UU Sun Team

[iiZqHD]

Intro.
Hey Whatsup Smogoners? For my first RMT post i figured i would post a team that i am very succesful with. So, lets get right in.

Chandelure @ Focus Sash
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Serious Nature
- Fire Blast
- Sunny Day
- Energy Ball
- Shadow Ball

Chandelure is my usual lead. He has a lot of speed so he can get sunny day up as fast as possible. Fire Blast Gives it a nice STAB Bonus and his high SpAtk makes it a powerful move, now if you throw in a SD Then it usually OHKO a lot of things. Energy ball for when those pesky water/rock types and shadow ball because ive seen many people lead with a Chandelure as well. Great for beginning game sweeps.

Arcanine @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Spd / 156 Atk / 100 HP
Adamant Nature
- ExtremeSpeed
- Close Combat
- Flare Blitz
- Sunny Day

Next is the Amazing Arcanine. E-Speed for when the enemy has low health, CC for a good Physical, Flare Blitz for the STAB and SD to power up Flare Blitz. He is an amazing sweeper with SD up.

Sawsbuck @ Life Orb
Trait: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 Spd / 4 HP / 252 Atk
Adamant Nature
- Double-Edge
- Horn Leech
- Jump Kick
- Swords Dance

And now for the teams #1 Physical Sweeper. His ability makes it the fastest Pokemon on the field. Double Edge is there for a high attack and STAB. Horn leech for another STAB and a recovery system, Jump Kick for the high Attack. And Swords Dance can make Sawsbuck a force to be reckoned with.

Claydol @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SDef / 252 HP
Relaxed Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic

And now for a VERY important part of this team. He is my spinner, which takes out the SR which can really hurt my team. SR so you can get up some hazards, EQ for a STAB and so hes not taunt bait, and Toxic to deal with pesky walls.

Now For the 2 best on the team.

Victini @ Life Orb
Trait: Victory Star
EVs: 100 HP / 252 Atk / 156 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Fusion Bolt
- Zen Headbutt
- V-create
- U-turn

Victini, the Teams Awesome Physical Sweeper, aside from Sawsbuck, is an absolute monster. Fusion Bolt for Flying and water, Zen Headbutt for the STAB, V-Create for the STAB+SD, and U-Turn For a Speedy Getaway (or another psychic)

Azelf @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 156 HP / 100 SAtk
Modest Nature
- Psychic
- U-turn
- Fire Blast
- Thunderbolt

Now for my Special Sweeper. Psychic for the STAB, U-Turn for a quick Switch, Fire Blast for SD, Tbolt for the water and such.

So thats my team ^_^ Any and all help is appreciated.​

3 psychic types and a ghost type. Your team is so rediculously weak/susceptible to ghost and dark moves that it wouldn't be hard for your team to be swept. I suggest that you replace at least 2. One of the 2 being replaced should be azelf as it isn't providing much to your team. The other should be claydol or victini. Actually, your team could be swept by swampert or quagsire after sawsbuck is removed. You should replace both victini/claydol (i suggest victini; users of rapid spin and sr are as uncommon as useful) and azelf with some other Pokemon as this would eliminate your obvious weaknesses to water, ghost, and dark type moves. I think a porygon-z and a scarfed Heracross would prove to be very valuable additions to your team. The water weakness that is left shouldn't bee a problem due to the sun's ability to lower water type moves power.

Hey, very interesting team, and I think your descriptions could use a bit more bulk x:. However, a major threat I see is Mismagius, who (if allowed to set up while Claydol is out), can Taunt Claydol and proceed to the usage of Calm Mind/Nasty Plot, both very threatening. If it is a Nasty Plot variant, Chandelure may be able to kill it off, but not after it's already taken out a teammate. If it's the Calm Mind variant, it still hits ridiculously hard, while being able to take hits too. Not even your Sawsbuck can Ohko it without Swords Dance, but I am assuming your opponent will be smart enough to switch it in on a Jump Kick, or just use something else on their team saving Mismagius to kill off your other pokemon.

To help with your ghost weakness, I suggest adding Moxie Honchkrow over your beloved Azelf. Unless you plan on having it as support, Azelf is generally unneeded in a Sunny Day team. Honchkrow's weakness to Ice type attacks is nullified by your Fire Type pokemon, and it's weakness to Electric can be dealt with by sending in Claydol. If it is able to set up a substitute, it can be a huge threat to the opposing team (though you may find that this wastes sun turns). Arcanine can also be taken out for this, seeing as you have enough physical offense to take out your opponent readily, and Arcanine's Flare Blitz won't be missed because of Victini's V-Create.

If you do decide to keep Azelf, I suggest giving it Nasty Plot instead of U-Turn. This makes Azelf a very viable sweeper, while still maintaining the main attacking moves that you have given it. Nasty Plot with Azelf's already high speed suggests that you run Timid Nature to outspeed opposing Ambipom and Raikou, while still maintaining the ability to hit hard. The preferred EV spread is 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe.

Speaking of Evs, why did you give a lot of your pokemon 100 Hp evs? These would be much better placed in Speed/Attack respectively.

And, while yes, Sunny Day rules out a bit of your water weaknesses, I think Rain Dance Teams may have it's way with this team easily. To take care of this, I'm not sure if Thunderbolt on your Azelf is enough. Especially because Kingdra really hurts this team. Because of this, I think you should give Choice Scarf Flygon a thought. If you are able to take you the Rain Dance with Sunny Day, then Scarf Flygon is able to Ko Kingdra pretty nicely with Outrage. And anyway, it has Fire Punch that is boosted by the Sun which is always great! The sets will be posted below..
