Two defensive behemoths stuck out the second the UU List came out: Chansey and Deoxys-Defense. Both are capable of sponging many hits. Chansey with its massive 250 HP and 105 Special Defense in conjunction with Evolution Stone lets it take strong attacks from the Specially Offensive Spectrum and still take moderately powerful Physical Attacks. Deoxys-Defense has 50/160/160 Defenses and provides great Utility as a Spiker and Taunter. Both have reliable moves of recover in the forms of Softboiled/Wish and Recover, respectively. However, that's not all that UU has given us.
UU also has its supporters. It has a decent amount of viable spinblockers, such as Spiritomb, Dusclops/Dusknoir and Froslass to check other Rapid Spinners, such as Claydol and Hitmontop. Drapion, Zapdos, Suicune, and Celebi can all be phazers, and the return of many Gen IV UU behemoths are here to make a stand such as Milotic, Venusaur, and Weezing.
What else does UU have to offer for stall in this offensive meta of hard-hitters? What changes do you believe players will have to make to adapt to UU threats?
