Flygon -
[SET]
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Earthquake
move 2: U-Turn
move 3: Stone Edge
move 4: Draco Meteor
item: Choice Scarf
ability:
nature: Naughty
EVs: 252atk/120spatk/136spd
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>The EVs generate 270 (405) speed, which is the recommended minimum to outrun scarf Heracross. If you want more, take from special attack, though this will reduce your OHKO rate on Garchomp. As is, Draco Meteor always OHKOs 4HP/min Salamence and kills 4HP/min Garchomp 56.25% of the time. U-Turn scouts your opponent's switching and Stone Edge is a likely 2HKO on even the bulkiest Gyarados you might encounter (239def/384hp). Skarmory is likely to be the default switch into Flygon, so just U-Turn straight to Magnezone and be done with it.</p>
Espeon -
[SET]
name: Sweeper
move 1: Reflect / Substitute
move 2: Calm Mind / Fake Tears
move 3: Grass Knot / Hidden Power Fighting
move 4: Psychic
item: Leftovers
nature: Timid
evs: 6HP / 252SPATK / 252 SPD
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>This is a more sweep-oriented set. The downside of this set is that Pursuit is going to do a number on you if you don't BP, so Reflect and Substitute are alternate methods of surviving that. Hidden Power Fighting should really be required for this, but Grass Knot (and really, the other options listed above) are still available. Fake Tears is a unique alternative that may allow Espeon to beat Blissey.</p>
[Other Options]
<p>Of course, there are always Choice sets, but Azelf and Alakazam are better at that due to better offensive stats or movepool. Espeon learns Wish, but is a tad too frail to pull it off well. If you have some Sunny Day support, you're free to try using Morning Sun - beware of Tyranitar, though.</p>
Leafeon -
[SET]
name: Swords Dance Pass
move 1: Leaf Blade
move 2: Swords Dance
move 3: Baton Pass
move 4: Roar / Grasswhistle
item: Leftovers
nature: Jolly
evs: 128hp/176atk/204spd
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>It comes as no surprise that the standard set for an "Eeveelution" would include Baton Pass. However, do not be fooled into thinking this set pedestrian simply because of its obviousness. Leafeon pulls off Swords Dance passing in a fashion entirely different from his predecessors with access to both Roar and a sleep inducing move. The most popular passers of attack boosts in Advance play were Celebi and Scizor; each of them was easily foiled by the switch in of Roar/Whirlwind users- Skarmory being the most popular. Leafeon overcomes that difficulty with his excellent speed (204 EV's gives him 304 -which is the minimum- feel free to max it out!) which allows him to Roar away any fellow phazers that come in to ruin his fun before they get the chance to erase your stat boosts. Grasswhistle is the other option that attempts to do the same with the benefit of incapacitating your opponent's Leafeon counter with sleep. The obvious downside is that Grasswhistle only works 55% of the time. On top of his support abilities, Leafeon can utilize his already excellent base attack score in concert with Swords Dance to take full advantage of STAB on the improved Leaf Blade.</p>
Mismagius -
[SET]
name: Perish Trap
move 1: Mean Look
move 2: Perish Song
move 3: Protect
move 4: Taunt / Substitute / Pain Split
item: Leftovers
nature: Calm
evs: 252hp/56def/196spdef
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Mismagius is also one of the few Perish Trappers, and is the best defensively. Mean Look something, use Perish Song, then Protect for the next two turns to prevent damage. Taunt is to stop Whirlwind/Roar from ruining your strategy, and Substitute if you're faster and don't want to rely on Protect's 50% chance of working the second time. Pain Split can work as a makeshift Recover, since you aren't doing any damage to them, and hopefully aren't wasting your time Perish Songing an enemy with low HP.</p>
Tyranitar -
name: Choice Band
move 1: Crunch
move 2: Stone Edge
move 3: Earthquake / Focus Punch
move 4: Pursuit
item: Choice Band
nature: Adamant
evs: 60 HP / 252 Atk / 196 Spd
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Choice Band Tyranitar is monstrously powerful. Crunch and Stone Edge both benefit from STAB and Tyranitar's massive Attack stat and will be your main methods of attack. Earthquake helps to cover some Steel types such as Magnezone and Lucario and hits Metagross and Jirachi, although Crunch does some heavy damage to the latter two already. Focus Punch hits many of his counters harder than anything else on the set.</p>
<p>Pursuit is an incredibly dangerous move on Tyranitar, for his foes anyway. Anything that doesn't enjoy taking a boosted Crunch "can run, but they can't hide". Pursuit hits a fleeing enemy for the same damage as Crunch would and OHKOs almost everything that is weak to it. With many sweepers opting to use Choice items, some good prediction and making use of Tyranitar's useful resistances can get him in for a free Pursuit to OHKO, or at least wear down opponents.</p>
Jolteon -
SET]
name: SubPasser
move 1: Baton Pass
move 2: Hidden Power Ice / Hidden Power Grass
move 3: Substitute
move 4: Thunderbolt/Charge Beam
item: Leftovers
nature: Timid
evs: 4hp/252spatk/252speed
