Cloyster (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Shell Smash
- Rapid Spin / Ice Shard
a surprisingly good lead set, adamant over naive so have a better chance of killing max hp dialga with a crit. use ice shard if you want to beat rayquaza / shaymin-s reliably, rapid spin for all other situations.
this set loses to darkrai but more often than not will get a shell smash off, icicle spear doesn't take iron barbs damage so no fear there.

Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Water Spout
- Calm Mind
- Ice Beam
- Thunder
this looks strange, but at + 1 and at 100% hp you have a 56.25% chance to ohko ferrothorn without any hazards whatsoever. in lieu of ice beam or thunder you can use surf or hydro pump. you don't /need/ all that speed, and some hp investment helps you beat palkia with thunder, but i like outspeeding most base 90s.
Ho-Oh @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 208 HP / 132 Atk / 168 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Substitute
- Brave Bird
- Whirlwind
- Roost
enough hp for 101 hp subs, enough speed for min speed lugia, rest in attack. this set is pretty much unbeatable for stall teams without arceus rock, it works in all weathers but if you're using it on sun consider sacred fire over brave bird.
nothing on stall can outspeed and phaze this set (except tank normal arceus lol), whereas everything else is smacked super hard by brave bird or sacred fire. works exceptionally well with spikes support.
