Sorry for the double post, but I felt the need to bump this thread and finally post the Lead Fidgit set. I've been using it on my current team and it works in just about every battle. I'll continue testing it but I really don't think it needs to be tested anymore. It's pretty clear that it works, and I've seen some other users using it as well, they all tell me it's great. So here's the actual set for all of you guys to use (I haven't posted it yet so I don't exactly know what set + spread you've been using, but here it is):

Quote:
Name: Lead
Move 1: Rapid Spin
Move 2: Spikes / Toxic Spikes
Move 3: Earth Power
Move 4: Wish / Encore (needs testing!)
Item: Focus Sash
ability: Vital Spirit
EVs: 252 HP / 216 Speed / 40 SpD
Nature: Timid

This lead is simple and easy to use, but it always works. Thanks to Focus Sash, Fidgit is guarenteed at least 2 layers against every common lead. Not only that, but with Rapid Spin Fidgit helps keep hazards off of the field against leads like Deoxys-e and Deoxys-f. Against Kyogre, Dialga and Groudon Fidgit can set up 2 layers of Spikes or Toxic Spikes and possibly even Spin away Stealth Rocks before he gets KO'd. Because of Vital Spirit, not even Scarf Darkrai can stop this guy. Max HP and 40 EVs in SpD make it so that Darkrai can never 2HKO Fidgit with Dark Pulse, which means that you can get a layer down and then restore HP with Wish to ensure that you get at least one more free turn.

Rapid Spin and Earth Power are both essential on this set, as they let Fidgit counter Deoxys-f and Deoxys-e. Earth Power also lets Fidgit deal some damage to Pokemon such as Dialga (it deals about 40% to standard lead Dialga).

Wish gives Fidgit the ability to set up a layer of Spikes against Darkrai and then regain 50% of his HP to Wish again and then set up another layer. Encore can also be viable though, but it still needs to be tested.

As for the EVs, as mentioned above, 252 HP and 40 SpD gives Fidgit the ability to live 2 Dark Pulses from lead Darkrai, and 216 Speed lets him outrun lead Syclant by 1 point (as well as all base 100 Pokemon).

I'll be posting some more sets for Fidgit and Kitsunoh soon, possibly even later today. Also guys, feel free to test Encore!
