Hello, one and all. Lately i have been playing Under-Used, and I've built a really effective team. Now, I ask you to rate it, and point out any holes ive missed.

Ambipom@Life orb
Technician
Jolly Nature
252 Att/252 Speed
Fake Out
Double hit
U-Turn
Brick Break

The greatest Lead in Under-Used. Turn one he fake outs, and does a lot of damage, turn two he double hits (thank you technician), which breaks substitutes, and OHKO's weaker pokemon. U-turn is so he can hit and get out in case theres something he cant do that much damage to, and Brick Break is for Registeel and Regirock (as well as all other rock/steel pokemon)


Claydol@Leftovers
Levitate
Bold
252 HP/ 144 Def/ 114 SP def
Earth Power
Shadow Ball
Stealth Rock
Rapid Spin

My Spinner, as well as he setting up the rocks. He has Earth Power for STAB and shadow ball because it hits a lot of everything hard.


Feraligatr@Leftovers
Jolly
Torrent
252 Attack/252 Speed
Waterfall
Ice Punch
Earthquake
Dragon Dance

My Dragon Dancer. He Comes in on a steel type, and dragon Dances up. After one dragon dance he hits very hard, so thats all i will probably get/need. Waterfall for STAB, Ice Punch hits hard, and for coverage (and for those pesky grass types), earthquake is for coverage. Leftovers because i want Feraligatr to survive, not be killed by his life orb

Umbreon@Leftovers
Sassy
Synchronize
252 HP/ 56 Att/200 Defense
Curse
Wish
Yawn
Payback

A physical absorber. Turn one he Wishes, Turn two he Yawns, then Curse, and you repeat the cycle until you hit 6 curses, at which point you sweep with a +6 att/def umbreon

Mismagius@Leftovers
Timid
Levitate
252 SP attack/200 SP def/152 Speed
Substitute
Calm Mind
HP Fighting
Shadow Ball

A Standard Missy. Send her in against a special wall (Read:Chansey), calm minds a few times, and sweeps with HP Fighting and Shadow Ball.

Hypno@Leftovers
Calm
Insomnia
252 HP/ 252 SP Def
HP Fighting
Psychic
Thunder Wave
Wish

My Special Absorber. Psychic STAB, HP Fighting for Coverage, ThunderWave to cripple the opponent and Wish for Health Recovery.

So, what do you think?

I dont know much about UU but it looks awesome.
Ambipom is awesome also :D *wonders if he only picked ambipom because of mine*

My only suggestion would be to replace hypno with ninetales, since it can hypnosis, nasty plot, sweep with flamethrower and energy ball (you need something to hit quagsire.)
 
Just wanted to make a comment about Umbreon... I use that set and it's a BITCH to deal with (In fact I think I indirectly introduced it to Smogon but it's just a suspicion of mine), but I think Protect works better. That gives you a free turn to have some Leftovers recovery, and if you used Wish a turn before, a turn to get half of your health back.
 
Yawn gives him a status move. so he can set up or scare away the counters.
 
Feraligatr could stand to use a Life Orb, but other than that Leftovers is fine on them.
 
dark pokemon can counter thi pretty well. Especially the ones who aren't weak to fighting (like sableye and spiritomb)
 
mijzelffan may be onto something. I have a Sableye that I use on Wi-Fi, and it might be able to do something nasty to this team.

This team laughs off dark types with Neutral Stab moves. I have never had a problem with dark types or the dark/ghost duo.

Hypno is my bulky special sleep absorber. Although I've switched to seismic toss + shadowball combo. Thoughts?

Ice Punch hits harder than Ice Fang, I prefer power

I would like thoughts on Clayfol. Are there better spinners in UU?
 
Hitmontop can take care of your Dark problem as far as Rapid Spinners go. Hypno looks fine.

Sorry I can't be of more help; I don't battle UU (yet).
 
I like it, but try to bulk up umbreon. Many pokemon can take him out while he uses wish, then still have enough power to take out what the wish heals
 
Uh, no, that set is pretty damn near fool-proof. You just need to use the right move at the right time. I think he told me on IRC that he switched Yawn to Protect, so after you Wish, provided you survive that turn (and you most likely will with a Curse or two up), you can Protect the next turn and have half of your health restored. On top of that, the Wish turn plus the Protect turn gives you two turns of Leftovers recovery.
 
Unfortunately, as of today, Umbreon is officially an OU Pokemon (according to smogon at least). Not sure what fits his slot now...

yeah, I noticed too. At least you can now use dugtrio or donphan xD
 
You have great strategy but i think you need a big hitter on your team, may i sugest you get a tyranitar?


also how does the umbrion thing work out for you on wifi, i might consider doing that with mine

you're stupid. Everyone knows tyranitar is in OU, and thus isn't allowed in UU battles.

Tyranitar is OU, not UU. for a list of UU, go here
It works very well on wifi.
With Umbreon being moved up to OU, it no longer works out though.
