Another trial for a pokemon to start off my team in a battle.

Ninetails @ Need help on the item as well Adherence glasses? Ad Scarf? Life Orb? Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
Nature: Modest (+SAtk/-Atk) Maybe Timid (+Speed/-Atk) or Calm (+Sdef/-Atk) - Need Help)
EVs: 252 SAtk/ 252 Speed/ 6 SDef
~ Energy Ball
~ Hypnosis
~ Flamethrower Heatwave? Look below
~ Dark Pulse

Would that work, decently?

(also, about breeding. If i breed a ninetales, for Energy ball, and the new offspring has energy ball. If I breed the offspring again with another pokemon that gives heatwave. Would the offspring have both Energyball + Heatwave?)
 
It can possibly take down Swampert,but it sucks it doesn't get Grass Knot.
And Gar will most likely kill it =/
 
Umm Gar is not a good starting pokemon lol. However, I believe you are right. I might put HPIce somewhere.
Still considering Swamperts crappy SDef. and 80*4*good SAtkk Stat, very good damage. 2HKO probably.
 
i would put Nasty Plot in over Hypnosis so if you were to Baton pass some speed to it it would have a chance to sweep-- its stats aren't tat great and neither is its move pool, an annoyer set might work better i once used this set in my emerald

Ninetales
Calm Nature
@leftovers
-Imprison
-Mimic
-Attract
-Flamethrower

it was used mainly in-game so i'm not too sure if it would work competively
 
I understand your output. However remember that this is my Starter pokemon. I can't BP anything to it. It has 100 BP, with 252 Evs... I doubt you need more. The only things I know can beat it (for staple pokemon) are Gengar and Sceptile. Sceptile is big time covered.
Also Nasty Plot is hard to set up, with such crappy defence, and it being the first pokemon out there. So its more of a status/sweep pokemon rather than boost/sweep.

And Gengar, yea the speed of Gengar will hurt, however if I get the chance, Its an OHKO with Dark Pulse. 75 Special Defence, vs 80*Decent SAtk... I think its gone. lol
 
Needs more Hypnosis.

Energy Ball
Hypnosis
Sheme...ur, Nasty Plot
 
Ninetales is not a "status/sweep" pokemon at all, base 80 special attack is hardly a threat to anything by itself. I really would just use Nasty Plot along with Hypnosis/Flamethrower/Energy Ball, that way you can sleep a pokemon, and then try and sweep with Nasty Plot. hard to do, but at least you have the chance to do something other than sleep a pokemon.
 
I love Ninetales.
