Since this is my first team in the UU tier, I might need some help with editing my team to make it better, as well as help me learn how to team build in general.

Froslass (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Destiny Bond
- Ice Beam
- Spikes
- Taunt

This is my suicide lead, which is obviously there to set up spikes and maybe get a Destiny Bond up too to take down one of the opponent's pokemon. While using Taunt is great on this set, I find some trouble against priority users, but I guess that's how it goes.

Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Ability: Analytic
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 156 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Tri Attack
- Recover
- Charge Beam

Porygon2 is one of the main pokemon on this set, with it's purpose of being a slow, bulky sweeper to make use of its ability Analytic. Charge Beam boosts my Sp.Att in hopes for a sweep while I have Tri Attack as my main STAB and Shadow ball for coverage. This unpredictable set uses an EV spread so that Defense and Special Defense are both the same stat.

Cloyster @ Focus Sash
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Shell Smash
- Rapid Spin
- Icicle Spear
- Ice Shard

Cloyster is my set up sweeper and my rapid spinner, but I find it illogical to run rapid spin on a sweeper set with focus sash because I always think I'll get KO'd after stealth rock damage, making my Cloyster sometimes useless. I have won some battles because of sweeps with this, though.

Sceptile @ Sceptilite
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Dragon Pulse
- Protect
- Focus Blast

Mega Sceptile plays as a fast special attacker to get an offensive push in the game, and protect can help get a free turn to get its speed going. While I have mostly powerful moves on this set, I've always been wondering whether I should replace Leaf Storm with Giga Drain, since (Mega) Sceptile lacks any good source of recovery, and Giga Drain doesn't get a Sp.Att drop upon usage.

Darmanitan @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Rock Slide
- U-turn
- Superpower

Scarfed Darmanitan is there to play as a fast and powerful physical attacker with a good list of very powerful moves. I'm not sure if this is a good pokemon on this set but I thought it would be good to have a quick physical attacker to get some coverage. Unfortunately, there are some things it can't outspeed despite being scarfed and somehow OHKO's it anyway. Any suggestsions to replace him would be helpful (Arcanine, etc.)

Machamp @ Assault Vest
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Dynamic Punch
- Knock Off
- Stone Edge
- Bullet Punch

Finally, my last pokemon on this set is going to be the good ol' Assault Vest Machamp set. He is here so I can make use of his extremely good moveset and destroy opposing pokemon with dynamic punch, which no one ever likes switching into. He ha been a great poke in the team and probably one that I have no intentions of removing.

So there's my first UU team, it's definitely not the best but it seems to work very well. Any suggestions and improvements are highly appreciated for not only my team, but maybe me and some other people on how to properly team build. Once again, thanks for rating my team.
