Project UU Ladder Factory - Battle Period 8
- Thread starter BigFatMantis
- Start date
- Status
Final Points Totals for this Cycle:
Codename Magnum - 594
Aariz - 765
JustFranco - 791
After a careful inspection of all factory assets, it would appear as though Aariz and JustFranco have made it to the Factory Employee of the Century board!
JustFranco score: 791
Aariz score: 765
WOW IT'S A REMATCH OF CYCLE 1!!!!!!!
HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS NOW:
1. To determine who gets awarded the fabled asterisk (*), you two must fight using all 6 factory mons. The winner receives an asterisk on the board (both of you still make the board). Try to get this fight done as soon as possible (I mean you don't even need to teambuild!)
2. Both JustFranco and Aariz must submit a jangy set for a UU legal mon (anything UU to ZU) to the hosts BigFatMantis and Crushy Stuff , as this will be one of the sets to be used for the next battle period.
3. If you are too lazy to make jangy set, then just select a jangy pokemon and force the hosts to come up with a useable set for it.
GOOD LUCK!

Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- First Impression
- Scale Shot
- Sleep Talk
- Facade
Synopsis: Zeraora's speed ruining your life? Amoonguss's grasp on the Spore mushroom tier make you want to hurt small Pokemon? Well don't you worry, because this Haxorus is coming to life just for you! Use it as a sleep absorber with a band and watch your opponent wish they never used mushrooms in their life! Or just come straight in to First Impression the first thing you see! Or perhaps you want a more definitive sweep? Then kill all the fairies and then get to work with the banded Scale Shot! Who needs setting up when you can just kill immediately?

Skarmory @ White Herb
Ability: Weak Armor
EVs: 120 HP / 144 Atk / 244 Spe
Jolly Nature

In 2021 it was renamed to "Ladder Factory Skarmory". And now that soldier is here at your disposal, possessing incredibly defense and the ability to power through many, many, many threats (except for Magnezone f that guy).

Synopsis: Many dragons exist in UU. Salamence, Haxorus, Kommo-o.... but one dragon is the Dragon's Mawma of them all, and that is this Regidrago capable of going BOOM when you most expect it! Why go down in a pitiful squeal when you can go out with a BANG when you're almost down and out. And after one dance you're already faster than everything else except for that rare Jolly Zeraora that's U N V I A B L E!
Intel Processor (submitted by Aariz ) (worth 24 points)
Inteleon @ Life Orb
Ability: Sniper
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Focus Energy
- Liquidation
- Sucker Punch
- Fell Stinger
Synopsis: Inteleon has lost its core, and is losing RAM fast! It doesn't even have it's Snipe Shot anymore, causing many, many physical altercations!

SYNOPSIS: Tired of playing boring mons? Really wish you could stop, and just let the CPU play however it wants? Well then load up this bad bad MFer and just click click click and wish for the best! Truly a haxy Pokemon like Togekiss would be the best at such an impeccably random strategy! Because why try to win with your own skill when you can win with the dice and your opponents tears instead? Marvelous!

Cycle 4 will end on Tuesday, March 30, 2021 @ 11:59 GMT-5.
Rules Refresher:
HOW TO PLAY:
That's it! SOOOO EZ! You do NOT need to discuss anything you used, all you need to do is play! However, you are welcome to comment on the unique sets of course if you so desire.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
- STEP 1: Post here for the Battle Period (usually about a week) with a UUBF alt (e.g. UUBF1 Mantoise)
- STEP 2: Select the Pokemon from the list of 6 that you will be using with that alt to ladder (e.g. "I am going to use that slammin' jammin' Pyukumuku and the high flyin' Emolga set")
- STEP 3: Build a team to ladder with, using the Pokemon sets you stated you would use. You cannot change anything about the sets. You can, however, change anything else about your team to build around what you have chosen. YOU MUST USE ALL POKEMON THAT YOU STATED YOU WOULD USE, SO DO NOT GO OVERBOARD UNLESS YOU ARE A PSYCHOPATH OR IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO BUILD ANYTHING DECENT!
- STEP 4: Go ladder! The higher your ELO cap, the higher your score! BE SURE TO ALWAYS CLICK "SAVE REPLAY"
- STEP 5: When you think you've laddered enough, post your replay with your Peak Ladder ELO score to confirm.
- STEP 6: (optional): If you feel like your selections are just not working out, then make a new post, with a new alt, and change the selections for the period. Do NOT use the same alt as before, as your score is determined by what you used.
That's it! SOOOO EZ! You do NOT need to discuss anything you used, all you need to do is play! However, you are welcome to comment on the unique sets of course if you so desire.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
- Each Pokemon you select to use grants you points.
- The more niche/uncommon/difficult the set is, the more points to ladder with it. (Example: a set with Earthquake Celesteela could be worth +10 points, a set with Assault Vest Mimikyu could be worth +20 points).
- Your final score for the Battle Period is your peak ladder score divided by two, plus points you accumulated based on what you used. (e.g. if your peak ladder score was 1556, and you used two combined sets for +30 points total, then your final score is 778 + 30 = 808.)
- You must always save all your replays, and try not to hide your battles, so we can check to see if you are CHEATING or not. (This isn't super strictly enforced, but do please try to do it)
- The replay with your peak ladder score is required to be posted to confirm what you used to reach it with your selected sets and there are no excuses for that one.
- At the end of the Battle Period, the top two scores will be inducted into the Factory Employee of the Century board! Additionally, they will perform a Gentlepokeman's Duel using all 6 Pre-Made Sets to see who will be awarded the ASTERISK* on the board!
- The two Employees of the Century are also awarded the opportunity to each submit a crazy unique set for the next Battle Period!

