Answer 1

Dubwool @ Leftovers
Ability: Fluffy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Cotton Guard
- Body Press
- Facade
- Payback / Wild Charge / Zen Headbutt / Thunder Wave

Cotton Guard and Body Press is pretty self explanatory. Facade is just in case you get statused and also STAB. Last moveslot could be Payback to hit Ghost types, Wild Charge for coverage, Zen Headbutt for coverage against Fighting types, or Thunder Wave to paralyze opposing Pokemon.

Answer 2

Dubwool @ Leftovers
Ability: Bulletproof / Fluffy
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 Spe or 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Cotton Guard
- Body Press
- Zen Headbutt
- Facade / Body Slam / Payback

• Cotton guard
  Increase defense to very high
• Body press
  Cotton guard + 252 Def + good Def =high damage. Can run impish if you want higher damage for this move.
• zen headbutt
  Coverage
• Facade/ body slam/payback
  Facade in case you are scared of status.
  Body slam for more power and the good 30% paralyze.
  Payback to hit ghost.

Answer 3

Substitute + Cotton Guard
Gen 8 PU / ZU

Dubwool @ Leftovers
Ability: Fluffy
EVs: 132 HP / 252 Def / 124 Spe
Impish Nature
- Substitute
- Cotton Guard
- Body Press
- Payback

Sub Cotton Guard set. Substitute is for scouting and can help avoid status conditions. Cotton Guard boosts your defense. Body Press takes advantage of your boosted defense. Payback is for doing chip damage against ghost types.

Answer 4

Role: Wall/Sweeper

Dubwool @ Wide Lens
Ability: Fluffy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Cotton Guard
- Body Press
- Giga Impact / Mega Kick
- Zen Headbutt

• Cotton Guard: Dubwool already has a great defense. Cotton Guard raises the defense by 3 stages. Use this twice and Defense will be maxed out.
• Body Press: The higher the defense, the higher the damage. With Cotton Guard, you can really use this to your advantage.
• Giga Impact or Mega Kick: Both are STAB. Giga impact is more powerful, and has better accuracy than Mega Kick, but the user can't attack for one turn after using Giga Impact, so it's up to you. For Giga Impact, accuracy is raised from 90% to 100% because of Wide Lens. For Mega Kick, accuracy is raised from 75% to 85%.
• Zen Headbutt: Covers Fighting weakness and is pretty powerful. It might make the opponent flinch. Accuracy is raised from 90% to 100% because of Wide Lens.

Answer 5

Dubwool @ Leftovers
Ability @ Fluffy
EVs : 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SpD
Impish Nature ( +Def, -SpA)
- Cotton Guard
- Agility
- Body Press
- Payback
Cotton Guard and Agility so once you set up you can sweep, Body Press to take advantage of Cotton Guard, and Payback to hit Ghost types

Comments

Agility and Payback doesn't work well together. Payback has double power when you move last .

Answer 6

Dubwool @ Salac Berry
Ability: Fluffy
EVs: 252 Def/ 252 Speed / 4 HP
Impish Nature
- Facade
- Body Press
- Boton Pass
- Cotton Guard

Been seeing different types of Boton Pass Dubwool poping up again and noticed it didn't have a set here when I came to look for one.

Facade is STAB that allows you to punish if they status you while you set up Cotten guard.

Body Press works off the Def stat so Impish and Max Def to get the most use out of it.

Cotton Guard synergizes with Body Press and Botton Pass.

And Botton Pass. Use after your Salac Berry is proced to give the mon coming in +2 Def and 1+Speed. Maybe another good Body Press user or your wall.

You can't hit ghosts with this set so just Cotton Guard-->Botton Pass out or hard switch.

Answer 7

Dubwool @ Leftovers
Ability: Fluffy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Double-Edge
- Wild Charge
- Body Press
- Cotton Guard

Double Edge is STAB, and Wild Charge is for coverage. They both have recoil, but the Leftovers help massively in recovering HP. Cotton Guard + Fluffy + 100 base Defense stat basically makes this thing unkillable on the physical side, the Physical form of Blissey (kinda lol). Body Press to hit Rock/Steel types, as well as coming from a sky high Defense stat, wreaks havoc.

Have fun using this set, hope I helped! :D

Answer 8

Gen 8 AG Bps

Dubwool (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Fluffy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Cotton Guard
- Body Press
- Substitute
- Baton Pass
Pretty self-explanatory. Cotton Guard makes you harder to hit, Body Press to do damage, Substitute is for doging status and such, and Baton Pass is to pass your defenses. Use this with Mega-Wurm-erm-Scolipede to get bulky quick using speed boosts.

Answer 9

Dubwool @ Leftovers
Ability: Bulletproof / Fluffy
EVs: 252 Def / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Cotton Guard
- Body Press
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Moves:

• Cotton Guard: Increase defence to very high
• Body press: Cotton Guard + 252 Def + good Def = high damage.
• Rest: Nice way to heal up
• Sleep talk: Attack while sleeping

But you cant do anything to Ghost-types
so its better to have a Dark-type in your pocket

Answer 10

Dubwool @ Leftovers
Ability: Fluffy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature +Def - SpA
IVs: 0 Atk
- Rest
- Cotton Guard
- Sleep Talk
- Body Press

Dubwool is a solid physical wall. I run this set mainly as a quick kill set. It works especially well if there are a whole bunch of physical attackers or their special attackers are dead. I found Rest Sleep Talk to work pretty well since many people have opted to toxic it or will-o-wisp it. Sleep talk is handy to stop it from being a sitting duck. Cotton Guard and Body Press is self explanatory, you'll get a 1300 ish def Body Press.
