When I first joined the battling community, Whimsicott was in its prime. OU, feared by many people for its amazing ability in Prankster and it's status prowess. Since then, Whimsicott has fallen to RU, forgotten by the upper tiers. I always liked him, and now I've decided to resurrect him. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you- Fictitious!
Weasley (Whimsicott) @ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 156 SDef / 100 Def
Careful Nature
- Encore
- Stun Spore
- Taunt
- Memento
Whimisicott is simply amazing. It stops leads in their tracks, forcing them to either attack, be taunted, or switch out. 252 HP/156 SDef/ 100 Def EVs give it the ability to take hits and stay in the game as long as possible. Encore forces a pokemon to use the same move over and over for 3 turns, which is great for forcing switches and switching in my other pokemon safely. Stun Spore cripples sweepers and revenge killers alike, while Taunt stops leads from setting up on me, usually forcing a switch. Now, Memento is usually not on a Whimsicott set, but serves an amazing purpose. When I feel like Whimsicott has used up its usefulness, or I see an opportunity to cripple a sweeper, I Memento, doing two things: lowering the opponents SpAtk and Atk by 2, forcing them to either switch out or continue attacking with such low offensive power. This also gives me a safe switch in. This is where Salamence and Thunurus-T come into play.
The Doctor (Espeon) @ Light Clay
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd / 4 SAtk
Timid Nature
- Baton Pass
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Hidden Power (Fire)
Espeon is my other choice as an anti-lead. Magic Bounce ensures that I can get a free entry hazard up when I switch in to one, or that the opponent's lead will switch out. 252 HP makes me as bulky as possible while 252 Speed ensures that I can outrun a large majority of the metagame and set up Screens before I'm attacked. HP Fire takes care of Ferro and Scizor, while Baton Pass lets me safely switch out on Pursuit Scizor and TTar. Her only purpose is to set up screens and stop entry hazards while getting in some damage as well. This gives my sweepers, Salamence and Thundurus-T, a better chance to set up if Whimsicott is down, and benefits the team as a whole.
Jack (Salamence) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Moxie
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Naive Nature
- Fire Blast
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Earthquake
After Whimsicott Mementos, I get in a free Dragon Dance. I OHKO or 2HKO a lot of the metagame with +1, and this ensures I get a boost with Moxie. Fire Blast takes out any Ferro, Skarm, or Forr switching in, Outrage is my main STAB, OHKOing most pokemon that don't resist it and usually 2HKOing those that do. Earthquake is for coverage and takes care of pokemon like Jirachi. Salamence has swept countless teams, the only thing stopping him is Mamoswine and Weavile.
The Master (Scizor) @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Superpower
- Pursuit
Not much introduction is needed for the famous CB Scizor. With Bullet Punch, Technician, STAB, and CB it is an nice revenge killer. U-Turn for Psychics and safely switching out, Superpower for TTar and steels alike, and pursuit for the Psychics trying to switch out in fear of him. He punches huge holes in most teams and forces a lot of switches.
Mickey (Thundurus-Therian) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Modest Nature
- Agility
- Focus Blast
- Hiddden Power (Ice)
- Thunderbolt
Originally, I had an Elektross here. I had never used Elektross before and wanted to test him out. I quickly realized that I lacked a hard hitting special attacker on the team, and that's when Thundurus-T joined. Modest nature and LO give me as much power as possible, and the max speed gets me just above pokemon like Jirachi, Salamence, and Celebi who have that base 100 speed. Agility boosts my speed to +2, letting me outspeed just about the entire metagame. Focus Blast is for coverage on pokemon like Ferrothorn and Terrakion, HP Ice is for dragons and the Landy formes, and Thunderbolt is my STAB.
Donna (Heatran) @ Air Balloon
Timid - Flash Fire
252 Speed, 252 Sp. Atk, 4 HP
-Fire Blast
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Earth Power
-Flame Charge
Heatran is my answer to pesky Fire-types seeking to OHKO Scizor, and my second special sweeper. Heatran forces a lot of switches, and on those switches whereas a regular Heatran would set up Rocks, Donna uses Flame Charge to boost her speed, making her an effective sweeper. Air Balloon is for safe switch-ins on grounds, HP Ice is for dragons and grounds alike, Earth Power is for opposing Heatran, and Fire Blast is my powerful, main STAB. This set is never expected and makes a great sweeper.
