Arcanine would be good!! and a bothersome Dusknoir might fit too. Idk about the Gallade tbh.

Well the three i have chosen, none share the same weakness.

And the Drapion covers Quagy. And Quagy covers Togekiss.

Not fully sure how i should set up the Dusknor. Maybe a trick room to boost with Drapion or something... :/

I'll look into arcanine :)

Give it Pain Split(which is an egg move), earthquake or shadow punch, trick room and will o wisp? (stole that from smogon rofl)

K,

Drapion- using sleep-talk has a 50% chance of doing nothing? I would get a new moveset, (i'll post one soon)

Togekiss- Kings rock is banned from the standard competive play, & Air-slash covers fighting types so extrasenory would be a waste, Hows nasty-plot instead with a life-orb?

Quagsire- seems perfect xD

Edit- If your running toxic spikes on drapion, dont use toxic with quagsire.

I'll vm you.--------------

For me, a good lead would be

[email protected] Life orb
Technician
252 Atk 252 Spd 6 Hp

Bullet Punch
U-turn
Bug bite/Superpower
Pursuit

Just a standard lead, able to scout out the opposition, and deal out massive damage with STAB u-turn/Bug bite.

Aerodactyl is a really good lead, you don't have any Ground or rock moves besides the Auagsire which are the only attack moves the lead moveset has, so you should be good as far as diversity goes.
Jolly Aerodactyl @Focus Sash
Evs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Stealth Rock
Taunt
Earthquake
Rock Slide
It's fast, it can prevent the foe from setting up on you, and it allows you to set up in return.

Oh i forgot to edit this post. No one was really replying :P

i put together an infernape lead but.. His stats seem to low.. i'm not sure whi I EVd him and he had a pretty good IV spread

robbo5002 August 12th, 2010 11:19 AM

Well my lead is my gallade, it has: brick break, psycho cut, leaf blade and X-Scissor, with the moves it has it is likley to score a super effective on more than half of the different types. It really is a great pokemon :D hope that helped
