Raikou @ Assault Vest
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Rash Nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
IVs: 2 Atk / 30 Def
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Aura Sphere
- Hidden Power [Ice]
The first doge is here - Raikou. Once one of the bigger threats in BWUU, its has dropped down to the depths of RU, but it is just as good as ever in UU. Its ability to Volt Switch out of any situation is the prime reason to use it. Even with a Rash Nature, which is unfortunately force onto Raikou, it can outspeed all positive base 100s by 1 point. An Assault Vest was given to bluff a Choice Item, as well as patching up that SDef that was lowered by Rash. Volt Switch and Thunderbolt are STAB, Aura Sphere hits Steel type Pokemon much harder and scores a 2HKO on standard Defensive Rhyperior. Hidden Power Ice forms a BoltBeam with its STAB moves and offers a reliable method of hitting Ground Pokemon.
Entei @ Choice Band
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Sacred Fire
- Iron Head
- Extreme Speed
- Stone Edge
This doge got a huge buff in this generation. Not only does it look more badass with that tail flowing, it has a more reliable STAB option in Sacred Fire. Not only does it not have the recoil Flare Blitz has, it has an incredible 50% chance to burn. Entei also has a handy resistance to Fairy, which is further strengthened by the usage of iron Head, which also hits Rock Pokemon fairly hard. Extreme Speed is my only form of prioritym but coming off a Choice Banded Entei does do a fair amount. Stone Edge hits opposing Fire Pokemon and is the only move Entei carries that can deal with Water Pokemon.
Suicune @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Calm Mind
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
CroCune is one of the best doges there is, mainly because of Suicunes great bulk. This allows Suicune to set up Calm Mind without too much trouble, and Rest off all the damage and still be active through Sleep Talk. Scald, although it seems poor, has the chance to burn, wearing down the opponents down a lot faster. In addition, Suicune's Pressure ability PP stalls fairly easily.
Mew @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 108 Def / 148 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Knock Off
- Stealth Rock
- Defog
- Soft-Boiled
Ohai, its me. Mew, being the versatile Pokemon it is, is the Defensive wall in my team. It provides hazard support through Stealth Rock, and Defogs opposing hazards away. Knock Off allows me to cripple Pokemon that rely on their items, as well as getting rid of annoying Leftovers. Finally, Soft-Boiled recovers half my health, and is used over Roost since Roost shares a Flying type with Defog.
Flygon (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Fire Punch
- Outrage
- Earthquake
One of the best Scarfers in the tier in BWUU, and still is in XYUU. Its great typing forces switches, and its access to U-turn allows it to pivot easily. Fire Punch gets rid of Steel Pokemon. Outrage and Earthquake are my STAB moves, and are generally saved for use at the end of the battle, as U-turn is easily spammable an forms a VoltTurn combo with Raikou.
Florges @ Leftovers
Ability: Flower Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
IVs: 0 Atk
- Wish
- Protect
- Aromatherapy
- Moonblast
The cleric for the team. As most of the team hates status and have no way of recovery, Florges heals up status using Aromatherapy, and Wishpasses health to them. Moonblast is my STAB of choice, as it lowers SAtk as well. Florges' base 147 SDef acts like a glue for the team, as it lets Florges take just about every Special move and heal off the damage easily.
