| This is one strategy that can rip-apart unprepared teams. This Pokémon can only be stopped by scarfed Pokémon such as keldeo and even they must be alert. This Pokémon is known to us all as....Excadrill This Mole with Metal claws is a huge threat in the tier reigned by Legendary forces...the Uber tier. The reason why lies in his attack/ability/item and dreadful attack...Earthquake.
For starters Excadrill has a base attack stat of 405, scary right? If that wasn't scary enough then I should also tell you that when holding the choice band it can set off a devastating earthquake that destroys all, except those with levitate such as Darkrai. But for this reason Excadrill has coverge moves such as X-Scissors, Brick break and Rock Slide, enough to counter a lot of Uber forces such as Mewtwo, Darkrai, Ho-oh and in some cases the mighty Arceus himself. Excadrill usually needs someone to start a sandtorm, after this, beware...
This monstrous' mole's moveset you ask? Here it is
Excadrill @ Choice band Trait: sand rush Adamant nature EV spread: 252 Attack / 252 Spe Moveset of doom: - Earthquake - Brick Break - X-Scissors - Rock slide
Use this set wisely for it is very cruel...I can't even look at it...

| This is a great, effective strategy that can be used in the UU tier and even in the . This is called Sub-Petaya Empoleon. Here are some of the numbers first: Empoleon @Petaya Berry Ability- Torrent Nature- modest EV spread- 252 Sp. Atk/4 Sp. Def/252 Spe Moveset: Agility Substitute Surf/Hydro Pump Ice Beam/Grass Knot Now you know the basics, its time for the strategy. So since empoleon has a mediocre base speed stat of a mere 60. this is where Agility comes in. Using agility just once boosts Empoleon's speed to a blistering 438 (with enough IV's of course). This lets Empoleon outspeed most of the UU and OU tier. After boosting, you can then use substitute a few times, depending on how much damage it has received, until it has lowered its HP to 25% or below. This is where the fun begins! The Petaya Berry which kicks in at 25% HP or below boosts Empoleon's Sp. Atk by 50% giving it around 530 Sp. Atk total (with apropriate IV's again). Now empoleon can begin to sweep teams with its STAB surf or Hydro Pump or the devastating Ice Beam. As an added bonus, Torrent kicks in at around 33% HP or less and gives a 50% boost to water type attacks making surf or hydro pump even more deadlier. This set is able to wreck any team, that doesn't wall it, at will once the slightly tedious set-up is complete. Hope you guys like it and enjoy sweeping! | |

| Today, I give you a completely original set: Mixed Scarf Samurott. I tested this bad boy up in OU, and it's really effective. With speed being its only mediocre offensive stat, it's clear that Choice Scarf is the way to go. Now, for the moveset:
Samurott (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Torrent EVs: 252 Spd / 180 SAtk / 72 Atk Naive Nature - Superpower / Ice Beam - Megahorn / Ice Beam - Grass Knot / Ice Beam - Hydro Pump
As you can see, Samurott packs a number of base 120 attack moves, which can really dish out lots of damage. Hydro Pump makes for an extremely powerful weapon against most Pokémon in the rain. To illustrate Hydro Pump's power, I'll throw in a calc. 180 SpA Torrent Samurott Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 236+ SpD Jirachi in rain: 267-315 (66.08 - 77.97%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
Samurott here also packs more than a deadly Water type move. Megahorn is here to utterly obliterate Celebi and bulky grass-types trying to tank Samurott's moves. Superpower is used to make sure that Blissey doesn't wall this set. The only choice you'll have to make here would be Grass Knot or Ice Beam. Grass Knot is used if Jellicent is a problem in your team, while Ice Beam is used to deal with dragons and Pokémon 4x weak to Ice. If you wish, you can let Ice Beam replace Superpower or Megahorn, for a little extra coverage. And before I go, I'll give you a few more calcs:
180 SpA Samurott Grass Knot (100 BP) vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Jellicent: 174-206 (43.17 - 51.11%) -- 58.98% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
180 SpA Torrent Samurott Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Mew in rain: 366-432 (90.59 - 106.93%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

| For single battles, I like to have a entry hazard set up right at the begining to make it easier to OHKO. I usually use: - Entry Hazard:
Roserade @ Focus Sash Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd / 4 SAtk Timid Nature - Spikes - Sludge Bomb - Giga Drain - Toxic Spikes
Accelgor @ Focus Sash Trait: Sticky Hold EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd / 4 SAtk Timid Nature - Spikes - Bug Buzz - Substitute - Acid Spray
This gives me fast set up, and access to multiple hazards depending on the situation. I also use revenge killers a lot, and although some are better than others, it's a matter of preference/tier. Some sets I use are: - Revenge Killer Sets:
Electrode @ Life Orb Trait: Static EVs: 172 Spd / 252 SAtk / 84 HP Timid Nature - Volt Switch - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power [Ice] - Signal Beam
Zangoose @ Toxic Orb Trait: Toxic Boost EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef Jolly Nature - Facade - Brick Break - Night Slash - Close Combat
Now, I know that Zangoose is a glass cannon, but if he outspeeds the opp., he can pretty much OHKO everything with Facade, especially when there are entry hazards set up. And occasionally, I'll use a weather-based Pokémon, which is usually this one: - Weather-Based Set:
Dragonite @ Damp Rock Trait: Multiscale EVs: 252 SAtk / 180 Spd / 76 HP Modest Nature - Roost - Hurricane - Rain Dance - Thunder
Not the most used Dragonite set, but it works out great for me. Finally, for an extra "POW", I use a very odd Pokémon: - Wobbu-Whaaat???:
Wobbuffet @ Leftovers Trait: Shadow Tag EVs: 252 SDef / 28 HP / 228 Def Calm Nature - Counter - Mirror Coat - Encore - Safeguard
Wobbufett is murderous. NEVER GET IN THE WAY OF IT. IT DESTROYS ALL!!!!! There are a couple other strategies I use, but I'll keep those secret so if I battle anybody reading this, there will still be surprises in for them! | |

