Hi, I'm a longtime OU/OMs player but since my friends play lower tiers I wanted to try getting into UU, especially since some of my favorite Pokemon seem to live here. I did try some teambuilding of my own but I wasn't satisfied with anything I could come up with, each build felt like it had some glaring holes so I would really appreciate some kind of direction from people that actually know this tier.
I primarily would love to build around these two:
Haxorus @ Dragonium Z
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Poison Jab
- Dragon Dance / Swords Dance
Primarina @ Choice Specs
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 SpA / not sure what HP / Spe split is best
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Hydro Pump
- Sparkling Aria / Scald
- Psychic / Ice Beam / Energy Ball / idk what else
Generally I tend to gravitate towards Bulky Offense or some kind of variant, I like having good pivots while still being able to threaten the opponent and outplay (or VoltTurn) so I can get in my big breakers and/or sweepers and start cleaning house. Balance builds are okay with me too as long as they're not too passive, and I've started to avoid Hyper Offense more as I've gotten better to deal with more kinds of opposing teams.
Any help here is very welcome!
