-Hypnosis.
-Flare Blitz.
-Megahorn.
-Return.
HarlemHeat's Description: He's my sweeper. Hypnosis to start it off if neccessary but it gets real better. With 1 SDance from Leafeon, it'll shred through the likes of Hypno, Leafeon, Grumpig, and possibly Alakazam with Megahorn. Return for possibly to damage the likes of Persian and Raticate for examples, and finally FBlitz STAB for the finish.
 
Alakazam, and Pinsir are BL. Hariyama is OU and so Misdreavous is BL because Mismagius is BL and Dusclops is OU because Duskanoir is OU. Check each pokemon's descrpitions/threats.
 
Take a good look on the tier again: http://www.smogon.com/dp/tiers/uu

As for your actual team, it's pretty much bog standard in everything but maybe Rapidash and Leafeon, but they use bog standard sets and EV spreads, so there's little for me to comment on, as is usually the case with the UU teams you see posted here these days. I don't really see the point in putting in an arbitrary ''description'' of Pokes like Steelix and Poliwrath, but oh well. The only thing I can think of would be making Swellow Adamant, but that's just personal preference.
 
The standard Ninetails with Hypnosis/Fire Blast/Energy Ball/Nasty Plot works this team over. Rapidash can take it on to an extent, but some Ninetails might run HP:Ground just for the reason that opposing Ninetails/Rapidash wall it. I should really go on to say you have no real coverage on the special side at all anyway as Glaceon can also take this team on easy. Specs Altaria also screws this team, etc etc all special weaknesses. Your team is screaming for something like a Hypno or Clefable (though Choice Specs Glaceon can almost screw these guys over too). If Omastar gets set up in the rain your team will also struggle immensely. HP:Grass/Electric takes on Poliwrath just fine 1v1 as he can take the non STAB Equake just fine with his defenses.

Yeah that's what I was afraid of, perhaps I'll take out Leafeon for Clefable.
