Vaporeon?LR, not sure where you got that idea from, but Brine has base power of 65 which doubles to 130 if the foe has less than half health left.
With Sharpedo getting STAB with it, I can imagine that SFPedo could potentially break any wall it wanted.
You make it sound like going to BL is a good thing...With sucker punch and super fang Nidoqueen now has a chance to go up to BL at least. Its defensive stats aren't bad (90/87/85), and paired with super fang and a priority, I'd say it may become quite a threat.
The Super Fang + Sucker Punch combo makes very little sense on paper. As far as sweepers are concerned, Super Fang is the least of their worries (anything they can survive is a point in their favor), and those are exactly the kind of Pokemon that are afraid of Sucker Punch in the first place. The majority of walls don't give a shit about Sucker Punch tbh, it's just free recovery or status / setup.I'd say 80 isn't a weak one. While not being able to be a stab and what not, after Super fang cuts 1/2 of the opposing pokemon's life and with Stealth Rock, I'd say Sucker Punch may even be enough to land a lot of OHKO's with enough attack power.
Why would this be? Please do explain.The Super Fang + Sucker Punch combo makes very little sense on paper.

In a nutshell:
Sweepers :- fear Sucker Punch, not bothered by Super Fang.
Walls :- fear Super Fang, not bothered by Sucker Punch.
It's counter-intuitive. However, Super Fang + Taunt, that makes more sense as a combo. But if trying to take on both kinds of Pokemon with one set, you'd be better off with Nidoking IMO.
I don't play UU, but please enlighten me why would one use HP Fight against Blissey/Clefable when Bug Buzz does almost the same damage (135 vs 140), and why would one use HP [Super-Effective] against Registeel when the same situation above applies if it's a Tinted Lens Yanmega.Not only that, but the premier Special Walls of UU, Chansey and Clefable, do not enjoy taking Yanmega's heavy hits either. With Registeel usage dying down it could even switch HP Ground for HP Fighting just to hit them all that harder. They will also not enjoy staying in on the Super Fang user partnered with Yanmega.
Then Yanmega will go back to OU/BL like it deserves.A thing I see happening, that no one else has really pointed out: Is a rise of Tinted Lends Yanmega. Registeel usage rose in an effort to "Counter" Tinted Lens Yanmega, as it 3HKO's it, something few other Pokemon not weak to SR can claim. If Super Fang becomes hugely popular in the UU environment, Registeel usage will drop. It's only reliable recovery move is Rest, and if it does that it is a sitting duck to any Super Fang user for two turns.
So, if Registeel usage dies down, very few Pokemon can adequately handle the threat of a Choice Specced Yanmega's Bug Buzz. I see the two happening in tandem with one another. Of course this is just theorymon, but I say it is a strong possibility.

It was more of an obligatory move statement, as really Bug Buzz outdamages most SE attacks coming from Yanmega point for point. Giga Drain is even suggested on the set sheerly for Health Regeneration. That saying, my example was purely for type coverage. Bug Buzz and Air Slash are the only two moves that Yanmega needs in its arsenal, as Air Slash alone hits everything in UU for at least neutral.I don't play UU, but please enlighten me why would one use HP Fight against Blissey/Clefable when Bug Buzz does almost the same damage (135 vs 140), and why would one use HP [Super-Effective] against Registeel when the same situation above applies if it's a Tinted Lens Yanmega.
That... would be simulatenously so awesome and so broken. Sub + Super Fang + Focus Punch + Filler would be quite the amazing moveset.Damnit, wish Miltank could get this... Scrappy+Super Fang... man...
This set seems like it would well with Nidoqueen's role as a tank. She can now beat other tanks/walls one on one(other than bulky waters, obviously), and set up Stealth Rock for the team. You are left walled by Rotom, but Stealth Rock will be your first move to make, so you can predict from there.Nidoqueen should run a set like...
Super Fang
Earthquake
Taunt
Stealth Rock
Interesting fact, Scrappy + Normal/Fighting is unresisted offensive coverage.Damnit, wish Miltank could get this... Scrappy+Super Fang... man...
