Kyurem-B @ Choice Scarf

Trait: Teravolt

EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP

Jolly Nature

• Outrage
• Fusion Bolt
• Ice Beam
• Dragon Claw

This monster has got to be my favorite sweeper of all time. I chose it because it can play many roles. It can punch holes in the opponent's team with it's massive 170 Base Attack Stat. It can revenge kill non-Scarfed Pokemon. And it can clean up late game.
The Choice Scarf gives a much needed speed boost to help it defeat certain Pokemon that would otherwise KO it. Outrage is your main STAB and does huge damage even without a power boosting item, and can clean up weakened teams. Fusion Bolt is a secondary STAB and hits Water and Flying types (DIE SKARMORY! :D) harder than it's Dragon STABs. Ice Beam is extremely helpful to take down walls who would otherwise tank all its attacks, such as Gliscor, Landorus-T and Hippowdon. Dragon Claw can take down weakened foes when a Steel type or Physical Wall is still present on the opponent's team and you don't want to get locked onto Outrage.

---

Latios @ Choice Specs

Trait: Levitate

EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef

Timid Nature

• Draco Meteor
• Psyshock
• Surf
• Hidden Power [Fire]

Latios has been a wall breaker on most of my recent teams, and with good reason. He has a huge 130 Special Attack coupled with 110 Speed, and an extensive movepool, the exact qualities that a Pokemon who can plow through teams has. What's not to like?
The Choice Specs make Latios the wall breaker that that is so dangerous, by boosting its already big Special Attack. Draco Meteor is destruction by the click of a button. It's STAB and destroys nearly anything, bar pink blobs and Steel types. Psyshock is a secondary STAB providing coverage and a weapon against those evil pink blobs. Surf does great damage (2HKO) to T-Tars trying to trap you with Pursuit, and gets pseudo-STAB in the ever so present Rain. Hidden Power [Fire] is your only chance against Ferrothorn, and is usually worth it even though it is outrun by other base 110s. Trick is an option in the last slot if it seems appealing to you, but I prefer blasting through walls rather than crippling them. :P

Comments

My tyrantrum 2KO'ed bolth of them before, I see them Eevrywere

Answer 2

Dragonite is my favorite sweeper as it can get a Dragon Dance up oh so easily with it's Multiscale ability, which almost basically gives it a free turn to do whatever it wants at full health.

Dragonite @ Leftovers
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, - SpA)
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Punch
- Earthquake / ExtremeSpeed / Roost
- Dragon Dance

Dragon Dance is what makes D'Nite sweeper material. Dragon Claw is a decent STAB attack that actually piles on good chunk of damage after just one DD. Fire Punch can nail Ferrothorn. Earthquake is for additional coverage against foes like Heatran while ExtremeSpeed can hit other priority users you might be afraid of. Roost just basically allows you to try and go for another free DD.

Comments

I’d go for outrage instead of dragon claw.

---

@Lucario Skywalker If you prefer, but if you’re locked into outrage and they switch into a fairy type, it ain’t too good.

Answer 3

Scarflosion

Typhlosion @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Eruption
- Flamethrower
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Grass]

Scarfruption Hits alot of Pokémon Hard, Flamethrower for when you Switch in at Low HP, HP GRass is coverage, and Focus Blast is just some Raw Power

Bandcham

Medicham @ Choice Band
Trait: Pure Power
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Hi Jump Kick
- Ice Punch
- ThunderPunch
- Psycho Cut

Banded Hi Jump Kick Hits alot of Pokemon hard, You've got You BoltBeam Coverage, and Psycho Cut For a Little More Coverage.

Extremekiller Arceus

Arceus @ Silk Scarf
Trait: Multitype
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- ExtremeSpeed
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Claw
- Anything you want

Arceus hits alot of Pokemon Super Hard with Extremespeed, STAB and made stronger with Silk Scarf,shadow claw is for coverage and whatever you like in the last lost, I'm not an expert with an Arceus so idk what toput, maybe recover?

[and btw the **alot** is better than you at everything : \]]4

Comments

Brick Break for Ferrothorn and Dialga is good in the last slot for Arceus.

---

what :/

---

I was suggesting a move for Arceus...

---

I would give Arceus Leftovers instead of Silk Scarf. I mean, it does only boost one move.

