Introduction:
Hello everybody! I'm making this RMT to showcase a UnderUsed team that I have designed. It's tons of fun to play with, and doesn't slack in terms of on field utility! This team was mainly built around Pivot Zoroark. It's a quick offensive team, that packs quite a punch. Without further ado, here it is!
Teambuilding:
So first I obviously added Zoroark, as this was primarily what I was going to build my team around.
Next, I wanted a powerful pokemon to back him up. And the first thing that came to mind when I thought of force was most certainly Machamp.
The next thing I wanted was to start building defense. But I also wanted hazards, and the best hazard user in UU who still can defend itself is most certainly Roserade.
Afterwards, I wanted some more power. Since Machamp is here, I thought I probably needed some Special Attack. And for that, look no further than Kingdra.
Now I've kind of got a powerful offensive core going. But to finish off the Dark/Fighting/Psychic core, I needed Cresselia.
Now this is all good. But I still have nothing to counter flying or bug types, or to even get rocks up. And with that in mind, lets bring in the ruler of the earth, Rhyperior.
The Team:
Wolfgang Mozart (Zoroark) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Illusion
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Grass Knot
- Trick
Info: I Changed my original pivot Zoroark to this Specs Set. It was pointed out to me how much more effective this set is. Firstly, I can trick annoying walls such as Umbreon into the Specs, shutting them down. Keeping my Specs, I deal heavy damage with STAB Dark Pulse, and keeping my bases covered with equally powerful Flamethrower and Grass Knots.
Beetle Juice (Heracross) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Guts
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Megahorn
- Earthquake
Info: This thing cannot be legal. With massive attack, it can destroy teams and plow through those big threats that others on my team cower from. After the Choice Scarf, it outspeeds essentially the entire unboosted MetaGame, giving me a huge advantage. Its dual fighting/bug typing takes care of Bug's Stealth Rock issue, and fighting's Psychic problem, giving me confidence to switch and destroy. Close Combat and Megahorn provide amazing Stab, Stone Edge wrecks flying types, and Earthquake rounds out my coverage. An atrocious monster.
Romeo and Juliet (Roserade) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def / 248 HP / 8 Spd
Bold Nature
- Spikes
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Synthesis
Info: Easily one of my favorite pokemon ever. Much like it's little sister Roselia, it is hands-down annoying. I do want to give this Roserade Defensive bulk, as to be honest, it's Special Defense really doesn't need much help. I carry spikes to bring hazards in and out throughout the game to chip away at grounded enemies. Roserade has Giga Drain and Sludge Bomb to defend itself, and Synthesis in case it gets hurt. The reason I run synthesis over Rest, is that I want a more reliable form of recovery, without having to switch out every time to get out of sleep. Natural Cure is to laugh off opponent's statuses.
水龙 (Kingdra) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Hydro Pump
- Surf
- Hidden Power [Electric]
Info: I'm not sure if you've ever ran a Choice Specs Kingdra, but if you have, you are in love with it. While Rain Dance / Life Orb Kingdra is nice, nothing has the power of a Kingdra on the switch, calling a hail of Meteors straight out of the sky. Hydro Pump really is for sheer power, and can take out just about anything, and Ice Beam / Signal Beam give it great coverage against the rest of the tier. This monster can really decimate anything that wants to switch into it's wave of destruction, and really should be dealt with using swift efficiency.
Moonshine (Cresselia) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 220 SDef / 36 SAtk / 252 HP
Calm Nature
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Psyshock
- Substitute
- Moonlight
Info: Easily the best psychic UU can have. It can completely essentially take a Plane to the face, and laugh it off with ease. Literally the most powerful wall to bless the game, it is able to force those offensive sweepers out and get up a substitute, and proceed to wreck-shop with Psyshock and HP Fighting. Feeling a little down? No problem, lets get some moonlight to help out. This thing is an absolute monster, and can nullify an entire team's offensive core. This is one Female you really need to hit.
Construction (Rhyperior) @ Leftovers
Trait: Solid Rock
EVs: 236 HP / 252 SDef / 20 Spd
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Rock Blast
- Megahorn
- Earthquake
Info: Possibly the most reliable stealth rocker in the game next to Forretress and Golem. Rhyperior will make sure rocks are up, and stay up. It completely walls bug and flying pokemon, and can proceed to Rock Blast them to death. Rock Blast also decimates just about any Substitute, and Earthquake destroys just about everything else. If a grass type switches in to deal x4 damage, I can hit them up with that beastly megahorn. Nothing is stopping this monstrosity.
