![[PokeCommunity.com] Bringing Sexy Back ["NU" RMT] [PokeCommunity.com] Bringing Sexy Back ["NU" RMT]](https://www.arkeis.com/images/pokemonfactory/corsola.png)
Corsola @ Choice Specs
Modest Nature • 252 HP / 252 SpA / 6 Spe
○ Explosion
○ Surf
○ Ice Beam
○ HP Grass
Special Sweeper? Anyway, for what used to be the NU tier, Corsola isn't so bad. A Choice Speced Explosion is potent even with Corsola's mediocre Special Attack. This set has even been used in UU, but I'm not going to take that risk. HP Grass is for the Water types in "NU", while Ice Beam is for the Flying types. Surf is for pretty much anything else.

Wigglytuff @ Choice Band
Adamant Nature • 252 Atk / 148 Def / 108 SpD
○ Ice Punch
○ Brick Break
○ Body Slam
○ Thunderpunch
Physical Sweeper? Ice Punch is nice coverage in NU. As I did with Corsola, I ignored all set-up moves. Why would I need them? Brick Break hit the Normals in "NU", and Body Slam is for STAB and Paralysis. Thunderpunch is always nice. Wigglytuff never has had any real counters in NU, so I thought it would make a nice addition.

Ledian @ Life Orb
Jolly Nature • 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
○ Swords Dance
○ Aerial Ace
○ Brick Break
○ Double-Edge
Physical Sweeper? Admittedly, the coverage here isn't great, but after a SD with Life Orb, Ledian is nothing to scoff at. True, Double-Edge is suicide with Life Orb, but "NU" matches generally end quickly anyway. Setting up will using happen when a Special Attacker is out on the field. Ledian's 110 Base Special Defense will come in handy.

Magcargo @ Leftovers
Bold Nature • 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
○ Flamethrower
○ Recover
○ Earth Power
○ Stealth Rock
Wall? Stealth Rock isn't common in "NU", but it's appropriate with the lack of Rapid Spin and abundance of Bug and Flying types. Recover keeps this thing alive for a pretty decent amount of time. Flamethrower is for Bug types. I invested 4 EVs into Speed so that it can just barely outspeed Standard Magcargo and it hit with an Earth Power. This thing is pretty nice in "NU".

Castform @ Damp Rock
Modest Nature • 80 Def / 252 SpA / 176 Spe
○ Rain Dance
○ Weather Ball
○ Ice Beam
○ Thunder
Special Sweeper? Pretty self-explanatory. Set up with Rain Dance and then Thunder or Weather Ball. Ice Beam is for the Flying types when Rain Dance is not active, and Thunder is for Waters and Flyings during Rain Dance. It's just the Standard Rain Dance set.

Parasect @ Focus Sash
Careful Nature • 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SpD
○ Spore
○ Toxic
○ X-Scissor
○ Aeromatherapy
Support? Parasect's typing is unfortunate, but not too unfortunate for "NU". The moves and their purposes are pretty obvious. This is just a bit of a filler.
