Carnivines been really overlooked this gen, in my opinion. With a great attack stat and somewhat decent defences, I don't see why this thing can't be a great UU pokemon, if not scraping into BL. Obviouly, the poor speed does hurt Carnivine.

Power Whip

Bullet Seed
Facade
Thief
Fling
Natural Gift
Wow, this thing's tiny. However, it does get power whip and crunch, which is better than nothing. This thing does wish it had Earthquake or something though.
Special Moveset (STAB in bold)
Spit Up
Wring Out
Hidden Power
Hyper Beam
Giga Drain
Solar Beam
Sludge Bomb
Energy Ball
Grass Knot
Also quite small, but if youre going for a special carnivine, you do have Hidden Power and Sludgebomb to utilise, i suppose. Grass Knot may also be quite useful.
Support Moveset (Notable Moves in Bold)
Growth
Sweet Scent
Ingrain
Stockpile
Swallow
Toxic
Sunny Day
Protect
Double Team
Rest
Attarct
Endure
Swords Dance
Captivate
Swagger
Subsititute
Some quite interesting choices here. Swords Dance is obviously the most important and significantly boosts Carnivine's ability as a physical sweeper. The swallow moves are also available, if you really wanna use em.
