UU - Envy

[Ryu Shimazu]

Envy “Lacking someone’s superior quality”

1) Charizard/Nidhogg
Blaze/Modest
6Hp/252Special Attack/252 Speed
Choice Specs
Flamethrower
Focus Blast
Dragon Pulse
Air Slash
Notes: Special Sweeper of the team. I can't do HP Grass very well on wifi, I'm one of the losers who breeds the hard way, lol. Focus Blast and Flamethrower were from Smogon, not sure about the last two, I just wanted Dragon/Fighting coverage for other pokemon.

2) Donphan/Shalbriri
Sturdy/Adamant
54Hp/252Attack/204Deffense
Leftovers
Earthquake
Rapid Spin
Ice Shard
Stealth Rock
Notes: Bulky Defensive. Sets up SR, Rapid Spin’s SR, EQ is stab and ideally a somewhat nice defensive wall.

Raikou/Sabertooth
Pressure/Modest
6Hp/252Special Attack/252 Speed
Life Orb
Calm Mind
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball
Signal Beam
Notes: Calm mind Sweeper. Signal Beam is to help with Psychics and Darks, and Shadow Ball helps with other Ghosts. Ideally to switch in at a good time so I can CM and sweep.

4) Feraligatr/Leviathan
Torrent/Jolly
6Hp/252Att/252Speed
Salac Berry
Waterfall
Earthquake
Ice Punch
Swords Dance
Notes: Set up Physical Sweeper. I liked Salac berry over Life orb because... 1 Sword's Dance + 20% Speed + Torrent = Fast and hard Waterfall! Maybe Life orb is better? I'm unsure.
5) Gardevoir/Livia
Trace/Calm
252HP/120Special Defense/136 Speed
Light Clay
Reflect
Light Screen
Healing Wish
Will-o-Wisp
Notes: Sets up Barriers for team, wil-o-wisp is self-explanitory, and the healing wish can come in handy. ( I don't like memento outside of Battle tower because they can swap)
6) Hitmontop/Cain
Life Orb
Technician/Adamant
252Hp/252Att/4Defense
Fake Out
Mach Punch
Bullet Punch
Close Combat
Notes: Revenge Killer, physical, Fake out + Priority move seemed beastily with technician XD.
Synergy:

Charizard is weak to water/lightning/rock, and covered by Raikou, Donphan, Hitmontop, and Feralitgatr
Feraligatr is weak to grass/lightning and covered by Raikou, Charizard, Donphan.
Hitmontop is weak to flying/psychic and covered by Raikou, Gardevoir, Donphan, Feraligatr
Gardevoir is weak to dark/bug/ghost and covered by Hitmontop, Charizard, Feraligatr, Raikou
Donphan is weak to ice/grass and covered by Charizard, Feraligatr, Hitmontop
Raikou is weak to ground and is covered by Feraligatr/Donphan

Sorry for some reason I was at Gamespot when I posted this and it double spaced it -_-... As for the vauge explinations (they may be still too vauge) I'm sorry this is a very rough draft lol.

Ideally my strategy is to start with Donphan for Stalth Rock, Rapid Spin (of course swap if it is a mixed or special attacker) and go from there. I forgot to mention he was lead..also I replaced Assurance for Ice Shard, because it helps coverage and it is priority.
I also meant they could counter it, not really resist it, not really synergy but...yeah

The formatting is a bit hard on the eyes. But I looked at Charizard and it wants Hidden Power Grass for all the Rock-, Ground-, and Water-types.

You lack items on Hitmontop and Raikou.

-Terywj

 

[Circa]

Some more info would help too. And I don't mean things like 'sets up SR', because that's pretty obvious if it has SR. I mean what exactly does it do (or is meant to do) for the team as a whole and such.

We also don't need to know what types they are. Just an FYI. The synergy bit is nice to know, but to know their actual types isn't needed. After all, we do know our Pokeymanz. <.<

EDIT: I'd also like to emphasize what Tery said about the formatting. Seeing it in that manner is really making me not want to rate it. D:

 

[xX-LeaF-Xx]

-The format of this RMT isn't really that good. I'd suggest doing it like this:

Charizard @ Choice Specs
Modest / Blaze
6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Flamethrower
Focus Blast
Air Slash
Dragon Pulse

This is significantly easier for people to comprehend.

-You're missing items on Raikou and Hitmontop.

-Some of your synergies are wrong. Raikou doesn't resist water, etc.

I actually kind of like this team though, nothing in particular comes to mind that hard counters it, although you might want to watch out for DDAltaria.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

I fixed it all (I think) I'm sorry about that... I was writing in a document... I wanted to keep a document on my computer so one day I could look back and see all this stuff (lol) and I copied it onto Gamespot..which double spaced it and so on. I don't know why I went there, they never reply. Anyways, I think it's fixed, and sorry for that.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Assurance may be useful on Donphan to catch incoming Ghost-types who try to block your Rapid Spin. Even better if your Stealth Rock is already setup.

