    I am going to make a Novelty normal-typed team. Before i posts movesets, i need to decide what is going in the team. Here are my thoughts...


    Phys Sweeper - Slaking/Tauros/Kangaskhan
    Spec Sweeper - Bidoof/Togekiss/PorygonZ
    Physical Tank - Miltank
    Spec. Sponge - Snorlax. NOT Blissey.
    Baton Passer - Girafarig
    PHazer/Status Absorber - Ursaring(guts)

    Yeah so, tell me what to use. Make changes if you wish. No Blissey. Just no. I hate Blissey. Dont like Girafarig, but what else can do it? Will post movesets when team is decided.
    BTW: Scrappy kangas hits spiritomb for 2x with hammerarm.
     
    Where's the love for poor old Zangoose?

    Ambipom makes a nice Nasty Plot Baton Passer...

    Persian is a fast sleep inducer
     
    Persian needs to be there. And Swellow can also status absorb.
     
    Why is Ursaring not in there >=o
    His Quick Feet makes Paralysis abusers screw off. Swellow can be used to absorb Burns.
    EDIT: now I see it lol
     
    Bibarel is actually quite rape with it's Simple Ability.

    I also enjoy the whole Fake Out/Last Resort set on an Ambipom.

    But that's just a couple suggestions.
     
    Use a Normal-Type BPer and Bibarel to wreak havoc.

    Usable/Semi Usable Normal BPers and their move that could be used:
    -Ambipom: Agility, NastyPlot, Psych Up
    -Girafarig Calm Mind, Psych Up
    -Togekiss Psych Up, Nasty Plot, and Mabye Ancientpower could work with Serene Grace.

    All 3 of these got better options that BPing, but the only other options are Furret, Delcatty, Spinda, and Lopunny. Or Eevee, if you're into that kind of thing :/
     
    BTW, Girafarig isn't normal type, is it?
     
    My answers.................in a pointless number format!!
    1) So, baton passer - Ambipom. Nastyplot/agility/BP

    2) For the Phys. sweeper, i prefer Slaking to Zangoose because its faster and can take a few hits.

    3) I would rather a Serene Grace/Airslash Togekiss.

    4) Ursaring is too slow to benefit from Quick feet. (base 55 spd. Jolly+QFeet=base91) So it think guts works better. Then i at least get to use his nice attack(base 130. Adamant+guts=195).

    5) Persian is pretty fragile. Hypnosis has 70% accuracy, so its a gamble.

    6) Can anything Spikes/StealthRock well? Shame no-one can Rapidspin.
     
    Quick Feet Doubles Speed.
     
    Miltank can use Stealth Rock, although he probably has better moves

    CScarf Zangoose is quite a threat, or CB if you prefer power... I don't like Slaking (in single battles) due to Traunt

    Zangoose@Choice Band/Scarf
    Jolly/Adament Nature
    EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
    -Close Combat/Focus Punch
    -Return
    -Night Slash
    -X Scissor/Aerial Ace

    Return hits things hard, the fighting move takes care of Rock and Steels who resist Return, Night Slash destroys Ghosts who resist Return + Fight. Last move is really optional, I prefer Aerial Ace for Heracross who likes to rain on your parade, but X Scissor hits Grass types hard
     
    I'd be tempted to run CS and Jolly so you can outspeed max speed CSHera, who would be a huge threat to your team otherwise

    Sounds good. Testing a team with miltank and slaking now on shoddy.



    EDIT:



    OK. Here are some movesets to criticise.

    Togekiss @ ???
    SereneGrace
    Timid/Modest 252 Sp.atk+spd, 6Sp.def
    -Air Slash
    -AncientPower
    -BodySlam/Extremespeed
    -Aura Sphere

    Bodyslam is for 60% parahax and Extremespeed is for hitting faster things. They are running off a negative nature, they arent made for damage.

    Zangoose @ Cscarf
    Jolly, 252 Atk+spd, 6 HP
    -Crush Claw/Return
    -Night Slash
    -X-scissor
    -Close Combat

    Scarf to hit fast. Umm does it need explaining?

    Ursaring@Toxic Orb(Quickfeet)
    Adamant, 252 Atk, 100 Spd, 160 HP
    -Facade
    -Night Slash
    -Close Combat
    -Earthquake

    Toxic orb to activate quick feet + Facade. Other moves for coverage.

    Snorlax @ lefties (thickfat)
    Sassy? 200 HP, 100 Def, 180 Sp.def, 30 atk
    -Crunch
    -Double-Edge/Return
    -Fire Blast
    -Rest/Sub/EQ

    Doubleedge because Snorlax has high HP. Crunch to hit ghosts. Fire blast sounds bad but it hits skarm a bronzong nicely. It is unexpected and works well on shoddy. Unsure for last move. Sub gives at least on free lefties heal, Rest is better, but lets someone switch in (could switch to heal bell from Miltank). EQ to hit TTar.

    I have decided miltanks set. Cleric/PhysWall. Ambipom has Nastyplot, agility, BP, double hit(technician).
     
    No Linoone an Lickilicky? :(

    Licki with custap berry + Explosion is just awesome. STAB on BOOM. ouch!
    And Linoone could potentially sweep an entire team after a Belly Drum.

    Linoone @ Salac Berry (Gluttony)
    Adamant, 252 Atk, 136 Spd, 120 HP
    -Belly Drum
    -Substitute
    -Shadow Claw
    -Extremespeed

    It's hard to get Linoone with Extremespeed, I have one, but I had to buy the Pokemon Box game just for that..

    But this is walled by Rock/Steel types
     
    What about Snorlax, i want him as a spec sponge. Sleep talker is dodgy. Curselax maybe. What do you guys think of my moveset?

    EDIT: new idea!!

    Lax @ lefties (thick fat)
    Impish | 160 HP, 100 Def, 148 Sp.def, 100 atk
    -Curse
    -Fire Punch
    -BodySlam/Return
    -Rest/Sub

    Firepunch is unusual on the normal Curselax, but it hits ghosts (bodyslam doesnt) and smashes Skarm and Bronzong. It basically offers much better coverage than crunch. Substitute is a nice possibilty as it gives you a free leftovers recovery and if the opponent doesnt break it, you get another turn of recovery. It also gives you something to curse behind and stops burn problems.
