Power Whip is a viable move for the first set as it hits harder. I find with Giga Drain you'll rarely have a chance to use it to get good recovery off, most of the things switching in will take very little from Giga Drain. Brute Root also resists a number of common priority (Aqua Jet, Vacuum...

He's an average Stealth Rock setter at best. I've used the following set from the old XY Previews to mixed success, he can usually get rocks up, but he isn't doing much afterwards. Maybe a more defensive oriented nature and spread would work better, but I hate breeding him >.> Stealth Rock...

No mention of a Dragon Dance set or High Jump Kick mention anywhere? Even with the extra Ghosts running around the power from HJK is nice (I'm at work at the moment but I think there are some OHKO's that can only be gotten with HJK that Drain punch can't get. I'll post them when I get home) I...

That was to do with the nature being used, ###+ means that the nature used increases that particular stat. You'll notice he mentions using Adamant with Expert Belt and then Jolly with the LO calcs.

Actually your right, I forgot to include Filter. The new calcs are 252 Atk Life Orb Weavile Brick Break vs. 252 HP / 4+ Def Filter Mega Aggron: 66-80 (19.1 - 23.2%) -- possible 5HKO 252 Atk Life Orb Weavile Low Sweep vs. 252 HP / 4+ Def Filter Mega Aggron: 57-68 (16.5 - 19.7%) -- possible...

252 Atk Life Orb Weavile Brick Break vs. 252 HP / 4+ Def Mega Aggron: 88-107 (25.5 - 31.1%) -- guaranteed 4HKO 252 Atk Life Orb Weavile Low Sweep vs. 252 HP / 4+ Def Mega Aggron: 75-91 (21.8 - 26.4%) -- 7.5% chance to 4HKO

Relying on confusion is not reliable nor a good idea. I believe there was another swagger set posted somewhere that got shot down as well. And no mention of Encore? A base set of Substitute, Thunder Wave, Foul Play and Encore would seem better.

Even with LO Low Sweep and Brick Break it's easily at least a 3HKO. Mega Aggron takes very little damage from any of Weavile's attacks. Choice band doesn't fair much better either.

Brick Break OHKO's Lucario (if I remember correctly), haven't had anyone bring in a Lucario when I've been using Low Sweep yet. I agree that if the Lucario is using Justified it most likely will never get the boost. I think that Poison Jab may be slightly overrated as some of the more commonly...

I switched to using Low Sweep, and I have to say that it actually is better. Nothing that I want to hit with Brick Break stays in, so the speed drop is immensely helpful. Lowering speeds of incoming Gyarados and Scizor is pretty nice. One thing I noticed is that I wasn't able to OHKO Greninja...

How viable is a bulky CM set? Something like Clefable (F) @ Leftovers / Life Orb Ability: Magic Guard EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpAtk Bold Nature - Calm Mind - Moonblast - Flamethrower / Shadow Ball / Thunderbolt - Moonlight It's decently bulky, and although it doesn't have access to...

I will give Low Sweep a try later tonight, you've sold me on that. I don't think I've had anything actually stay in to take a Brick Break anyways so the speed drop would help immensely, as I usually have Sticky Web down as well. I still think that Ice Punch should get a slash alongside Icicle...

I've been using a combination of Pursuit, Brick Break, Ice Punch and Poison Jab with Life Orb and it's proved very effective. Does the speed drop from Low Sweep make it worth using over Brick Break's +10 power? I agree that not making contact is a plus and the flinch rate is a huge plus...

I agree with this. I've been using Ice Punch over Icicle Crash and I haven't noticed any missing KO's. Does someone have a list of things that Icicle Crash OHKO's that Ice Punch can't prebank?

Would fitting in Zen Headbutt on that set for coverage against Fighting types that may try to come in help/make sense? I'm having trouble understanding what Hammer Arm covers that EQ + Zen Headbutt/Meteor Mash doesn't

Who can I breed Mandibuzz with to get Foul play?
