UU team help

Question

I will be using this team for Pokemon showdown uu tier battles, and I would like suggestions for how to improve. I also have not yet decided on a 6th pokemon and would like suggestions on what it would be (I would like it to be a Flying/Steel type that does not share one of its types with another). Here is the team:

Galvantula @ Focus Sash
Ability: Compound Eyes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Sticky Web
- Thunder
- Bug Buzz
- Energy Ball

Tentacruel @ Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 240 HP / 244 Def / 24 Spe
Bold Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic Spikes
- Scald
- Sludge Bomb

Chesnaught @ Leftovers
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Synthesis
- Drain Punch
- Seed Bomb

Chandelure @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Flamethrower
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
- Trick

Krookodile @ Dread Plate
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- Taunt
- Pursuit

Comments

Why aren't you using a life orb on Krookodile? The residual damage isn't very much compared to the boosts that it gives.

I used to not like life orb, but after playing some random battles, I think  I might try it.

Give Krookodile a choice scarf. Also, give Chestnaught more evs in defense. its too open to attacks as it is. Try Drain Punch, Spiky shield, leech seed, substitute. with leftovers of course.

Why would I give Krookodile a choice scarf if it knows taunt? And Chandelure is also holding a choice scarf. Also, I included Chesnaught for hitting water types and it can't do it without a grass type move, but I do like your spiky shield suggestion. Might replace spikes with it.

Hey! This is a solid team, well done!

Your team has a weakness to Rock, Flying, and Fire, so I think a good Pokemon to fill in your last slot would be Aerodactyl-Mega. It's incredibly strong, and can cover most of your team's weaknesses. Use this set:

Aerodactyl @ Aerodactylite
Ability: Unnerve
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Wing Attack
- Earthquake
- Roost

• On Galvantula, I'd use Thunder Wave > Giga Drain to slow down set-up sweepers.
• Give Krookodile Moxie alongside Life Orb.
• On Chesnaught, run this set instead:

Chesnaught @ Leftovers
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Spiky Shield
- Drain Punch

The rest of the team is alright, so good job!

Nice job! And the suggested pokemon does not share a type with another! But can I use Aerial Ace instead of wing attack? They are the same thing, exempt one never misses.

Well, you can use Aerial Ace if you want! But, Wing Attack has much more PP, so it will last longer.
