NU Sunny Day v. UU Sandstorm

A good weather team battle on Shoddy UU Ladder against player "Sheep."

I don't like Sandstorm or Hail teams in UU, because thanks to their access to Hippopotas, Snover, and Chansey, those two particular weather type teams essentially turn UU into OU lite. I honestly feel it's sad that Smogonites are so desperate for their precious auto-weather, that they resort to the NFE's that grant them such a lame advantage.

This team is based on the current NU tier list at the Shuten Dojo's sister forum, based entirely on the NU project. Comment or PM if you're interested in joining- we're considering moving to LiveJournal in hopes that we may get more publicity there, and we're switching out to a new rotation of Pokemon in July- we rotate out to a new tierlist every two months. The metagame is surprisingly stable, and I encourage you to join. We need the members, and creative minds are in demand.
