| Goal/IntroductionThis team was built around a combination of Pokemon that I wanted to sweep. It's basically a compilation of my favorite Pokemon that actually work very, very well together. With out further adieu, here is my team.Team Building ProcessMy team basically started with these three. Azumarill, Espeon, and Hitmonlee work well together. Plus all of them are great from attacking on one side of the spectrum. Either Specially or Physically. Next, I realised that Ghost, Dark, and Psychic types could rape Espeon and Hitmonlee so I decided to add a counter. I chose Registeel
Now I realized that Registeel had a huge load to take care of. I decided to add a backup counter to some of those aforementioned threats. I chose Drapion
The final step was to add a good lead whose weaknesses are countered by either Drapion or Registeel. I chose one of the best anti-leads in UU, Moltres At A GlanceA Closer LookMoltres @Choice Scarf Modest : Levitate 252SpA, 216Spe, 40Def Overheat Air Slash U-Turn Will-O-Wisp
Moltres is a very good anti-lead. The moves give it great coverage for common leads. U-Turn is there to do damage, meanwhile switching out to a safe counter. WOW occupies the last spot because crippling any opposing physical threat is always nice. Azumarill @Choice Band Adamant : Huge Power 252Atk, 212Hp, 46Spe Aqua Jet Waterfall Focus Punch Ice Punch
Azumarill is the best water type in UU, IMO. Huge Power is one of the greatest abilities ever created, multiplying your attack by 2. To further improve it's attack, a Choice Band was added, which can do loads of damage. And With everything done correctly, Azumarill can reach an attack power of 654. This is enough to 2HKO many Tanks and Walls in the UU environment. Hitmonlee @Life Orb Adamant : Limber 252Atk, 252Spe, 6Def Mach Punch Close Combat Stone Edge Earthquake
Hitmonlee is a great Physical Attacker. He is basically my late/mid game sweeper. Hitmonlee is also here because he can take Rock-Type attacks aimed at Moltres, showing what great synergy this combo has. I chose the Life Orb set because I want to be able to switch moves. Drapion @Leftovers Impish : Battle Armor 252Hp, 252Def, 6Atk Crunch Toxic Spikes Earthquake Taunt
God, I love this thing. It has saved me many, many times with Toxic Spikes. Crunch is a good STAB move and can kill annoying Psychics and Ghosts that my team is semi-weak to. Taunt is to block any opposing Spikes setters and set-up moves. Earthquake is for other Registeels that think they could wall me. Registeel @Leftovers Careful : Clear Body 252Hp, 156SpD, 102Atk Earthquake Iron Head Stealth Rock Thunder wave
Registeel is amazing. He is one of the best walls in UU and IMO, should be in the BL tier. With 150 base Special Defense and Defense, It can wall many, many threats. Stealth Rock for obvious reasons and T-Wave for crippling foes. Iron Head for STAB, and E-Q for coverage. Espeon @Leftovers Timid : Synchronize 252SpA, 252Spe, 6Def Calm Mind HP-Fighting Psychic Shadow Ball
Espeon can pull off an effective sweep with the use of Calm Mind. Hp-Fighting for Steels, Rocks, and Ice types. Psychic is my main sweeping move, that is boosted by STAB. And Shadow Ball is for Coverage against Ghosts. Leftovers over anything else because when you CM up, you become bulkier and with Leftover recovery, you can become a "Steel Cannon", rather than a "Glass Cannon."
