​

Hello and welcome to the Sword and Shield UU Team Bazaar! This thread will serve as a more casual way to drop new teams you've been building than Sample Teams. Show them off, and some of the more adventurous folks around UU could use them, and even improve upon them. Make sure you include some level of quality to the teams you post in here; basically, don't post a team full of NU 'mons and expect it to not be deleted. Also make sure you test your teams before you post them here; playtesting is an easy way to get rid of very obvious flaws in your teams and makes it easier on anyone that'd want to give advice on your teams or anyone that'd like to try them out! Making descriptions for your teams is important too; wouldn't want to just drop 'em there with no explanation, yeah? Also make sure you post an importable of your teams and include sprites for the benefit of everyone who sees your post - you can use the forum's built-in Sword and Shield sprites with the following code if you want:

:ss/pikachu:

().

If a team posted here is outdated (if some of the Pokemon are banned or move up due to usage) I will be including them in the archive in the following post. In addition, all rejected submissions from the Sample Teams thread will be placed here and archived, alongside their reasoning for not being accepted.

Have fun and get to posting!

it’s a trick room team. Was really bored and just made it. I’ve had some success with it, and I’m pretty sure a skilled player (not me) could improve it and do good with it if they put their mind to it. I’ll highlight some key parts of the team

Runerigus @ Focus Sash
Ability: Wandering Spirit
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Trick Room
- Memento
THE MAIN SETTER. Honestly I feel Runerigus is an underrated suicide lead. Especially on trick room teams. Just press rocks, trick room, and memento the heck on out of there.


Greedent @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Cheek Pouch
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Belly Drum
- Fire Fang
- Earthquake
- Body Slam

I know I know greedent sucks, but let me just say it’s quite good under trick room. Sitrus berry and cheek pouch give it a free belly drum, and since your opponent will probably switch on memento, it’s probably guaranteed 2 or 3 kills since it basically has perfect coverage and good bulk.


Drampa @ Choice Specs
Ability: Berserk
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Draco Meteor
- Hyper Voice
- Hydro Pump
- Fire Blast

Love it or hate it, drampa specs Draco meteor has to be one of the most of the most devastating attacks in the game. Seriously this thing is a NUKE. It has great coverage In pump and blast to round out its unique stabs. Draco Meteor is pretty much an ohko on any offensive Pokémon they doesn’t resist it or isn’t immune to it.


that’s all folks! If you’re truly curious about the rest of the team, just check the pokepaste.

Cursed Rotom-Fan + Drampa BO

This holds the title of best worst team I've ever made.

Click me for the Pokepaste!


This started off with me asking some people in the community if they'd tried Rotom-F, since in my head, it seemed pretty solid against a lot of the fat in the meta like Umbreon, Weezing, Milotic etc., and to my joy it's been pretty damn solid. You really could use any Rotom form for the set I'm using, I just chose the Fan form because it has an amazing defensive typing, can't get its ground immunity screwed over by Haxorus (forcing Outrage) and it has more bulk than regular Rotom.


Originally I had dual stab + sub + NP, but I found that it just couldn't set up at all. After a ton of set iterations, I came up with this, which I've been really happy with so far! There are a couple edits that can be made, like swapping out Thunderbolt or Hex for Volt Switch if you want. I don't think Air Slash is that good tbh bc as long as you status something (you will) Hex is stronger than STAB Air Slash anyway.
This thing is surprisingly solid! It annoys non-Scarf Dracozolt a lot with willo burns, can set up in the face of stuff like Weezing, Milotic, Umbreon, a lot of mons that are choiced locked into Earthquake etc. and acts as a really nice emergency check to a surprising amount of stuff like Haxorus as I said before. It's also really good against the new and annoying Corsola, which this team doesn't struggle with at all thanks to my next NU friend, but it's nice as a backup.