---

I Only need one Move.
lololololol Pokewatt suggested the silk scarf

---

I run lefties too...

---

I thin judgement will be a better move

Answer 4

Lilligant @ Lum Berry
Ability: Chlorophyll (OU)/ Own Tempo (UU & RU)
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Nature: Modest/ Timid
- Sleep Powder
- Quiver Dance/ Growth
- HP Fire
- Giga Drain

Lilligant is an underrated Sun sweeper. Okay she's frail, but so is Sawsbuck and that seems to be getting more attention than she is, though everything's underrated compared to Venusaur. Growth is actually better in the sun, since it's x2 boost, but Quiver Dance is brilliant as well, especially for UU and RU. HP Fire to deal with Bugs, Steel and other Grass types.

I don't like the Own Tempo + Petal Dance combination, solely because Petal Dance locks you in for 3 turns, with or without the confusion at the end.

---

Weavile @ Choice Band
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Nature: Jolly
- Ice Shard
- Ice Punch
- Night Slash/ Pursuit
- Low Kick

Not as anti-meta-smashing as Mamoswine, but Weavile is the definition of a glass cannon. Absolutely brilliant for revenge scarf Flygon, frail Azelf & Mismagius, Shaymin, Zapdos etc., Weavile is a great late game clean up in UU. Stealth Rock weakness means some spin support is needed though.

---

Volcarona @ Life Orb/ Lum Berry/ Leftovers
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Nature: Modest
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz/ Giga Drain
- Hurricane
- Fiery Dance

Come rain wind or shine, Volcarona is still sweeping. After a few Quiver Dances, it can manage to deal good fire damage even in rain, with its STAB and stat boosts. A fire move is pretty much needed to deal with common walls like Jirachi, Skarmory, Ferrothorn and Forretress. One Quiver Dance can also allow it to outspeed Scarfed Terrakion.

Comments

If you're not using this on a rain team Giga Drain is almost always better than Hurricane

---

Really like the volcarona set!

---

fondant what did u edit there?

---

Just your grammar. :)

Answer 5

hmm..One of the best sweepers of all time seems to has been forgotten ;-;
Anyways I should say that one if my favorite sweepers should be

Salamence @ Life Orb

Trait: Moxie
EVs:64 Atk / 192 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Outrage
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake

Well if you would want to know why I chose him as one of my most favorite sweepers then I only have one thing to say, Mixmence. He has been granted a great Special Attack and Attack stat enabling him to cause terror both to Special as Physical walls. The Life Orb's main purpose is to power-up his moves to a nice level whereas Moxie will continue to make every KO boost the attack stat meaning that if you are not scarfed, don't switch-in. Draco Meteor is that move that many physical walls fear as powered by the Life Orb and assuming that it is a STAB move, that will hurt...a lot, not toforget other can't switch in if you are threatening with such devastating move. Fire Blast is the move that Salamence will most likely need the most if it's intentions are not to be walled to death. Fire Blast will roost any Scizor that thinks it is always safe to switch into Salamence and those Ferrothorn that seem to like paralyzing it.Outrage a move that the "Happy egg sisters" don't seem to like and for a good reason. A powerful STAB move that will eliminate everything that isn't faster then it. After a few Moxie boosts....gg. Last in the moveslot but a terror that many Pokemon have feared and will probably always fear..Earthquake. Not a STAB move but that raw power is brutal. All but grass, levitating and flying Pokemon can escape this powerful move. The rest are doomed to be obliterated in less then 3 turns (in very bulky cases). After a few Moxie boosts, let's make that 1 turn :)

---

Keldeo @ Expert Belt

Trait: Justified
EVs:4 SpD / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Surf
- Icy Wind
- Hidden Power Bug
- Secret Sword

