Hello to my NU RMT. As you all know, I suck at NU. But I then made a team, and it turned out pretty successful, but not super. So I've been using this team, and it has been my main NU team for a while, and I don't see a reason to change it anytime soon. So with that said, let's get to the team:
_____
Ampharos @ Choice Specs
![enter image description here][1]
Trait: Static
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 HP
Modest Nature
- Focus Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Signal Beam
The power from Specs is amazing. It can honestly 2HKO anything not resisting it. And the 252 HP EVs give it enough bulk to take a hit or two. Focus Blast can hit steels hard. Thunderbolt is my main STAB, and along with Specs can hit tremendously hard. Volt Switch is to scout, and since half the time I start off with this lead, is extremely useful. Signal Beam is just an add on to hit psychics.

Lickilicky @ Leftovers
![enter image description here][2]
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 HP / 60 Def / 196 SDef
Impish Nature
- Return
- Heal Bell
- Wish
- Dragon Tail
This honestly was a big debate between Miltank or this. In the end, this guy won, it's extremely useful with Wish and Dragon Tail. Heal Bell is dead useful, and return is just a good attacking move, and it's good because I'm not really investing in attack. Dragon Tail come sin handy when something's trying to set up. Lickililicky usually has enough bulk to take one hit and use Dragon Tail.

Musharna @ Leftovers
![enter image description here][3]
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Moonlight
- Psychic
- Signal Beam
Musharna is honestly the best wall in NU. It can wall physical attacks, and when it gets up Calm Mind it can wall special ones too. Also, Calm Mind can boost Psychic to amazing levels of power, and Signal Beam is for other psychic types. Moonlight is to gain that HP.
___
Rapidash @ Choice Scarf
![enter image description here][4]
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 HP / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Wild Charge
- Megahorn
- Drill Run
I needed a good scarfer. and while Sawk is good, it's too common and therefore has too many counters, at least for me when I tried it. Same as Rotom-F. Rapidash can abosrb fire attacks, and is great paired up with the other members of the team. Flare Blitz is a powerful move that can KO lots of Pokemon, and Wild Charge can do the same to water types. Megahorn can hit unsuspecting psychic types, and Drill Run hits other fire types hard.
___
Cradily (M) @ Leftovers
![enter image description here][5]
Trait: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP / 200 SDef / 56 Def
Bold Nature
- Stockpile
- Stealth Rock
- Giga Drain
- Recover
Cradily is the perfect water counter, which this team isn't liking very much, unfortunately, water types also carry Ice Beam sometimes, but after a few Stockpiles that problems over :) Stealth Rock is pretty useful to the team, shutting down Sash's and Sturdy. Giga Drain comes in nicely after the SpA boost due to Storm Drain. recover is for health, though I'm debating whether to switch it for Toxic.
_____
Golurk @ Life Orb
![enter image description here][6]
Trait: No Guard
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Rock Polish
- DynamicPunch
- Stone Edge
- Shadow Punch
Golurk is great for a late game sweep, though it doesn't look like it, Rock Polish can actually make this guy pretty fast. DynamicPunch is pretty powerful, I really like the confusion it gives to people. Stone Edge or Earthquake, though is the question. I chose Stone Edge for now, it has been more handy than Earthquake, but sometimes it fails me. Shadow Punch is my STAB move, cleans up nicely.
_____
So anyway, there's my NU team. I hope it's good, it certainly has been a pretty sucsessful team.
