Well, I play Shoddy and i recently became interested in the UU ladder. I thought that a double screen/ddance set could work, but i rarely win. Here's my team and i like you to give me a few suggestion. Im very used to play OU and Uber, so i need some tips for UU

Uxie@Light Clay
-Light Screen
-Reflect
-Stealth Rock
-U-Turn
Impish-252Hp/252Def/4Spe
Classic double screen to support my other pokés to set-up

Blaziken@Life Orb
-Agility
-HP Electric
-Sky Uppercut(i hate the secondary effect of Superpower)
-Fire Blast
Rash-192Atk/64Spe/252SpA
I switch on something i scare, agility on the switch then just attack

Altaria@Lefties
-Dragon Dance
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Heal Bell
Adamant-252Atk/252Spe/4SpD
Classic ddancer, but i gave it heal bell cause i dont have another cleric. I always use a cleric on my teams

Donphan@Lefties
-Rapid Spin
-Ice Shard
-Earthquake
-Roar
Adamant-52Hp/252Atk/204Def
Rapid Spinner/Shuffler. Ice Shard mainly for Altaria

Feraligatr@Lefties
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Earthquake
-Ice Punch
Adamant-28Hp/252Atk/228Spe
Classic Dance but with Lefties to let it stay longer. When i used life orb, Feraligatr always quickly fainted to priority and sometimes to weather

Mesprit@Lefties
-Thunder Wave
-Toxic
-Knock Off
-Psychic
A generic support Poké

I used to run a sub-charge beam alakazam instead of blaziken. Please suggest some other pokés besides the ones i mentioned

Thanks for your help:awww:
 
I can see your team is very weak to Taunt, so lead Ambipom would be a problem. I'd suggest maybe putting Mach Punch on Blaziken to get rid of it. Also I would get the SD Feraligatr because Moltres could cause some serious damage here and Aqua Jet could help you get rid of it(especially if you can keep SR up). Also another thing is Ludicolo in the rain could sweep this team. I would suggest maybe Chansey or Toxicroak. :/ hope that helps you out.
 
You'd need to provide more details on where this set has and hasn't done good in for anyone to give you a full on or accurate rate, but what the hell, here's my opinion.

Uxie@Light Clay
-Light Screen
-Reflect
-Stealth Rock
-U-Turn
Impish-252Hp/252Def/4Spe
Pretty annoying set to deal with, I'd imagine. With the majority of Physical leads, I'm sure you get plenty of time to set up Rocks, and maybe even a Screen or two. U-Turn is good for scouting, but generally it's not as good on slower users (Base 95 Speed is in no way slow by the way, but no input for Speed won't help much). I can see Toxicroak/Houndoom giving this set problems, especially the Nasty Plot kind.

Blaziken@Life Orb
-Agility
-HP Electric
-Sky Uppercut(i hate the secondary effect of Superpower)
-Fire Blast
Rash-192Atk/64Spe/252SpA
Agreed, lack of Close Combat really sucks for Blaziken. Just one of many things that makes Infernape better. >.> Lanturn and Quagsire will make short work of this set though, considering they don't care much about the Speed boost and are usually built heavy in Defense. You won't be seeing too many Quagsire though, so I'd consider replacing HP Electric with Earthquake, considering you'd get better coverage (In which case, you may want to build around some Attack investment).

Also, Sky Uppercut's accuracy will be much worse than Superpower. You're already running a set that doesn't care too much about defenses or HP, and you still have Fire Blast to score good damage after the Attack drop. All in all, have you considered a Mix Scarf set?


Altaria@Lefties
-Dragon Dance
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Heal Bell
Adamant-252Atk/252Spe/4SpD
Altaria is one of the worst Dragon Dancers in my opinion because of how hard it is to make a Physical Sweeper. Base 80 Speed is average, and Base 70 Attack is below average, so even after one Dragon Dance, it's just slightly above average, and with no bulk investment (Dual Screens =/= Guaranteed Bulk), it's likely to take a LOT of damage. Natural Cure can take care of Altaria's status problems, so I'd go for Roost>Heal Bell, to help stall out Ice Beamers.

Donphan@Lefties
-Rapid Spin
-Ice Shard
-Earthquake
-Roar
Adamant-52Hp/252Atk/204Def
Roar is a great pHaze move, especially on the likes of Donphan. It may not be the best Spinner, but it's still something. Mismagius completely ruins this guy though, so make sure you bring a counter.

Feraligatr@Lefties
-Dragon Dance
-Waterfall
-Earthquake
-Ice Punch
Adamant-28Hp/252Atk/228Spe
Feraligatr is a better Dragon Dancer than Altaria, it's sad to say. It can still only barely hope to reach the so-so Speed marks Altaria makes, but with a much more pleasing offensive output. Maybe go Max Speed (Jolly/252 Speed EVs) to help make those Speed marks. Maybe even try Life Orb to make those damage outputs a little higher.

Mesprit@Lefties
-Thunder Wave
-Toxic
-Knock Off
-Psychic
Mesprit and Uxie on the same team, huh? Nice xD. First off, Natures and EVs should be included. Secondly, this seems like the kind of support role that Uxie would be more suited to do. Dual Status is a great way to screw up a team though, so if it works, more power to you. Things like Burn Orb Milotic really mess up this set though, considering Psychic is the only useful thing to use against it (assuming that Burn Orb has already activated), and with Milotic's Special Bulk, Mesprit can't expect to win that Stall fight (especially considering that specific Milotic will probably use Recover too).

All in all, you need to watch out for Toxicroak, Mismagius, Milotic, and probably just fast things in general (Sceptile, Alakazam, Swellow, Dugtrio, etc.)
 
I can see that you would have problems with Milotic, who is the most used Pokemon in the tier and would give a good portion of your team trouble. Therefore, I would support getting rid of Altaria, who doesn't look to serve any good purpose on your team and is redundant with Gatr.

I also don't think that Donphan is truly necessary, since with Froslass banned nobody really sets up anything more than rocks, which doesn't severely cripple anything on your team.

You would also do well to Scarf Blaziken who would serve your team better as a revenge killer than an Agility sweeper. I think the problem with your team is that you try to set up too much and I can see that you could easily get overwhelmed. In short, you need a bit more offense.
 
I went with Uxie-support set, Blaziken MixScarf,Cleric Altaria, Calm Mind Bro, Same set with Gatr, and Registeel support
