    "Only Shedinja, Lanturn and a few others can handle a Boltbeamer" ~frostweaver

    So Boltbeamers are good... humm...

    Lanturn @ Petaya Berry/Choice Band/Lum Berry/Leftovers
    [+ Sp. Attack, - Attack] Trait: Volt Absorb
    {EVs: 0 for attack, and put it all in Sp. attack}
    Thunderbolt
    Ice Beam
    Surf
    HP Grass

    And...? o__o
     
    Thunderbolt and Ice Beam are helpful, because they can stand alone as the damaging attacks that a Pok?mon uses.

    You don't need Surf and HP Grass.

    It doesn't:

    (a) have enough SpAt power to Special sweep effectively.
    (b) need other Special Attacks, since Ice Beam and Thunderbolt cover all but three monsters -- granted, you won't KO many Special tanks.


    It should:

    (a) have some other disabling moves (i.e. Confuse Ray, Thunderwave). You may want to put rest on since it has high HP.
     
    Let's see then:

    Lanturn@Lum Berry/Chesto Berry
    EV: 252 Sp Att, 129 Sp Def, 129 Speed
    Nature: + Sp Att/Sp Def, - Att
    Ice Beam
    Thunderbolt
    Surf
    Rest/Confuse Ray/Toxic/Attract

    Chesto Rest if you feel like it, or just play around with annoyance moves.
     
    Hey wheres porygon 2??
    he makes an awesome boltbeamer IMO

    Porygon 2 [modest]
    EVs - hp, SpDef, SpAtt
    thunderbolt
    ice beam
    toxic
    recover

    u can always try thunderwave over toxic if u like
    too bad he doesn't get flamethrower

    oh well
    PS magneton owns this thing
    well...............oh well


    surf is a must on lanturn so to deal with magneton if one ever pops up

    Without Surf, you can get owned by Dugtrio... Even Steelix would beat up that Lanturn...
    You get owned with or without it for Dugtrio O.o;

    Lanturn- [sp.def or sp.atk + / atk -] @ leftovers/chesto berry
    EV: hp, sp.def, sp.atk
    -ice beam
    -thunderbolt
    -toxic
    -rest

    Why is Lanturn going up against physical giants to begin with, is beyond me, but Lanturn is an awesome special sponger with high hp and decent sp.def. Toxic can cause a pain for many stallers (Lanturn ALWAYS have toxic back in the days of 202 where it's ALWAYS coming down to Lanturn vs Regice, and the two of them just keeps hurling toxic at one another then rest up for a major stallfest), and its quite an ideal Pokemon to use rest, chesto or not as well.
     
    Regice@Leftovers
    - Ice Beam
    - Thunderbolt
    - Rest
    - filler

    In my opinion the best boltbeamer, only 5 basepower Sp.Atk less than porygon but has stabbed Ice Beam

    Alakazam@Petaya Berry/Leftovers
    - Psychic
    - Thunder Punch
    - Ice Punch
    - Fire Punch/Calm Mind/Recover

    Same stuff only with the punches :)
