UU? Why would you try that?

superhammerhead

Ok, ive never played UU...but i would like to give it a try so excuse my noobiness to its metagame.
Note that this is a WIFI TEAM.

My Lead:
Raichu @ fsash modest
252 speed/sp att, 6 hp
tbolt
encore
nasty plot
hp ice/grass/water

Pretty simple here. Comes in as my lead, if i think the opponent is going to set up, encore and nasty plot up, if i do this and predict wrong switch into something that can take advantage of the situation. If something that i can OHKO after a nasty plot comes in, nasty plot, hold on with the sash and KO. Decent attacking here with psudo bolt beam combo.


Next up......
Claydol @ leftovers relaxed
252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SpA
rapid spin
Earth Power
Ice Beam
Stealth Rock

Standard claydol. This works in great with raichu, driftblim and ledian in the fact it covers raichu's EQ and covers all their low health entry hazard weaknesses and throws some decent attacks out there.

And some batton passing!
Ledian @ fsash calm
252 HP / 6 SpA / 252 Spe
baton pass
sdance
silver wind
agility/sub

Works in great and gets support from claydol. This thing mainly passes to raichu or ....drumroll...BIBAREL!

Bibarel @ lifeorb adamant
252speed/att, 6 hp simple
super fang
waterfall
superpower
taunt

A beauty of a poke....This thing is made to go beserk with double benifits off any agilities or sdances it gets thrown. Love or hate this guy.

Driftblim @ petaya berry modest
252sp att/speed, 6 hp unburden
sub
hypnosis
tbolt
sball

Agilities can go here but it doesnt need them.....basically sub until petaya comes up then BAM with attacking moves. Also if anything you dont like comes in hypnosis it and laugh.

Poliwrath @leftovers adamant
252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 Spe water absorb
bulk up
brick break
ice punch/rock slide
hypnosis

This is here to calm some of my weaknesses and to OWN pinsir.


Ok RMT. I hope i did good!
 
First things first: I have little experience with UU.

-On Claydol, I would use Earth Power over EQ since EQ's main use is to hurt Tyranitar, an OU Poke.
-I see what you're trying to do on Ledian with Silver Wind, but replace it with Bug Buzz for reliable STAB. You could also replace either SD or Agility with Sub or Light Screen to make it easier to survive long enough to get a stat boost in.
-Regarding Bibarel: Superpower and Focus Punch are not both needed. Instead of using both Fighting moves, replace one with something like Taunt or Yawn to keep from getting phazed too easily.
-On Drifblim, you could HP Fighting over TBolt since Raichu and Froslass already use that move and no Poke resists both Fighting and Ghost.
-Froslass wants Ice Beam. Since she is a special SWEEPER, I would replace Spikes with Ice Beam. Actually, you could replace her with a physical sweeper like Pinsir, seeing as you already have 3 other special oriented Pokes in Raichu, Claydol, and Drifblim.

Remember, I'm not all that good at UU, so take all of my advice with a grain of salt.

Um, if it's UU, what's tyranitar doing here? I'm detecting a threat emerging: choice band Crawdaunt or Sharpedo can either outspeed and 2HKO or OHKO with crunch several things here. With 558 attack, and 120 BP Crunch, you're going to be in for a rough time. None of your pokemon can switch into this attack... Although it couldn't switch in easily itself. It could get in on bibarell's waterfall, or it could come in on any of claydol's moves. Sharpedo, however, would have to get in on a shadow ball on a revenge kill. These to pokes have a hard time switching in, but something will die once they do;

I'll do the calcs.

558 attack Crunch VS:

Claydol takes 97.53% - 114.51%

Drifblim eats 175.57% - 206.56%

Frosslass gets owned with 194.33% - 228.72%

Ledian suffers 140.48% - 165.48%

Bibarell must endure 103.00% - 121.33%

Raichu switches into 125.95% - 148.09%

Wow, now that I did the calcs... all it has to do is get in and something MUST DIE.

Since this isn't OU, get a different hidden power than ice on Raichu. Try water (for camerupt) or grass knot (for quagsire and lanturn) Or, if you really want to hit those grassers, ...use hidden power ice. But still, lanturn will get old fast.


If this is a wifi team, congratulations for the hidden power.
 
I strongly believe this team should be rethought... in case no one noticed those damage calcs. Get some better, non-dark weak walls.

Agreed

I guess I could replace agility for sub...but ill onlt think about it.
Bug buzz, agreed.

Agreed, fpunch becomes taunt.
-On Drifblim, you could HP Fighting over TBolt since Raichu and Froslass already use that move and no Poke resists both Fighting and Ghost.
No thanks, it was hard enough to get a modest driftblim with unburden as it is.
-Froslass wants Ice Beam. Since she is a special SWEEPER, I would replace Spikes with Ice Beam. Actually, you could replace her with a physical sweeper like Pinsir, seeing as you already have 3 other special oriented Pokes in Raichu, Claydol, and Drifblim.
Yeah, pinsir is predictable...but good so that will work.

Yeah, ill see what hp Raichus i can find.

No, it is UU.

Ok, suggest a non-dark weak wall?
BTW:my new pinsir owns them doesnt it?

Thanks for the help editing now.
 
try Poliwrath. The only thing Sharpedo has on it is Earthquake, and Crawdaunt only has Aerial Ace to work with.
 
The Hypnosis bulk up set looks great. Get in on a water, dark, ice, steel, bug, or fire attack, Hypnosis their "counter" and start bulking up. He can take a nonSTABed Thunderbolt pretty easily and KO most pokemon.

it's in the analysis. However, I might even go for a Careful nature with more special defense so you can squeeze in more Bulk Ups.
 
Replace Pinsir, it's totally spammed in UU, and Poliwrath counters it nicely. It's also yet another rock weakness, while Poliwrath resists rock. Pinsir must go.
 
yay...


Anyways, here's what I would do:

Poliwrath @ Leftovers
Careful
252 HP, 252 SpD, 6 Spe

Brick Break
Ice Punch
Bulk Up
Hypnosis

With this amazing Special Defense, it takes several Thunderbolts to take down. Bulk Up patches up the lower Attack and Defense. Hypnosis removes their annoying (p)Hazer

Ice and Fighting hits pretty much anything, so it's cool.

yeah..ive pretty much done that but im still in debate bout the nature and if i can get ice punch.
 
Ice Punch comes from the game before, Emerald... from the tutor in the battle frontier.

However, if you cannot obtain Ice Punch, Rock Slide works good too.