Tbh the main reason why Keldeo made it so high as one of my favorite sweepers is because he is a water type, jk. This young stallion should be the best of not the best Special Sweepers in the OU tier as a base 129 Special Attack stat should not be taken lightly. Surf is it's primary STAB move and the one who will be killing most Pokemon as not many can take more then 2 Surfs. Icy Wind, not a very impressive base power but this move is deadlier then it looks as it enables Keldeo to slow down any threat whiles take a chunk out of the Dragon's HP. Hidden Power Bug, what Celebi? Well, the main reason it is in your moveset is to take down Celebi as it forms a major threat to Keldeo in every way, from paralyzing to eliminating it with Leaf Storm/Giga Drain and Psychic. Well this is no more. With Hidden Power bug, there is nothing such as a Celebi. Keldeo is not only an excellent special sweeper but it is also a great butcher. You can get free Tyranitar and Hydreigon pieces at his butcher shop. How does he do this? Secret Sword. Secret Sword is a very powerful fighting type move and since it is a STAB special type move, it will hurt a lot when fired of by a Keldeo. Boosted by the Expert Belt, all Hydreigon will faint unless you are speaking of a Max HP and Max Special defense Hydreigon which is often never the case. However Tyranitar in sand has a very high Special Defense but even he willl be 2HKO'd by it

---

Meloetta @ Life Orb

Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 56 Atk / 252 SpA / 200 Spe
Naive Nature
- Relic Song
- Close Combat
- Thunder / Thunderbolt
- Psychic / Hidden Power Ice

You know the saying "It is rude to beat a lady" well, if you would want to stay alive, I would suggest that you get rid of them the moment you see them on stage because it is going to be the last performance you will ever see, It is literary double faced for when one hears the ancient song that comes out of her mouth, one has met the end of life as one knows it.This should be the most disturbing feature of Meloetta as when she changes forms there is a vast chance that you will fall into deep slumber. When she is in her Aria-form she has a base 128 special attack and special defense, good luck breaking that with a bug buzz. In this form Relic Song will be doing the most damage as it is a STAB move and a special move. For it's base power, Relic Song can do a vast amount of damage. Thunder and Thunderbolt will also be hitting so many Pokemon so hard and boosted by Serene grace, paralysis usually follows. Psychic or Hidden Power Ice both very powerful moves that will seriously dent opponents. Hidden Power Ice is mainly to hit the Dominating Dragon types. Close Combat seems to be the only move that Pirouette-Meloetta can use, however that is the only move it needs to sweep through teams because in this form it has a base 128 Attack and Speed Stat, isn't that just lovely, it is fast enough to outspeed any unscarfed Pokemon as well as KO most of the tier with one powerful Close Combat

Answer 6

Bisharp @ Lum Berry
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
~ Swords Dance
~ Sucker Punch
~ Low Kick
~ Night Slash
Please who doesn't love a good Bisharp? :P jks
Swords Dance for setup, Sucker Punch to bypass crappy speed, Low Kick to beat steel types, Night Slash for a stronger STAB against slower pokes.

Alakazam @ Life Orb
Trait: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
~ Psyshock
~ Focus Blast
~ Signal Beam
~ Substitute
Free life orb boost? Yes please! :D Substitute provides a buffer against revenge killers. Psyshock to get around the ever annoying pink blobs, Focus Blast for steel types and Signal Beam to get those grass types :D

Answer 7

I Can't belive it! No one has answered Terrakion!

Terrakion @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- X-Scissor
- Sacred Sword

Many of the same factors that make Terrakion an amazing Choice Band user lend themselves to making Terrakion one of the best Choice Scarf users in the game as well. Its blazing Speed allows it to safely revenge kill some of the biggest threats in the game. The moves are self-explanatory if you read the Choice Band set. Close Combat and Stone Edge are your two powerful STAB moves and X-Scissor covers bulky Psychic-types. The fourth slot is, once again, essentially useless, so run whatever you feel like. Rock Slide is the first option merely because its ability to flinch can be useful in a pinch, while other options such as Earthquake provide redundant coverage.

Comments

Credits to smogon.

Answer 8

Well I know that this is gonna sound kinda dumb but butterfree, dustox and beautifly. The reason for these are the perfect moveset
Butterfree / bueatyfly
Quiver dance
Substitute / sleep powder
Giga drain
Bugg buzz

Dustox
Quiver dance
Substitute / free slot for whatever
Giga drain
Bug buzz

Now this seems a bit farfeched but I managed to sweep a team with ONE butterfree... even though it is 100000% true no one bealives me still XD
Anyway. Hope this helped

Comments

it did sound dumb

---

Oh yeah.... thanks xD
Ya see. I told you no one bealives me. But just wait until i have a team of them and i end up sweeping them all. Then you will see that i was right -_-

---

Butterfree is a major threat in NU due to tinted lens and Quiver Dance with Sleep Powder to set up. It outclasses Dustox and there is no reason for using it.

