I haven't been playing UU as much as the other tiers, so this may look scruffy. I took a lot of things into account though and it kinda works at times, but I want to hear some suggestions and see what could work so that I get a better understanding of the tier.
Sceptile @ Sceptilite
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- SolarBeam
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Synthesis
SolarBeam decimates everything that doesn't resist it with a wooping 180 total power backed by baton pass boosts and a gargantuan 145 base Special Attack, however it's only flaw is that it needs sun in order to use it freely which is provided by Combusken. Dragon Pulse cleans everything else off barring Fairy and Steel types. Hidden Power Fire toasts the likes of Forretress, Mega Aggron and Lucario. Synthesis is a great recovery move especially in the sun, feigning Sucker Punches or playing cards with utility mons.
Feraligatr @ Lum Berry
Ability: Sheer Force
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Waterfall
- Dragon Dance
- Crunch
- Earthquake
Waterfall hits extremely hard with Sheer Force and Dragon Dance boosts resisted only by a handful. Crunch OHKOs Espeon and dents Cresselia, especially when boosted. Earthquake has perfect coverage against Electric types and Empoleon looking to phaze Feraligatr out. The Lum Berry grants momentum on status inflictors, giving Feraligatr a free turn to hit hard or dance the match away.
Aerodactyl @ Lum Berry
Ability: Unerve
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Fire Fang
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
With a high speed stat to rely on, Aerodactyl works great in ensuring that he sets up Stealth Rock before anything else. Iron Head puts a dent in Fairy types like Florges and especially BellyPluff - when combined with Unerve it turns Aerodactyl into the perfect counter for it. Fire Fang 2HKOs Focus Sash Galvantula with the slight chance to burn the last one hitpoint away. Toxic spells doom for Blissey lacking Natural Cure or can just be used to put anything barring Steel and Poison types on a timer.
Dagahra (Blastoise) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Rain Dish
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brick Break
- Rapid Spin
- Rain Dance
- Aqua Jet
Brick Break removes screens and can be useful in taking on Steel or Dark types. Aqua Jet is a good priority move with added STAB and a rain boost if it is present. Rapid Spin removes entry hazards, Rain Dance gives Blastoise a better chance at using its priority move while also double-healing it with Rain Dish and Leftovers recovery.
Combusken @ Focus Sash
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Jolly Nature
- Baton Pass
- Work Up
- Sunny Day
- Substitute
Who said Blaziken was the best baton passer in the game? Well, he may be, but his younger brethren is just as good at it in lower tiers like this one. The best part about Combusken is that when it uses Work Up, it can baton pass to any member of the team since it raises both offensive stats and the natural speed boosts come in very handily. Sunny Day is there to support Sceptile's solarbeam, sun-boosted Hidden Power Fire and more HP with the use of Synthesis. It also boosts Hydreigon's Flamethrower and hampers opposing Water types and their STABs. Substitute is a good dice roll to use on suspected utility mons or simply to stall opponents. The Focus Sash is there to make sure Combusken can get a Sunny Day or Work Up in at the very least if it is hit with 99%. It usually manages to get the job done but must watch out for scarf users, sub/sash breakers and priority moves.
Hydreigon @ Lum Berry
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Charge Beam
- Dragon Pulse
- Dark Pulse
- Flamethrower
Charge Beam is an alternative option for raising Special Attack or to finish off weakened opponents while reaping the benefits. Dark and Dragon Pulse are deadly when boosted, the former having a nice 20% to flinch the opponent giving Hydreigon momentum. Flamethrower turns Lucario, Fortress and Mega Aggron into ovens and takes other things on with neutral coverage.
