Unique OU Team

[monsieur.biscuit]

TYPHLOSION - expert belt
timid
252 speed
252 special attack
6 hp
-eruption
-earthquake
-hidden power (grass)
-will-o-wisp
Typhlosion can take care of most leads (barring azelf) in one hit. Will-o-wisp is for the occasional gyarados, salamence, or blissey switch in. Earthquake is for heatran. I've also killed many an infernape with it.

VENUSAUR - leftovers
modest
252 hp
252 special attack
6 hp
-leech seed
-sludge bomb
-sleep powder
-hidden power (fire)
Pretty standard with hp fire for scizor.

JOLTEON - expert belt
modest
252 speed
252 special attack
6 hp
-thunderbolt
-hidden power (ice)
-shadow ball
-signal beam {looking to replace}
Jolteon is great for ghosts and non-bulky water types. looking to replace final move.

LAPRAS - leftovers
adament
252 speed
252 attack
6 hp
-dragon dance
-waterfall
-ice shard
-outrage
Self explanatory set. Works fairly well. Also, a lapras sweep feels fantastic.

SUICUNE - leftovers
modest
252 special attack
252 hp
6 speed
-calm mind
-surf
-ice beam
-mirror coat
Not a big fan of my suicune, but it can usually get the job done. I've gotten pretty good at anticipating mirror coats.

DRAGONITE - life orb
lonely
252 speed
252 attack
6 hp
-dragon dance
-extreme speed
-earthquake
-ice punch
Dragonite is around because I don't like salamence and find dragonite a much more appealing alternative. It's good to bring him out to finish off weakened pokies with extremespeed. I'm thinking about switching the life orb for another item for this reason.

I only use pokemon that I find special, so that's why I've sacraficed some power to add 'em in. They actually work pretty well though. I imagine it's because of the surprise factor. Thank you in advance for rating, I'm sure I have quite a few weaknesses. c:>

Scarf Typhlosion. Eruption has amazing power and with a Scarf, Typhlosion will move before anything other than faster Scarfs and priority users. Get Hidden Power Ice so the Dragons and Aerodactly have a big problem on their hands. Focus Punch handles Blissey and Snorlax. Earthquake adds great coverage. He's my UU lead and this set has yet to fail me:

Typhlosion @ Choice Scarf
Nature: Rash
EV's: 252 Special attack, 144 Attack, 112 Speed

Focus Punch
Eruption
Hidden Power Ice
Earthquake


Venusaur is good but Celebi is a better choice, in my opinion. Higher HP and great recovery that isn't affected by the weather is wonderful to have. Celebi isn't ruined by status moves either.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Nature: Bold
EV's: 252 HP, 220 Defense, 36 speed

Leech Seed
Grass Knot
Recover
Hidden Power Fire




You could easily replace Lapras with another Pokemon, like the very handy and somewhat unpredictable Swampert. The dude is handy as a Physical attacker and the set below gives you Stealth Rock.

Swampert @ Leftovers
Nature:
EV's: 252 HP, 252 defense, 6 Attack

Earthquake
Avalanche
Waterfall
Stealth Rock


Calmcune should have Hidden Power Electric to answer Gyarados' call and to hurt other bulky Waters like Vaporeon and Milotic.


With the Ice Attacks found throughout your team, guys like the Dragons are probably already dead or nearly dead. I say drop Ice Punch and get Fire Punch to deal with Scizor. You may want to consider Outrage as well, since DDnite's Outrages are nothing to laugh at and can KO quite a bit, especially if Dragonite is a late game cleaner.

for your dragonite...eh i'd rather use dragon claw instead of ice punch
i guess you are using es on a ddnite to avoid being revenge killed so i willl say dragon claw as well but i'd go adamant though or jolly with enough spe to outrun adamant lucario. eh...

Please read the rules. Your descriptions are certainly not up to the standards required in this forum. Locking this under rule 3:

3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you are having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it