| I use these two Pokémon in OU all the time. Empoleon and Gliscor
Not only do these have perfect synergy but they complement each other very well. Empoleon's Great Special Defence and Gliscor's Great defence make it a great defence core.
Let's look at the weaknesses. Empoleon is weak to the ever so common Fighting,ground, and electric type attacks. With Gliscor in hand, he can easly take any fighting, electric, or ground attack aimed at Empoleon. Empoleon can also easly switch into any Ice or water attack aimed at Gliscor. They cover each other very well, and i feel it's often overlooked :[.
I just shared something I normally do so... Yeah. | |

| If you use assist in a single battle on a team with Choice Band/Scarf Spinda with a Victini with V-Create then Spinda can use V-Create. You can also give Ninetales Protect if you want drought boost

| I'm more into the Battle Subway, but this could also work online. I bred a Gengar with 3 coverage attacks of choice (I chose shadow ball, focus blast and thunderbolt), destiny bond and a focus sash.
The EV spread is simple: 4HP/252SpAtk/252Speed Timid Nature
When you encounter the first Pokemon you take it out with one or two attacks, you'll survive almost any attack with your focus sash. if you think you can't kill the next Pokemon, you just use destiny bond and it's 2-1 for you. Very easy to win from there in most cases. | |

| I use that strategy, but be sure that your two last Pokemon cover eachothers weaknesses. I once took Arcanine and Garchomp and got killed by the third Pokemon, which was a starmie. | |

| Here's a team I tried the battle subway with. I got to a 64-win streak in the super single train. I caught/bred all the Pokemon myself, that's why they don't have perfect IVs.
Cloyster (lead) Item: Focus Sash Ability: Skill Link (the only reason cloyster is good) EV's: 4HP/252Atk/252Speed IVs: 31/31/21/25/19/31 Nature: Adamant Moves: Shell Smash Icicle Spear Rock Blast Razor Shell
Shell Smash on the first turn, survive any hit thanks to your focus sash and proceed to sweep.(after one Shell Smash Cloyster oudspeeds the the fastest Pokemon in the subway: choice scarf Garchomp) If only it was that easy. About 2/3 of the battles that is the case, but sometimes you get bad luck or priority moves against you. That's where the other pokes come into play.
Terrakion Item: Choice Band Ability: Justified EVs: 4HP/252Atk/252Speed IVs: 15/30/2/25/15/31 Nature: Jolly Moves: Close Combat Stone Edge Earthquake X-Scissor
Terrakion even OHKOs Alakazam with Close Combat when he holds a choice band, so he can just wreck teams.
Hydreigon | Garchomp Item: White Herb | Lum Berry Ability: Levitate | Sand Veil EVs: 4HP/252SpAtk/252Speed | 4HP/252Atk/252Speed IVs: 31/19/30/31/21/31 | 31/31/31/27/30/31 Nature: Timid | Jolly Moves: Draco Meteor | Swords Dance Dark Pulse | Dual Chop Fire Blast | Earthquake Surf | Fire Fang
Until 56 wins I used Garchomp, After a Swords Dance he can sweep most of the time. After 56 wins I decided that I needed a special attacker to handle physical walls when my Cloyster is dead. Hydreigon has a white herb for Draco Meteor and maybe moves like Scary Face or Struggle Bug.
I lost against a team of Vaporeon, Floatzel and Dewgong. He led with Vaporeon. First I used Shell Smash with Cloyster, then I killed his Vaporeon. He kills me next turn with Aqua Jet from Floatzel, I sent in my hydreigon and killed Floatzel with Draco Meteor, but not before taking a Waterfall which did about 1/4. Next comes Dewgong, his quick claw activated and he killed me. Didn't matter too much because Draco Meteor wasn't a OHKO, but I could've a critical hit. I Sent out my terrakion to OHKO it with Close Combat, but his quick claw activates again and he kills me with surf. The End | |

| I've come up with a Dragonite set that I've never seen before. Breeding is significantly easier in Pokemon X and Y, but this still might take some time, because you'll need all 6 IVs at 31. It took me about 5 hours.
Dragonite @ Leftovers/Life Orb Ability: Multiscale Nature: Hasty (+speed, -defence) EVs: 4Atk/252SpAtk/252Spd Moves: Hone Claws Dragon Rush Hurricane Fire Blast/Focus Blast
The crux of this set is Hone Claws, it's boosts your accuracy and attack at the same time. All the moves on this set have shaky accuracy, but after one Hone Claws the accuracy of Focus Blast and Hurricane is 93%, which is pretty good, and the other moves are certain to hit. Dragon Rush hits everything except Fairy and Steel types. Hurricane is another amazing STAB that hits fairy types. The last move is a toss-up between Fire Blast and Focus Blast. Both hit Steel types for super effective damage. With Fire Blast you get walled by Steel/Fire, Steel/Water, Steel/Rock and Steel/Dragon types. With Focus Blast you get walled by Steel/Fairy, Steel/Ghost, Steel/Poison, Steel/Bug, Steel/Poison and Steel/Psychic types. | |
