Great, Lysandre's Pyroar stole my Ninetale's first life. I tried setting up on with with Calm Mind and Moomoo Milk, but it got a critical hit with Hyper Voice. I'm not sure if I should be grateful it was the only pokemon who I could bring back or upset because it was my favorite.
I need to go level grind my team to Level 50. Maybe I should replace Furfrou while I'm at it....

Also Meta, Zach's speeding through this? I was over and done 11 days after it started.

I keep procrastinating, but when I do play, I don't grind enough.
I'm surprised I've only lost two guys so far(well, three if you count Ninetales).

I'm getting another game in the mail soon, so I'm putting my nuzloche on haitus.
I'm almost disappointed. I was almost done grinding, and I feel like I had a nice groove going for me. But new games always take priority to me.

Round 5​

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
Just kiddin, she's pretty bulky and quite offensive so she doesnt really need saving. The epitome of bulky offense! Apologies for the delay, but Nidoqueen is here as our fourth team member! With her Electric immunity to keep potential Volt Switchers thinking twice about their momentum such as Rotoms-Mow, Heat, and Cobalion and pressuring with her Sheer Force boosted attack. Not only that, but we're given a Stealth Rocker to punish switch ins, weakening them for our sweepers and the like alongside her offensive presence which deters defoggers such as Crobat and Empoleon.



Playstyle: Balance

Cresselia @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Def / 16 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock
- Moonblast / Ice Beam
- Moonlight / Substitute

Solid check to most fighting types, Nidoqueen, and the common Salamence and Aerodactyl. Works very well against balanced and bulky offense playstyles setting up on many supportive Pokemon, especially if carrying Substitute.

Cress' Smogon Page

Sharpedo @ Sharpedonite
Ability: Speed Boost->Strong Jaw
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Ice Fang
- Protect/Earthquake

Good ol' fashioned MegaPedo sweeping. Crunch and Ice Fang get the biting boost after Mega, Waterfall and EQ offer good coverage, plus one's STAB. SubBoost is basically the closest Sharpedo can do for setup.
For this guy, we'll need either HO or Balanced, IDK which atm.

Sharps' Smogon Page

Batminton (Crobat) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- U-turn
- Roost
- Defog

Probably my favorite mon in UU, this thing can take hits even without any investment in bulk thanks to its awesome typing. 4x resistance to Bug, Grass, and Fighting is amazing for our team so far considering our main sweeper is weak to all three of those. Crobat also provides Defog support and acts as a pivot with U-turn.

Crobat's Smogon Page

Nidoqueen (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 56 HP / 252 SpA / 200 Spe
Modest Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Sludge Wave
- Ice Beam
- Earth Power

OK, time for my 5 cents here: Electric's going to devastate most of this team. Ice Beam and EVs let it speed-creep and oneshot Adamant Honchkrows, 2 STABs for obvious reasons, and SR because the team's lacking it. Also, it's weaknesses aren't too significant here, as Cress can easily switch into Psychics, Ice Beams, Earth Powers and the like.

Queen's Smogon page

AHH, it's all coming together! However, I can still point some things out that may give us trouble. Things that are commonly used if the viability rankings are anything to go by, so find em out and suggest accordingly!

Just get to suggesting or something, okay????? Suggesting ends on
March 15'th 10:00 PM CMT
Explain yourself when you do suggest, yeah?

Smogon UU Viability/Ranking Page

Also

Today is the last day to sign up for The Core Challenge! I'll be posting any potential rank-ups today as well if I have time. Was gonna put all of them at the end of either The Nuzlocke or The Core Challenge, but puttin em up individually is probably best now that I think about it. ^^
Gotta tend to that competitive spirit, everyone!

So apparently they're testing out a Scald-less UU ladder. Not suspecting Scald, just seeing what a ladder'd be be like without the move.
Is this like the Gen 5 No Stealth Rocks thing?

edit: woaaahh turns out there's a No Mega ladder incoming for OU as well!

 

[HoboJak]

Just realized I should probably ask just in case, since the answer to this question was yes -

Can we use Mega Altaria for the Fairy?

I assume the same goes for Mega Audino? Though the situations are a bit different which is why I'm even bothering to ask, since 99% of the time Mega Altaria will mega evolve, but Audino's more situational (At least the way I use her) and goes a lot of battles just as a regular Audino. (Because regenerator is helpful, and steel types are spooky) Although she still scares people into keeping their steel/poison types around.

Hopefully I wasn't breaking the rules without thinking about it 'till earlier :x
