Hello. I was thinking of a Legendary in my team, but I just can't decide which I should add. I have all games, so I can get all.

My favorites are:
  • Articuno
  • Moltres
  • Raikou
  • Regirock
  • Azelf

Can anyone help my with the EV Spreads and movesets? I'd prefer some for the ones you can easily Soft-Reset for, because the others are a pain in the ass to get a right IV'ed and natured one for.

If you want EV sets, then you are going to have to work for natures because each set works with the nature. I list a couple of the sets that I know of for the Legends you listed and you can take a look over them.

Articuno @ Leftovers
Pressure / Calm Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 96 DEF / 96 Sp. DEF / 64 Sp. ATK
- Ice Beam
- Roost
- Roar
- Reflect / Heal Bell / Toxic / Tail Wind

I do believe that this is the standard set for Articuno. I think the set is supposed to work when you have Spikes or Stealth Rock (though I would go with Spikes since Articuno has a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock) and to shuffle the opponents Pokemon around with Roar. The last slot helps with Articuno's support role. Out of the four listed I would go with the one that would help your team out more. I would personally pick Reflect due to the DP metagame, which consists of a physical style.

Moltres @ Leftovers
Pressure / Timid Nature
EVs: 252 Sp. ATK / 252 SPD / 6 HP
- Flamethrower
- Air Slash
- Roost
- Will-O-Wisp / Safeguard / U-Turn

Will-O-Wisp provides burn support to the team and is very useful to cripple the attack of incoming Rock types. Safeguard stops the standard from Blissey doing anything to Moltres and you can stall out her PP with Pressure and Roost. U-Turn to escape from counters while getting in a light hit.

Raikou @ Leftovers
Pressure / Timid Nature
EVs: 172 Sp. DEF / 152 SPD / 128 HP / 56 Sp. ATK
- Discharge / Thunderbolt
- HP Ice / HP Grass
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

I don't know much about Raikou since I've never EV Trained him, but I know my friend uses the Sleep Talk set and it works all right. This Raikou is meant to take more special hits than physical and can stay out in the fight longer when you play him conservatively

Regirock @ Leftovers
Clear Body / Careful Nature
EVs: 252 Sp. DEF / 204 HP / 52 DEF
- Stone Edge
- Hammer Arm / Earthquake
- Explosion / Ice Punch / Counter
- Curse

Curse is a really good choice on Regirock in my opinion, as it boosts his all right attack and sends his Defense through the roof. Between the choice of Hammer Arm and Earthquake it depends on which Pokemon your team covers. Hammer Arm helps take down Tyranitar and Earthquake helps against Metagross. Then in your third slot, which to me is a tough choice. Explosion takes out almost anything after a Curse, Ice Punch covers Ground types (ex: Garchomp and Gliscor), and Counter can grab a surprise KO on Pokemon like Rhyperior, who resist Explosion.

Azelf @ Life Orb
Levitate / Timid Nature
EVs: 252 Sp. ATK / 220 SPD / 36 HP
- Nasty Plot
- Psychic
- Flamethrower
- HP Fighting

Nasty Plot Azelf is an awesome because after a single boost there are but few Pokemon that stand in its way. With Life Orb, Azelf can 3HKO Blissey and 2HKO Snorlax with a boosted Psychic. Flamethrower tears through Steel types who resist his STAB attack and also has the possibility to OHKO a Weavile switch-in. Hidden Power Fighting helps counter all Dark types as well as Heatran.

Azelf dooesnt need Explosion to drop Blissey, its great with Hidden Power Fighting it 2hko's Blissey after a Nasty Plot with it, which is standard to kill Tyranitar in addition who walls it otherwise, you can also put on Grass Knot to kill Ttar..

Whats more scary is that it can threaten to 3hko Blissey even with life Orb'd Psychic after a Nasty Plot


Moveset is this


[email protected] Orb
36 HP / 220 Spd / 252 SpAtk
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Flamethrower
- Hp Fighting/Grass Knot
- Nasty Plot
