Ice Punch can be replaced as Crawdaunt's Waterfall should be able to KO gligar. I like the white herb on Sceptile though. It allows for Leaf Storm to actually be useful (I never did like that -2 Sp.A and self-forced switch).

Btw, I misread 'Fight trio' as 'Fight-o'. I believe I may have watched too much anime. Time to watch Bento.

Why Normal Gem on Ambipom? Why not try Life Orb?

I generally don't like items like Fight Plate, Silk Scarf, ect, bt thats just preference. Other than that, I think Hitmonchan is fine with its moveset.

Iight I'll try it that way. And, uh, um...you may need another hobby to split time ._. Oh and also, to Megamaster37 as well, Fist Plate on Chan is actually boss because everyone thinks I have a Band. 211BP CC and 83BP MachPunch is fine by me, thank you.

Also, MM37, Normal Gem on Ambipom is so that Acrobatics is activated which then gives me a 110BP super-effective move against Fightin-types.

Hearts I have seen a handful of lawnmowers around, but I thought Taco Bell wasn't hiring haven't had a problem with them as their low HP stats make them rather frail for Chan to bring down later with its naturally good special bulk. I'll keep an eye out though.

Fine, I'll just wait for the patch of Little Bu--... oh wait, that probably doesnt count.

Sorry, no can do. I actually feel behind this week

Anyways, what do you think of Drain Punch? Also, does Crawdaunt get Agility? I like agility.

I dunno bout Drain, tbh he's never seemed like he needed recovery. Like he just kinda gets in, murders something with CC, surprises the switch in with a coverage move, and uses MachPunch to finish them. Repeat until you're screwed and use MachPunch as a last-ditch why-the-hell-not thing. Unless they're gonna use a Psychic-type attack, in which case go to Crawdaunt because it'll be funneh.

On the subject of Crawdaunt, not it does not as far as I know. *checks* ...Crawdaunt does not get Agility xD What's it with you and Speed moves, brah? Gotta Scarf some stuff and use DD here and there, mix it up :3

Speed moves allows sweep without scarf. I don't like choice items too.. But I'm fine with Outrage since it's better on All-out sweepers.. It OHKO 2-3 Pokemon and then faints... Lum berry works if you have space for items.

Hmm... Alakazam, Ambipom, Hitmonchan, Sceptile... these all seem to be pokemon you've used (and advocated). Hitmontop was extremely useful in OU for beating down things like Latios, Terrakion, and the former Excadrill. In UU it isn't so much of a specialized attacker, so it makes sense that you'd switch it out.

Hitmonchan might be able to use Stone Edge. If you feel like the opponent is trying to out-predict a Mach Punch to their sweeper and try to switch out, Iron Fist Focus Punch might be a nasty surprise.

Gallade requires insane prediction if you don't run Thunder Wave, and although the pay-off is great if the opponent realizes their only true fighting counter was just Ice Punched to hell, it might not be suitable for everyone. The only things it should have problems with in UU when played properly are bulky psychics and ghosts like Cresselia, Eviolite Dusclops, and maybe Mew. But you seem to like having dual cores, so that's up to you.

Absorb Bulb Sceptile is awesome especially against Drizzle, but that might not be so important in UU. White Herb works, I suppose.

Crawdaunt might want Crunch over Night Slash, if it is legal. Also, running a cool double-boost set with Swords Dance over X-Scissor might be effective against stall teams. Or maybe Substitute to help setting up, since there doesn't seem to be many movepool options besides Return or Superpower.

I don't know a whole lot about UU besides the pokemon inside it, but this team looks all right. It might have trouble breaking through some of the meaner walls though (double-boost Crawdaunt might help there).

Megamaster37 Scarfed fighting types are very good, even without Trick (Gallade and Medicham have Trick access). Nothing like a light-speed Close Combat running through a team late-game or a Stone Edge killing a boosted Gyarados.

EDIT: Doing calcs in my head, I came up with Chan's FocusPunch on this set being 324BP off of 339 Atk. So even a resist will take it at a menacing 162BP. Uh, I think it maaayyyy be worth a try xD

If you can predict a switch/move or replace a move for Sub, you could be able to pull it off

MegaMaster37 my prediction is getting better, so maybe, just maybe it'll work.

Shard4 ya see, people don't realize just how damn frail Zam is and/or decide that their best bet is a super-effective move. Besides, I have a super-effective STAB attack, so why wouldn't I attack?

...Smogon UU players aren't as smart as you, on average. Most people aren't, tbh

Oh and the problem with Sharpedo and DDGatr is that they're so predictable. The 'WTF that thing gets DD?!?' that keep coming are priceless.
