Personally I'd run some combination of Icicle Crash, Earthquake, Superpower, Stone Edge, and Body Slam, depending on the coverage of the rest of my team.

Alright, so this is a pretty personal question, and it may be a little vague. My OU team that I am currently working on is good, but not great and I have a question about one team mate in particular : My Jellicent. He fits well along side my Ferrothorn, but I really want to replace him. I don't really know who to replace him with though. I'm thinking possible a Specially Defensive Politoed ? Some suggestions would be very much appreciated
* Also, I'm truly sorry if this belongs in Rate my Team, if so I will ask these type of questions there from now on.

Well, specific individual questions do not go in RMT, so this is the right place :)
As for the Jellicent, well, it's hard to give a good answer without knowing your whole team, but Resttalk Gyarados and Tentacruel both pair well with Ferrothorn.
Of course, if your team appreciates rain, by all means choose Politoed, but Politoed isn't actually that good in a defensive role :/

Well, I could give you my whole team but that might take awhile. I'm just wondering who pairs well with Ferrothorn as a lead, doesn't even have to be water at this point. I might try a Rest talking Gyrados, but any other suggestions would help as well :)
+1 on the tentacruel. very good poke. super very good.
i would also suggest lanturn (dont laugh. perfect thundurus counter) and rotom-W. water types generally go wel with ferrothorn, and i would say SLOWBRO. (and to a leser exent, slowking) are good options physically defensively..
I didn't actually - I posted this before seeing that :P
I'd defenatly go with a tentacruel on this one IF u really dislike jellicent that much (agree that jellicant is super ugly hehe) .
Tentacruel can rapid spin, put up own spikes , has nice special defence and last but not least it resists ferrothorns biggest weakness!
Thanks for the advice, I will try out Tentacruel and see how that goes. The only thing is, since my Ferrothorn set spots a :
Stealth Rocks l T-wave l Leech Seed l Power Whip / Gyro Ball
Should I still run Toxic Spikes on Tentacruel ?
Lanturn might be useful if you need an electric absorber, but I'd say Rotom-W outclasses due to it's somewhat better movepool, immunity to ground and access to Volt Switch :)
how do you find your pokemons IVs
Why has UU not entered Round 3 of its suspect test? Or why is the stickied thread still the one pertaining to round 2?
Lanturn also has a niche over Rotom-W being one of the meta's few BoltBeam resisters...
CTNC
Doesn't know how to attack
Rotom-W also Resist Boltbeam
But Lanturn gets Volt Absorb though.
Rotom-W doesn't resist boltbeam, since Electric-type attacks are neutral.
So I'm thinking about adding a Mamoswine to my Sun team. The problem is, I'm unsure about the set. Is it worth throwing a CScarf on Mamo to be a revenger or should I go for power with Choice Band? I don't really like Life Orb because of all the weaknesses Mamo has, so could an Expert Belt set work? Any advice would be appreciated. If you need more detail on my team, just let me know.
volt absorb anyone?
It is actually quite difficult, since they are not shown in-game normally, but there are ways:
The easiest method is to use an IV calculator (such as this one), but it requires you to know the EV's that you have given it.
Otherwise, there is an Action Replay code that allows you to check them in-game.
Rotom-W has Levitate. That being why Lanturn, which has volt absorb, and not Rotom-W resists bolt-beam.
iimknow i was answering that Lanturn resists BoltBeam while Rotom does aswell
