Hey guys! Just recently got into UU after a long hiatus and I was looking for feedback on how the team could be bolstered to be more efficient and have better matchups against some of the more common things in the field. Any advice on what I should change and look out for is appreciated!
Suicune @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Rest
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Sleep Talk
Typical Crocune. I debated switching some of its moveset around to include Roar and/or Substitute. What's the general verdict on maybe a Roarcune sort of build?
Crobat @ Black Sludge
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Cross Poison
- Taunt
Does a lot of the killing, very good against all of the popular grass types in UU, and Taunt can stop a lot of set up plans.
Forretress @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Gyro Ball
Start with him most of the time to set up Steal Rocks and Spikes.
Krookodile @ Dread Plate
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- Roar
- Pursuit
Powerful finisher if I lose some of my other cores. I have Roar on Krook right now in place of Taunt, as I feel like I can get away with just having Taunt on Crobat. If there's a better move I can put instead I would love to know.
Salamence @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Iron Tail
Primary sweeper, typical choice scarf Sala. I'm not sure what the verdict is on Choice Scarf Sala vs Dragon Dance Sala; is one better positioned in the meta right now?
Florges (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flower Veil
EVs: 192 HP / 252 SpA / 64 SpD
Modest Nature
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Synthesis
- Aromatherapy
Great team support with Aromatherapy, and this particular build is quite resilient to Toxic. I'm not sure if the more standard Protect+Wish build would be better though.