---

Major threat is a bit of hyperbole. Call it a Pokemon you sometimes see in NU that requires a good amount of support before it can do anything and even then is unlikely to do much damage.

---

I guess, but Tinted Lens + Quiver Dance does do some big damage.

---

yea but Compoundeyes for sleep powder

---

That actually is a good combo,  just use disable with it, and you've got a perfect team. I get rekt  by those things a lot.

Answer 9

Absol @ life orb

Trait: Super Luck
EVs: 252 Atk/ 4 HP/ 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
- Sucker Punch
- Night Slash
- Super Power
- Megahorn

Absol is always a potent threat in RU because of that stellar attack stat. with sucker punch as a form of priority, this thing is always dangerous. Note that you could also run a similar choice scarf set. I'm not going to pretend that this thing doesn't have its drawbacks, as its speed holds it back.

---

Darmanitan @ Choice Scarf

Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk/ 4 HP/ 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly (+Atk, -SpA)
- Flare Blitz
- Rock Slide
- SuperPower
- U-turn

I'm just gonna come out and say it right now, anyone who underestimates darmanitan, and doesn't prepare for it, is doomed. With Sheer force boosts and a monsterous attack stat, it is a force to be reckoned with. honestly, how has nobody posted this?

---

Cloyster @ Focus Sash

Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk/ 4 HP/ 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly (+Spe, -SpA)
- Icicle Spear
- Shell Smash
- Rock Blast
- Razor Shell

Again how is this not posted? not only does this appear often, but teams without a counter are doomed. simple as that.

---

Cincinno @ life Orb

Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk/ 4 Spe/ 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly (+Atk, -Spe)
- Tail Slap
- Bullet seed
- Rock Blast
- Aqua Tail

This is the cutest sweeper there is. Just because it's cute doesn't mean it's not dangerous. with each attack being 125 Atk, and outspeeding most of the tier, it is a force to be reckoned with.

---

Chandelure @ Choice Scarf/ Choice specs

Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 SpA/ 252 Spe
Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk) / Modest (+SpA, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Fire Blast
- Energy Ball
- Trick

Everyone has been swept by a chandelure at least once, and it's often this one. Choice specs for extra power or scarf for speed.

---

Hitmonlee @ Normal Gem

Trait: Unburden
EVs: 252 Atk/ 4 HP/ 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant ( +Atk, -SpA)
- Fake Out
- Earthquake
- Hi Jump Kick
- Stone Edge

Undoubtedly one of the best late game sweepers in RU. That Boost from Unburden allows it to outspeed all of the tier non-boosted. Even accelgor. With nothing in it's way, it is very hard to stop.

Comments

On Cinccino it says "4 Spe/252 Spe" and BTW Jolly raises Spe and lowers SAtk.

Answer 10

There's a distinct lack of UU Pokemon here. So here I am, bringing you some of the most prominent sweepers in UU.

Ambipom @ Normal Gem
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature

Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
- U-turn

Heracross @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Megahorn
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit
The most standard Heracross you've ever seen. Wickedly powerful and excellent coverage, it's no wonder its the most common Pokemon in UU.

Porygon-Z @ Life Orb
Trait: Adaptability

Modest Nature

- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Dark Pulse
Just hits hard and out speeds almost anything after one Agility.

Raikou @ Choice Specs
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Volt Switch
Standard Specs Raikou, nothing you haven't seen before.

Rotom-Heat @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Overheat
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Trick
I've run out of synonyms for "is fast, hits hard and have good coverage."

Sharpedo @ Life Orb
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Crunch
- Waterfall
- Protect
- Earthquake
One turn of Protect results in the capacity to outrun the entire tier. Lacks a bit of cover and power, but very dangerous late game.

Victini @ Choice Band
Trait: Victory Star
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Bolt Strike
- V-create
- U-turn
- Trick/Zen Headbutt
Literally having the strongestattack in UU. Do I have to say more?

Timid Nature
- Dark Pulse

- Focus Blast
- Nasty Plot
Disguise it, troll people, hit things unexpectedly.

