Dunsparce MasterRace
I've wanted to try this for a long long time, and doing it in OU would be kinda boring, so I decided on UU.
Also, this team has absoutely nothing to do with the movie, the name just fit the theme and sounded cool, and why do you even name teams if it isn't so that they look cooler?
Teambuilding
First I had Ambipom, the ultimate revenge killer, with a +3 priority STAB technician and silk scarf boosted fake out dealing a ridiculous amount of damage, and the opponent doesn't even have to be OHKO'd, which is amazing.
I needed something that could take a fighting-type hit, and worked as a revenge killer, and specs accelgor looked nice, but after giving it ots of thought, I decided that Galvantula's coverage was simply more "special" and less likely to miss. I conseidered yanmega as well, but it just can't switch in more than twice, which was a huge problem, since I have no space for spinners.
I added in darmanitan and flygon because I consider them to 2 of the best physial scarfers in UU, if not the best.
Then I Thought I needed a specs user, just for sheer power, so I threw in zoroark, since azelf's coverage was redundant, but after a couple battles I realized I was bettr off just playing mind games with my opponent and setting up anasty plot nstead of trying to kill him off, so I kept him, but as a NP+ 3 attacks user, the second non-choiced pokemon with some kind of niche on my team.
Finally, I'm currently in trouble picking a pokemon for the last slot, my objective is a a good revenge killer (duh) that isn't weak to rocks, and has a decent speed, priority or just idiotic firepower. for now I've got mismagius but it's easily replaceable.
Suggested by Dragonicwari, decided to throw in a wallbreaking crobat, and I loved it, annoying little walls like registeel or blastois fall from anything after a super fang, so it helps all the other pokemon on this team destroy the, which I used to have trouble with.
The Team:
Flygon @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Fire Punch
- Earthquake
- U-turn
Flygon is a great scarfer in UU, and that is common knowledge.
I gave it an adamant nature so for that tiny bit of power instedad of speed, so that anythin that switches into outrage or u-turn pays the price
Galvantula @ Choice Specs
Trait: Compoundeyes
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Thunder
- Bug Buzz
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Volt Switch
Galvantula is... surprisingly good, it gets great coverage from the pseudo boltbeam from hidden power and thunder, except the power on this one is kinda lopsided. Compoundeyes+thunder has got to be the best combination of move and ability i've seen since dark void + bad dreams, and technician + bullet punch before it.
it has great speed and specs thunder packs a crazy punch, any subCM raikou that comes in thinking it can take 1 and start CMing is wrong, if it comes in on thunder and CM's every turn, it's cleanly 3HKOd even with lefties, and a +1 it cant really touch galvantula, since it resists it's STAB and aura sphere.
Thunder also has that great 30% chance to paralyze, which ccan be very helpful against opposing raikous
Ambipom (M) @ Silk Scarf
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Low Sweep
- U-turn
- Double Hit
Oh ambipom, such a broken fake out, many pokemon that wouldve threatened this team are stoppet cold by the ridiculuous power of the 100% flinch chance move, dealing at least 40% to most offensive pokemon, and more to others. Double hit DOES have a troubesome accuracy, but I have no other way of breaking through subs on my team, so I kinda need that there, plus the power from technician and silk scarf make it pretty deadly.
Darmanitan (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Flare Blitz
- Rock Slide
- U-turn
Darmanitan, the monster.
Flare blitz deals absolutely ridiculous damage to anything stupid to switch in/stay in to take it, it's only has a tad of a problem with bulky waters' but galvantula and mismagius can deal with those.
Zoroark @ Life Orb
Trait: Illusion
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Focus Blast
- Nasty plot
- Dark Pulse
- Flamethrower
Zoroark should just flat out wear a white mask with red spirals, because everytime I switch him in all of my tohughts turn into "I want to play a game" It's nervewracking to face a zoroark, you never know what you're hitting (or what hit you for that matter), I needed a non choiced special attacker and zoroark is just so much fun I couldn't pass up the chance of using him
Crobat (M) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Infiltrator
EVs: 176 HP / 4 SDef / 192 Atk / 136 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Taunt
- Brave Bird
- Super Fang
- Roost
Suggested by dragonicwari, much better than it's predecesor mismagius, since this guy has an actual niche on my team.
Not an incredible revenge killer, but super fang helps me get the job done against annoying pokemon like the regis and blastoise, and taunt stops setup sweepers and shuts down most walls, and walls usually give this team trouble.
It's a nice illusion target for zoroark, and it's an awesome wallbreaker, which after using crobat, I realized whas exactly what I needed
