I'm really liking UU right now, nothing's too broken and it's really fun. Thank goodness Haxorus is stuck in his rightful place in OU, but anyways. Here are some stuff I really like using in UU right now.
Scrafty (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Shed Skin
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Drain Punch
- Crunch
- Taunt
I found this set while lurking the PO forums. Anyways, aside from the fact that Scrafty is one of my favorite Pokemon (it kinda conflicts with Mesprit for my fave Poke overall, but back to my topic), I gave this set a shot and it's pretty damn good. This set serves as a pretty solid stallbreaker that has great sweeping potential thanks to coverage and DD. Scrafty can Taunt a lot of Stall teams, while this and Shed Skin make Scrafty less vulnerable to status. From there, Scrafty can set up DD multiple times and smash a lot of things with its awesome coverage in Drain Punch and Crunch. A lot of defensive Pokemon despise this thing, including the rare defensive variants of Snorlax and Cofagrigus, Umbreon, Spiker Roserade, Dusclops (lol), Claydol, Registeel, and to a lesser extent Qwilfish. Scrafty can also stop Bisharp from grabbing SD boosts. Scrafty, after some boosts, can threaten teams pretty easily and is hard to switch into except for Heracross, who is getting less relevant, and Hitmontop and Gligar, who aren't very good Pokemon to begin with. SubCM Cress works well with this too, but eh. Anyways, pretty solid thing in this meta that I really like using.
Here's a pretty legit core that I've been using lately as well.
Magneton @ Eviolite
Trait: Magnet Pull
EVs: 212 HP / 120 SpA / 136 Spe
Modest Nature
- Substitute
- Magnet Rise
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Druddigon @ Choice Band
Trait: Mold Breaker
EVs: 152 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 100 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Sucker Punch
- Dragon Claw
From the RU tier, these two make a pretty legit core in UU (MagneDrudd is good in RU too, but back to the topic). Magneton can trap Bronzong, the most common Steel-type in the tier, with a SubRise set that cannot be touched by Bronzong while wearing it down with repeated Thunderbolts. This thing also wears down Bisharp, Empoleon, and Escavalier pretty easily. Registeel and Cobalion handle this thing well but Thunderbolt does enough to make them ineffective. That said, once those are out of the way thanks to Magneton, Druddigon can be just plain absurd with a CB set; especially with Spikes, almost nothing in UU will enjoy an Outrage from this monster of a Pokemon. Druddigon has a nice defensive typing as well, shitting on Darmanitan+Roserade cores and the likes. EQ is just coverage while Sucker Punch nails Victini and Azelf and picks off weakened opponents. Druddigon also has nice resistances making it a nice Zapdos check while taking on Darmanitan+Roserade cores. Overall I really like using these two and they make for a legit core.
Just some thoughts on cool stuff in this meta.
