Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Growth
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Giga Drain/Moonblast

This set obviously requires quite a bit of support to eliminate resists, but all in all it can be quite neat as it threatens both stall and offense. Simply use priority Growth to boost as much as you can past passive pokemon like Aromatisse, and then use rest and sleep talk when you are low health. The cool thing about Sleep Talk is that it gives Giga Drain priority, allowing it to threaten faster mons like Azelf.

It is basically like Bulk Up Tornadus except much worse because you don't get defense boosts.

Modest Nature

Sun isn't amazing in UU, but if you want to try it out and need a Chlorophyll sweeper this is definitely worth a try. You want to ask me "What does this thing have over tangrowth?"
1)Outspeeds mega aerodactyl and every viable scarfer barring infernape assuming sun is up.
2)Isn't extremely slow outside of sun.
3)Is cuter.
Of course you'll need something to set up sun, as well as hazards to guarantee some KO's. But I think this set should make sun a bit more viable in UU.

Relevant calcs.

Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 248 SpD / 8 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Cotton Guard
- Growth
- Giga Drain
- Moonblast / Psychic / Hurricane

I actually tried this set on a couple of meme teams and it did surprisingly well. This is double boost whims, with Cotton Guard to boost its Defense and Growth giving it a boost to its Special Attack stat. Call it a poor man's Reuniclus/Florges I guess. But yeah, this set is pretty heat ngl. For coverage moves you could use Psychic or Hurricane over Moonblast to hit common switchins like Entei, Crobat, or Chandelure, even though it'll do like next to no damage if you're not boosted but you can still say you predicted them :^). But yeah all in all, its a pretty heat set

nature power offensive whims. The point is that nature power is considered a status move so it gets priority from prankster,, and when nature power is used it defaults into tri attack so basically you have a base 80 special priority move under your belt.

- Encore/ Stun Spore

Are you tired of Chandelure switching in? Are you sick of Doublade setting up on you? Why out-speed azelf if you cant even do good damage to it? Well look no further for a great ghost lure because here it is! Shadow Ball Whimiscott is a force to be reckoned with.

Relevant Targets!

• Chandelure: (67.8 - 79.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
• Doublade: (57.9 - 68.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
• Azelf: (74.2 - 87.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Other targets maybe be Fire types, Steel Types, or Poison Types that resist both of Whimsicott's Stabs. Shadowball provides some damage for racking up damage overall. The main reason I made this was for Chandy and Doublade that tend to ruin most of my teams.

Team Mates

These all now benefit even more from SB Whimsicott lure!​

Well, after looking through Whimsicott's moves, I've concluded that most of the really effective sets are already pretty common. However, I still think this set is pretty great. I give you Stallbreaker Whimsicott.

Whimsicott @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Taunt/Encore
- Substitute
- Leech Seed
- Moonblast/Giga Drain

If this set seems really annoying, that's because it is. It combines some of the most annoying aspects of Whimsicott's standard Encore sets with the often-forgotten SubSeed one. Combine the two together and you get a surprisingly good stallbreaker. SubSeed Grass-types are notoriously hard to beat for most stall teams because they can steal massive amounts of HP from special walls like Blissey and Umbreon. Combine SubSeed with the support move of your choice, in this case Taunt, and you have something that can shut down a number of passive Pokemon. You can run Encore if you want to have a better matchup against offensive teams, but Taunt helps you beat stall less awkwardly. I'd pick Moonblast for the STAB move in most cases, because it does some damage to Grass-types that are immune to Leech Seed, like Gourgeist and Tangrowth.

I promise you, using this set guarantees a few forfeits on the ladder. Give it a shot!​

[r0ady]

SIGH

Mfw my friends sabotage me

SIGH

~Volbeatdown~ cant do anything about it so I wouldn't call it a sabotage I mean if people were dq'd for stealing sets only like 1-2 of these would be allowed. However as I said earlier on skype u should've given ur fren the credit for creating with a s/o

 

[DaSpoofy]

Your vote should not be determined by whether the set was stolen but rather which set is most effective in the current UU meta so I dont why it matters.

 

[nameless90]

DaSpoofy
(because makes good use of Whimsicott natural high speed coupled by a lure move to punish his traditional switch-ins)

 

[YABO]

Spoofy, anything that lures Doublade is cool in my book, fuck doublade

 

[dingbat]

Ye i waited 4 days because I'm a nerd and can't get shit done on time

Also the vote was tied at three but it's clear that DaSpoofy wins this time!

Next 'mon will be in a few hours and it won't be Hoopa for sure
