• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

1stMove: Earthquake
2ndMove: Endeavor
3rdMove: Stone Edge
4thMove: Rock Polish
Decided to use rampardos after trying out in a few battles and it literally taking the entire opposing time out. Good attack and after rock polish good speed.

Def:
SpA:
SpD:
Spe:252
1stMove: Air Slash
2ndMove: Toxic/Hypnosis

Crobat is good for taking out a pokemon by either putting them to sleep on intoxicating them plus helpful for stopping spikes and such.

3rd Pokemon
Pokemon: Vespiquen

EV
HP: 252
Atk:
Def: 252
SpA:
SpD:

1stMove: Aerial Ace

Vespiquen is a good defensive wall the moveset is one which i developed in game.

4th Pokemon
Pokemon: Poliwrath
Ability: Water Absorb
Nature: Lonely
Item: Leftovers
EV
HP: 252
Atk: 164
Def: 92
SpA:
SpD:
Spe:
1stMove: Bulk Up
2ndMove: Focus Punch
3rdMove: Substitute

Was told I was weak to water and that I needed a water type so Poliwrath sorts out both these problems.

5th Pokemon
Pokemon: Sandslash
Ability: Sand Veil
Nature: Adamant
Item: Brightpowder
EV
HP: 252
Atk: 252
Def: 6
SpA:
SpD:

Sandslash is a good rapid spinner and after sword dance its earthquake is pretty much 2HKO

6th Pokemon
Pokemon: Espeon
Ability: Synchronize
Nature: Timid
Item: ??? Not sure
EV
HP:
Atk:
Def:
SpA: 252
SpD:

Espeon helps this team as it lacks a special attacker got this move set from a basic smogon set.

Thanks for suggestions so far working on changing crobat and vespiquen

Here's my rate....

Crobat isn't UU anymore...

And on espeon use shadow ball instead of signal beam.

Gives you unresisted type coverage.

I like that endeavor on ramprados,

Otherwise pretty solid team.

Edit: try to et rid of vespiquen, bad typing and takes 50% from SR

I like your team,although i would not recommend vespiqueen,as bug types are vulnerable to almost all types.Please,do not take this as critic,take it as an opinion of a gamer.
 
i'm not too famikliar with alot of uu pokes but your team seems decient
maybe you could just go with golbat since cro ain't uu anymore

What are you people talking about? This uu Needs some serious Help >.>
First of all at a glance i notice a big Electric Weakness. And a big water weakness and also i suggest you replace Crobat since it's not UU nomore on smogon.
Hmm..Try to get a quagsire or lanturn to absorb the electric weakness..Oh and btw change your lead to a Roserade. Thanks

I suggest you change your Vepisquen To a quagmire..get a good decent fire type and get a milotic+There is better Ground types than Sandslash..This team gets raped by Milotic alone..For example

Milotic@life orb
Icebeam-Icebeam can take out vepisquen and Sandslash Also Rampardos...Lets just say it takes out every member But espeon
Surf-Every member but Espeon+Poliwrath
HP:Electric-Take out Poliwrath
Recover

Milotic is a big threat to your team..And to not have a pokemon that can take it out is really weird...

it sure have flaws and I am not sure about your sd sandslash its not fast enough to take something down.
i do like the rampardos but I still think it should need max atk and speed instead of 160 hp since it has a sash, or you get an baton passing agillity pokemon like scyther and the rampardos has an life orb and then it sure can take down anything

Honestly, it is a good UU lead overall. Most other leads I have seen don't immediately counter it. I use it myself, and the majority of the time it gets the job done. It can also come back in later as a solid special attacker with Leaf Storm, Shadow Ball, etc.

Last time i checked Milotic is BL

Milotic is UU. However, as everyone else has said, Crobat is not. First thing I would change is the natures of the Pokemon on this team. Ramparados needs Adamant, as does Sandslash. If you are giving Poliwrath defensive EVs, why would you want a Lonely nature? Vespiquen should be Impish.

I do question a lot of your choices here, but if you want to keep the Pokes, at least adjust their natures and EVs appropriately.

now that rampardos looks a little more dangerous but why is crobat physical? you really need an special attacker and with nasty plot crobat is awsome

Crobat is not UU
 
Your lead isn't fast enough to use rock polish when you encounter a taunt lead with focus sash. next to that, say you did use rock polish, they still have focus sash to hang on and it would take a min. of 2 turns to ko someone (when your not using rock polish).
in one of the sticky's was a good lead and switch into rampardos. Like Yanmega, if he has substitute you could give him some more turns to last, and probably giving your rampardos a free switch in (due to substitute). If you give yanmega an +att berry you could always baton pas that to Rampardos.

Vespiquen is a ridiculous poke. Outclassed by many others. You're water weak and choice scarf Medicham (the top UU threat) gives you serious trouble. Rampardos has a HUGE attack....NOTHING MORE! Without support it will pretty much die very fast, specially since Mach Punch is so common on UU.

I think this team needs a serious rethink.
