Wailord @ Leftovers
Water Sport
BLizzard
Rest
Sleep Talk
I hate Wailord. It may have a wonderful HP stat, but its Defenses are terrible and offenses are nothing to be proud of. I believe there are many Pokemon who outclass Wailord. It doesn't really fill any particular roles, by the way. It's neither a sweeper, or a wall. While it fills no particular roles, it's main job is to deal damage. I don't suppose Water Spout would be a healthy choice due to its lack of defenses, resulting in a larger amount of damage taken.
Wailord @ Leftovers / Choice Band
Trait: Water Veil
Nature: Adamant
Evs: 252 Attack / 252 HP / 4 Defense
- Waterfall
- Avalanche
- Earthquake
- Selfdestruct / Toxic
This set allows Wailord to deal a good amount of damage with Choice Band. Selfdestruct for when its hopeless for Wailord, or when you want to take out a threat, or if you want to see a big fat blue whale blow up into tiny pieces of Remoraid. With this set, it can get a good amount of damage directed towards the foe with good coverage too.
Metagross @ Quick Claw
Meteor Mash
Physic
Sludge Bomb
Explosion
Quick Claw is a hax item, and should not be used. Psychic and Sludge Bomb are both terrible because they have some of the worst type coverage in the game. So scrap those two moves in place for some better moves, such as Thunderpunch and Earthquake. Nothing else to say here, Explosion is okay.
Metagross @ Leftovers / Choice Band
Trait: Clear Body
Nature: Adamant
Evs: 252 Attack / 172 HP / 84 Defense
- Meteor Mash
- Thunderpunch
- Earthquake
- Explosion / Agility
Yeah, only use Agility if you chose Leftovers, but Leftovers works with Explosion too. This set gains coverage, along with a powerful STAB move. Thats about it. :x
Gyarados @ Life Orb
Dragon Dance
Aqua Tail
Hydro Pump
Avalanche
Eh, Waterfall over Aqua Tail for Accuracy reasons. Two water moves is a huge no. Hydropump needs to go. Life Orb isn't the best item since Gyarados can be a defensive Pokemon too, and Life Orb ruins its ability to defend. Avalanche can be replaced for a better move like Earthquake. I'd suggest Taunt to ruin some walls over.
Gyarados @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
Nature: Adamant
Evs: 252 Attack / 172 HP / 84 Speed
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Taunt
Taunt really screws Blissey, Skarmory, and other Pokemon over. That way its really useful to take care of some walls and trap them into offense, disabling their recovery moves.
SWAMPERT @ ???
Earthquake
Surf
Ice Beam
Facade
Leftovers for Swampert, always. It needs the HP recovery for some decent walling. Hydropump over Surf, it can 2HKO some threats that Surf can't. Facade is bleh, I'd scrap it for Curse. Curse really helps a Pokemon for walling and dealing good damage to the opponent.
Swampert @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 200 Sp.Atk / 56 Attack / 252 HP
- Earthquake
- Hydropump
- Icebeam
- Curse / Stealth Rock / Roar
Stealth Rock is nice for team, since it lacks a Spiker and a Stealth Rocker. Roar is for some shuffling. :x
Garchomp @ ???(Aint need no items! Just suggest one)
Sword Dance
Crunch
Earthquake
Dragon Rush
Yeah, you kind of do need items. o3o Life Orb is a common choice for Garchomp, its Attack stat soars while holding it. Swords Dange and Earthquake are okay. Crunch is outclassed by Fire Fang on Garchomp because it wards off some Steel walls that might wall its physical capabilities. Dragon Rush is terrible, it's accuracy is way too low for average power. Dragon Claw is a much stabler choice.
Garchomp @ Life Orb
Trait: Sand Veil
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP
- Fire Blast / Fire Fang
- Dragon Claw / Outrage
- Swords dance
- Earthquake
Blastoise @ ???
Ice Beam
Skull Bash
Hydro Cannon
Rain Dance
O_O; Hydrocannon and all other hyperbeam variants are a strict no. It completely traps and wastes a turn, since the attack is actually only 75 Power per turn after the calculations. Not to mention the trapping the next turn leaves you pretty vulnerable, and it also lets sweepers set up. Skull Bash is just like Hydrocannon, it takes two turns, but it provides even a lower power. Setting up Rain Dance just to boost one move is pretty stupid, there are much better moves you can replace Rain Dance with.
Blastoise @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
Nature: Relaxed
Evs: 252 HP / 172 Defense / 84 Sp.Atk
- Toxic
- Protect
- Icebeam
- Surf / Waterfall
Protect is like a move that lets you forsee what moves the opponent has in store for you, and you'd be able to block it. This moveset is also the ToxiStaller one. Protect lets you stall for half of the turns, while Toxic whittles down your enemy. The others are for straightforward attacking.

What are EVs?
"EV" stands for Effort Values. EV Training is a special type of training that can increase your Pokémon's strength by far! An EV trained pokémon is sure to be stronger than a non-EVed Pokémon. A Pokémon can gain the maximum of 510 EV points to split between the stats of HP, Speed, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, and Special Defense. Each individual stat can have the maximum capacity of 255 EV Points.
How do I get EV Points?
When you are in In-Game, battling specific Pokémon will give you some EVs in a certain stat. A Pokémon only gains EVs if it can gain Experience Points. Whenever it gains Experience Points, the user gets EV Points. That means that if you run away, faint, or catch the opponent - you WILL NOT get EVs.
Each Pokémon provides different EV Points when they're defeated. They give a different number of EV Points as well as EVs in different stats.
How exactly does EV training help?
