Teambuilding Thoughts:
This lil'fella was the inspiration for the whole team. After seeing [mod]Equinox[/mod] having success with it in OU none the less, I was happy to try it in UU. This became the simple basis for the team.
Being weak to fighting, and super hatted by Herracross, I needed the best counter I could get for this. So I decided that Crobat would do the job nicely, as it sweeps, breaks walls, and with the Choice Band set, it can destroy things like Mienshao, and Herracross.
Now, I realised how easily Crobat could in return sweep me back. So I decided to add in Bane for Crobat, and many other pokemon, such as Arcanine, and Chandy. Easily Bronzong popped into my mind, and allowed me to have Stealth Rocks covered, and gave me a check to Chandy, and Arcanine, which are huge threats to the team.
This is my all time most favorite Pokemon to ever exist, so I decided maybe I should actually use it outside of VGC. When I realised how much potential this thing has only being weak to spikes, and fighting types, I quickly stuck him on the team. Easily he became the star, getting early game sweeps, and messing with my opponents head, when I ran Bite > Crunch for fun. He's one of those guys who's staying.
Next came the monster that stole UU, and has made it it's feeding grounds. It murders everything around it at +1, accept Flygon, who Bronzong just lols at. Kingdra was easily the next best choice for this team. Having an early game sweeper has saved my butt multiple times.
The glorious monster that makes UU what it is. Arcanine absorbs all the fire type attacks that would normally plague my team, and in turn, he takes care of Snover, who's a huge azz for this team, making us get hit by hail. What a monkey nut right?
In Depth Details of the team:
Kingdra @ Leftovers
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 144 HP / 160 Atk / 40 SDef / 164 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Substitute
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Outrage
Why Kingdra is on the team?:
Kingdra is a complete boss in UU, and he takes care of Flygon if Flygon is not at +1. With a Sub out, he can waste the extra turn to get to +2 to insure a KO on Flygon with either Waterfall, or Outrage. Kingdra also checks some serious threats to this team. Mainly:
Flygon
Other Kingdra's
And if set up right it can KO Moxiecross with a bit of luck.
Why this set?
I stole this set from [member] Shadow Scyther [/member] and it's totally working in UU for me. In general this set is definitely underrated, and definitely needs some more love from the UU community.