This thing is SO GOOD LIKE WHAT. I originally put it on the team because it provides a solid enough check to Chandelure which the team is otherwise overrun by, but oml it hits so hard. Umbreon is the only switchin in the entire tier. Seriously. It's THAT strong.
It really abuses the fact that most people's dragon resists are Weezing, Bronzong or Doublade. They all get absolutely fried by Fire Blast (or just Hyper Voice in Weezing's case). It stonewalls all Corsola sets and denies it recovery thanks to Sap Sipper, and pretty much gets a kill every time it's on the field. Focus Blast is an option over Glare since it cleanly 2HKOs Umbreon and still does respectable damage to Bronzong and ngl I've clicked glare like twice.

Really fun team, got pretty high on ladder with it (top 50) and still climbing. Give it a shot if you like using stuff that shouldn't be good but is.

 

[TheJLC3588]

https://pokepast.es/9b94827d1e9d2aa8

A offensive team utilizing the offensive core of Dracozolt and Sirfetched to break walls.
Heavily supported by Choice Scarf Indeedee-F's Psychic Surge and Healing Wish (and Trick to debilitate walls), and Espeon's offensive presence and screens.

I'm back at it with the bewears in the new gen. Made this team to support a fun bewear set I've been trying out. Sub bulk up bewear is really nice this gen now that it has darkest lariat. Since this set is walled by galarian weezing diggersby just breaks through it and other bulky things for bewear to sweep. Rest talk centiskorch is really nice cuz it not only counters galarian weezing but also checks lucario and knocks off really easily. Gigalith is a really nice rocker because it threatens out noivern and is another check to chandelure with centiskorch. Roserade provides toxic spike support for sub bewear and is somewhat of an answer to bulky waters. Noivern rounds the team off as the defogger. Basically milotic is annoying for the team but it can be pressured once it gets knocked off. Bewear has enough speed for milo.

Quick little sun team. Had some succes on the ladder, mainly due to venusaur and incineroar with help from ninetales. Dugtrio is good for any opposing threats and works well with the team. Weezing is here to resist EQ and dragons. You might want Toxic on Weezing instead of Clear Smog but that’s personal preference. Have fun pressing Growth!

Alright so basically I got bumped by my friend Elias PSY on the ladder when I was playing some brain dead Veil Offense. His team was way too hard to break and I lost while being pissed off pretty hard against him (because his sets were not conventional at all). After I forfeited, I thought about this match while calming me down and I have come to the conclusion that his team so actually super nice since it actually counters the current shitty metagame we have. No sooner, I decided to make my own team and since it works pretty nicely, I decided to share it with some people which are tired to lost vs some brain dead team.

• Primarina acts as a win condition with Rest-Talk + Calm Mind but also a pretty nice Fighting-type resist which allows it to handle some hits from Machamp or Sirfetch'd. It's also a good way to handle some Dragon-types.
• Physically defensive Umbreon is absolutely disgusting and aims to counter things like Belly Drum Linoone under Veil or DD Gyarados.
• Venusaur is a blanket check to Water-types such as Specs Primarina locked in Surf/Scald/Hydro Pump but also Milotic and Vaporeon. Thanks to its decent special bulk, Venusaur is able to handle some threats such as Rotom-Mow but also Toxtricity thanks to Earth Power.
• Bronzong is your lead of choice vs Veil Offense since Gyro Ball is able to OHKO even max HP Ninetales-A under the Aurora Veil (97.7 - 115.4%). It's also another nice answer to Specs Primarina when its locked on Moonblast or Psychic. I opted for Earthquake because I hate Toxtricity but Protect is also viable if you want to stall out some turns of Poison.
• Flygon acts as a great Pivot and a nice revenge killer thanks to its moveset. Thunder Punch is there to smack Gyarados while Earthquake is nice to punish things like Cobalion. Flygon also acts as a soft check to Toxtricity. You can opt for Defog over Thunder Punch if you think the team is able to handle enough Gyarados.
• Last but not least, Bulky Charizard is the Defogger and acts as a check to SD Lucario which can threaten the team otherwise and it's also a nice answer to Cobalion and Virizion if they don't have Stone Edge.

