What are your favorite Novelty Movesets/Pokemon? I'm thinking things that would work in a casual competitive battle. One of my favorites is:


Trevenant
Ability: Harvest
Item: Chesto Berry(Cures Sleep)
Moveset:
Rest
Protect
Shadow Force
Curse

The basic idea is to hit with Curse right up front, and then stall until they're KO'd.
Rest Allows for recovery, while the berry wakes you up right away, and then harvest brings your berry back to re-set. Stalling with protect and Shadow Force also allows time for harvest to activate and restore your berry.

Kingdra @ Scope Lens
Ability: Sniper
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Focus Energy
- Draco Meteor
- Hydro Pump
- Agility

Stupidly cheesy, you can OHKO just about anything once set up. Any semi-decent player won't let you but it's hilarious when you pull it off.

So this is basically a set-up geared towards getting boosted critical hits every turn?

Yes, using Focus Energy will put you at 100% Crit chance when combined with Scope Lens. Agility will let you outspeed everything that could revenge kill you. Draco Meteor and Hydro Pump give you high base damage and great neutral coverage.

Anyone else have some nifty set-ups? Theres also always the F.E.A.R. setup. It's definitely one I'd consider cheap, but beating a level 100 with a level 1 is definitely a novelty.
