No, the TrickScarfer will just Pass a Sub, nothing else. The other two members will boost on their own. It's also a Timid Espeon, hard to outrun and Pursuit is only in the lower ranks (as is Rapid Spin).

^Espeon isn't really that good as a TrickScarfer, way too frail. Also, it's better if the setup sweeper uses Sub.

Also, seeing as you just handed the opponent a Choice Scarf, you'll have a much harder time outrunning it before it faints Espeon.

Well, who IS a good TrickScarfer? I'm not so sure about "Sub then set up" because I want perfect coverage on all the sets where possible and with only two offensive moves, that can be hard (though Lucario can do so easily).

^You don't need perfect coverage. Take V4E's Scizor example. It only has Bullet Punch. Coverage matters very little at +6, and SE coverage matters even less.

Some good examples of TrickScarfers would be Dusknoir, Latias, Uxie, Cresselia, Spiritomb, Porygon2, Clefable, Mismagius, and Gardevoir. Latias and Uxie are probably the best ones.

Ho, hooo...so what would be good Natures for Latias and Uxie? Oh, and thanks about the coverage advice, I guess I'll keep my Lucario with a Sub-CM and use a Sub-SD Garchomp.

That's a good idea.

Latias@Choice Scarf
Bold
Ev's:252Hp/236Def/20Sp.Def
~Levitate~
-Trick
-Thunder Wave
-Flash
-Recover

The Latias I used on my 142 win BT Team. Flash can be replaced by a myriad of options, but I find that Flash works best.

Uxie@Choice Scarf
Bold
Ev's:252Hp/68Def/188Sp.Def
~Levitate~
-Trick
-Thunder Wave
-Stealth Rock
-Memento

Possibly the best TrickScarfer in the game, Latias only outclasses it situationally.

Gahh! How can I get those!? I mean, sure Latias will appear in HG/SS, but I can't wait that long! Oh well, I'll check my Uxie's nature and go form there.

Impish. And it's fine, so long as you don't use attacks, which you shouldn't.

Edit: Beaten.

GarSlizer: fix that double posting thing your computer keeps doing. Also, don't clutter this thread with all this "help me build a team" nonsense.

Haze destroys the increase...not that anything in the Battle Tower uses it.