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>It won't come as a total shock to learn that the Electric Eeveelution we love hasn't changed too much from Advance to DP. The idea here is to employ one of the fastest Substitute/Baton Pass combinations in the game while "falling back on" a respectable 319 Special Attack stat, which bolsters the Hidden Power Ice or Hidden Power Grass that cover Jolteon's inherent weakness to Ground type pokemon. HP Ice is recommended because Salamence and Garchomp pose such a big threat. Rhyperior and Swampert are the only pokemon that make HP Grass appealing, but the latter pokemon is one you should happily BP a Sub away from, to a pokemon like Gyarados or a Salamence of your own, instead of lamenting that you don't have an HP Grass that probably won't OHKO the typically-bulky Swampert anyway.</p>
<p>Jolteon can reminisce about its GSC days and Growth with the addition of Charge Beam to its movepool, but this move, while it raises Jolteon's Special Attack 70% of the time (when it hits with its 90% accuracy), doesn't change Jolteon's moveset enough to warrant a different one.</p>
Gallade -
[SET]
name: Standard
move 1: Close Combat
move 2: Psycho Cut
move 3: Night Slash
move 4: Hypnosis / Thunder Wave / Will-O-Wisp / Stone Edge
item: Expert Belt / Life Orb / Leftovers / Choice Band
nature: Adamant
evs: 236hp/252atk/20spd
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Gallade has an excellent movepool which makes it a hard pokemon to counter. With Expert Belt or Life Orb attached, Night Slash will be fending off Dusknoir with relative ease. The safest thing to switch in against Gallade would be a flying type with Intimidate (Gyarados, Salamence.) You can meet them with a well timed status move and they are crippled just like that. Life Orb is not highly recommended because it takes away Gallade's ability to take hits.</p>
[SET]
name: Swords Dance
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Close Combat
move 3: Psycho Cut
move 4: Stone Edge / Thunderpunch / Night Slash
item: Leftovers
nature: Adamant
evs: 236hp/200atk/52spdef/20spd
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>A Gallade with a Swords Dance is a force to be reckoned with. After a Swords Dance and an Intimidate from Salamence or Gyarados, Stone Edge will be a OHKO unless they are packing EVs in the defense stats. With this EV spread you are also guaranteed to survive the strongest attack that Choice Specs Salamence can throw at you. If you dislike Stone Edge's accuracy, and you are not worried about Salamence, you can just use Thunderpunch to handle Gyarados.</p>
Gardevoir -
[SET]
name: Support
move 1: Will-O-Wisp
move 2: Wish
move 3: Psychic
move 4: Grass Knot / Thunderbolt
item: Leftovers / Twistedspoon / Wise Glasses
ability: Trace
nature: Modest
evs: 252hp/136 def/24spd/96spdef
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Gardevoir stands out as a support Pokemon, with a large movepool and the ability to attack if the need arises. You mainly want to switch this in to a relatively passive Pokemon, or unSTABed Special attacks, as even though it has 115 base Special Defense, its 68 base HP means it can't take very many powerful hits. Support the team with Wish, burning any Physical attackers that attempt to switch in (such as Snorlax, Metagross, and Tyranitar, who are all common switches to Gardevoir). You shouldn't worry about killing Blissey, since if it comes in it's just letting you get off a free Wish anyway.</p>
<p>Trace gives Gardevoir much more of a chance to switch in or to help the team than Synchronize does. Electivire is an excellent Pokemon to switch Gardevoir in to, as it can't 2HKO you, and you can burn it to stop a sweep. Volt Absorb/Water Absorb Pokemon are your friends, you can "wall" Flash Fire Pokemon such as Heatran, and if you really want to take a risk, you can auto-Intimidate things like Salamence and Gyarados, although don't try to switch directly in to their attacks. </p>
Dragonite -
[SET]
name: Outrage
move 1: Dragon Dance
move 2: Outrage
move 3: Fire Blast
move 4: Earthquake
item: Leftovers / Life Orb / Yache Berry / Lum Berry
nature: Jolly
evs: 58 HP / 252 ATK / 200 SPD
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>There are very few things Dragonite does better than Salamence and Garchomp, but this is a really good example of one - Dragon Dance and the new souped-up Outrage. In the late-game, this Pokemon will out speed everything up to and including Choice Scarf Heracross after a DD, and with an added attack boost on top of 367 attack, Dragonite becomes a deadly late-game force. You can add Life Orb to strengthen the blows, or use Yache Berry to take an Ice Beam, allowing you to set up another Dance, cementing your victory. Lum Berry will cure confusion, allowing Dragonite to go for another round of Outrage without risk. Fire Blast and Earthquake take care of steel types.</p>
[SET]
name: Choice Specs
move 1: Draco Meteor
move 2: Dragon Pulse
move 3: Flamethrower
move 4: Focus Punch
item: Choice Specs
nature: Mild / Hasty
evs: 6 HP / 252 SPATK / 252 SPD
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Ordinarily, this set is much better on Salamence, but Dragonite has a surprising advantage in the form of Focus Punch. With a -Defense nature, Dragonite is capable of 70-83% on Blissey, a Pokemon that usually stymies its cousin. Otherwise, the set is simplistic - Draco Meteor does massive damage, Dragon Pulse is for sweeping, and Flamethrower takes care of most pesky steels.</p>
