FR special sweeper

theHypnotoad

stay calm...
i was thinking about which poke in fire red version would make a good special sweeper. ive thought about using a Lapras or a Mr. Mime, but would like more options.
Also, trading pokes is not an option for me

thanx

Mewtwo and Attack Deoxys can yield amazing results if you don't mind using legendaries.

If you could trade Alakazam is great, but you could use Kadabra with decent results.

cloyster is a pretty good special sweeper with this moveset:

ice beam
protect
surf
spikes/filler


vaporeon/jolteon would also be good bets......

No offense, but Cloyster, Vaporeon and Jolteon can't really 'sweep' (physically or specially).
Anyway, the #1 and #2 best special sweepers were listed in my earlier post. Alakazam is good, but he can't trade so that rules it (and Gengar) out. Kadabra still works though (surprisingly), as does Omastar with Rain Dance/Swift Swim.

Mewtwo definetly
 
Mewtwo is the best one that you dont have two trade to get. If you EV trian Charizard he is a darn good one

I suggest Dragonite as hes the Fr,Lg Salamence but he evolves at lvl 55 so good luck lvling him

Exeggutor and Jynx are good special sweepers, as they not only have great special attack, but they get double STAB on two special types! Exeggutor gets stab on grass and psychic, while Jynx gets stab on ice and psychic. But they do have a lot of weaknesses though.
 
Starmie will work issnt it?

MewTwo or Starmie - both great...

Mewtwo, Starmie (Leaf Green, though), Alakazam, the Legendary dog you're able to catch. That's it I think.

For Mr.Mime i like this:
Lefties
Hypnosis
Calm Mind/
Psychic
Thunderbolt

For Jynx this:
Lefties
Psychic
Lovely Kiss
Calm Mind
Ice Beam

And Exeggutor:
Lefties
Explosion
Sunny Day
Solarbeam
Hidden Power Fire

And Suicune isn't a sweeper it's more like a wall or PHazer, Uue Raikou instead.
