A team to surpass all others-a team to wipe the opposition away, a team of power, of strength, of concentration and extreme emotion- I bring you, TEAM INTENSITY!​

Galaxy (Froslass) (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 128 Def/252 Spd/128 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Destiny Bond
- Ice Beam
- Spikes
- Taunt

Pretty much the standard lead, throw this guy out, taunt the enemy if I predict stealth rocks or spikes etc, then proceed to set up my own. Depending on who im facing ill get up 1-3 sets of spikes. Depending on the pokemon that is attacking me I might decide to destiny bond and take it out. If an opposing pokemon taunts me first i swap out to donphan. If they trick me I swap to the best counter.

Slowbro (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Surf
- Slack Off
- Psychic

My defensive wall, this guy is just a beast. I can come in on a physical sweeper and between slack off and calm mind gain a boost or two on the switch or before it. If this guy manages to get 2 calm minds in he is pretty much indestructible and can even sweep teams after one or two more. Even the likes of venasaur who think that can easily kill me get 1-2 hit koed with Psychic. Lum berry helps with status.

Intensity (Typhlosion) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 144 Atk/112 Spd/254 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Eruption
- Earthquake
- Focus Blast
- Fire Blast

My late game sweeper, I bring this guy out once the opposing team has been scouted out and bulky waters/Flash fire pokemon have been removed from the game as well as altaria. He comes in after ive cleared away spikes/ stealth rock with donphan and begins to fire off massively powered eruptions. Im considering getting rid of the atk boost and swapping to 252 speed as I don’t use earthquake to often

Gravitation (Probopass) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 HP/6 Def/252 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Thunder Wave
- Earth Power
- Toxic
- Power Gem

My special wall and status inflicter, this guy fairs pretty well and usually manages to cripple a pokemon or two. I am considering swapping out eath power for something along the lines of thunderbolt or magnet rise. Him and slowbro cover each others weakness’s pretty well.

Rocky (Primeape) (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Vital Spirit
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Seed Bomb

My sleep absorber and physical sweeper, this guy usually comes in after froslass and starts pounding away with choice band attacks for massive damage. I put seed bomb into the set to deal with bulky water that are o so present in UU. I am thinking of putting in Punishment to help with the o so common calm mind cresselia that can cause this team problems

Rocknroll (Donphan) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 52 HP/204 Atk/252 Def
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Assurance
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Ice Shard

Last but not least my spinner/ semi defensive wall. This guy comes in whenever I can manage to spin away entry hazards or whip out some priority damage. He comes in handy with earthquake and his decent defenses as well.

team building

Team Building
I saw fake out leads and it was love at first sight. I immediate picked Persian as my lead

Next thing i knew drapion appeared. One of my favoirte pokes, with an awsome move set i took it.

I realized i wasnt thinking very logically in building my team so i took a step back and glanced at it. I had 2 physical pokemon already so i decided on a specail sweeper. Recalling a beastly pokemon that had done heavy damage to my team an an earlier match i chose typlosion

Uh-oh already have a weakness to earthquake and stealth rocks gonna be a pain in the butt, so i choose a rapid spinner that could avoid earthquakes, and mabye inflict some status, Claydol.

Then i needed a defensive wall noticing that the majority of sweepers in UU are physical. i needed one to resist fighting as that was a weakness in my team. I saw slowbro, and loved it. I chose this set because i thought hey, hes a physical wall and after a few calm minds a decent specail wall and specail sweeper! rock on!

Speaking of walls, how is my team going to coup with them? I started looking for a wall breaker. I saw seviper, loved the fact that i could shrug off status's with shed skin, and the wide array of moves.

I noticed that Ambipom was UU now, and with a higher attack stat and equal speed, i opted for stronger fake outs

Looked into the team, really didnt like claydol at all and dropped him for specail wall probopass. Even this guy i want to replace becuase i want a spinner, but i just cant find a slot in my team to squeeze one in

I really have gone insane havent i? Why in the hell did i think i should put probopass in there? i dont know! So i opted to meganium because of good defenses and a resistance to ground. Id still like a spinner tho *grumble*

Upon suggestion i replaced seviper and meganium with altaria and registeel. Altaria has a better moveset and it faster then seviper, allowing me to really pummel at walls. Registeel was chosen because meganium want quite needed on my team to cure status and the such. I also needed a mismagius counter as it could set up on most of my team, also covers slowbros weakness's

Upon suggestion i replaced ambipom with a much needed spinner and altaria with honchkrow, whos is much better for crushing those walls and bulky waters that might otherwise hinder my team. Insomnia is always good to

The UU bracket changed quite a bit, so i reworked almost the whole team. Froslass seemed to be the flavor of the month and i like the idea of setting up entry hazards, something i hadnt really done before. Honchkrow said goodbye to UU so i tried to bring back Altaria, but it wasnt really doing so well so in came primeape. Probopass was a fun altenative to registeel

Hello

Why are you using a Focus Sash on Froslass where you dropped 128 Def EV's? This EV's spread will be more beneficial: 6 Def, 252 Spe, 252 SAtk. You should also consider Shadow Ball over Ice Beam so you can do more damage to opposing Froslass, who you could completely wall you if you've lost the speed tie and get Taunted.

If you hate the accuracy from Fire Blast on Typhlosion, you could use Overheat instead. With a scarf you will most probably need to switch out again the next turn. HP ice is also a superior option over Focus Blast, which has low PP and acc.

Have you considered switching Thunderwave with Discharge on Probopass? I think he will benefit from this much more then he would have of Thunderbolt.

On Primeape, Punishment indeed is the better option. Put it over Earthquake.

Hope this helped!

For Primeape, use Punishment over Earthquake, because Ground is a rather redundant offensive type while paired with Fighting while Punishment smacks Ghosts and Psychic-types. Also consider U-Turn over Seed Bomb, to scout for your counters. 2x Seed Bomb = 160BP STAB Close Combat = 180BP so you're only hitting Slowbro harder but hey, you have Punishment anyway.

P.S. Your team building's really funny. So much build-up but you change nearly everything in the last step without explainatoj, which means everything before that isn't really too relevant
