Truly Deceptive

It is I: ME!
I screwed up another thread by adding Uber Garchomp and Gen V Pokemon.

I almost added Uber Salamence here too.

I really suck at thread making, don't I?...
 
Cranidos. I swept Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina with it on PBR Wi-Fi.
 
shouldn't this be on the competitive section? Other for me. That pokemon named Other is ruthlessly strong!
 
GYARADOS?! The most well-known setup sweeper of them all?! Surely Gyarados is a better pokemon than Weavile, Porygon-Z, and Kabutops combined!

I also agree that Scizor should be on here, although I would still vote Gyarados if it was an option. You can create a competitive team without giving regard to Porygon-Z, Weavile, etc. but if you don't prepare for Gyarados you are going to have major problems.

Its true. Gyarados is one of the most dangerous Pokemon to have ever existed. Pretty much the only reliable way to take him down is to put a Choice Scarf on something faster or run Hidden Power Electric on anything that can survive a +1 Waterfall.
 
On that list, Kabutops. Once it gets going with Swift Swim, it's almost impossible to outrun it.
Off that list, Gengar. I like Haunter better, but in battling, Gengar is better.
 
Everything in this post is excluding Salamence, seeing as you said in the first post that it was an accident.

For straight up, no set-up required sweeping, I would have to say Infernape, but Jolteon comes in a close second. Including set-up... I would have to say either Azelf or Infernape. Weavile is powerful, but is more of a revenger than a sweeper.
 
Shieldon! Swept Lugia, Palkia, Latios and Latias with it. Most of the time, it had little HP too. Very surprised at how well its done.
 
D'oh. And I'm shocked that this thread is still alive.
 
I have a Special Sweeper, Porygon Z I use Life Orb and he has Hidden Power, Porygon Z's hidden power is Hyper Beam with no recharge time, Sweeping with Hidden Power is the best.
 
Please explain why Azelf, Weavile, Porygon-Z, Kabutops, Jolteon, and Alakazam are even mentioned on that list when stuff like Lucario isn't.

And if you're including Ubers, may as well include Kyogre!11!!!1!!
 
Lucario is an amazing sweeper because of his huge movepool and unpredictability. Is he special? physical? mixed? SDer? NP? SubPunch? Choice? Maybe even Agility? You dont know until he makes a move.
