    So hi guys, recently there was a UU challenge that consisted playing only LU Pokémons, which was a tough challenge because some UU threat are nearly not counterable but I decided to take a heavily bulky approach to reduce the amount of hax possible, and also because UU offense stuff are really really good in the current metagame ( ie Salamence, Victini)

    Anyway, i'll present the team

    Slowking (F) @ Leftovers

    Trait: Regenerator

    EVs: 252 HP / 248 Def / 8 Spd

    IVs: 0 Atk

    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)

    - Calm Mind

    - Scald

    - Psyshock

    - Slack Off

    This is SLOWGOD, I equipped it Flame orb because yolo, my fire blast switch in for burns cause it has 100% burn ratio on it for some reasons, it main purpose is to set up and win late game, which can be done easily vs Florges, Special Salamence, Mega Aggron and Mega Aerodactyl. Scald being that awesome move with 0% chance of burn when needed but 100% when you have the matchup and psyshock beating non roar Suicune makes in my opinion Slowking, one of the best bulky water in UU. THIS IS AN ENTEI COUNTER UNTIL STONE CRIT KILLS YOU WITH BURN.

    Tangrowth (F) @ Assault Vest

    Trait: Regenerator

    EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SAtk

    IVs: 30 Atk / 30 SAtk / 30 Spd

    Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd)

    - Earthquake

    - Leaf Storm

    - Knock Off

    - Hidden Power [Fire]


    I like being nuisance, makes me feel less bad in the ladder, especially when playing Regen cores like Slowking/Tangrowth. AV offensive wroth is very decent as a Feraligatr DD check, also hp fire can take by surprise mons like Forretress who think they're safe switch in ( they're not pls). Hp fire also deals with shaymin around 40% which is quite conveniant, so it can be a soft check to shaymin depending how much hp you still have. Earthquake has one purpose, dealing damage to Victini and Entei on the switch, and also crippling Empoleon, cause they can be problematic at time.

    Flygon (F) @ Rocky Helmet

    Trait: Levitate

    EVs: 252 HP / 228 Def / 28 Spd

    Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)

    - U-turn

    - Dragon Tail

    - Defog

    - Roost


    Flygon is that one pokemon that deals very very well with Victini. I didn't use Leftovers just so I punish Tini from using U-turn, V Create and in general, that can help Flygon crippling very fast Victini, which is good if you need to revenge kill in late game with Fletchinder. Defog is important cause hazards are aids, especially toxic spikes, U turn gives me momentum and dtail helps me stopping some mons from setting up. I added 28evs in speed just so i hit 243, which helps me outspeeding some threats that sit at 242 speed

    Fletchinder (M) @ (No Item)

    Trait: Gale Wings

    EVs: 96 HP / 252 Atk / 160 Spd

    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

    - Acrobatics

    - Will-O-Wisp

    - Swords Dance

    - Roost


    Fletchinder is a very underated mon even though it has a bit less attack then Talonflame. This set is pretty much very classic but Fletch is by definition the definition of late game sweeper, not to mention it can ohko pretty much all Fighting threats of UU such as Infernape or Heracross. Swords Dance is the set up move for late game, I judged Roost useful if people like to phaze me when rocks are up. Wisp cripples a lot of physical threats and so is a very good move to add.

    Aromatisse (F) @ Leftovers

    Trait: Aroma Veil

    EVs: 252 HP / 68 Def / 188 SDef

    IVs: 0 Atk

    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)

    - Wish

    - Protect

    - Heal Bell

    - Moonblast

    Aromatisse is very similar to Florges, it has less spe atk and less spe def, but can do quite much the same job, at the exception it can't be taunted or encored, which can be a big deal with such an archetype. The moves are pretty standard and there's not much to say about it :x

    Aggron (M) @ Aggronite

    Trait: Sturdy

    EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd

    Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)

    - Curse

    - Rest

    - Sleep Talk

    - Heavy Slam

    One pokemon that didn't get banned in LU even though it's a fantastic mon, just need some support to remove stuff like Empoleon, Entei, Heracross ( which i guess i covered in the team). I opted for CroGron cause it's very nasty in late game, and is stupidly bulky after 1 curse. I used Heavy Slam over Iron Head cause Mega Aggron is FAT AF.



    Threats to the team:
    -Chandelure: Click X don't bother playing you can't beat this
    -Feraligatr SD: if it lacks Crunch Slowking tanks it, if it lacks Ice punch Tangrowth checks it, if it lacks Aqua jet, sack Flygon then try revenge killing with Fletchinder or Aggron
    -Your luck, because you're playing Pokémon and you can't get rid of hax :x

    Hope you liked the team, and thanks for @NananaBatman for doing this UU challenge, it was pretty much fun, we just screwed the UU stat but it's ok!

    cool team

    I'd suggest hp ice > hp fire on tangrowth as it allows you mence trying to get a free defog and it also allows you to hit hydreigon and shaymin too.

    and i'm assuming the aromatisse ev spread is so it can take on mega blastoise since hydro doesnt 2hko after rocks and lefties so that would be cool to add.

    I thought of hp ice but then I faced some random Durant and Abomasnow, which is why I thought HP fire might be better to catch these on the switch. I literally forgot the ev spread of Aromatisse, i'm sure I did calcs but w/e
    Thanks for the suggestion though :)
