Ok I am trying to make the "Best"* team ever And I need Help with a special sweeper I have a few choices of pokemon for the job.(btw no Ubers wanted)
-Alakazam
-Porygon Z
-Gengar
-Espeon
-Glaceon
-Roserade
-Gardevoir

Those are the pokemon that I thought of as a potential Special Sweeper.Please tell me which one you think would be a good Choice or if you have another suggestion then feel free to say it.Please do not make movesets for it until I choose which pokemon I am going to use!Thank you for all your help in advance!

Alakazam - Huge threat to Weavile
PorygonZ - only great with choice Scarf
Gengar - Pretty good but needs speed
Espeon- No.
Glaceon - No.
Roserade - Fails on lower speed
Gardevoir - only works with Choice Scarf

I would pick Gengar since it has 3 1/2 immunities. Plus immunity to poison condition and diverse

What bout Starmie? It saved my arse countless times XD works as a rapid spinner too. I prefer the all-out sweeper version though.

[email protected] Orb
Timid
252 Spd/252 Sp atk/4 HP
Surf
Ice beam
T-bolt
Psychic/Recover

This thing is a monster. Only Blissey is a threat. I go with psychic because I dont have any Gengar counters.

There is no "best" special sweeper nor "best" team. Every pokemon has it's own different purpose.

Actually, I did read it. I also read your title. Notice how there isn't a * in the title.
