My first UU team

[Starlight Sprite]

Hi guys! This is my very first RMT, and I'm relatively new to competitive battling, so I expect it to be flawed. I'm not trying to be hard on myself, but I'm sure to be making some beginner mistakes that I'm not fully aware of. :7:

Back on topic, this is largely intended to be an offensive team, with Zoroark, Victini and Azumarill being the main power players. I've tested this a few times against other players with mixed results. I can recall one battle being terribly dragged out, but other than that I've either won pretty quickly or lost spectacularly, usually when there's something faster than Zoroark that Azumarill can't take down in one or two shots. I'm also finding myself prone to entry hazards, and while the healing can remedy that somewhat, I feel like I'd be losing something if I added in a spinner.

There's also a few quirks built in to mess with the opponent if something dangerous does pop up. Umbreon can take hits, all while healing itself and its allies. Togekiss is nice and bulky too, and can Baton Bass its Nasty Plots over when he's all done. Thanks to Serene Grace he's got a good chance of pulling off flinches, but that's not something to rely on. Mew is there to ruin setup Pokemon, as well as provide a way to annoy Pokemon immune to poison. Lastly, Zoroark is great for playing head games with opponents, as well as being an excellent sweeper. I'll usually disguise him as Umbreon, since it can also learn Dark Pulse, then watch as my opponent prepares to set up for attacking a tank, only to get swept.

That's the team in a nutshell. Any comments, feedback, and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Victini is using a Jolly nature, yet it's using special moves. What's up with that? Its physical sets are better off using Choice items to either boost its power or boost its Speed:
-V-create
-Bolt Strike
-U-turn
-Flare Blitz/Zen Headbutt/Brick Break
Nature: Jolly/Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf/Choice Band

Victini's special set (or specially based mixed set) can afford to use Life Orb:
-V-create/Blue Flare
-Psychic
-Focus Blast
-Grass Knot
Nature: Naive/Timid
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb

Disguising Zoroark as Umbreon is a pretty bad idea, IMO, since both share the same typing, and hence the same weaknesses. What if Heracross comes in and attacks "Umbreon" with Megahorn or Close Combat, only to find that it did a lot more damage than it should? Zoroark should only use Illusion to disguise itself as a Pokemon that resists its weaknesses, and take the same amount of hazards damage as Zoroark does, like Cofagrigus or the aforementioned Heracross. Umbreon doesn't EVEN carry Dark Pulse. Ever. Because of its horrible offenses and the fact that it must rely on Foul Play for even decent damage. Speaking of Foul Play, Zoroark also learns the move, but doesn't even use it:

Heracross:
-Megahorn
-Close Combat
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake/Sleep Talk
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Choice Band/Choice Scarf
Ability: Guts/Moxie

or
-Swords Dance/Substitute
-Megahorn
-Close Combat
-Stone Edge
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Guts/Moxie

Cofagrigus:
-Shadow Ball
-Will-o-Wisp
-Pain Split
-Haze/Knock Off
Nature: Bold
EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
Item: Leftovers

Edit: while Togekiss is able to learn Baton Pass, Gorebyss, Mew or Smeargle do the job better because Smeargle has Spore to ease setup of Baton Passing Shell Smash, Mew lacks a Stealth Rock weakness and Gorebyss, like Smeargle, can Baton Pass Shell Smash:
-Thunder Wave/Heal Bell
-Air Slash
-Nasty Plot/Aura Sphere
-Roost
Nature: Bold/Calm
EVs: 248 HP/216 Def/44 Spe (Bold) or 248 HP/216 SDef/44 Spe (Calm)
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
