NEW NU Team

[Gowon]

Decided to move on to NU because I wasn't doing too hot with my UU team. This NU team so far has been good. I've won 10/10 battles that I used it in against mostly OU teams.

Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

How does the team look? I've ran into some big problems in some battles, but somehow still pull off a win.
