Politoed

Politoed is often overlooked in UU, as it is faced with competition for a team slot from its bulky Water rivals Milotic, Slowbro, and Blastoise. What Politoed does have and what sets it apart from its rivals are its ability, Water Absorb, and useful support moves, including Encore, Haze, and Hypnosis. Politoed also has excellent Special Defense, high HP, and a decent typing, and can even pose as a powerful offensive threat thanks to its impressive Special Attack and good offensive movepool. The downside to using Politoed are its below-average Speed and lack of recovery outside of Rest and Water Absorb. However, if you provide it with adequate support and play to its strengths, Politoed can become quite an effective addition to your team.
