anymore. Parafusion is annoying to beat.

To cover your weakness to Rock and to help you with a rather slow team I suggest replacing Scyther with Hitmonlee. Preferably with a Choice Scarf attached to help with the speed issue. This will give you a darn good revenge killer. Besides Fighting a great attack type move in UU. I suggest this set:
i_hitmonlee.gif

Hitmonlee @ choice scarf/ jolly/ limber
40 HP, 252 Atk, 216 Spe

- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Blaze Kick
- Earthquake

Hitmonlee is preferred over Hitmonchan because of the higher attack stat. Again the set is pretty standard but it works. Hitmonlee acts as a decent revenge killer against the likes of Registeel, Steelix, Raikou, etc. Limber is also a nice protection for you against paralysis.

The next thing I notice that you are using your Altaria offensively so try a Modest/ Timid nature on it and consider giving it a attack bootsing item such as Life Orb or Expert Belt. If you do make him offensive you should also give him a different EV spread. A set of 6 HP, 252 SpA, 252 Spe would suffice. You can also use Dragon Pulse or a Hidden Power of choice instead of Toxic as that's not really efficient of a offensive pokemon and if you used my previous suggestion Arcanine already has it.

I hope this helped!

EDIT: you didn't posted your abilities so I figured they are the most logical ones.
 
Wow thanks a lot! That actually really helped. And those were actually the two pokemon I've really been considering replacing. I was debating switching Scyther for a SD Venusaur, but Hitmonlee I think will work wonders. As for Arcanine, absolutely. And actually, my Altaria is supposed to be defensive, but I do believe I'd prefer an offensive set on her. And for Donphan, Thanks a lot! I didn't really think about throwing leftovers on him, but that'll work. I really appreciate the help!

Keep 'em coming! :)

EDIT: Oops, I added them now. Thanks again! Also, I'm debating replacing Altaria, any ideas? Or maybe I should keep her?


Hm, Mismagius might be a great addition, especially with Hitmonlee. I'm definitely thinking about switching Altaria for Mismagius.


Again, I've been researching for different pokemon to replace Scyther and Typhlosion, and possibly Altaria. Hitmonlee seems like a definite, and I feel as though Mismagius would make a GREAT asset as well. Please continue rating and commenting, thank you! And maybe Espeon can replace Typhlosion? Or even Umbreon?
 
Sorry for the double post, Anyone else have any ideas? Please and thank you :)

Added some pokes that I think will help, and took out the problems.
