My UU team(competitve)

A

This is my uu team, and it works rather well, however, I feel it can do better

Magmortar-Choice Scarf
Modest/252Sp atk/252 speed/6hp
-flamethrower
-thunderbolt
-focus blast
-overheat
I use this as my lead to take my opponets lead, usually with overheat, plus pokemon can't trick the choice scarf onto it. It also works effectivly to clean up the leftovers

-Claydol-leftovers
Bold/252hp/114spatk/144def
-rapid spin
-stealth rock
-grass knot
-shadow ball
This is the standard smogon utility claydol, with the exception of grass knot. I added grass knot after my claydol got taken out by a lapras, and so far it's worked better than earth power

Milotic-leftovers
Modest/252hp/240def/16Sp atk
-rest
-sleep talk
-surf
-ice beam
This is a standard smogon rest-talk milotic and I've found that it works very well in my team, generally speaking, I've had to fall back on this to win quite a few battles

Aggron-life orb-rock head
Adamant/252 attack/6def/252 speed
-head smash
-iron head
-earthquake
-rock polish
This is a standard smogon head smash aggron, however this is my only physical sweeper and it get wrecked by fighting and ground moves, so I kind of want to replace it, however it also works well, as head smash generally kills the opponent or severly damages it

Gardevoir-wise glasses-sychronize
Modest/252speed/252sp atk/6hp
-shadow ball
-focus blast
-thunderbolt
-hypnosis
This works well, as it can be used to get rid of registeel or steelix if my magmortar is unable to get rid of them, plus I can use it to sleep my opponent , then switch in and take care of it, however i'd be ok with getting rid of her

-Sceptile-Choice Specs
Timid/252speed/252spatk/6def
-leaf storm
-energy ball
-focus blast
-Hidden power(ice)
This it the same concept as my magmortar, leaf storm is to induce massive damage, energy ball is to provide a more constant source of damage, focus blast to deal with pokemon that otherwise wall it(registeel) and hp ice to take out flying and dragons(altria)

This is my team and like I said it works rather well, however feel free to dissect it and suggest improvements to it

Can I suggest a replacement for Aggron.
Or even on Aggron seeing as it learns it. Metal Burst. Bastiodon can do it to. If you have a Focus Sash and get a big hit it is an assured OHKO. If they are Stat upping the taunt and they have no choice to suicide or switch. Either way it diffuses the situation.

Hmm, well I'm more intrested in replacing it outright, as it's weak to two of the most common types in the uu and it doesn't outspeed any without rock polish

Well than you would do great to run a minimum speed Metal Burst as it can completely stop a sweep granted you have spun away entry hazards. Unfortunately it would be basically a one trick pony.

Exactly, it's the same thing with head smash, you get a head smash off then it gets revenged killed by a dugtrio

Arcanine seems to be better than mag. Gardevoir should have lefties or life orb.

Outclassed by Typhlosion. Eruption/Fire Blast or Flamethrower/HP Ice or Electric/Focus Punch.

-Claydol-leftovers
Bold/252hp/114spatk/144def

-grass knot
-shadow ball
This is the standard smogon utility claydol, with the exception of grass knot. I added grass knot after my claydol got taken out by a lapras, and so far it's worked better than earth power
uhh sure I guess but you have Sceptile to take care of stuff like Lapras as well as Aggron.

Milotic-leftovers
Modest/252hp/240def/16Sp atk
-rest
-sleep talk
-surf
-ice beam
This is a standard smogon rest-talk milotic and I've found that it works very well in my team, generally speaking, I've had to fall back on this to win quite a few battles
ok but you could run toxic>> Ice beam to help with bulky waters (aka slowbro or mantine or quaggy)

Aggron-life orb-rock head
Adamant/252 attack/6def/252 speed
-head smash
-Low Kick/Ice Punch
-earthquake
-rock polish

Low Kick or Ice Punch is a far better option than Iron head regardless of STAB

Gardevoir-wise glasses-sychronize

Get rid of this so you have something to get rid of that P-Doom weak (P-Z and Houndoom make a deadly offensive combo that wipes out this team.) I would consider something with priority that doesn't less to Cress like this team does as well and can beat Houndoom and P-Z. Technitop or Blaziken could work well, although neither solves the Cress problem.

Really Cress is a pain to this team, and the synergy between your Pokemon don't work so well imo. I would either go semistall and drop everybody but Milotic and start from scratch or just drop Milotic and Claydol and go offensive. You could then use ForesightTop>> Gardevoir, run an Absol/Dark type that owns Cress>> Claydol, and then I would go with a Natural Cure user like Altaria to take status, and Altaria can run a decent mixed set. Also with Absol's Sucker Punch/Superpower you no longer lose to the P-Z and Houndoom combo.

So overall, the team would look like:

Scarf Typhlosion
Absol/Dark Type
Foresight Hitmontop
Mixed Altaria/DD Altaria/something Altaria
Specs Sceptile
RP Aggron

you have to many special attackers. A Chansey/ Regice could wall your team after your aggron dies. Perhaps you could replace Claydol with a rapid spinning Donphan.

Only thing that Magmortar has going for it over Typhlosion is T-Bolt and Focus Blast instead of HP Electric and Focus Punch and Typhlosion has better Special Attack and Speed iirc. But if you really like the special firepower from Magmortar over having mixed Choice Scarf then I guess Magmortar could be used.

Also realized that you still lose to P-Z and Houndoom because they pretty much nail everybody hard. Try running Technitop atm and see how it works, however lack of Rapid Spin support may be a problem, so look into that as well and see how you can remedy that.

IMO I would put hp water/grass over something on Magmortar because hp water/grass makes it break through walls.
