    I threw this team together for people who want to start playing NU but can't come up with a good team, it's not the best or most creative, but its a start for new players whom may want a head start at the tier

    I'll comment on the medicham lead:

    I use Drain Punch instead of Hi Jump Kick to work against Life Orb recoil. With Medicham's power, the damage is still ridiculous, and you gain recovery.

    Psycho Cut / Zen Headbutt. I prefer the latter, since Drain Punch drops one powerful move so I replace it.

    Ice Punch gives amazing coverage, but Fake Out + Bullet Punch is my main reason to use Medicham LO lead, since it 2KOs a great portion of the metagame without it even moving against you (Stuff that is not 2KO'd are generally handled by the STAB's).

    Also that Regice... Hardy nature? 4 missing EV's? (also on sandslash)

    This isn't really a cookie cutter NU team since Linoone isn't whoring itself out on here.

    I don't see linoone much anymore anywayz

    this isn't an rmt this is just a basic team for people to get into the NU metagame, this isn't one of MY teams, i was only trying to help out

    well to be honest with you i thought it might be easy enough to use

    please avoid triple posting in future, there is an edit button..

    And, it would help new NUers significantly more if you explained the team and polished it a bit (the way you added extra EVs/changed nature means it can't be imported any more...). This forum should be for teams that you know work well for new users to play with, not 3.5 second teams of standard Pokemon without any helpful explanations.