Out of interest why Ninetales over Arcanine?. I'd have thought the extra power from Extreme Speed would be more useful.

Because Ninetales is the Sun inducer thanks to Drought.

This is my most recent Research Week team, where I tested Runerigus and Subtox Araquanid. Araquanid's seriously really good, y'all. Try this team out. Thunder Wave Cobalion is an anti-noivern tech and otherwise this team just kinda works well as long as you're not facing like, Necrozma.

Out of interest why Ninetales over Arcanine?. I'd have thought the extra power from Extreme Speed would be more useful.

No reason other than I didn’t think of using Arcanine. I am trying another variation of the team right now but I’ll post both in here.

So here's a team I made while back. It's essentially bulky offense with webs. The goal is to get webs up and then let Duraludon run house. Incineroar help keep potential opposing sweepers like Polteageist and Doublade at bay, while also giving you initiative with Parting Shot. Araquanid can deal with tanks like MIlotic, Gigalith and Umbreon. Tsareena is your main form of hazard removal and can scares away Vaporeon and unboosted Blastioise. I've had pretty good success with this team myself, though I'm not the greatest battle...nevertheless. Hope ya like it!

revamped version of a team i had from before pokemon home. salazzle generally has a good mu vs teams that use zong or coba as their rocker so the main mu i wanted to support it for was gigalith / rhyperior + sylveon cores. premise was that once lazzle toxics the rock type, opposing sylveon becomes the primary noiv switchin and it has to heal on it in order to check panda. if you can knock its lefties you should eventually be in a spot to taunt it w/ noiv and hopefully win the game from there. gigalith is the rocker cause with panda as the dark you need something to cover special ghosts. sylv is there to attempt to check haxorus but if it gets a dd its winning so don't let it do that i guess (ban this mon). celebi rounds out the team as the main means of pressuring waters and checking some of the fighting types sylv + noiv struggle with (twave coba). also serves as a way of pivoting in panda. sun and screens mu seem alright for it but catch me avoiding the ladder like the coronavirus plague while uult is on. have fun

Pangoro has been rising lately and I thought I'd give it a try. Two pandas on one team work great together. Bewear is the obligatory panda #1, which is meant to be the breaker against pangoro's checks. With the ev spread, bewear outspeeds milotic and ohkos with +2 adamant silk scarf boosted double edge. This also ohkos sylveon without any prior damage and defensive galarian weezing most of the time without rocks up. Unboosted double edge has about an 80% chance to ohko noivern on the switch in. With these checks gone, pangoro is free to spam close combat. Pangoro is scrappy to just click buttons since it is locked in. I was also interested in trying out copperajah since av switches in on gardevoir and checks the likes of celebi for the panda bros. I stole this set from the UULT teams thread. The speed looks like it's for rhyperior. I have no idea what the attack is for but the set is working well for me. I opted for roostless noivern since roost loses a lot of momentum on this team. Noivern just wants to u-turn into pangoro on everything that wants to switch into it. Rhyperior is the rocker with enough speed for the standard golisopod set. Haxorus behind reflect is not 2hko by anything from rhyperior, so roar is specifically so haxorus on screens teams can't set up in front of it and auto win. To round the team off, tsareena spins and switches in to rotom-wash while also having u-turn for momentum right back into pangoro.

I've been trying to get into UU recently and decided to build a team to get some games in on the ladder with and ended up with this monstrosity consisting of every single Pokemon being able to pivot out with one of U-turn, Volt Switch, Parting Shot, or Teleport. This wasn't the intention originally, but after starting with Banded Pangoro + Noivern, and then adding Toxtricity for the Sylveon matchup I noticed I had 3 already and committed. I would probably change Teleport to Trick on Gardevoir to ease the matchup vs fat if I were to use this outside of the ladder. Some issues that I came across when laddering was how difficult it was to deal with opposing Cobalion, as well as the lack of hazard removal being detrimental to a team like this despite the team not being very weak to them, they tended to rack up pretty quickly. However, it's easy enough to pressure any rocker that isn't Cobalion, like Rhyperior and Gigalith, and Spikes setters like Roserade can generally be dealt with between Noivern and Flygon. Cobalion can generally be worn down over time as long as you don't let Sylveon freely pass wishes to it. If anyone happens to have any success with this / makes any cool improvements I would love to hear about it!