Like I said before, EV training can boost your Pokémon's strength significantly! So how does it boost your strength? Well, for each 4 Points you get while EV training, you get 1 extra Point in your stats. For instance: Starly provides 1 EV Point in Speed, so if you battle 4 Starlys, then your Speed stat will get one extra point. So that means if you max out your Speed EVs, then you will gain 63 extra Speed points. That means that a maxed EVed Speed stat will have 63 more points than the non-EVed pokémon!!!
I'm EV training, but my stats don't seem to change! What am I doing wrong?
You are doing nothing wrong. The results of EV training usually don't show up until your pokémon are at a later level. But not to worry, your EV work will be 100% shown.
Tips for EV Training ...
Well, there are some guidelines you should follow. Remember how you need 4 EVs to raise a stat? Well, 255 is not divisible by 4. So that means some of the EVs have no use! That's correct. You should only get the maximum of 252 EVs in a stat. Be sure that the number of EV points you give to a stat is ALWAYS divisible by 4.
As you probably have noticed, EV training does take a long time. It requires patience and dedication in making a strong pokémon. So here's a tip: write your EV points down! Keep track of the EV points you've gained on a piece of paper - as I doubt you will be able to keep track of 252 EV Points all in your head!
Is there any way to speed up EV Training?
You're in luck: there is! Hold items can boost the amount of EVs a pokémon gains. Here are a list of items that increase EVs.
Stat Boosters - If you feed a Pokémon an item like Protein or Calcium gives you 10 EV points in the stat it raises.
HP Up --- Hit Points
Protein --- Attack
Iron --- Defense
Carbos --- Speed
Calcium --- Sp. Attack
Zinc --- Sp. Defense
Macho Brace - Macho Brace will half your speed when it is held, but whenever you EV train, it doubles your EVs gained. For instance, Starly gives 1 Speed EV Point when it is defeated. So when a pokémon holding a Macho Brace defeats a Starly, it gains not one - but 2 EV points in their stat!
Power Items - Items like Power Anklet and Power Bracer will increase the EVs Gained by +4 EVs Points. So that means if a Pokémon holding a Power Anklet (Speed) defeats a Starly(1 Speed EV), it actually gets 5 EV Points in Speed instead of 1.
-Power Anklet --- boosts Speed EV training. When defeating Pokémon who give speed EVs, the Power Anklet gives +4 in speed. For example, if you defeat a Starly you'll get 5 EVs in speed, one for initially defeating the Starly and four because your Pokémon is holding the Power Anklet
-Power Bracer --- boosts Attack EV training. When defeating Pokémon who give attack EVs the Power Bracer gives +4 in attack. For example, if you defeat a Machop you'll get 5 EVs in attack, one for initially defeating the Machop and four because your Pokémon is holding the Power Bracer
-Power Weight --- boosts HP EV training. When defeating Pokémon who give HP EVs, the Power Weight gives +4 in HP. For example, if you defeat a Bidoof you'll get 5 EVs in HP, one for initially defeating the Bidoof and four because your Pokémon is holding the Power Weight.
-Power Belt --- boosts Defense EV training. When defeating Pokémon who give Defense EVs, the Power Belt gives +4 in Defense. For example, if you defeat a Geodude you'll get 5 EVs in Defense, one for initially defeating the Geodude and four because your Pokémon is holding the Power Belt.
-Power Lens --- boosts Sp. Attack EV training. When defeating Pokémon who give Sp. Attack EVs, the Power Lens gives +4 in Sp. Attack. For example, if you defeat a Ghastly you'll get 5 EVs in Sp. Attack, one for initially defeating the Ghastly and four because your Pokémon is holding the Power Lens.
-Power Band --- boosts Sp. Defense EV training. When defeating Pokémon who give Sp. Defense EVs, the Power Band gives +4 in Sp. Defense. For example, if you defeat a Tentacool you'll get 5 EVs in Sp. Defense, one for initially defeating the Tentacool and four because your Pokémon is holding the Power Band.
Pokérus(PKRS) - Pokérus is NOT an item. It is a very rare disease obtained by battling a pokémon. The disease is even harder to obtain than a shiny pokémon! So if you get it, YOU ARE VERY LUCKY. This disease acts like the Macho Brace without the Speed halving. It doubles the EVs gained but the pokémon can still hold an item.
EV DISTRIBUTION …
You are able to choose the EVs you give a Pokémon. So I should I distribute them properly? Well, first you determine what the role of a Pokémon is. Then you are able to determine the EV Distribution. Here are some guidelines :
- A Sweeper Pokémon will have usually 252 EVs in the Speed. There are some exceptions, such as if a Pokémon holds the Choice Scarf item. (e.g. Weavile has 252 EVs in Speed.)
- A Sweeper Pokémon will have a maxed out stat in Attack OR Special Attack 70% of the time. Ignore this rule if the pokémon you are using is able to defend or is a mixed sweeper (a sweeper with both physical and special moves). (e.g. Rampardos has 252 EVs in Attack)
- A walling pokémon will usually carry a maxed out HP stat. (e.g. Milotic carries 252 HP EVs.)
- A walling pokémon usually carries 252 EVs in their Defense or Special Defense stat. (e.g. Blissey runs 252 Defense EVs)
Good Pokemon to EV Train with :
HP - | Bidoof 1 Pt | Gastrodon 2 Pts
Attack - | Machop 1 Pt | Bibarel 2 Pts | Kricketune 2 Pts
Defense - | Geodude 1 Pt | Graveler 2 Pts |
Special Attack - | Gastly 1 Pt |
Special Defense - | Tentacool 1 Pt |
Speed - | Magikarp 1 Pt | Starly 1 Pt | Zubat 1 Pt | Staravia 2 Pts |
