    What is a good butterfree moveset.....so far this is mine

    butterfree@leftovers lvl 43
    EVs@atk, sp atk,speed
    aerial ace
    giga drain
    sleep powder
    psybeam/psychic
     
    Butterfree's set is always the same thing... no choice.

    Butterfree- [speed + atk -] @ quick claw/lum berry
    EV: sp.atk, speed
    -sleep powder (must have)
    -sunny day/HP Special/Supersonic
    -solar beam/giga drain
    -HP Fire/Psychic

    Sleep powder... your only way to get out of the mess you're in.
     
    Why sunny day? Does'nt that raise fire type moves for 5 turns?
     
    The opponent is asleep anyway. If you want higher power attacks (solarbeam) you'll need Sunny Day. Also it may help whatever other Pokemon on your team that needs Sunny Day to score some OHKOs, like Exeggutor or Shiftry.

    And the fire boost is so irrelevant as any attacks that Butterfree will die regardless of sunny day boost or not. Even a surf under sunny day is strong enough to wipe out Butterfree from most water attack user...
     
    When you said HP Special wat does HP stand for?..and wat kinna move is it?
     
    Read the Hidden Power section in the RSE FAQ or the ATG.
