Gentle = no for Regirock, as it will lower his defense. He wants careful/impish.

Regirock @ Leftovers
Careful
252 HP / 6 Def / 252 Sp Def
Toxic
Stealth Rock
Stone Edge
Hammer Arm / Earthquake / Ice Punch

This is a great supporting set. Toxic or Stealth Rock on switches. The last slot is up to you, and ALWAYS use him in a sandstorm so he can get a much needed Special Defense boost.

Please.
Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Impish
252 HP / 228 Def / 28 Speed
Power Whip
Leech Seed
Sleep Powder
Knock Off

Great set...When used correctly, It'll cause all kinds of havoc...Seeding, knocking items off, and putting stuff to sleep.

You're looking for a Giratina? Well, it gets a Ghost/Dragon boost from Platinum Orbe, so I'll give you a good hitter.

Draco Meteor (STAB) (EV) (ITEM)
Thunder (EV)
Hidden Power [Fire] (EV)
Shadow Ball (STAB) (EV) (ITEM)
Nature: Modest
EV's 252 Hit Points/252 Sp. Attack/4 Defence

Also, why does everyone use all points, I leave a few extra... Yes, I do that.

This works kind of like a suicide lead

Celebi @ Leftovers / Focus Sash
Bold
252 HP / 232 DEF / 20 Speed
Stealth Rocks
Thunder Wave
Leech Seed
Grass Knot / HP Ice

Para the first guy, Stealth rock, leech seed, para etc. If you get statused, switching out is a very good tactic.

The question is, does it work?

Yes it does work.

Recover>> Leech Seed imo, lets you live longer and counter Gyarados better.

Grass Knot should be primary option and non negotiable.

If your using HP ice, use it >> either T-Wave or SR.


Celebi is WAY too bulky for a sash, leftovers plox. Oh and dont lead with it, other things do that way better =/.

THe point is to cause switches to spread around twave, it brings down leads like zelf and aero. Leech seed is there to also CAUSE switches too, HP ice is for stupid grasses =_=

I don't really follow you. Why switches? I just stall, but usually make switches and 11HKO [or under...] them after I throw Toxic.

Causing switches to spread para ?
And stealth rock hurts them as they switch, but leech seed gives them all the more reason to switch

Now I understand. Plus, Leech Seed can also wipe off any damage received. [You are nuts...] Also, I guess you're set, but change the EV's to:
228 HP / 252 Speed / 34 Sp. Attack
And you got yourself an annoyer. Gives off a minimal boost to Grass Knot, moves first chance increased by over 10x and HP may be a little lower than expected.

Knock off does damage anyway, which will negate that sash's effects all on it's own. Knocking it off is irrelevant. You're better off going with a support set and maxing out HP and Defense. But honestly, Spiritomb outclasses it in every way and makes for an infinitely better lead.

Spiritomb @ leftovers
Careful
252 HP / 140 Att / 116 Sp Def
Sucker Punch / Taunt
Pursuit / Taunt
Pain Split
Will-o-wisp

Go with this > Sableye please...It can deal with other leads with taunt, cripple physical attackers with WoW and heal with pain split.

Mild nature
Close Combat
Shadow Ball
Hidden power ice /Ice punch if giving more attack EVs
Stone Edge

Pritty much Standard Choice Scarf Lucario.

It looks like a pretty nice special sweeping set. However, I was looking for a MIXED set. Still need help on Dialga and Arceus as well. If you can't find it, I'll quote the rest of my post.

Would this work at all as a lead?:

[email protected] Berry
252 hp/252 atk/6 Def
Adamant/Early Bird
- Sub
- Brick Break
- Ice Punch
- Earthquake

It's basically supposed to fill the role as Machamp, but I'm getting kind of sick of him. I see a lot of T-Tar leads these days, so I can set up a sub on the turn it DDs, then brick break on the second. Ice Punch is for gliscor and dragons, and EQ is for heatran wanting to switch in and ruin your fun.

soo, would it work? I don't have time to test this out

You could use starmie with

[email protected]
timid nature
natural cure
special atk252/spe252/special def 6
thunder
icebeam
Hydropump/surf
grass knot/rapid spin

dont use rapid spin in the BT,i just put it there because........?
Grassknot for swampert,ice beam for grass types,water type moves for stab and rain power and thunder to be accurated by rain.

overall i would keep kaboutops but this set is just if you prefer,you can also create a lapras set like this using icebeam surf/pump and thunder but ill let you find that one out yourself

oh and finally,dragon pulse is not needed on kingdra cus you have icebeam.
kingdra should have HPelectric but you dont want hidden power,if you try and get HPelectric,well lucky you

Wait, what ?

Both those have Taunt and 3/4 moveslots are non attacking and both take lol damage from both HP ice and Grass Knot, so no you dont beat azelf and aero.

Honestly there are much better suicide leads than celebi.

But as a support pokemon (T-Wave/SR or Hp Ice/Grass Knot/Recover) is a great set, use it as a support poke and not a lead though.
