This may be a bit biased, but I think all special sweeper sets with Togekiss should include Nasty Plot. I agree that Togekiss can be either a special wall or a sweeper, but I think it should be one or the other.

Good RTP, very thorough on a pokemon i think is one of the best special sweeps in the current environment. I'd like to see more coverage on what it could do with hustle though, as it seems to be unfortunately overlooked. Any ideas?

lol fluffy, bibarel is definitely a redneck. gardevoir is a babe. and gengar hangs around kindergartens and offers the kids 'candy'

I agree with ss118. Although RBY and GSC might have been more groundbreaking at the time, there's no denying that DP is simply a better game in almost every way, compared to the previous ones. The graphics are miles better, the level layouts are more memorable and more complex (walking through a...

If you don't want to go with staraptor, I would say choose drifblim. Pretty easy to get, has nice immunities (Ground and Fighting) massive hit points, and some pretty good moves (fly, obviously, but also shadow ball, ominous wind, DT, WOW) He can actually save you in some battles, and it's...

I only use my drifblim to fly. Y'all clinging desperately to the backs of birds, I'm travelling in style.

yup, that's what i meant. Thanks for the clarification, wii. Still I love marowak as a pokemon, I love it as I would a small child of my own, but its speed just isn't sweeperrific.

Ultimately, it's just really hard to get perfect IVs if you're against hacking, Demenise. If you're looking for some sort of edge over OU teams like you said in your first post, look beyond statistics, and to the meta-game. The advantage you have is a team no one will have thought of using! For...

if you're worried about dig being bad because it lets your opponent switch out, how about a dugtrio with arena trap? XD

if you need another physical sweeper, check out a marowak for a ground move, and for a nice electric immunity. Stats don't look that great, but consider that if you get a thick club hold item on it, it's attack gets doubled, making it 160, if i'm right.

weakness to fire, electric, ice, flying and double weak to rock? so what move in the OU metagame wouldn't be super effective against it?:ohwell:

altaria isn't a bad idea, but 4x weak to ice is hard to swallow for mediocre stats. I have two suggestions to make: For your physical sweeper, kangaskhan is a good idea. 95 base atk to zangoose's 115, but much better defenses and hp, good speed (base 90) and a much, much better moveset, with...

interesting point about the yanmega, and I agree, if garchomp and salamence are in, another ice weak is probably too many. Starmie is a brilliant special sweeper, and has an awesome ability to boot (natural cure). My vote goes to starmie.

how about a Togekiss? no one ever mentions them, but they have brilliant defenses, a sAtk that works for a sweeper, and decent speed. I have one with nasty plot, flamethrower, aura sphere and air slash. Air slash + serene grace means 60% flinch chance!

I'm convinced a Froslass will be the perfect addition to my team, in terms of typing, and looking at its moveset, there are some very tempting possibilities. What are your thoughts on what the perfect Froslass should look like? Should I just go for a straight sweeper and max out speed and...
