Taken over from Brawlfest, Moofensive set removed. We can use funny set names now Raseri ? :o
GG NO RE Brawlfest
[Overview]
<p>As the fastest Stealth Rock setter in the NU tier, Miltank has a claim to fame as a support Pokemon. With a variety of utility moves such as Heal Bell under its belt, as well as a reliable recovery move in Milk Drink, Miltank can easily cater to your team's needs. Alongside Miltank's decent mixed bulk, it has two effective abilities that aid its defensive prowess in Thick Fat and Sap Sipper. Offensively, Miltank can work as a decent late-game sweeper with a Curse set alongside Scrappy. It's not always easy for Miltank to be effective though, due to the prevalence of Fighting-type Pokemon in the metagame. Miltank has a difficult time getting past Ghost-types, especially Misdreavus, without Scrappy. It also has difficulty fitting coverage moves into its already limited moveslots; Milk Drink is an automatic requirement, which leaves Miltank with only three moveslots. While its Normal typing leaves a lot to be desired, its three abilities all provide unique niches that makes Miltank one of the more unpredictable Pokemon in the NU tier.</p>

[SET COMMENTS]
<p>With an assortment of support and utility moves, great overall bulk, reliable recovery, and two abilities that enhance its defensive capabilities, Miltank makes a fabulous support Pokemon. Milk Drink is vital for Miltank's longevity, as it allows Miltank to continuously support your team throughout the battle. Stealth Rock provides excellent support for most teams, and Miltank happens to be one of the fastest users even without Speed investment. The third moveslot decides what kind of utility Miltank will provide for one's team: Heal Bell is invaluable for most teams to remove crippling status afflictions, while Toxic works to wear down defensive Pokemon like Alomomola and Misdreavus to allow teammates to break through them more easily. An offensive move is critical to prevent Miltank from being completely destroyed by Taunt and Substitute users. Body Slam is the preferred move as the paralysis chance allows Miltank to possibly cripple offensive Pokemon more effectively than with Toxic. Return can be used instead if you do not like the paralysis chance clashing with Miltank's ability to Toxic defensive Pokemon.</p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>Max HP and Special Defense EV investment and a Careful nature are recommended as Miltank's Special Defense is rather mediocre and it needs all it can get in special bulk to make the most use of its resistances from Thick Fat. Thick Fat is the preferred ability to grant Miltank invaluable resistances to Fire- and Ice-type moves. Factoring in the gradual recovery from Leftovers, Miltank checks Charizard as even a Blaze-boosted Fire Blast from the Choice Specs set cannot 2HKO Miltank; be wary around Charizard regardless, as Focus Blast from just the Choice Scarf set 2HKOes. Sap Sipper can also be used, as Miltank becomes a great pivot into the Grass-types that are rather common, while Charizard is likely to be the only Fire-type you'll commonly face; the Attack boost is also appreciated to give Body Slam and Return more force. Thunder Wave is a good option for the utility slot if Miltank uses Return, but the paralysis chance from Body Slam usually suffices and Toxic is generally the better status to have, as it gives Miltank the ability to threaten both defensive and offensive Pokemon alike. Seismic Toss is an alternative attacking move Miltank can use for consistent damage, though Body Slam's paralysis chance and Return's better power against offensive Pokemon make them more useful overall.</p>
<p>Choice Band Golurk is an excellent teammate, being able to break past Rock- and Steel-types and sponge Fighting-type moves for Miltank; in exchange Miltank provides Stealth Rock and paralysis support to give Golurk an easier time breaking down the opposing team. Other Ghost-types, such as Misdreavus and Haunter, can also take on Fighting-types while acting as spinblockers to keep Stealth Rock around. Musharna also provides a valuable defense against Fighting-types, and can provide the utility that Miltank forgoes with either its own Thunder Wave or Heal Bell. Garbodor can also check Fighting-types, and it even provides Spikes and Toxic Spikes support to compliment Stealth Rock. For more offensive teammates, Grass-type sweepers, such as Substitute and Calm Mind Serperior and Rain Dance Ludicolo, appreciate Miltank's ability to wear down Charizard, Regice, and special walls so that they can sweep more effectively.</p>
