Special Sweepers

Yukimenoko

Young Apprentice
I needed a couple of special sweepers for my team and was thinking of adding these to my collection:

Gengar@???
Modest Nature
Psychic
Energy Ball
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball

Politoed@???
Modest Nature
Surf
Psychic
Ice Beam
Focus Blast

Charizard@???
??? Nature
Air Slash
Dragon Pulse
Flamethrower
AncientPower

Glacia@???
??? Nature
Yawn
Ice Beam
Water Pulse
Shadow Ball

I don't have natures or items on them...please comment

THANKS!
 
is this your team, or choices of sweepers for your team?
Dont be afraid to use Modest nature, its best for all special sweepers.
They could all settle for choice specs/scarf or life orb.
The only problem is i think glaceon would be better botan passing( i used to avoid them, but the idea is growing on me)
Glaceon@...?
Calm mind
Wish
Botan Pass
Ice beam
I'm not completely sure, but i usually see the other eeveelutions running similar sets. Your sweeper set would also suffice.

I like Pink o.o;
Errr... Starmie is a nice Sweeper, with its awesome Special Attack and speed;
but modest for charizard(I don't think he's that good), and Timid for Glaceon(low speed btw).

Attacks should be:
1. Psychic
2. Kinesis
3. Psybeam
4. Thunderpunch

Item: Twistedspoon

^^ Definitely try to get HP Fighting with a good power.

Definately use Alakazam.
It has awesome speed and special attack.

Attacks should be:
1. Psychic
2. Kinesis
3. Psybeam
4. Thunderpunch

Item: Twistedspoon
Ermm, no. Alakzam has a horrible attack stat to use Thunderpunch. Also, 2 attacking moves of the same type is just a waste of moveslots.

Alakazam @ Choice Specs
Timid nature
- Psychic
- Energy Ball
- Focus Blast / HP Fight
- Trick
^^ My personal favorite for Zam.
