it will always be a physical sweeper. you can give it Life Orb, Choice Band or Choice Scarf. there are also some novelty sets for Swords Dance and some others for dual attacking w/ focus punch.

really up to you how you want to use it.

Brick Break and Shadow Claw come in handy with my lv64 Zangoose.

I got mine on XD and trained it there. I dunno, I just trained it as I was on story. You could always just Elite 4 it with an exp. share.

I use the Choice Scarf set.

Zangoose@Choice Scarf
Nature: Jolly (for ensured outspeeding)
EV: 252 Attack/Speed
1. Return
2. Close Combat
3. Pursuit
4. Elemental Punch

Note that you CANNOT have Night Slash+Elemental Punch, since Elemental Punch is Gen III Tutor move, and Night Slash is Gen IV Egg Move.

I use the focus sash set, though both sets are awesome!

I <3 Zangoose :)

The focus sash set has been sweeping away team in the battle tower, and my cousins team when I played him online :)

DAN!
