This thread will be updated in the OP with sets of Pokemon you'll find on the Battle Spot. Please post any interesting, strong, etc sets for Pokemon you encounter on Battle Spot. This is not a personal creative moveset thread... we want to limit this to Pokemon you've actually encountered enough to know about, or are known to be good. Your own creative movesets will have their own thread so don't worry!
Feel free to reserve a threat, but if you don't update the post with a writeup within a few hours, it's liable to be deleted and opened up to someone else.
So, to get this thread started, here's an example of what we're looking for:
Mawile:
Mawile is currently one of the biggest threats in the metagame and surprisingly one of the best mega evolutions to come with Pokemon XY. With its attack maxed, Mawile packs a whopping 344 attack after Huge Power. Its Steel/Fairy typing gives it ample opportunities to set up a Swords Dance and pretty good type coverage with Play Rough/Iron Head. Furthermore, it has Sucker Punch to slightly make up for its extremely lackluster speed. The only thing holding Mawile back from being untouchable is its extremely poor base 50 HP. Even after the initial Intimidate in normal form and the boosted defense from mega form, Mawile can have trouble taking even resisted attacks such as Talonflame's Brave Bird. If you're faster and resist Sucker Punch, Mawile isn't that difficult to bring down. Hopefully by that point it hasn't already taken down two of your Pokemon though. If you can avoid letting it set up, you're even better. Things like non-CB Talonflame can serve as pretty good bait for Mawile that think they're getting a free setup.
