Underrated sets/moves http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/o u

Pretty cool.

>>29023667
Special Attacker Jirachi with Charge Beam

Serene Grace means the 50% chance of Charge Beam giving +1 SpA becomes 100%.

I always wanted to try out a fake out Ambipom with normal gem but I don't into competitive

>>29024042
I might try that out.

>>29023667
I love the idea of this thread.
We should have these every week to give people good and unique ideas instead if smogon copy pasta. It'd make for way more interesting battles.

Nasty Plot Azelf
everyone just uses my bro for rocks and explosions

Magic bounce skill swap espeon

I'm really liking Sylveon x Stallbreaker Mega Gallade with CC/Wisp/DBond/Knock Off, though I wonder if Taunt wold work better than DBond

Ninetales with Overheat and Power Swap.
>use overheat for a strong drought boosted STAB move
>switch your lowered special attack onto your opponent
Gengar with sub/WoW/hex/focus blast, or sub/disable/shadow ball/focus blast.

Fuck outta here Verlisify. We know you're here looking for sets.

>>29023667
T-wave Encore Mime / Soundproof & Safety Goggles

Switch into dragons, powder users, and boomburst/hyper voice and cripple them all

>>29024315
The Ninetales set is pretty cool. I just want to point out, however, that those Gengar sets are pretty standard.

>>29024366
Ah, yeah, my bad then. I just thought they were interesting. Swords dance sniper drapion, maybe? Holding a scope lens, it learns both cross poison and night slash.
Focus energy Hydreigon too, doesn't get sniper but hey, free draco meteors with no drop.

What about this?
E-Tette (Clefable) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD

Perfect to counter other hazard lead mons
Or dragons

>>29024042
Wasn't Charge Beam 70%?

>no one uses Bulk-Up on Chesnaught but me

Skill Link Cincinno with a Kings Rock. It outspeeds practically everything except scarves and the Bravest Birb.

>>29024650
Oh, yeah. Was 50 BP. Remembered 50 something and thought it was the Acc since I knew it always boosted.

>>29024706
Everybody who use Cincinno and has a brain use that

>>29024650
Charge Beam should have been 100% from the start and have been a special version of Power-Up Punch

Role Play has a variety of uses in Doubles. I like using Thundurus-T with Charge Beam/HP Ice/Role Play/Protect, pair it with M-Kang, and Role-Play its Parental Bond, using Charge Beam as a psuedo PuP.
I was also using Malamar paired up with Latios in doubles, I'd Draco Meteor to nuke something right away, then use Topsy-Turvy on him to instantly turn the -2 into a +2. I might try a simpler strategy next, using Role Play Latias with Malamar, and copying its Contrary.

I don't have anything, but can someone give me a set for Volcarona? I just copy pasted mine from smogon and replaced fire blast with fiery dance.

Mega Gardevoir with Mean Look, Snatch and Encore
>opponent sends in anything that sets up
>trap it on the same turn with Mean Look
>lock it on boosting move with Encore
>steal those boosts like a real nigger with Snatch
>repeat steps 2-3 as many times as you wish
>sweep away with Hyper Voice

Taunt stops set-up sweepers and defensive CMs just fine and doesn't waste 3 slots, but it just isn't as funny as forcing your opponent to boost YOUR pokemon. Worth using if you want to laugh at your opponent's misery.

Also experimenting with Encore/Copycat Liepard or defensive Krook.

Volcarona (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 112 HP / 84 Def / 172 SpA / 140 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Flamethrower
- Giga Drain
- Quiver Dance
- Roost

This is my custom set. It breaks stall, unless the Chansey has Toxic or Thunder Wave, so scout first. A lot of Chansey on stall nowadays run Seismic Toss, Soft-boiled, Stealth Rock, Heal Bell, so this is what this Volcarona was made in mind with.

Cofagrigus with Eject Button, Slaking with Pursuit, something to bait out a contact move. Switch Cofagrigus in on contact, Mummy avtivates, Eject Button activates, bring in Slaking, use Pursuit and gain Mummy. Proceed to sweep.

>>29024670
On the topic of Chestnaught, the Salac Berry, Belly Drum, Sub, Drain Punch and Seed Bomb set was hilarious to use online. People would often forfeit or rage quit when you got going. It's too gimmicky for actual battles though.

ITT shitty sets that Red avatars think are amazing because they beat other Red avatars with them

I used to use assault vest regirock on battle spot singles. It's pretty alright, probably needs some tweaks though.

Eviolite Murkrow with Mean Look, perish song, feather dance, and roost.

