- I based the team entirely around Tentacruel, as it's a top threat due to the mechanics of Wrap in this generation. Surf and Blizzard are good coverage moves and Reflect is to keep Tentacruel on the field, in case a switch is being read.
- Due to Hypno being banned from UU recently, I decided to use its main competitor, Kadabra, as it has the strongest Psychic and is the strongest, fastest check to opposing Tentacruels.
- Haunter, despite sleep being banned, I feel is still necessary to the team due to the normal immunity. Thunderbolt for a good special move with the chance for paralysis, Confuse Ray as a replacement for Hypnosis, and Night Shade for Special Tanks. Explosion for when I need a quick KO.
- Kangaskhan rounds out this so far Special Atk/Def oriented team thus far. I put a focus on moves that have paralysis on each of my team members to help with Wrap. Earthquake to check electric types that should go for Tentacruel and Vaporeon, as well as Rock Slide in case of Dodrio and Articuno. Hyper Beam to finish off or revenge.
- Vaporeon is also for bulk, with Acid Armor and Rest to keep it on the field for longer.
- Tangela is another option for Wrap, being bulky and can use Stun Spore to paralyze Dugtrio and other normal types where Thunder Wave and Body Slam would fail respectively. Mega Drain and Growth to keep it in the field longer.
