Scyther - Choice Band
Jolly Nature
-Quick Attack
-U-Turn
-Aerial Ace
-Pursuit
252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 hp

Scyther is my hard hitter which used to be swellow but decided to use him instead
he can survive 2 stealth rocks
this set is really blocked by aggron or steelix so i was thinking of either replacing quick attack or pursuit with brick break but i use pursuit a lot for hypnos or grumpigs that decide to switch

Lanturn - Leftovers
Calm Nature
-Thunder Wave
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Surf
40 Hp / 80 Speed / 136 Special Attack / 252 Special Defense

I don't think there is really anything i should change with lanturn
this set works pretty well for me
i tried a rest thunder bolt thunder wave surf set with chesto berry for a while and then i had a weakness to grass types so i changed it back
plus i like the leftovers recovery better

Hitmonchan - Leftovers
Careful Nature
-Bulk Up
-Mach Punch
-Ice Punch
-Drain Punch
198 Hp / 64 Attack / 248 Special Defense

Hitmonchan can survive so many special attacks with this nature and ev investment and he sweeps a lot with bulk up
i had thunderpunch for a while but that didn't work too well because this set was blocked by claydol who comes out a lot on hitmonchan i noticed
bulky grass types also try to come up and leech seed me so i think i need ice punch for that coverage and mach punch makes up for the abysmal speed

Aggron - Leftovers
Adamant Nature
-Double Edge
-Substitute
-Focus Punch
-Stone Edge
252 Hp / 252 Attack / 6 Defense

My physical wall. I have scyther also because it takes care of aggrons two double weaknesses. i had the paraflinch set for a while but i already have a t-waver and i opted for more power instead.
double edge is also for claydol(i hate claydol)

Sharpedo - Life Orb
Naive Nature
-Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
-Crunch
-Earthquake
76 Attack / 180 Special Attack / 252 Speed

Sharpedo does really well for me in late game sweep and takes out a lot of guys my other guys usually can not.

Meganium - Leftovers
Bold Nature
-Leech Seed
-Energy Ball
-Counter
-Light Screen
216 Hp / 148 Defense / 146 Special Attack

Meganium is my second physical wall which can take pretty much any physical attack except a guts brave bird :/
light screen to pass around the special defense joy and helps hitmonchan set up a lot on those stupid special attackers
counter obviously to KO back
this guy gets blocked constantly by venusaur though(Roserade in NUU)

thats my team
any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I know the tiers but i refuse to battle NUU
I'm going to keep on using Old UU until they get a bl and uu back
 
A few things...

Scyther needs brick break now with the Regi's now in UU. It also provides useful for the common hale-stall teams.

Keep the Lanturn.

Hitmonchan should probably be replace by Hariyama who has a greate deal more bulk, with similar moves. He can also run rest/sleep talk or whirlwind to great effect.

Aggron... you may want to replace it with Registeel. Sure, Aggron has great attack and all, along with higher defense but the advantages of being a pure steel cannot be overlooked.

Sharpedo is probably good, or if you want, you can go Azumarill for revenge killing.

Meganimum NEEDS HP Fire. Really badly. It will solve your problems with Venusaur, Roserade, and Abomanasnow. Speaking of Venusaur, it may be just as useful if you would like to add a leftovers to another pokemon (black sludge works on Venusaur)

Also note that the UU suspect test is coming up and so certain things may not be threats any more. In particular, Abomanasnow is causing a certain amount of contreversy (and nobody knows whether it will stay or go).

Right.