EDIT: No. No more. This mon sucks. I'm sorry, Mantis, I tried, but this thing gets no opportunities to set up with all the Zeraora/Steels/anything with decent bulk/fucking Quagsire running around. I tried Screens, I tried Webs -- it's just beyond my building capabilities.

Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Draining Kiss
- Burning Jealousy

I like this set. It's extremely unexpected and hits surprisingly hard if you can get a NP off. That being said...you have to get a NP off, which is easier said than done in a meta full of Scizor, which has a pretty good chance of OHKOing with Rocks up. The easiest move to come in on with Dark/Fairy typing is Knock Off, which removes your Kee Berry, which is kind of the crux of this set. That being said, when it worked, Grimmsnarl either swept or did enough damage to let another mon come in and do work.
also this got a lot of laughs from my buddies on discord, they called it the Big Brain set Kitten Milk :y

Final Points Totals for this Cycle:
Lolito - 602
JustFranco - 783.5
Rawbi - 715.5
After a careful inspection of all factory assets, it would appear as though JustFranco and Rawbi have made it to the Factory Employee of the Century board!
JustFranco score: 783.5
Rawbi score: 715.5
HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS NOW:
1. To determine who gets awarded the fabled asterisk (*), you two must fight using all 6 factory mons. The winner receives an asterisk on the board (both of you still make the board). Try to get this fight done as soon as possible (I mean you don't even need to teambuild!)
2. Both JustFranco and Rawbi must submit a jangy set for a UU legal mon (anything UU to ZU) to the hosts BigFatMantis and Crushy Stuff , as this will be one of the sets to be used for the next battle period.
3. If you are too lazy to make jangy set, then just select a jangy pokemon and force the hosts to come up with a useable set for it.
GOOD LUCK!

Greetings all Factory Employees, Factory Newbies, Factory Champions, and Factory Whistleblowers. We have churned out some our greatest Factory Creations this Cycle for all of you to choose from! Behold!

Mew @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 180 HP / 252 Atk / 76 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Flame Charge
- Gunk Shot
- Giga Drain
- Psychic Fangs
Synopsis: Sometimes, when Mew sees Red, it charges at full force at the opponent! This Speed raise, when used twice, outspeeds even Scarf Keldeo! With the Weakness Policy attached, nothing can really stand in its way! Not even the ultimate Unaware Quags!
Indeedly-doo (submitted by Rawbi ) (worth 18 points)

Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Expanding Force
- Dazzling Gleam
- Mystical Fire
- Healing Wish
SYNOPSIS: This Indeedee sure does indeedly-doo its job of setting the much needed Psychic Terrain! Who cares about the Scizor when you are protected by a magical forcefield? Not I! Not you! Not Indeedee!
Milo Agenda (submitted by JustFranco ) (Worth 21 points)
Milotic @ Leftovers
Ability: Marvel Scale
EVs: 248 HP / 144 Def / 104 SpD / 12 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Mirror Coat
- Recover
- Ice Beam

