Is there an official Gen V tier list yet?

No, no there isn't. There is, however, a Ban List, containing all of the Pokemon that are currently banned from OU play, as well as a Threat List, which contains many of the Pokemon that will end up in OU or BL, most likely.

Thanks for that!

I'm also thinking of using a mixed attacking Growth Serperior.

Although Musharna isn't that popular, here's a set for it.

Bold Nature
Ability: Synchronize
-Psychic/Psycho Shock
-Calm Mind
-Baton Pass
-Magic Coat

-Fly
-Quiver Dance

Well, I suggest changing it to this:

- Flamethrower / Heat Wave
- Quiver Dance
- Wild Charge / Psychic (Psychic does same damage and same accuracy but no recoil)
- Big Buzz

Big Buzz is a very powerful and reliable move, with 90 power and 100 accuracy. It may also lower the attacked pokemon's special defense, and goes with quiver dance.

I took out Fly and replaced it with an option between Flamethrower and Heat Wave. (They are about the same. The only difference is that Heat wave has 10 less accuracy, but 5 more power.) I don't really like moves like Fly because while you are 'up in the sky' the opponent can switch to a pokemon that can make the whole 2 turns a waste.

Well, that's my opinion. Or you can go with what dragonomega said.

This is the standard Ferrothorn set;

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SpD
Ivs: 0 Speed
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spe)
- Spikes
- Leech Seed / Stealth Rock
- Power Whip
- Gyro Ball / Thunderwave / Protect
Standard set for it.

Thanks, that helped alot. :D

 

[rippedupmemories]

ok im breeding bibarel and empoleon (<--- FEMALE) any good egg moves or anything the baby piplups?

 

[Gothitelle.]

omg no! :( What's it doing with Fly and Wild Charge? :(

Volcorona @Life Orb
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid/Modest Nature
-Quiver Dance
-Fiery Dance
-Bug Buzz
-Hidden Power [Ground/Rock]

Standard set for it. :( Fly should be burned.

Mostly fer it tew get meh tew places. At the same time, mai Hydreigon has Fly. Which on her, (I named her Gothie), I'm still thinking of some good moves.

Volcarona, when it comes tew Wild charge, it's tew make up fer it's flying weakness. (but then again, I have Gothitelle for that. Not the Hydreigon, I mean the real one).

 

[Rionix]

just wondering what would be the best possible moveset for a physical sweeper Raichu?

thank you..

 

[Apex]

Would this be good for a Special Sweeper for Gallade?

Gallade w/ ***
Jolly or ***
Lv.100
Moveset -

- Drain Punch
- Hypnosis
-Shadow Sneek
- Bulk Up

(***) Not sure what to put there
​

 

[Perriechu]

just wondering what would be the best possible moveset for a physical sweeper Raichu?

thank you..

Um, Raichu it's self is barely used never mind a Physical one. :( I'd go with this though;

Raichu @Life Orb/Air Balloon
EVs: 6 Hp / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Volt Tackle / Wild Charge
- Fake Out
- Brick Break
- Return

That's the best I could come up with. Wild Charge for less damage and recoil or Volt tackle for more damage and more recoil, your choice. Fake out to break sturdy and focus sash leads. Brick break to deal with steel and rock types. Return is just a filler move (Which can be powerful) Life Orb for more power Air Balloon for resisting ground moves.

Would this be good for a Special Sweeper for Gallade?

Gallade w/ ***
Jolly or ***
Lv.100
Moveset -

- Drain Punch
- Hypnosis
-Shadow Sneek
- Bulk Up

(***) Not sure what to put there
​

Um, no. :( First of Gallade would be a sucky special sweeper, secondly, you have no special attacks, finally, you have Bulk up which raises Attack & Defense. D':

But I'll post a Gallade set in case that's what you meant. :]

Gallade @Leftovers
240 HP / 40 Atk / 216 SpD / 12 Spe
Careful Nature (-Spa; +SpD)
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Ice Punch/Stone Edge
- Shadow Sneak

Use Bulk up to raise your amazing attack and mediocre defense, Drain Punch is for STAB and can act to heal of your damage, Ice Punch is for Dragons and Grass types, whilst Stone Edge deals with Bugs and Flyers. I'd go with Ice Punch. Shadow Sneak is for a priority, breaking Sashes such.

Thank you for this sir.. yeah, even though Raichu's not used quite often, I wanna battle with a team that has all the pokemons I like in it.. Anyways how about a support Raichu? I already have a parent who has the move "Wish". I know Wish is essential for supports, what are the possible others?

Thank you again sir..

Well I wouldn't go for a supporter Raichu. D': With 60/55/80 being his Hp/Def/SpD it's not looking good. D': I don't think Supporter Raichu has ever been used, but I'll try. :x

Raichu @Leftovers
252 Hp / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Nature: Bold (+Def; -Atk) or Careful (+Spd; -Spa)
- Wish
- Protect
- Toxic
- Thunderbolt

Start of with Wish, then toxic, then Protect to stall for Leftover healing, Wish to activate and Toxic to drain away Hp. Thunderbolt so your not shut down by taunt.

Ergh sorry. :( The best I could do.

 

[Zenfyre]

I just hatched two great Litwicks with Modest natures but I'm not sure which one to choose. Their IVs are:

Litwick A - 26 / 4 / 22 / 31 / 30 / 28 (has Flame Body and Hidden Power [Bug])
Litwick B - 18 / 6 / 28 / 31 / 12 / 28 (has Flash Fire and Hidden Power [Ice])

One has better IVs and the other has a more useful ability/Hidden Power. If anyone can help me choose that would be appreciated.

That is a Bulky Gallade set, hence the set name "Bulk Up!" D':

Anything else, other than a choice band/scarf (Which isn't Bulky) is rubbish.

Don't post a Youtube video though! >:

The one with Flash Fire is going to be the one you want. The ability is just too important. :x

Okay then, thanks! An extra immunity for free switch-ins is always nice. :)