Wanted to drop this before Haxorus is banned, used this team to get reqs fairly easily, also used this to casually ladder beforehand.

I find this team very straightforward to use, main weakness' being opposing fire types in Darmanitan & Chandelure primarily. Idea is to stack hazards (double Knock Off) and chip away to end up sweeping with priority spam, hence Rocky Helmet on the Cobalion. The go to tactic versus Haxorus was to alway go Golisopod first, to scout either Band or DD; Band locked into Outrage always activates Emergency Exit and DD is chunked by First Impression. Most Darmanitan are lead, so I would usually opt to lead Haxorus and double to Cobalion on their first U-turn. The EVs on Reuniclus are for Chandelure's Shadow Ball (2hko) otherwise, Reuniclus is the all-purpose pivot for this team. Future Sight + two Fighting-type 'mons (three with Band CC Hax) is very easy to spam. The team has a favourable match up versus stall due to this fact. Lastly, I opted for Defog > Toxic Spikes on Weezing for consistency on the ladder and Sucker Punch on Golisopod was for random Protect Celebi, whilst doing more damage to Haxorus, Tea Pot and few other things I can't remember. Use this team while you can, use this team to get reqs, enjoy it while you can.

A balanced offense team that strives to do well against Gardevoir, UU's premier offensive threat. The only pokemon which Gardevoir can switch into on this team is Vaporeon, but Vaporeon can use protect to scout out Specs Gardevoir. Machamp is an offensive beast smashing through basically any defensive counterplay, and bullet punch erases Gardevoir, particularly with rocks and a bit of chip, which is where Gigalith can come in. Gigalith acts as a Gardevoir switch in if necessary, also checks Chandelure and Toxtricitee. Copperajah checks Gardevoir, Roserade (no sleep powder please), and Celebi(very important, NP would otherwise walk all over this team), also acts as an emergency Toxtricitee switch in. Reuniclus destroys all those bulky passive mons which could otherwise be more trouble, such as Mantine, Gastrodon, and basically bulky waters in general. Vaporeon provides wish support to my two special tanks who lack it. Vaporeon+Gigalith can really destroy anyone who continues to try to use rain teams. This team is overall fairly solid but UU is rife with threats, and some of those who can break through this team include our own mascot, Machamp. Machamp is so scary to see on the other team as it outspeeds my slow special tanks, outspeeds and takes out Reuniclus, and does not care much for whatever Vaporeon chooses to do. Basically the idea against Machamp is use sand+burn to chip it to death, Vaporeon can protect stall, also hopefully get Noivern in on a CC or knock off(as sad as it is to lose boots). I would swap out Copperajah for a Machamp counter, if one existed. The Machamp matchup is simply something to accept, but the Cobalion matchup could be improved, if you're willing to forgo clerical support you can use Jellicent over Vaporeon. Mantine can also be used but gets destroyed by stone edge cobalion. Jellicent also improves the matchup against Machamp if you run a colbur berry. For sure this team isn't flawless, but building in this meta to address all threats can be tough, as in you end up trading how good your matchup is against certain pokemon depending on the team. The DLC is dropping in not too long and I'm hyped, I hope players find success with this team while we wait.

Caution: This team is still functional, but it is not currently a sample team.

CHOICE BAND TERRAK
https://pokepast.es/ce0ff61e7fa8530b



Looks like we could use a team in this post-DLC meta.

