Is it better to have a Zebstrika as a lonely nature or a Jolly nature also what move set would be best for it?

Despite of Zebstrika's base 100 Attack stat, Zebstrika should be used more as a special attacker since its physical movepool is undesirable. A Modest/Timid natured one is what you should aim for, preferably the former since it already has that impressive base 116 speed stat.
If you have Sap Sipper, running a physical attacking set would be somewhat viable, but a special attacker set would still be the superior choice.

(this is more of a VGC set though)
Is there a good physical move set because I have enough Specials
There's not really that much you can do. You could go like, Return, Wild Charge, Double Kick and Overheat, running a mixed set (latter to hit grass types such as Amoonguss which you can do little to otherwise due to it being physically defensive usually) but really you're better off with special or nothing at all. Eelektross works better as a physical Pokemon (although overall it's better off with the special sets usually), where you can use Wild Charge/Drain Punch/Dragon Tail/Coil/Subsitute (one of the latter two, or skip on Dragon Tail, etc up to you but without Dragon Tail it's walled by Golurk).
Are there any decent Physical and fast pokemon that can be used?
is there any mixed wall water type to take place of slowking?
Ninetales can always set up Sunny Day when up against opposing weather inducers. HP Ice is the preferred HP type for special attacking sets; it has no reason for using Hidden Power when it's using a defensive set.I need help understanding the roles of weather starters. I want to breed all four weather starters. My main issue is dealing with Speed. It is my understanding that the slower Pokemon gets the lasting weather effect. Now does this mean you want a low Speed IV? A Speed hindering nature?
I fully intend on breeding Max IV in everything but Speed. So what I need to know is the desired Speed IV, nature and any egg moves for these Pokemon. Also a desired Hidden Power unless this changes from person to person.
Abomasnow
Ninetails
Politoad
Tyranitar
I guess if you have the info for Hippowdon I can breed those later.
Well the reason I asked is because I like perfection. Basically from what you've said none of their speed IV matter? So I can have 0 or 31?
I do not understand tiers.
So a NU team means that you can only use NU pokemon? Who is there to stop me from putting a NU and a OU together?
I don't even know what that is. I just battle via friend code or on random matchup

Moveset needs work. Acid Armor is only good for Baton Pass sets:This is a simple question. I have this Vaporeon and I have trained it to level 100; I just wanted to know how it will fare in the metagame. I was redirected from the Quick Question thread to here so mods...don't delete this.
Vaporeon
Bold (Often dozes off) @ leftovers
HP: 464 AtK: 123 Def: 221 SP ATK: 229 SP Def: 220 Speed: 168
Surf, Toxic, Acid Armour, Protect
Should I rebreed or this a good Vaporeon?