Sorry for lackluster descriptions at the end, I will add sprites later.

Answer 11

Okay, I've thought of one.

Roserade!

Roserade (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Natural Cure
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk/252 Spd/4 HP

~ Leaf Storm
~ Sludge Bomb
~ Sleep Powder/Hidden Power Fire/Spikes
~ Synthesis/Rest/Extrasensory

Descriptions coming soon. (maybe)

Answer 12

Continuing Here

Arbok @Choice Band
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
Ability: Intimidate
-Gunk Shot
-Seed Bomb
-Earthquake
-Fire Fang/Ice Fang/Switcheroo

The more offensive set for Arbok, since its physical movepool is pretty
diverse. Seed Bomb is there for Ground types and Ice Fang can be used
for Gliscor. Switcheroo can mess up anything trying wall you.

----------------------[PIKACHU]---------------------------
Type: Electric
Ability: Static/LightningRod (Dream World)
Base Stats: 35 HP / 55 Atk / 30 Def / 50 SAtk / 40 SDef / 90 Spd
Pros: Attack AND Special Attack are doubled with Light Ball
Cons: Extremely low defenses, can't take a hit

Pikachu @Light Ball
EVs: 6 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
Ability: LightningRod
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power [Ice]
-Encore
-Nasty Plot

With Light Ball boosting both your offenses, it can strike hard with its
special attacks especially if it gets a boost with Lightning Rod. Switch in
on an Electric move or non-damaging move, then Encore it. Then use Nasty Plot
and hit opponents with a super strong Thunderbolt. HP Ice is for Ground,
Dragon, and Grass types.

----------------------[RAICHU]----------------------------
Type: Electric
Ability: Static/LightningRod (Dream World)
Base Stats: 60 HP / 90 Atk / 55 Def / 90 SAtk / 80 SDef / 100 Spd
Pros: Good movepool for an Electric type
Cons: Low HP and Defense

Raichu @Life Orb/Air Balloon
EVs: 6 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power [Ice]
-Encore
-Nasty Plot

This moveset works exactly the same way as Pikachu's set above. Raichu's
Special Attack won't reach the same heights as Pikachu's, however Raichu
is faster and can use items like Air Balloon to give it a Ground immunity
which can help it switch in more easily.

----------------------[SANDSLASH]-------------------------
Type: Ground
Ability: Sand Veil / Sand Rush (Dream World)
Base Stats: 75 HP / 100 Atk / 110 Def / 45 SAtk / 55 SDef / 65 Spd
Pros: Good Attack and Defense
Cons: Limited movepool, outclassed by many other Ground types

Sandslash @Life Orb
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant/Jolly Nature
Ability: Sand Rush
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-X-Scissor/Brick Break
-Swords Dance

It's a poor man's Excadrill, but at least it isn't weak to Mach Punch or
Earthquake. Sandslash doesn't have many moves that make it stand out.
X-Scissor is for Grass-types, while Brick Break hits any Steel or Rock
type holding an Air Balloon.

----------------------[NIDOKING]--------------------------
Type: Ground/Poison
Ability: Poison Point/Rivalry/Sheer Force (Dream World)
Base Stats: 81 HP / 92 Atk / 77 Def / 85 SAtk / 75 SDef / 85 Spd
Pros: Diverse movepool, good offensive stats
Cons: Rather frail with weaknesses to common types

Nidoking @Life Orb/Choice Scarf
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
Ability: Sheer Force
-Earth Power
-Flamethrower/Fire Blast
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam

With an impressive array of special moves, all boosted by 30% thanks to Sheer
Force, Nidoking can use a special sweeping moveset extremely well. Earth Power
has 117 base power after Sheer Force and will hurt a wide variety of opponents
that don't resist it. Grass and Bugs are taken out with Flamethrower (or Fire
Blast) while Thunderbolt and Ice Beam deal with Flying types and have great
coverage together.

