I chose just recently to get back into this game, and since I hate Latias and the state of OU right now, I decided to return back to the UU metagame.
I have always like Torterra and decided to build a team around him. You don't build teams around leech seeders and stealth rock sets, so I decided to attempt to sweep with him. Rock polish allows him to sweep with his 109 attack and stab wood hammer and earthquake, with stone edge for perfect converage as a bonus. Throw on a life orb, and this can seriously wreck teams, as long as you remove bulky psychics (uxie) and bulky grasses (tangrowth, venusaur can kind of be an issue, but not much). On to the team.
Uxie@Leftovers
Bold
252 HP - 252 Def - 6 Hp
-Psychic
-Stealth Rock
-Uturn
-Thunder Wave
Uxie is a very reliable lead, and always manages to make it to the later stages of the game. People don't seem to realize psychic does reasonable damage, for example, cloyster gets two layers of spikes up while 3hko it with psychic. I'm considering putting a few more EV's into spec attack to maybe net some more KO's. Rocks go up, support the team with T-Wave, and switched into fighting and ground attacks for registeel later on.
Blaizken@Life Orb
Mild
252 Spec Atk - 252 Speed - 6 Hp
-Fire Blast
-Hidden Power Grass
-Vacuum Wave
-Super Power
Blaizken is the wall breaker, he can switch in on something setting up rocks like steelix, throw out a hidden power grass and manage to catch a bulky water a large amount of the time. He doesn't tend to stick around for too long, but if played correctly (not with impatience), he can do a helluva a lot of damage and weaken the teams walls and center pieces to take some of the load off of everyone else.
Milotic@Leftovers
Calm
252 Hp - 176 Def - 80 Spec Atk
-Surf
-Toxic
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
Milotic is supposed to be the glue for the team and obligatory bulky water, but has been fairly innefective, whether its the set or not idk. Usually a blissey will switch in and get to status something as surf and toxic don't do anything to it. Any advice here is appreciated.
Registeel@leftovers
Careful
252 Hp - 102 Atk - 156 Def
-Iron Head
-Earthquake
-Thunder wave
-Ice Punch
Registeel is my last defensive piece, and has good synergy with Uxie. He can be a default switch in for so many offensive threats and attack appropriately or T wave to let someone else take care of them later. He has done alright but could be modified if the proposal is a good idea.
Drapion@Choice Band
Jolly
252 Atk - 252 Speed - 6 HP
-Night Slash
-Earthquake
-Ice Fang
-Pursuit
Drapion was supposed to help me with those psychics that venusaur hates, and just an offensive threat all together, but has become the guy I'm looking for a replacement for. He doesn't get too many switch ins, and pursuit has only been effective a few times. Suggestions are appreciated
Torterra@Life Orb
Adamant
252 Attk - 252 Speed - 6 HP
-Wood Hammer
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Rock Polish
The star of the team, always manages to get a kill, often more than that, the team around him needs more tweaking. I am considering liechi berry but idk if he needs the power off life orb. Wood Hammer seriously wrecks, but militank can handle him quite easily. Has claimed many un prepared teams. Hates tangrowth and venusaur though.
