Mr. Original Moveset Creator

[Yoshi500x8]

I kinda just came up with this moveset and I think if it can get past the first turn, it could be dangerous.

Mr. Mime @ Choice Scarf
Abil: Filter
Evs: 252 hp/ 252 Spe/ 4 def
Nature: Jolly
-Trick
-Power Swap
-Pyschic
-Elemental Punch/ guard swap

This guy can hit around 500 speed and trick the cursed item onto the opponent. If it's a SR user, the opponent is forced to switch. If not, well it gets screwed up a bit but that is a risk with any trick user. Anyhow, assuming that it can trick the item, then then next turn use Power Swap. Assuming that a sweeper came out, his attack or SpA stat would be reduced since both attack stats on Mime are lower. This grants you a nice boosted hit and can scope 2 of your opponents pokemon. The last move is a flip coin situation. I would HIGHLY recomend that you have some kind of physical move so that you can use a physical move if you absorbed the traits of a physical sweep instead of a special sweep. If you want to use only one move type, then the other option would be to have guard swap if you feel that the opponent has a walls coming out. Don't recomend it because you could recieve a lower defensive stat and then that would be problematic. This was mainly designed to be a scoper and a possible sweeper if used right.

This is something I thought was fun to use on the agility set for lucario.
[WARNING:this set is bad for people who can't predict]


Lucario @focus sash/life orb
Nature:adamant (+attack -special attack)
EVs:6hp/252atk/252spe
-agility
-close combat
-crunch/ice punch/thunder punch/stone edge
-ME FIRST

I always wanted to try a me first lucario but it always failed against faster pokemon but I figured why not use it on the agility set. So I tested this lucario as a lead(which was dumb of me) on shoddy and it surprisingly worked and it even surprised my opponents. Anyways, by using me first you are able to make your opponents attacks directed at you 1.5x stronger(I think o.O). And if you had read the warning you would know that you need to be able to predict what your opponent would do in battle, and that is very crucial to this set because you might end up using me first when a gengar uses focus blast, or a salamence uses earthquake. So, in case you're not able to predict a focus sash can be used to help lucario live to do another me first when it's the right time to use it. However, a life orb is recommended so your attacks can hit with some extra power. The set can go all physical, but can also go special or even mixed with hp ICE to hit dragons and what not. So give it a try people :D

Umbreon @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 SDef
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Pursuit
- Sucker Punch
- Taunt
- Wish

This will decimate almost anything weak to it in UU, and if predicted right, even things in OU. In UU, this may seem like an inferior Absol, but unlike Absol, this can take hits from whatever is fighting back for dear life(like Slowbro expecting taunt or pursuit). Umbreon's natural bulk allows him to not need any EV investment in defenses in UU to take hits fairly well. As if KOing its targets wasn't enough, wish is valuable support to both Umbreon and his teammates. Sucker punch makes up for the lack of speed and even dents fragile sweepers. As with any Umbreon, watch out for fighting types as they will ruin you and can be dangerous to the rest of the team if they don't switch in to taunt(like agility blazeken). Although I won against a +6 Gallade before.

Interesting, but the problem comes from the fact that there are very few Pokemon that will use an attack that they're weak to, and even fewer that are weak to their own type (gengar, Dusknoir, Flygon, Salamence, and Dragonite being the prime ones). In order to use the move effectively, you have to predict a powerful, non-resisted attack or else you'll deal little damage to them.

