Rate my Gen 9 NatDex UU Team!

Question

Night Slash (Bisharp) (M) @ Eviolite
Ability: Defiant
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Power-Up Punch
- Night Slash
- Psycho Cut
- Iron Head
> This is a somewhat bulky, speedy sweeper? Power-Up Punch is for the setup, but against Ghost-types that's immune Night Slash is still good STAB. Although Knock Off might be superior, I prefer Night Slash as it has more power and heightened crit chance. Tera Fighting is to heighten the power of Power-Up Punch.

Brick Break (Iron Hands) @ Leftovers
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SPD
- Drain Punch
- Thunder Punch
- Earthquake
- Play Rough
> I used to run Ice Punch in replace for Earthquake, but I feel like Ground has better coverage than Ice. I ran Thunder Punch over Wild Charge because of the paralysis chance, and no recoil. (I know, still a terrible reason to use it) Play Rough is nice coverage to have.

Wave Crash (Floatzel) (M) @ Shell Bell
Ability: Water Veil
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ice Spinner
- Brick Break
- Wave Crash
- Tera Blast
> Ice Spinner is coverage for the Grass types that threaten both of this Pokémon's Tera and original type. Brick Break used to be Power-Up Punch, but then I realized it isn't good for this Pokémon. Wave Crash is for the great Water STAB and the recoil is helped greatly by Shell Bell. This is more of a fast sweeper set.

Searing Shots (Victini) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Victory Star
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dazzling Gleam
- Searing Shot
- Shadow Ball
- Psychic
> Shadow Ball is great coverage, along with Dazzling Gleam. Tera Fairy gives you a boost for Dazzling Gleam, and you get coverage for all your weaknesses if you Tera. Psychic is good STAB. Another sweeper set.

Magic Shock (Porygon2) @ Eviolite
Ability: Analytic
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tri Attack
- Shadow Ball
- Psychic
- Recover
> A bulky set with great coverage. Tri Attack is great STAB offering a chance to inflict great status ailments. Recover is amazing healing. Psychic is coverage for Fighting types.

Sableye-Mega @ Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off
- Thunder Wave
- Will-O-Wisp
> This is the physical staller set. Will-O-Wisp cripples physical attackers, and Thunder Wave destroys speedy sweepers like Beedrill, Zapdos, etc. Drain Punch is for recovery, and Knock Off is a great utility move.

Why is Iron Hands missing 4 EVs? Also, why use Porygon2 without Eviolite?

---

What kind of team is this team supposed to be? (Balance, Bulky Offense, etc) This team looks like you put 6 Pokemon you liked together tbh.

these movesets are awful.

Answer 1

-Bisharp: Bisharp is built to be a bulky attacker and not speedy. by investing in speed instead of bulk bisharp loses a lot of its value and thus i think u should invest in hp instead of speed. also use knock off over night slash, sd over power up punch, and sucker punch over psycho cut

-Iron Hands: Why do u need fairy coverage? Just use ice punch over play rough and the set is good.

-Floatzel: This thing is useless if its not in rain. If u want a strong water type just use keldeo.

-Victini: Honestly dont know why u chose this thing. If u want an offensive fire type ceruledge, blaziken, cinderace, and h arcanine are better options or if u value the psychic type more use gking to give the team a better defensive backbone

-P2: P2 is a decent mon but if u want a defensive attacker u already have 2 bisharp and hands. but if u want another h goodra is a better choice.

-M Sable: This isnt good unless ur running stall. best mega in the tier imo is beedril

Hope I could help

I used to run Beedrill, but I doubted if it was good. Thanks for the feedback!

---

no assault vest on iron hands despite no status moves?

---

i dont rly think it needs it because goodra has like a bazillion spdef

---

Iron Hands' Sp Def is only 68 :/

Mega Beedrill shouldn't be used on this team (or in NatDex UU in general) since it ends up using U-turn 90% of the time, requiring really good hazard control on the team. However, the team has no hazard removal, so Mega Beedrill should be replaced.