Synopsis: What if I told that the Milo Agenda had succeeded? That we are all just prisoners inside of this Marvel Scallic world? All you know to be true is simply a Mirror Coat of what is reality. Life is nothing but a show - we are the actors, and Milo is the boss. But now, alas, we may rest in peace, knowing we have accepted this cruel truth.
The Galar Way (worth 24 points)
Articuno-Galar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Competitive
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

- Shadow Ball
Synopsis: Do you hate being intimidated by Krookodile and Salamence? Maybe even missing Alakazam and Bisharp as of late? Well fear not, for the answer to your problems is here! Articuno-G is here to provide for the people! With immediate escape action at a fast tick, you are always safe to retreat or do some big damage! And with the superior Scarf on, you can be sure the Krook will never get you.
Mean, Lean, Umbreon Machine (worth 28 points)
Umbreon @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Mean Look
- Curse
- Rest
- Payback
Synopsis: To some, Umbreon is just a harmless wishpassing cat. But to others, it is the embodiment of pure chaos. One look from this Umbreon in the wrong circumstances, and your life may be officially ended. And no, it will not be quick. It never is. It will be a slow, painful crawl into the abyss.
Queen of Spades (worth 30 points)
Vespiquen (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP / 172 SpD / 88 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Infestation
- Roost
SYNOPSIS: Have you seen that new toxic stalling Raikou? Thinks it can abuse Pressure with a substandard Defense stat? No immunities? And then that terrible Aegislash too? No direct recovery on either? IMPOSSIBLE! The real champion here is Vespiquen, a bastion of defense that will toxic pressure stall the fiercest of fierce mons and trap them in their tracks. Who else can toxic, trap, recover, and strike fear into the heart of the opponent like so? The answer, my friends, is nobody. God save the Vespiquen.

Cycle 5 will end on Tuesday, April 20, 2021 @ 11:59 GMT-5.
Rules Refresher:
HOW TO PLAY:
That's it! SOOOO EZ! You do NOT need to discuss anything you used, all you need to do is play! However, you are welcome to comment on the unique sets of course if you so desire.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
- STEP 1: Post here for the Battle Period (usually about a week) with a UUBF alt (e.g. UUBF1 Mantoise)
- STEP 2: Select the Pokemon from the list of 6 that you will be using with that alt to ladder (e.g. "I am going to use that slammin' jammin' Pyukumuku and the high flyin' Emolga set")
- STEP 3: Build a team to ladder with, using the Pokemon sets you stated you would use. You cannot change anything about the sets. You can, however, change anything else about your team to build around what you have chosen. YOU MUST USE ALL POKEMON THAT YOU STATED YOU WOULD USE, SO DO NOT GO OVERBOARD UNLESS YOU ARE A PSYCHOPATH OR IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO BUILD ANYTHING DECENT!
- STEP 4: Go ladder! The higher your ELO cap, the higher your score! BE SURE TO ALWAYS CLICK "SAVE REPLAY"
- STEP 5: When you think you've laddered enough, post your replay with your Peak Ladder ELO score to confirm.
- STEP 6: (optional): If you feel like your selections are just not working out, then make a new post, with a new alt, and change the selections for the period. Do NOT use the same alt as before, as your score is determined by what you used.
That's it! SOOOO EZ! You do NOT need to discuss anything you used, all you need to do is play! However, you are welcome to comment on the unique sets of course if you so desire.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
- Each Pokemon you select to use grants you points.
- The more niche/uncommon/difficult the set is, the more points to ladder with it. (Example: a set with Earthquake Celesteela could be worth +10 points, a set with Assault Vest Mimikyu could be worth +20 points).
- Your final score for the Battle Period is your peak ladder score divided by two, plus points you accumulated based on what you used. (e.g. if your peak ladder score was 1556, and you used two combined sets for +30 points total, then your final score is 778 + 30 = 808.)
- You must always save all your replays, and try not to hide your battles, so we can check to see if you are CHEATING or not. (This isn't super strictly enforced, but do please try to do it)
- The replay with your peak ladder score is required to be posted to confirm what you used to reach it with your selected sets and there are no excuses for that one.
- At the end of the Battle Period, the top two scores will be inducted into the Factory Employee of the Century board! Additionally, they will perform a Gentlepokeman's Duel using all 6 Pre-Made Sets to see who will be awarded the ASTERISK* on the board!
- The two Employees of the Century are also awarded the opportunity to each submit a crazy unique set for the next Battle Period!