That's actually more of a basic set than ANYTHING original, and also quite possible to ruin horribly since Steel and Fighting types resist Dark and that's the ONLY attack type Umbreon has. Taunt is borderline pointless since it's so freaking slow, you'd have to use Trick Room to get it up. Not to mention that giving it NO defense EVs is a relatively stupid idea. Just because a pokemon has high enough bulk in base doesn't mean it can take any hit and shrug it off without a boost to it's defenses. Not only that, but it doesn't have a high enough attack to make it worth it. Umbreon's attack is incredibly low; so low that it's max attack is at least 5 points lower than it's defenses with 31 IVs, and you're actually putting a huge amount of effort into getting it's attack up high. You're also only going to hurt a small handful of types, and then Umbreon gets beaten to a pulp later, and much like any Pursuit/Sucker Punch combo, you have to be VERY good predicting what they're going to do next. If they switch and you Sucker Punch, then it's a completely free switch. If they attack and you use Pursuit, you deal relatively low amounts of damage. True, stalling isn't an exact option, but Umbreon just doesn't pack the punch that Absol does to make it truly frightening when it comes to something like that. Pursuit can be a powerful attack, but Umbreon doesn't have the sheer force to make it hit as hard as it can, and since Absol hits a higher attack rate without trying (quite literally, with 0 Attack IV's it STILL has a higher attack and that's not including an attack+ nature either), it's better to use it over Umbreon (the defense problem can be handled easily with a Dual Screener).

Big flaw in there; Swap only switches the BOOSTS, not the actual stats themselves (found out the hard way with the Alakazam sets)

It also gives you the ability to live for longer and Sleep Talk is always a possibility. If someone comes in to set up on you, you'd probably be forced to switch even if you weren't asleep.

Yes you make a good point but thats the whole point of self-destruct when he is unusable he goes boom and takes out the enemy(baring steels and rock)

[Solace]

Here's something I came up with earlier today. Never seen it used in standard play, so...

Crobat (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 HP/24 Atk/80 Def/152 SDef
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Brave Bird
- Curse
- Taunt
- Roost
---

Curse is there for there to beef-up your above average defense and attack. Taunt is there to stop others from setting up and phazing. Not much speed (or should I say no speed EVs) is needed since this guy pretty much out-speeds anything that has 325 Speed or lower without any speed EV investments with just Jolly nature. Roost is there for recovery after several Curses. Brave Bird is Crobat's strongest attack, though if you dislike the recoil you can opt it out for Aerial Ace or Cross Poison (beware getting walled by Steel Types).

This guy is best paired with Magnezone to take care of all most of the steel types. They both have decent synergy when it comes to type coverage.

EDIT: Nevermind about this. I noticed that it's illegal to have BB paired with Curse at the moment.

If I would, I've been using this as of late since I also wanted to try this since. I just happen to think of CroDra one day out of the blue and decided I wanted to try it. I tried this set back in the early Platinum era since I thought, since Cune can do it, maybe Kingdra can too, but I failed with it, and it seems to be doing better nowadays. Here is my EV Spread and set and what not.


Kingdra@ Leftovers
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 HP/16 Atk/168 Def / 16 SpDef / 56 Speed
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SpAtk)
- Outrage / Waterfall
- Dragon Dance
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

The Speed EVs are there to outspeed base 100's after a DD, namely Salamence if you're using Outrage, which I recommend on this set. If you Sleep Talk Outrage, then you won't be locked in, and you won't get confused. This set is suppose to work on a semi-stall or bulky offensive team, so yeah.

[jgreenberg]

Umbreon @leftovers
Synchronize
Sassy nature (+SpDef, -Speed)
EVs: 252 HP, 252 SDef, 4 Atk
-Yawn/Wish
-Protect
-Curse
-Payback

I think this set is decently original. It is a great lure for scizors and lucarios that attempt to ohko umbreon. How to use it: bring umbreon out on something that you know will switch. Use yawn on the switch; if a scizor comes out, it's probably going to use u-turn thinking that it will ko and switch out of the yawn. You would use protect here to put scizor to sleep. Once scizor is taken care of, curse and payback can make for a "late game sweep" if steels (especially lucario) are out of the way. Toxic spikes are a big help as umbreon can curse up while the opponent loses hp.

This umbreon has problems with steel physical walls like forretress and skarmory who can explode to take a chunk of hp out or whirlwind to get rid of stat boosts. This umbreon also has problems keeping its hp high without wish. It can be paired with a flying type (preferably not a normal/flying type) to match its bug and fighting weaknesses, and take care of fighters. Another teammate option is a ghost type (gengar works really well with its 4x resistance to bug) to match weaknesses.
