Title says it all.

On to the team.

[LEAD]DATKING the Nidoking@Focus Sash
Stats:
~80HP/252SPATK/176SPE
Ability:
~Poison Point
Nature:
~Modest
Moveset:
~Earth Power
~Ice Beam
~Stealth Rock
~Taunt

Eh what to say? It's a lead, sets up Rocks, Taunts other leads that are slower and are known to set shit up. Ice Beam is for coverage and Earth Power is for STAB. Nidoking is a very good offensive Pokemon and a quite decent lead.

[THE TROLL] FuckBliss the Clefable@ Toxic Orb
Stats:
~252HP/252ATK/4SPE
Ability:
~Magic Guard
Nature:
~Adamant
Moveset:
~Facade
~Meteor Mash
~Protect
~Softboiled

Fable comes in, people think "haha a wall", and I just Protect for the Orb to activate, then Meteor Mash(to raise attack) or Facade. Nothing really to say here either, just a physical sweeper who kicks some major ass to be honest.

[CALM MIND-ER] BarbieDoll the Claydol@Lefties
Stats:
~252HP/108DEF/52SPE/96SPATK
Nature:
~Bold
Moveset:
~Calm Mind
~Earth Power
~Rest
~Shadow Ball

Another "omg its a wall" Pokemon. It can take some damn decent hits and I keep setting up Calm Mind and Rest up until I have enough and feel confident enough that I can sweep. I'm still kinda "meh" on Shadow Ball though..

[PHYSICAL SWEEPER] DATGATORADE the Feraligatr@Life Orb
Stats:
~28HP/252ATK/228SPE
Nature:
~Adamant
Moveset:
~Dragon Dance
~EQ
~Ice Punch
~Waterfall

*sigh* nothing much to say here either...DD up, and sweep. Moves are for coverage and Life Orb adds more power to the punch. I mean +1 Waterfall OHKO'd Shuckle and Chansey without a crit and those are notorious for their defenses and etc. Honestly my favorite UU sweeper of all time..ALL TIME!

[WALL] Stalin the Registeel@Lefties
Stats:
~252HP/100ATK/156SPDEF
Nature:
~Careful
Moveset:
~EQ
~Explosion
~Iron Head
~Thunder Wave

Wall. That's it, it just walls things and goes boom. It's like a nerdy kid at school that you keep hitting and at the end when he gets pissed off he just explodes in your face. I don't have SR there because Nidoking ALWAYS sets them up and idc about spinners.

[HIPPIE]Smoke2Joints the Weezing@Black Sludge
Stats:
~252HP/252DEF/4SPATK
Nature:
~Bold
Moveset:
~Fire Blast
~Pain Split
~Thunderbolt
~Will-O-Wisp

Physical wall, and in my opinion the best one in Pokemon. Wisp is for the physical sweepers, Fire Blast and T-Bolt are coverage and Pain Split is for healing. So far this wall NEVER failed me against a physical sweeper.

Rate away kiddies.
 
Registeel should have curse to boost it's attack and defence abilities more.

p.s. clever nicknames!
 
Wow so many defensive Pokes, it's amazing this isn't a stall team (Why isn't it?). Have you tried Swords Dance Feraligatr lately? I have been using him with Aqua Jet and it can be amazing. I made a bulkier spread so he gets more chances to Dance.

I don't really know too much about UU right now. I built my UU team recently to play against OU with, so I'm more in sync with what's going on there.

Why Focus Sash on the Nidoking? Can you 2HKO Uxie with Ice Beam? Seems like Nidoking is bulky enough to not immediately die to other UU leads.

I'd probably have to play against it to make more suggestions, it's kind of a weird stall team that doesn't win via entry hazards / status. Props for that Clefable though, one of the most versatile Pokemon there is.

And I wouldn't recommend Curse on Registeel unless you are going to change the whole set.

No, in fact, that Nidoking can't even 4HKO any Uxie set on Smogon.
 
If you would like a bulky lead, then perhaps use Nidokings counterpart, Nidoqueen. I use one myself and find it a great lead. It, like Nidoking, loses to any Uxie lead. However, it can work against other leads, but Froslass may give it hell which is never good.

Nidoqueen @ Lum Berry
Relaxed Nature (Bold can work too)
252 HP / 216 Def / 40 Spe
-Earthquake
-Stealth Rock/Toxic Spikes
-Earthquake / Ice Beam
-Aerial Ace / Fire Blast.
If you decide to use Bold Nature, then go with Ice Beam and Fire Blast. Otherwise, take your pick.

I hate stall teams and I just like the Wall/Tank Pokemon in UU...

So Jolly Gator with SD, Aqua Jet, EQ and Ice Punch? I mean I gave him DD just so I can build up speed.

Sash on the Nidoking was recommended by Smogon for the lead Nidoking set, so I took it. I'll probably put Life Orb on it since a lot of Pokes have Fake Out in UU.

I hate Nidoqueen so I'm not even gonna try it. Bu thank you for the suggestion, much appreciated.
 
I use the same Feraligatr in ou and it completely sweeps. I find I never use DD but that's usually because I usually have about 4 speed boosts and a sword dance or two. In ou Ice Punch, EQ and Waterfall have superb coverage!
 
Since Cress and PZ are now UU there is no way this team will be any good. I will have to re-think a whole new team probably.

Run Curse/ Rest/ Sleep Talk/ Iron Head on Registeel and you have your Cresselia check as well as a decent Porygon Z check (those who dont have nasty plot or trick)

at the moment you dont really have anything fast that can beat pokemon with a base speed equal to or >90. I'm thinking you should probably replace Claydol as its pretty crappy in the UU metagame ATM, it dosent have the offense to dish out enough damage to stuff and gets completly destroyed by strong physical and special attackers such as Mismagius, Venusaur and heck even Moltres. I think replacing Claydol with something like a Absol or Drapion could benefit you, if you are so paranoid about cress.

Absol @ Life Orb
252 Att/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP Jolly
Megahorn
Superpower
Sucker Punch
Swords Dance/ Filler

Drapion @ Life Orb
252 Att/ 4 HP/ 252 Spe
Swords Dance
Earthquake
night Slash/ Crunch
taunt can help prevent Cresselia paralyze you or set up Calm minds

I would recommend Drapio as its faster than Absol and can help you handle Cress a bit better
