because primeape is NOT walled by Chansey. i think its a very good point hereAlso Flygon >>>>>>> Primeape, so if you could provide logs to show why STAB Close Combat is so much better than STAB Earthquake, I'd be all ears.

Almost every good UU team has a strong Fighting-type, whether it be Heracross, Cobalion, Gallade, or what have you. so that point is moot.fighting is A LOT LESS COMMON THEN IN OU
Regice, although having 80 HP compared to walrein's 110, has 10 more in physical defense (yeah yeah not much), and 110 more in SP.D (Which is quite a bit.) But Tbh... Pure Ice is better typing then Ice/Water, having less weaknesses, (although less resistences). It also has access to charge beam for psuedo boltbeam/setup, which walrein dosen't, with 5 more in SP.A (which is not much), but still, all it's stats overall make it better (other then in physical defense) then walrein. It can still function outside of Hail tho, even in UU, where steel is... just Escavalier pretty much, fighting is A LOT LESS COMMON THEN IN OU, Rock? Got me there. But then again, you generally won't keep Regice in on a physical sweeper. Especially ones that set up. Regice has a decent amount of options and can be used as more of a tank, not a staller, so the need of "Reliable healing" is not TOO nessisary compared to things that are purely needed for stall.
Okay. I admit defeat... Lol. I tried it out. It wasen't too good in UU. NU, pretty nice, but trash in UU.Regice is slow, predictable, and incredibly easy to counter. It's outclassed at EVERY SINGLE THING it can do; there is no other way to put it, nor any reason to use it in UU.
Glaceon and Rotom-F are better Blizzard users, and Chansey will always be a better special sponge.
Give up on Regice; it simply isn't going to happen in UU.
I have to agree with this. I didn't even realize leafeon was on this list. It can be used Defensively or offensively pretty efficiently. There's no reason to have it here.I plead for Leafeon to get an analysis.
Leafeon has high physical bulk, very high attack and higher speed than Roserade. It has solid healing in Synthesis and an awesome boosting move in Swords Dance. It can also abuse Sunny Day to great effect with Leaf Guard or Chlorophyll. If these arguments aren't enough to push Leafeon over the line, I'll provide logs with its effect.
If Leafeon does get an analysis, I'd like to do it :).

Probably a dumb question, but Dunsparce is probably never going to be worth an analysis, correct?
Sure, okay. Mew can carry Psyshock. But Mew is forced to use up two moveslots to beat Steels, Snorlax and Chansey, while Musharna can do relatively well against them with only Stored Power (Aura Sphere does like 20% unboosted against Snorlax, which kinda sucks).@Above
"Mew is once again failing to do anything without Aura Sphere"
Keep in mind that Mew has Psyshock, and as you said yourself many carry Aura Sphere
We're talking about comparing bulky Calm Mind sets here, so Nasty Plot isn't really relevant. Mew only has 4 moveslots. It's basically forced to use Calm Mind and Roost / Solfboiled for the first two. As I noted previously, Mew needs the second two slots for Psyshock or Psychic and Aura Sphere, so it can't feasibly fit Taunt onto its moveset.To add on, Mew ups its stats easier since it has Nasty Plot
To add, on Mew in only effective as a CM-er since it is 3 times faster than Musharna and hence can Taunt in case it is going to get phazed, and Musharna would have to watch its boost disappear.
Actually, Musharna sets up on Registeel, and Empoleon can't do anything if it doesn't have Roar (though granted, that's pretty common). Unchoiced Escavalier can't KO with Megahorn immediately, and Musharna outspeeds and can Baton Pass to CM Cobalion or something.Also, as you said yourself, it can't get past Dark types, which are relatively common in UU, and also don't forget Steel types.
Hail is relatively common right now, yes, but it's not like OU levels where the weather is on every team. There's a good chunk of UU teams who aren't hail or sand, and Moonlight is sufficient against them.Next, Moonlight is not "realiable" as you may call it with Abomasnow running around, and the low PP.
Unless the Houndoom you face doesn't invest at all in Speed, Mew does not outspeed with Bold 252 / 252. Also, in a common scenario, Mew or Musharna should be at +1 or something while the Houndoom is at +0, since both Pokemon can Calm Mind as Houndoom switches in. At this point, Houndoom is really not too troublesome, so they can set up another Calm Mind. Assuming the Houndoom took the opportunity to Nasty Plot, Houndoom will 2HKO both Psychics. In Mew's case, it'll have to Aura Sphere, whereas Musharna can Baton Pass the boosts to something else. Both Pokemon have ways to deal with Houndoom; it's just that instead of killing it outright, Musharna can Baton Pass.Despite Musharna tanking Dark Pulse better than Mew, Mew had the ability to set up another CM before it gets hit, or it can just kill Houndoom before it uses Dark Pulse, while Musharna would have to die from 2 of which.
Eh, Mew can't really sweep with just Psychic the way Musharna can. Like, at +6, Mew is just 2HKOing Snorlax, and it gets stalled out by Chansey. I will say that Musharna and Mew's Calm Mind sets are very similar, but I think Musharna is different enough to deserve an analysis.Lastly, Mew possesses Baton Pass too, and also an ability to +2 in each stat.
Overall, Musharna is just outclassed by Mew