I assume Raikou contains no Hidden Power for the same reasons as Charizard.

Gardevoir might want Psychic so she doesn't get shut down by Taunt.

-Terywj

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Hmmm.. So I should go with Assurance over Ice Shard? Only problem then is my Feraligatr contains my only Ice move, but I guess that's not a really big deal since I have other counters for Dragons and Grass, and ground..well.. I can't think of a pure ground UU pokemon that would give me troubles...

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Exactly. I could say that Altaria + Tangrowth could give problems but that's what Feraligatr and Charizard are for.

-Terywj

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

I changed it to psychic and the shard to assurance. I really wanted to put Nidoking in the UU team but man there was no room, and now that I looked at him, Nidoking is so meh =( I could've sworn he used to be bigger, too...

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

So, I'm not really familiar with UU grounds, is this good?

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Looking at this again... (man I'm going to get cool pictures next time ._.) I thought about Milotic over Feraligatr. Right now it looks like I have 3 somewhat defensive pokemon, Charizard/Feraligatr/Hitmontop being more offensive. Milotic would make the team more defensive than I wanted, but it'd also even out the physical/special attackers, and probably make "Leviathan" make a whole lot more sense. But alas, I love Gatr >_>.

 

[SilentVerse]

Well, I'm not that great at rating teams, but since I play UU a ton, I 'll give you my 2 cents. I don't really want to rip up your team's originality though...

-Who are you leading with? If you're leading with Charizard(which it looks like), you're still not preventing any of the common UU leads like Froslass and Uxie from setting up, with Ambipom basically forcing Zard out. I would personally suggest Donphan over Charizard as a lead, but I don't know how well that would go over, seeing as you are still getting beat by Froslass and friends. Maybe change Gardevoir to Uxie and make it a lead? Dual screens would get set up early game, allow you to rip through the opposing team with Feraligatr, and then cleaning up with Charizard and Top.

-Moltres kinda outclasses Charizard in most ways, but if you're playing on Wi-fi, I imagine it would be hard to get a good Moltres. Still, if you can get one, I would highly recommend it, since Moltres hits a lot harder and faster than Charizard.

-Unsure about the Raikou set, I've personally never tried it, but it just looks like it would get too badly beat by Status, particularly para. Maybe try Sub CM?

Just some thoughts here to think about. Also, Milotic looks like a huge pain to your team at this moment, since only Raikou can handle it really well, and it can be dealt with by the common partner to it, Venusaur.

Edit: If you're scrapping Gatr, Dual Screens on your team really doesn't help much, so if you are going to do that, change dual screens to something else.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

I could get a Moltres in SS, and it does outclass in all but speed, though I don't know if I will. Charizard can't function in OU, and NU looks...well it doesn't look fun to me, and he happens to be one of my favorites =(. I might replace him, but maybe his speed will make him worthwhile lol.
As for Raikou I can experiment, but the problem lies in the fact a friend eved it 252special att/252speed/6hp and I'm afraid subs won't work. I can try, though.

As for a lead, as much as I like Gardevoir I think it'd be best to replace it with a Uxie or Cresselia, problem is I can't decide which. I have a battle tower Uxie that's Timid 252HP/252Speed that runs choice scarf I could use (and alter it's movepool), but I don't know.

Thanks for the advice, not totally sure which wall to use though, hmm...

 

[SilentVerse]

I think Uxie would work better if you're leading, since it has 10 points higher base speed, making it faster than Cress. If you want to have a more resilent Dual Screener, Cress would probably be better, but you lose speed.

Eh, I just happen to prefer Moltres over Zard because I can use LO without losing too much SAtk, giving me a way to change attacks effectively. The speed may help though, so try it out and see which one you like better.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

When you say LO do you mean leftovers? I'm going to catch a really good Moltres just incase, and I wondered what you thought on this.
Should I let Uxie have Yawn and let Donphan keep SR, or give Uxie SR and let Donphan get iceshard or stone edge?

 

[SilentVerse]

Life Orb is meant by LO. I'm not sure on the Uxie, though I'm leaning towards giving Uxie SR; but again, I'm unsure.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Feeling content now, going to give uxie the screens, uturn and SR, let Donphan have ice shard... feeling comfy now :3. Raikou seems viable for Milotic so I think I'm okay now. I'll have to try moltres in the future, and thanks for the advice =)

edit: 1 deadly sin down, 6 to go..actually ubers is done so 5.. I just don't enjoy ubers =/

A side note, I could give Donphan Thunder Fang, the only problem is....
Donphan vs Milotic = ....

 

[SilentVerse]

No problem, I like helping people with their teams :D.

I think the only problem you would have with Milotic really is if they paired it with SD Venu; the only problem is that I have no idea what you could do against it. Donphan with Thunder Fang really isn't a good idea as well.

 

[xLeafybug =D]

SilentVerse, aren't you like #2 on the UU ladder?

SilentVerse, aren't you like #2 on the UU ladder?

Uh huh. I have way too much free time on my hands xD.
