Was this posted somewhere else by mistake? It's called Caesium Power because Caesium is a metal that explodes when water touches it - as does this team, bar Amoonguss.

Alakazam @ Focus Sash
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Psychic
- Signal Beam
- Counter
- Taunt
My "lead". It either taunts or it counters, depending on whether the opposing Pokemon is either a defensive/SR lead or a strong physical attacker. Most RU leads are one of the above.
Amoonguss @ Leftovers
Trait: Effect Spore
EVs: 252 HP / 208 Def / 48 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Spore
- Stun Spore
- Giga Drain
- Synthesis
A dual powderer Amoonguss. That is, Spore and then Stun Spore. Clear Smog also helps.
Hitmonlee @ Life Orb
Trait: Limber
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SAtk)
- Rapid Spin
- Hi Jump Kick
- Stone Edge
- Foresight
Sayonara Hitmonchan, you just weren't good enough for the firelord. Hitmonlee on the other hand is invaluable.
Sceptile @ Flight Gem
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Leaf Blade
- Earthquake
- Acrobatics
The first part of what I call the Holy Trinity of RU Attackers. Sceptile, once it gets going, can either OHKO the meta or outspeed it, depending on whether Swords Dance comes before Acrobatics or vice versa.
Yanmega @ Life Orb
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hardy Nature
- Bug Buzz
- Air Slash
- Hypnosis
- Protect
Part Two of the Trinity. Yanmega is a staple on any RU team. It's Speed Boost, which helps it beat everything else. Bug and Flying are only double-resisted by a handful of Pokemon (looking down the offensive threat list, only Rhyperior fits that description).
Kagutsuchi (Entei) @ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Flare Blitz
- ExtremeSpeed
- Stone Edge
- Toxic
And, finally, the Pokemon that I use even on Uber teams, the Pokemon that attracted me to RU, the Pokemon that TOTALLY OUTCLASSES ARCANINE WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT CLOSE COMBAT, yes, I mean Kagutsuchi. Sorry, I mean Entei. (But it deserves to be called Kagutsuchi).
A word about Entei. One of the complaints about it is that it has a rubbish movepool. It doesn't. For instance: look at the attack types it can perform competently (that means above 70 base power):
Fire, Grass, Ghost, Normal, Psychic, Rock, Steel. And Arcanine: Dark, Electric, Fighting, Fire, Grass, Normal, Steel. That's seven-all. Tie. And, Entei can boost all stats except Phys Defense, whereas Arcanine can only boost Attack and Speed. And don't mention abilities. Entei has better stats. Entei wins.
PS. In a battle, Entei would always beat Arcanine because of speed + Stone Edge.