Umbreon:

Swagger
Foul Play

Get defensive EVs, use Swagger on cunts, then use Foul Play to turn their own damage against them. Used to use this before Smogonbabbies banned Swagger.

Quagsire with Unaware and a ground move.

One of my favs in LC

Bunaery w/ berry juice and defensive spread
Cosmic power
Baton pass
Powerup punch/ drain punch
Agility/ healing wish

Makes for the best set up and pass poke in LC, and no one suspects it so they try acting defensively instead waiting for a hi jump kick. Meanwhile you start steamrolling in cosmic powers and pass it to a bulky behemoth like Cranidos.
Lopunny works this well too.

>>29025570
That's why he's using pursuit and eject button, anon.

Worry seed is a very underrated move. I use it a lot on Whimsicott

>>29025963
It's a shame Whimsicott is so predictable and everyone carries a Magic Bonce 'Mon these days.

>>29025779
pretty sick desu

>>29025572
How well can Dodrio, Maractus and Medicham run a set like that?

>>29026257
Unfortunately Drapion is the only mon that can run this "effectively," the mons you mentioned are frailer and have worse defensive typings

>>29025572
I was thinking about using a Drapion-Swoobats combo in doubles. It would be very luck based but even if you get an unfavorable boost through acupressure it's still a +4 and a calm mind from Swoobats on the same turn gives you a 180 BP Stored power. Also there's the magic moment when you get a +4 in defense and tank what would have been a sure kill, or better, a +4 in evasion.

I remember seeing this one guy using a Dedenne with Charge Beam, Recycle and it was carrying a Sitrus Berry alongside the ability Cheek Pouch to regain more health. It was from a Showdown replay.

It was actually putting in work.

>>29025804
Full HP and Atk if memory serves well, Intimidate, lefties, Dragon Tail + STABs. I intended to use Torment on this thing but I couldn't find a use for this move so dropped for SR.
Surprisingly good at eating SE hits on the physical side.
AV set could work well but I haven't gotten around to using it.

>>29026451
I saw that. It was the featured replay of the week or something a while back.

>>29027026
Drapion grows on you give it a chance.

Also I always forget Dodrio is base 100 speed , I always think it's base 110 so I'm always careful around it.

>mfw it's attack is 110

Dodrio is good.

Jynx @ Focus Sash
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Lovely Kiss
- Mean look
- Perish Song
- Draining Kiss

Works hilariously well as a counter to Water types/moves in OU. Everyone seems to forget her Dry Skin Ability. And if you trap a banded/choiced user it's a guaranteed Perish at full HP while still keeping your Sash.

Even if they don't, you're still almost guaranteed a Pokemon with Lovely Kiss + Mean Look. Mean Look first, into Lovely Kiss followed by Perish Song. It's really gimmicky, but it's pretty great when you get to see it.

Also I have this set for Jynx

Gyaru (Jynx) @ Focush Sash

But Leech Seed mate? Why not Growth since you get instant Sun support along with Chlorophyll.

>>29024042
I run this with cosmic power and psychic; set up with 2 cosmic powers and then start spamming charge beam and alternating with psychic

>>29029665
I was going for a bulky long lasting Venasaur, letting Charizard doing the dirty work. Also I didn't know growth did extra in sunlight.

>>29029665
But the reason I only used those 2 is because I dob't normally do doubles. I drew a blank after them. Who should I add?

I considered having psych up instead of role play to copy a -4/-6 in only one turn but decided it wasn't really worth it. If a Politoed/Tyranitar switched in I could just set up sun again immediately without having to switch. I also had a sunny day Rotom-W on the team too, which also worked surprisingly well. I miss gen 5.

not good, ambipom is only viable with silk scarf

debuffs are all underrated
having a pokemon with memento and a strat to allow it to use it every time can give another pokemon a free turn to set up.

>>29025684
Recycle gluttony starf berry snorlax can make for a fun boost mon.

I used to run a silly Exeggutor for a sunny team.
Harvest, w/ Lum Berry
Rest
Calm Mind
Psyshock
And Giga Drain
Bold nature, set up for max defenses.

That and a Porygon-Z who only knew Sharpen and Last Resort that too many people swapped Chansey/Blissey into.

Rock Tomb and Bulldoze are seriously underrated, but that's because they aren't that useful in 6v6, but in battle spot 3v3 they are nasty as anything. Same thing with sand attack and mud slap. Cloyster is generally underrated, its OU of course but seen as predictable. It actually has great defense, it can be a decent pivot if and if you have the right support and it can tank some damage and sweep even without shell smash.

Snatch M-Sableye and Transform Mew, though the other Pokemon are pretty standard
