Venusaur (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 32 HP/72 Atk/240 Spd/164 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Leaf Storm
- Earthquake
- Sludge Bomb
- Sleep Powder
Thanks to Anthrix of Marriland for this set! He gave it to me, actually, before Heysup's RMT popularized Scarf Venusaur. Venusaur is bulky and powerful, and definitely a force to be reckoned with here in UU. Sleep Powder allows me to stop common leads from setting up rocks, allowing Moltres to get free switches in to many things that it couldn't with rocks up. Sludge Bomb is a powerful STAB move, dealing plenty of damage to my counters – especially other grass-types who like coming in on Earthquake ad Leaf Storm. Leaf Storm is my other STAB, and a great one. Hitting hard on all the Bulky Waters of UU, very few things can come in on it without taking severe damage. On all the annoying Steel-types of the world, I have Earthquake.

Moltres @ Choice Specs
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Air Slash
- Overheat
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Flamethrower
Moltres is a great Pokémon. With a Special Attack stat of 125, equal to that of Zapdos, as well as a decent 100 base Attack, 90/90/85 defenses, and reasonable 90 Speed, Moltres can stall, it can sweep, and it can revenge kill. It's actually more physically bulky than the heralded height-of-OU Zapdos. Moltres makes an amazing revenge killer/sweeper with the Specs as its held item. Its already great Special Attack is increased to unheard-of levels, and it can deal amazing damage to anything in UU, even resists. Flamethrower is my primary STAB move, and deals a lot of damage to a lot of types. Air Slash hits many more Pokemon hard, including annoying fighting-types. HP Grass hits annoying Bulky Waters very hard, and Overheat is just plain amazing.

Absol (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Super Luck
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Night Slash
- Sucker Punch
- Superpower
- Swords Dance
Absol is one of the single greatest Pokemon ever invented, along with Torterra, Heracross, and Dialga. Great offensive typing, especially in the now-Cresselia-ridden UU, great movepool, most powerful priority in the game, and 130 base Attack all help contribute to this fact. After a single Swords Dance, almost nothing can stand up to its power without Intimidate, Burn, Reflect, or other Attack-hindering move/ability/status. Cresselia, even, is KO'd with SR and 15% previous damage. Super Luck allows Absol to increase its Critical Hit chances. Night Slash gets great STAB, as well as a 25% chance to get a crit, or one crit in every 4 times used. Sucker Punch is actually more powerful than Night Slash, and gets 1 crit every 8 times used, and is priority, but it's a very risky move to use, unless you know they're choiced, or something. For all the Dark resists out there (read: Steel and Dark types), Absol has Superpower in Platinum, which is even more awesome than its old fighting moves (did it get Brick Break?)

Registeel @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 242 HP/110 Atk/156 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Iron Head
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Wave
- Explosion
Registeel is an absolute beast - not only in UU, but everywhere else as well (except NU and Little Cup because he's banned). What he lacks in HP with a mediocre 80, he more than makes up for with 150 base in both defenses. This is a minimum of 302. In this instance, he has 412 Special Defense, and 336 Defense, along with 364 HP. He doesn't hit too hard, but Explosion does a lot all the same, probably because it's Explosion. Iron Head gets good STAB, and flinches people once they're paralyzed. Thunder Wave paralyzes opponents nicely. Stealth Rock is a must for any team, as it breaks sashes nicely, etc.

Raikou @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Shadow Ball
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
"Fear of the name only increases fear of the thing itself" - Hermione Granger. In this case, people fear both equally. Raikou's name alone will send shudders down the spine of many a quality UU player, and its appearance in a battle is often code for "Game Over." Raikou is one of the most overpowered (read between the lines: I obviously mean broken) Pokemon in all of UU. With 115 base Speed and Special Attack, as well as a great STAB, Raikou is definitely something to watch out for. Substitute should be easy, with its speed. After that, it can CM up without worry, and hit very hard. After 1 CM, it's nigh unstoppable. After 2, I feel bad for the guy who has to face it. At 3 or more, only Chansey, and possibly Registeel/Cress, can come close to surviving an encounter. Thunderbolt gets great STAB, and every single Pokemon resistant to Thunderbolt with the exception of Cacturn and Steelix is neutral or better against Shadow Ball.

Cresselia (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/40 Def/216 Spd
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Psychic
- Substitute
- Calm Mind
Cresselia. The new kid. Many people feel Cress in UU was over-hyped. I believe that this is not true. Cresselia has been underwhelming for me, and opened it up to murder by fire-types. However, Cress has had her times. She has swept, walled, you name it! She can set up a Substitute with ease, and take hits like the beast she is, while setting up Calm Minds. Psychic is great STAB, and Hidden Power Ground hits things like Magnezone hard. This slot it pretty ambiguous, actually. When I first made this team, I had a Donphan in here. After falling to the common Water+Ice combo, I traded it for an underwhelming Slowbro. Cresselia was next, but all in all, I get the feeling that there's something else that will fit here better.

Some codes weren't working when you typed in "TEAM FUSHIGI" at the top, so I edited it out and just put it in capitals.

Seen it at Smogon, except it seems you messed up the name over there, haha.

I may "rate" this later on when the feeling arises.

EDIT: Actually, probably not, sorry. =(
