Bulky offence, I guess. I just want a team that fits nicely together. This is my first try at competitive battling, so I'm completely unsure. I'd like a Rocks Pokemon, like Ferrothorn or Forretress. That's what I really need, with a bit of help on my offencive Pokemon.
EDIT: I've just worked out a team- Politoed, Jirachi, Dragonite, Ferrothorn, Virizion and Starmie. Ferrothorn carries out hazards, Politoed has Drizzle, Bulky Dragonite and Jirachi are my tanks/walls, with 'Rachi using Wish to keep my team together. Starmie keeps hazards away from my team, mainly from Dragonite, and Virizion is a Swords Dance Sweeper!
not to be an *** but a dragonite with fire punch like mine breaks this team
lead politoed
im guessing youd go perish song in which case i switch to sceptile with a ferrothorn switch id go HP fire youre dead in two hits 3 tops. next would probably be dragonite switch swampert ice beam dead in probably two esp if you DD. next Jirachi switch heatran fire blast most likely a OHKO depending on your evs. switch virizion. now comes my dragonite fire punch maybe two hits. lastly starmie I would go outrage but if you kill me I switch into a conkeldurr payback and its a OHKO. game me'

Right. Drizzle team isn't a great idea now, just because I'm bored of all this forced Politoed thing. So I'll switch my ideas.

I'm having trouble choosing team members for my UU team.
I've decided on:
Escavalier @ Choice Band
{Swarm}
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Def
Adamant Nature
-Megahorn
-Iron Head
-Return
-Pursuit
Arcanine @ Life Orb
{Flash Fire}
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Jolly Nature
-Flare Blitz
-Extremespeed
-Wild Charge
-Morning Sun
I am going for an offensive approach, but with a few bulky pokemon to sponge the powerful hits, like Chandelure's Fire Blast and Azumarril's Waterfall and such.
Firstly, I need a way to deal with Zapdos and Moltres, which means I will need a good Stealth Rocker. I am using Arcanine, so Steels are just meh. Also, Escavalier might have to switch often, so a decent Rapid Spinner is needed, prefereably one that synergizes with my Arca-Valier core.

Okay, this is my very first UU team, and I still need some help. I'm thinking of using a Quiver Dance Venomoth as a passer over Mew, but I'm not quite sure yet. I'm also thinking of using a different move over Superpower on Azumarill, but I'm not sure what. Anyway, I would love help as this is my first ever competitive team. Thanks!

This is a full team. Make a thread for it. I may edit this later for an actual rate later tho.

Latios (M) @ Expert Belt
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Surf
- Dragon Pulse
- Psyshock
Calm Mind Latios has perfect synergy with Lucario and they help weaken each others' counters with their attacks hitting so hard. Latios>Latias for more power with one Calm Mind boost. Surf gives coverage against heatran and Psyshock helps against Blissey, however Lucario helps in this aspect. Dragon Pulse allows for a solid STAB that doesn't have any negatives effects. Calm Mind is what makes him hit so hard. It's like holding a Choice Specs, but allows latios to switch moves. I think I might run HP [Fire]>Psyshock, but it depends on who else is added.
With Tyranitar and Ferrothorn stopping Latios's sweep, Lucario can start to sweep. most people try to switch in Physical walls into him, so Nasty Plot is a sure surprise. I am almost convinced to run a Timid nature because Gliscor is a common Switch-in and if he outspeeds Lucario, an EQ is in his future. However, with a Timid Nature, he is outsped and is hit with a +2 Shadow Ball. Nasty Plot Lucario is an underrated threat that functions pretty well in this Metagame, however I am really stumped on other team members.
I'd like to use at least Stealth Rocks, but I'd like to keep offensive presence. I'd like to run Hyper Offensive, but I don't know if I want to do balanced either :/

Hyper offense almost always utilizes stealth rocks.
There aren't many ice types in UU. Froslass can be taken out with a Fire Blast from Chandelure. I tested my team out on PO (Pokemon Online) and it said Roserade couldn't go on wifi UU. So my team managed to beat a semi OU team consisting of Blissey, Smeargle, Salamence, Chandelure, Forretress and something else. I got a Timd Chandelure first time in breeding, and I'm going to change the item to Air Balloon as Ground types are going to get a suprose when their move fails and a STAB Fire Blast hits them. WoW can then be changed to Energy Ball.
To be honest and blunt, no. Firstly, having Hyper Beam on any of your pokemon is a bad idea because of the recharge. Also, using four moves of the same type on one pokemon is also bad.
Current Hunt : HeartGold - Route 35 (Badge Quest 3) 900 REs
No. Just, no. I wouldn't recommend ANY of this. AT ALL. But you seem to not know anything about natures, evs, ivs; etc, so I'll dumb it down.
Typhlosion's moves: Eruption, , Fire blast, Focus Blast, Hidden Power. Give it choice scarf.
Umbreon's moves: Moonlight, Curse, Baton Pass, Payback. Give it leftovers.
Ampharos' moves: Heal Bell/Signal Beam, Discharge, Hidden Power, Focus Blast. If you give it signal beam then give it choice specs; give it leftovers if you choose heal bell.
Togekiss' moves: Air Slash, Thunder Wave, Roost, Aura Sphere/Nasty Plot. Give it leftovers.
Bellossom's moves: Sunny Day, Solar Beam, Sludge Bomb, Giga Drain. Giga Drain should only be used if you're about to die, or sun isn't up. It will boost Bellossom's super poor speed and make Typhlosions attacks do much more. Give it Life Orb.
Milotic Moves: Surf, Recover, Toxic, Ice Beam. Give it leftovers.
Goodbye friends. My Pokémon drive is reaching zero, so I'm gonna go do other stuffs. Love you all. c:
-Alex
Yep, this is what I based my team off of. I decided to break the mold of Specs or Disable, and when I saw this dude learned Giga Drain, I became inspired to do this.
Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Roost
- Stealth Rock
- Whirlwind
- Drill Peck
Skarmory is Skarmory. He synergises decently with Gengar, and with this copy-and-pasted-from-Smogon set, he does... what he always does.
Latias (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Dragon Pulse
- Recover
- Calm Mind
- Hidden Power [Fire]
This is an extremely awesome Scrafty set, I love how he can sweep plenty even with only one Dragon Dance.
So, yeah, I need something to fill the last two slots, and I have this nagging feeling in the back of my head that is telling me that the existing members of my team could be better :/
I was dead when I woke up this morning,
And I'll be dead before the day is done.
That puts them boys on rock-rock,
And they'll linin' down the block,
Just to watch what I got.
So put yo freakum dress on.
Every woman got one.
Okay, so I'm makning an OU team based off of Gengar (because I can), and after getting four pokemon, I'm absolutely stumped.
Gengar (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Giga Drain
- Thunderbolt I prefer Tbolt for the accuracy
- Focus Blast Otherwise looks good

Your team has excellent synergy, and is just good overall. You could choose whomever you want. You might want something to counter weather, and Rotom-W fits the bill pretty well.
Rotom-W @ Choice Scarf/Whatever you want
Timid
252 Speed and Sp. Atk
Levitate
-HP Ice
-Thunderbolt
-Hydro Pump
-Trick/Volt Switch
Basic Rotom-W. HP Ice is for Dragons, and Hydro Pump and Tbolt are for coverage/ taking out pokemon that gain from weather. You could also choose the bulky variant if you want.
Frankly, I can't think of anything else that would be helpful. You can choose literally any pokemon you want for this team.
Rates/changes in Bold