----------------------[NINETALES]-------------------------
Type: Fire
Ability: Flash Fire/Drought (Dream World)
Base Stats: 73 HP / 76 Atk / 75 Def / 81 SAtk / 100 SDef / 100 Spd
Pros: The only non-uber Pokemon with Drought
Cons: Mediocre offenses, Stealth Rock weakness

Ninetales @Leftovers/Life Orb
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
Ability: Drought
-Nasty Plot
-Flamethrower/Fire Blast
-Energy Ball
-Hidden Power [Ground]

With the awesome Drought ability, Water attacks will automatically be weakened.
This gives you time to use Nasty Plot and sweep with your special moves.
Energy Ball covers all of Ninetales's weaknesses - Water, Rock, and Ground.
Hidden Power Ground is for Heatran.

Ninetales @Leftovers
252 HP / 6 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
Ability: Drought
-Flamethrower
-Toxic
-Disable
-Substitute

On a Sun team, Ninetales is your most important member so you don't want it
to go down easily. This defensive set allows Ninetales to act more as a
staller. Use Substitute and when the opponent breaks it with an attack, use
Disable to prevent its use. Then use Toxic and stall with more Substitutes
until they faint from the poison or from Flamethrower.

Ninetales @Choice Specs
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
Ability: Drought
-Overheat/Fire Blast
-Energy Ball
-Hidden Power [Ground]
-Psyshock

Ninetales isn't the best Choice Specs Fire-type sweeper, but it can certainly
pull the job off. Overheat or Fire Blast should be used over Flamethrower for
the extra power. Choose Hidden Power Ground for Heatran. Psyshock for Fighting
types and special walls.

More are Coming.

On Ninetales, because of Drought you might wanna replace Energy Ball with Solar Beam.

So first you use endure to get to 1 hp the hitmonlee eats the Liechi Berry which raises attack then its ability unburden activates because it lost its held item well not lost eaten then its speed doubles it base speed stat is 87 so its speed is now 174! which outspeeds alot of Pokemon then spam Reversel and DESTROY

Answer 15

There's Kyruem-B, Victini and even Weavile, but no Lucario?! WHAT IS THIS?!
Lucario @ Lucarionite (Playing before Gen 6? Then use E-Belt...)
Ability: Steadfast ( Justified is a terrible HA in my opinion)
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Moves:
-Close Combat
-Iron Tail
-Swords Dance
-Drain Punch

Lucario has average 70/70/70 bulk, with great attacking stats. With Lucario's great Speed, you don't have to use priority STAB, but you can use STAB with a higher base power, like with Iron Tail over Bullet Punch, which can be useful against Power Herb/Geomancy Xerneas, but Iron Tail has much better power, forfeiting accuracy. Swords Dance is to boost an already-threatening 110 (145 when Mega Lucario) Attack stat even higher. Drain Punch is mainly for recovery, but can also hit pretty hard, with a base power of 75. Close Combat hits with a power of 180 after STAB and 240 after Adaptability STAB. Drain Punch can be swapped for Shadow Claw or Crunch if Ghosts threaten you, but otherwise, keep it.

Hope this helps!

Answer 17

I didn't see any Slakings so here's my moveset!

Slaking @ Silk Scarf
Trait: Truant

Evs: Sp. Def 252 Atk 252
Nature: Careful
- Brick Break
- Play Rough
- Yawn
- Giga Impact

This is one of my favorite sweepers because it's ability, Truant and its great stats and moves. The Giga Impact is for its huge attack stat, since its a physical move and since truant, it doesn't matter much about recharging. Play Rough for any fighting types, which its weak to. Yawn is good for tough Pokemon that won't die and are damaging you badly. Brick Break to do damage and break screens, and to take care of rock and steel types that Giga Impact can't take care of. Nature is Careful because I'm not using Sp. Atk and its Sp. Def is not good. Silk scarf is to power up Giga Impact. Please understand there is a tactic to defeat these, they can really get destroyed by protection.

Answer 20

Tyrantrum

trait-rock head
item-hard stone
evs- 252 atk / 252 spd / 4 hp

moves:
Head smash
Dragon dance
dragon tail
earthquake

I find this a good combo as a counter for a lot of megas, as long as it can hit first. This combo's main move is Head Smash, and with the hard stone and dragon dance, this thing can do serious damage, even OHKO some Pokemon. And with the ability rock head, it does not take any recoil damage. The only problem this Pokemon has is Fighting, Fairy, dragon, Water and Ground (notably, Primal Groudon and Kyogure).
