Hey Guys, so I am new to UU and I tried making a Team around a sweeping Empoleon, cause it's my favorite Pokemon and I like running that gimmicky set.
So the team consists of:
Empoleon @ Betaya Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs. 252 SpA / 4SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Agility
- Substitute
- Surf
- Ice Beam
Empoleon is a Sweeper that can setup in early to lategadme which can do so much damage with it's torrent booster Surf on +1 SpA. With Surf and Ice beam he can hit almost anything and he can even bulky Water Types with Surf really hard.
Muk-Alola @ Assault Vest
Ability: Poison Touch
EVs. 252 HP / 96 Atk / 160 SpD
Careful Nature
- Fire Blase
- Gunk Shot
- Knock Off
- Shadow Sneak
Muk is my Special Wall. He can tank literally anything, up to Z-Moves. His Stab Knock Off deals really much Damage to all Choice- Item Users and he can easily Knock other Wall's Leftovers off. Fire Blast is to cover against Mons like Scizor who like to setup on Muk ( its not a one-hit but it still leaves a huge dench in the enemy team).
Rotom- Heat @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Trick
- Overheat
Rotom is a great leader. With its Ground immunity its greatly paired with muk and Empoleon and often gets a free switch in on EQ/ Earth Power. Also, with its scarf Trick it can cripple enemy Staller or setupper. (e.g. Suicune in his rest talk)
Gligar @ Eviolite
Ability: Immunity
EVs: 252 HP / 164 Atk / 92 Def
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Knock Off
- Roost
Gligar is mainly a Rock setter, but due to it's high attack investment, his EQ can hit enemys really hard. He can wall Pokemon like Mega- Beedrill, Bisharp and Krookodile. Knock Off might be traded for Defog, but then i would lower his Attack investment, i am not sure if he's worht keeping in the Team.
Altaria @ Altarianite
Ability: Natural Cure / Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Roost
- Heal bell
- Bodyslam
- Defog
Altaria is the Cleric of this Team, removing Muk's Burn ( which he often gets by Scald), removing entry Hazards with Defog and Crippling enemys with Bodyslam. Its a great Physical wall and Draco/ outrage blocker with paralysing chance.
Zygarde-10% @ Choice- Band
Ability: Aura Break
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Thousand Arrows
- Outrage
- Toxic
Its just a Choice Band user who can clean up most Pokemon after they've taken a bit Chip Damage. Also, zygarde is my Check for Rotom's/ Alolan-Muk/Nidoking etc. Even if he doesnt Kill Something, he will do enough damage so Empoleon can clean up later, of the other way around.
All in all i am liking this Team pretty Much, but on the other side i think i am lacking in offensive Power. I think Gligar isnt fitting well into the Team and that i need another Band user /physical damage dealer that Zygarde. I Also think that i might be running an Adamant Nature with full attack investment on Muk, but i am still unsure about it, because as i tested it out, he didnt tank anything at all.
I hope to get some feedback and help with this team. Also, sorry for some minor spelling mistakes, it's not my native language :)
