Excellent point on the facade thing. I just had a complete brain fart. If you subbed life orb for the flame orb, the set might still have some merit, giving you a tiny bit more time to sweep, and boosting the power of both of your attacking moves. Additionally, a similar set might work with...

Here's a Raticate set that I thought might be fun to try out. Raticate@Flame Orb Nature: Jolly Ability: Guts EVs: 252 Attk/252 Speed/4 Defense Taunt Sucker Punch T-Wave Last Resort Essentially the point of this set is to abuse priority and paralysis in order to quickly gain access to a STAB...

Nice bulky seviper set-I've seen a few bulky Arboks on shoddy, who were quite annoying and surprisingly durable and I had never really considered doing a similar set with Seviper-I thought the lower defense and speed would be deal breakers. But I'd imagine that taunt would be a significant...

Now I wasn't denying that Wigglytuff is outclassed in pretty much all areas by Clefable-as a matter of fact I clearly stated that in the beginning of my post. I was just trying to create a potential moveset where Wigglytuff has an advantage over Clefable as far as how well he/she can use it. And...

Recently I've been giving a lot of thought to pokemon considered outdone by similar pokes, most notably Wigglytuff who's often considered a Clefable wannabe due to it's lower defenses, lower special attack (pretty much lower everything except HP) and worse ability selection. So I asked myself...

Yeah sorry...I guess I did misread the EVs on your persian...sorry.

First off, congratulations on actually building and posting a NU team-they're a rarity around here and it's always good to see a bit of originality. Now to my opinions: Persian: As you said, the moveset and EV's are fairly standard. I generally prefer 252 speed/252 attack spreads simply...

That's generally the case but I've seen a couple of teams that have used similiar "trick room walls" to decent effect, neutralizing a good portion of the opponent's team and setting up for a powerful but fragile sweeper like Rampharos.

Magcargo@Leftovers Flame Body Relaxed Nature (252 HP, 176 Def, 80 Sp D) Stealth Rock Recover Lava Plume Toxic Parasect@Quick Claw (If allowed, if not then Leftovers is your best bet) Dry Skin Brave Nature (252 HP, 252 Attk, 4 Def) Spore Seed Bomb X-Scissor Knock Off Naturally, this...

I agree, there's no such thing as "too much" originality. After all, it's what revitalizes the metagame and encourages people to adapt. And honestly, more room for originality and more viability for niche movesets is really what attracts a lot of people to UU and NU play-it's certainly what...

I've had some success on Smogon with the following Corsola Wall Corsola@Leftovers Natural Cure Calm/Bold Nature (252 HP, 128 def, 124 sp def) Confuse Ray/Toxic Stealth Rock Recover Surf Corsola certainly doesn't have the special attack to kill much of anything, even with 252 special attack...

I've done some preliminary testing, and it's actually fared fairly well. Setting up for 6 turns is something that likely (as you yourself have said) won't be possible in the typical game, but the set doesn't need to be set up for that amount of time to be effective. Charge beam boosts itself...

Here's a Clefable set that I've been thinking of using for a UU team. Clefable@Life Orb Magic Guard (252 HP/160 SpA/ 90Sp D/8 Spe) Modest Charge Beam Icy Wind Cosmic Power Wish With this set, you get a nice mix of power, bulk and support. You can pass wish to team mates, wall with cosmic...

I agree completely with you Kietharr in that there's nothing wiggly can do that clefable can't do better. The thing is though, that wigglytuff was one of my first pokemon to capture and train, along with nidoran, way back in the old R/B days. So although I acknowledge your point, and thank you...

Nidoking@Life Orb Ability: Rivalry EVs: 200 Attack, 252 SpA, 56 Speed Nature: Rash Flame Thrower Ice Beam Earth Quake Thunderbolt Notes: An extremely versatile mixed sweeper that can effectively deal with a number of threats. I went with Rivalry because the vast majority of pokemon in...