The concept of this team is p simple, Future Sight with Slowking into Terrak gets you multiple kills on most fighting resists, allowing you to spam CC afterward. SR Krook is the glue to many teams, but with rindo so polteageist isnt a problem (assuming you broke the sash, if not, click X) G-weezing is the defogger and the primary check to Krook and fighters. Scarf Rotom-Mow so you can get in Terrak and scare out bulky waters, alongside crippling with Trick. Mixed Jirachi is a DOOZY tho. s/o to Juno for this set, but not only does it THROTTLE stall squads, but it also lures in pokemon that would eat up an Iron Head, including pokemon that Terrakion loves gone, such as Slowking, Palossand, etc.

SkarmBliss is self explanatory. I just tried to build off the weaknesses of the first three. Celebi is there with keldeo in mind and has enough speed for crazy people running jolly heracross. Palossand deals with terrakion, mienshao, and even krookodile. Incineroar deals with chandelure makes a mini pivot core with celebi.

This team was inspired by Estarossa's ParaSpam team here. Jirachi is the star Flinch™ mon that capitalizes from para support. Sub cm hex chandelure also benefits with boosted hex and can tear apart fat teams once incineroar and tyranitar are gone. Roserade is a nice answer to rotom-wash and can set spikes. Stun spore great for catching jirachi on the switch. Cobal provides rocks and can attempt to para opposing jirachi. Together with rotom-wash they can check krook and mamo.

I like this team the most out of the bunch since the defensive synergy works so well while still putting offensive pressure. Bewear answers to crawdaunt. The bulky facade set works better on this team compared to the first as it punishes opposing toxic spikes if the opponent thinks it's even worth getting them up vs the team with 3 toxic spikes immune mons. Galarian weezing provides toxic spikes support for sub kyurem. Scarf jirachi can deal with terrakion and lycanrock-dusk that threaten kyurem. Mantine defogs and deals with keldeo. Seismitoad provides the team with rocks and walls rotom-wash that tries to gain momentum on mantine.

Rocky Helmet + Rough Skin Druddigon is a rly cool mon that's just great for chipping down stuff like Jirachi constantly, and with Glare can spread paralysis around super easily. Endure can also work well (s/o Cynde) to let you force an extra 25% on Pokemon. This team is just built around spreading more paralysis with it to try and make Dragon Dance Tyranitar an actual viable option, when it usually immensely struggles with Choice Scarf Jirachi/Mienshao being super common. Stun Spore Roserade is excellent at forcing paralysis onto Jirachi for it, and forms hazard stack with Drudd. Choice Scarf Rotom-W provides an additional twaver, ground immunity, check to skarm and general pivot.

Haunter is a rather unique choice of paralysis abuser, but with its super powerful Hex's it can really break through teams once half the Pokemon have been paralysed. Sub + Dbond just gives it some ability to punish switches and force trades when it gets low. SubTox Jirachi can punish Paralysis further, and help to further weaken teams for Tyranitar / Haunter sweeps.

This is a pretty standard Bulky Offense featuring the well known core of Future Sigh Slowking + Fighting-type. In this team Slowking's teammate is Choice Scarf Mienshao which is a Choice Scarf user that I wanted to test since a long time since it's able to outspeed other common Choice Scarf users such as Krookodile or Jirachi. Rotom-Wash is there to bring even more momentum to the team + it's a really good teammate to pressure Skarmory. Rocky Helmet Cobalion is my Stealth Rock setter + a nice way to chip things like Jirachi. I opted for Volt Switch to be able to pressure Skarmory which tends to come really often on Cobalion. Not gonna lie, I criticized Dragalge more than a week ago and I was wrong because this Pokemon is actually really fun to use in this metagame. Like its 4 other teammates, it's able to keep the momentum thanks to Flip Turn and it can absorb opponent's Toxic Spikes or place its own T-Spikes on the field. Last but not least, I decided to add Choice Band Krookodile because I feel like there isn't a lot of good Ground-type resist in the current metagame and the few which are good vs Ground-types (like Weezing-G) don't appreciate being Knocked Off. Overall the team is pretty nice and it's able to pressure pretty hard the opponent thanks to all its momentum abusers.
