i tried the second set and it worked really well!!!!Try this on for size, in the Recover+3 set or in the intro.
"While this generation introduced or improved many other bulky waters, Milotic retains a unique advantage in Marvel Scale. After absorbing a status affliction, Milotic has better physical defenses than Skarmory."
Claiming that it's the only pure water with instant recovery is misleading; Marvel Scale is what really matters, and there are at least six other OU-viable bulky waters who will be running instant or near-instant recovery.
I've been fooling around with Milo on /tr/ (yeah, I know), and I've found two sets that work decently well.
Surf
Ice Beam
Recover
Hypnosis / Dragon Tail / Toxic
I've tried this with both the max def and the 64 HP / 192 SpA spreads. It does a good job of pivoting on scarfers and non-boosting tanks, and if I can switch it in on paralysis it 's Skarmory lite.
I've experimented with Hypnosis, and the only advantage seems to be its unpredictability. When people have remembered that Milotic gets Hypnosis, I've consistently found people trying to predict the sleep. Having the extra SpA to punish them for doing so has been handy.
I've used this:
Boil Over
Ice Beam
Recover
Dragon Tail
Having too many different statuses is self-defeating. I found that Boil Over burns ended up colliding with poison/sleep too often to make status in the fourth slot useful. This set didn't seem to accomplish as much as the first set, and I questioned why I was using this over Snorlax, Garchomp, Skarmory, or Swampert. It still did a decent job of playing the role of phaze tank, though.
she can takes hits like a pro with her 347hp and 282/286 defenses and the so commun status moves from hard hitters as scizor,tyranitar,metagross,salamence,dragonite(phaze the DD version).... and deal some damage too with 284 spatk (she survived heat wave on the switch and thunder from zapdos and OHKO back with ice beam after SR damage!!!!!)
But i see that the perfect stalling set for her is the sleeping beauty with no question.
