Hey all,
Trying to get back into competitive battling after several years away (look at my post history...) I've taken a pretty long break from the scene, so I'm looking for some feedback on my first competitive team attempt. Since Infernape is apparently UU now, thought I'd try my hand at UU too.
This team is intended to be hyper offensive. Most matches finish in under 20 turns, for better or for worse. Currently oscillating around 1300 in rank with a ~58% winrate. Biggest questions i have right now for this team:

- do i really need rapid spin on Starmie?
- what are some type weaknesses that i should be more considerate of?
- should i consider moving Scizor from a CB set to something with more flexibility?
