Yeah, a UU team, with 2 NU's. I'm not greatly experienced in UU (I usually go mixed-tier), but let's see how I do.

SharKing the Sharpedo
Adamant / Focus Sash / Rough Skin
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Aqua Jet
- Earthquake
252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP

How dare you, Smogon! Sharpedo shouldn't be NU, it should stay UU! But ranting aside, it's an attacking lead. Sure, my foes can still get a Stealth Rock on me, but I have Claydol. This can usually rip apart a lead that doesn't have considerable bulk.

フルインビ (Furuinbi) the Claydol
Sassy / Leftovers / Levitate
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Reflect
- Stealth Rock
252 HP, 252 Sp. Defense, 6 Defense

A piece of bulk, this thing is. It's my Spinner, and it can lay Stealth Rock itself. It can also set up Reflect, and hurt the foe with Earthquake. Believe it or not, it has perfect Sp. Defense IVs, giving it 372 Sp. Defense!

Shimotome the Froslass
Timid / Life Orb / Snow Cloak
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Taunt
- Confuse Ray
252 Sp. Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP

I love this thing. And I get to use it now that Froslass is UU! It has BoltBeam to nab a quick kill on weakened foes, and it has Taunt to cripple walls. I use Confuse Ray when I'm predicting a switch.

Beach Ball the Azumarill
Adamant / Sitrus Berry / Huge Power
- Aqua Jet
- Ice Punch
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
252 HP, 252 Attack, 6 Defense

Slow, bulky, and powerful. A great Sub-Puncher. It's a wrecking ball; it wrecked Scizor once. Aqua Jet for powerful priority, and Ice Punch for coverage.

デンヒツジ (Denhitsuji) the Ampharos
Timid / Choice Scarf / Static
- Thunderbolt
- Signal Beam
- Power Gem
- Thunder Wave
252 Sp. Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP

It's a Scarfaros. Much like Froslass, its purpose is picking off weakened foes. It can also provide paralysis support with T-Wave.

Minisachi the Chansey
Bold / Leftovers / Natural Cure
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled
252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Sp. Defense

The daughter of Kyousachi, my Blissey, Minisachi does her mama proud. It serves as a wall, and a Toxic-staller. It also supports with Aromatherapy. The team needs bulk, and Claydol ain't enough.

And that's my attempt at a UU team.
 
I'd say this is a pretty good UU team. There's really not a whole lot wrong with it, but I'd like to point something out:

Froslass should have parafusion (paralysis+confusion) rather than Thunderbolt, as you already have Ampharos.

Also, I'd personally give Beach Ball Leftovers rather than Sitrus Berry. Leftovers is the best item for bulky Pokémon.
 
The Sitrus Berry is for giving Azumarill a Sub if it loses too much HP to set one up in normal circumstances.
 
Generally, Leftovers will give you better recovery -- certainly more reliable. With a sub up, within a couple turns, your pokemon should be back around the health it was at when it originally made the sub. If your subs are unbreakable in one hit, then Leftovers provide good recovery. If they ARE breakable in one hit, then setting up another one with Sitrus Berry health won't help much.

Other than that, it looks like a pretty solid UU team.
 
I think you might have some problems with choice specs leaf storm Sceptile, who can probably outspeed and ohko some of your memebers. Aside from that this team look ok.
 
If Chansey's alive, it can cause problems for Sceptile, but apart from that, it could be a major threat. Then again, every team has a weakness.
 
Sitrus Berry restores 25% HP once when at 50% or less. Leftovers restores 6.25% every turn, or 25% every four turns. In other words, Sitrus Berry is definitely better if you don't expect any of your subs to last more than one turn (in which case leftovers couldn't restore as much if you took any damage at all). However, if you play Azumarill right, you will be keeping subs up for some period of time, so leftovers is probably better. It is a good idea to at least keep Sitrus Berry in mind though.
