This Moveset Tho XD

[ZxFlashFreezexZ]

Haha, I'm going with this new moveset for tournaments! I know Mean Look and Light Screen would have been better than Hypnosis and Rest, but they're not allowed on Politoeds in Pokemon Showdown.

Loki (Politoed) (M) @ Absorb Bulb
Ability: Water Absorb
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 126 Def / 126 SpD / 4 Spe
Careful Nature
- Perish Song
- Hypnosis
- Protect
- Rest

If you see any way to improve my moveset/ability/EVs, please tell me! :)

In OU teams, Politoed should use the Drizzle ability, as this is the ability that made it viable in the first place last generation by doubling the Speed of Pokemon with the Swift Swim ability, powering up Water moves, making Hurricane and Thunder perfectly accurate, and lessening Fire weaknesses. Your current Politoed set is also Taunt bait:
-Scald
-Toxic/Hypnosis
-Encore/Perish Song
-Rest
Nature: Calm
EVs: 248 HP/164 SDef/96 Spe
Item: Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle

In Uber teams, Mega Gengar does Perish Song abuse better because Shadow Tag prevents its targets from switching out, saving up a moveslot for something else, while (Primal) Kyogre is the better rain setter.

Once again, good advice! You've been helping me an awful lot lately, thanks so much for taking your time to do that! :)

By the way, Loki is in PU team I'm setting up.

Err, please use the Moveset Help & Other Questions thread next time you ask for a help on a single Pokemon. Team Help threads are for actual team help and not for moveset help. Thanks!
