Confuse Ray is 100% accurate too. Teeter Dance would be much better in a Double/Triple battle with an Own Tempo partner, but I'd rather be attacking in most cases.

You could probably try a set gimmicky like this:
Meloetta @Leftovers
Bold
252 HP / 252 Def. / 4 Sp.Def.
Teeter Dance
Thunder Wave
Perish Song
Protect
:/ I could swear I remember CF being like 70 or 80 acc. Dang. Well meloetta still could do something with it like cold fusions set.
Confuse Ray has 100% accuracy, and so does Teeter Dance. Sweet Kiss has 75%, and Supersonic has 55% accuracy. Swagger and Flatter are both 100% accuracy as well, with the side effects of raising Attack (Swagger) and Special Attack (Flatter) sharply. DynamicPunch has a horrible accuracy, but a 100% chance of confusion if it connects. Out of all of those moves, Meloetta can learn Teeter Dance and Swagger.
Eh, well, regardless, I doubt anyone would really be using Swagger on a Meloetta anyways.
Challenge Cup says hi! :P
Lol, what the hell is Challenge Cup? I'm new to actually doing competitive battling. >:O
I face palmed at everyone using step forme movesets without Ancient Song on the first page of this thread.
How Ancient Song worked was not known when this thread was first made.
You should facepalm at yourself for not reading post dates.
Well sue me for having a stupid moment.
It figures that GF would make such an awesome mon (Meloetta-S) and then seal her away behind a mon that serves a radically different purpose. Here's hoping Meloetta gets the Giratina-O treatment in the third installment!
Also, if Meloetta-S represents dance, why doesn't she get Dragon Dance or Swords Dance? Or better yet, Quiver Dance for use on her other form? What gives, Trollfreak?

Teeter Dance! :D Although that doesn't say much about it's dancing ability.
Also what would the theorymon "standard" set for Meloetta be? Something like Modest/Timid @ Life Orb with Calm Mind/Hyper Voice/Focus Blast/Shadow Ball? (No Aura Sphere :( )

Run this with some pokemon that can kill steels, ghosts and rocks for you.
Meloetta @ Choice Scarf
Timid / Modest
252 Sp.Atk / 252 Spd / 4 something
- Echoed Voice
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt
- U-turn
For those of you that don't know the beauty of Echoed Voice, it starts out at 40 power then gains 40 every turn up to 200. Its really easy to come in and revenge something low on HP, hit the next pokemon with an 80 power STAB move, live a hit, then proceed to murder the rest of the opponent's pokemon. Its a really good, unknown-to-most move.
This kind of set can also work with Togekiss.

Um, I looked over the story for the event Meloetta and I noticed they said something about the "Red Shoes". Maybe the "Red Shoes" will be something like giratina's griseous orb?
The Ruby Slippers! If that's true, when I get my Meloetta I shall name her Dorothy :3
Meloetta @ Life Orb
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 204 Atk / 112 SAtk / 192 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Relic Song
- Psychic
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
The speed's only optimized for Pirouette Form but it always gets the job done since she offenses are high enough even with them being split. STAB with EdgeCombat coverage. What's not to love?

Wouldn't you need a certain move to transform into Meloetta-S form? Or it's two different meloetta?
Meloetta starts out in her Aria forme and must use the move Relic Song to transform into her Piroutte form. Relic Song is a damage inducing move with a side effect of having a 20% chance of putting the opponent to sleep.
Meloetta-P would be great if it did not have to use this move to transform as she is basically a stronger and faster Terrakion

Banned deucer.
Why do you guys assume that Meloetta-P can't be a successful pokemon just because of Relic Song? Just see that move as a pseudo-Dragon Dance that can occasionally put something to sleep and that can't be taunted.
She has the highest speed of any fighting-type in her Pirouette form - definitely something to keep in mind.

Terrakion actually has move attack as well as having a much better duel stab offensively, a much greater movepool, while also having good set-up moves and the ability to use choice Items.
Yes I defiently think she will be used but it is extremely annoying that relic song has to be used to get her into physical form.