[SET]
name: Moodoo
move 1: Curse
move 2: Body Slam / Return
move 3: Milk Drink
move 4: Heal Bell
item: Leftovers
ability: Scrappy
nature: Careful
evs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>This set makes use of Scrappy to allow Miltank to hit every Pokemon in the tier with its STAB move, a perfect compliment to a mono-attacking setup sweeper. Curse is the key to this set, bringing Miltank's physical bulk to impressive levels. The Attack boost is also appreciated, making Body Slam and Return considerably more threatening. Return has more power, but Body Slam is still preferred as the paralysis chance gives Miltank more opportunities to set up; Body Slam is also a decent move to use early-game when Miltank cannot safely set up to fish for paralysis. Miltank will likely have to withstand several attacks in order to set up, so Milk Drink is a requirement to keep it healthy. Heal Bell prevents Miltank from becoming crippled by Toxic and Will-O-Wisp and allows Miltank to support its team despite its focus being primarily on sweeping. Milk Drink and Heal Bell both differentiate Miltank from other bulky setup sweepers, such as Bulk Up Gurdurr, which lacks reliable recovery and Heal Bell, and Bulk Up Braviary, which relies on Substitute to block status.</p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>As Curse boosts Miltank's Defense, this set most benefits from investing entirely in HP and Special Defense. A Careful nature compliments the special bulk investment, and Leftovers is the preferred item so that Miltank does not have to use Milk Drink as often. Thick Fat is a possible option for this set so that Miltank can set up on Fire- and Ice-type Pokemon, but this set is then walled by Ghost-types. Earthquake is an option over Heal Bell for a more offensive approach, but status becomes crippling for Miltank. This set greatly appreciates Toxic Spikes support from teammates such as Garbodor and Roselia in order to wear down opposing walls and setup sweepers and deter them from staying in. Garbodor is particularly useful in order to check opposing Fighting-types that can break through Miltank even after a Curse.</p>
<p>This set is walled by Mandibuzz, which either breaks it down with Taunt and Toxic or simply blows Miltank out of battle with Whirlwind. This means that Pokemon that can defeat Mandibuzz, such as Eelektross, the Rotom formes, special Samurott, or other strong special attacking Pokemon are required teammates. Additional bulky sweepers, such as Calm Mind Musharna and Bulk Up Gurdurr, partner well with this Miltank set as they help wear down each other's counters.</p>
[Other Options]
<p>An offensive set with Life Orb and Sap Sipper, possibly even Scrappy, is a viable option for Miltank; the recommended moves would be Double-Edge, Milk Drink, Earthquake, and a choice of Ice Punch, Punishment, or Heal Bell. Just understand that such a set compromises Miltank's good bulk; an additional drawback is that Miltank's power is still mediocre and it requires a boost from Sap Sipper to significantly threaten the opposing team. Hammer Arm and Gyro Ball can be utilized on the Curse set as Speed isn't very relevant on the set, but they are mediocre options for the most part when compared to Miltank's Normal STAB moves. Zen Headbutt is a possible move to hit Fighting-types, but it is difficult to fit onto any of Miltank's sets. Fire Punch and ThunderPunch can be used to hit specific Pokemon for 4x damage, but Return and Double-Edge either match or outdamage, respectively, against all other targets that are hit neutrally. In order to hit Rock- and Steel-type Pokemon, Brick Break and Focus Punch are options but they are generally inferior to Earthquake. Rest and Sleep Talk are options over Milk Drink and Heal Bell on the Curse set, but such a set's unreliability and inability to support its team makes it a less practical option. Finally, Miltank can set up both Sunny Day and Rain Dance for weather sweepers; unfortunately, Miltank's inability to provide a safe switch-in for such teammates, lack of priority on such moves, and lack of benefits from weather moves in general makes it an inferior choice compared to Volbeat, Regirock, Liepard, and even the weather sweepers themselves.</p>
[Checks and Counters]
<p>Gurdurr is the best counter to Miltank as it can use Bulk Up to overpower Miltank while keeping itself healthy with Drain Punch. Throh can also use Bulk Up to absorb Miltank's attacks and can either threaten it with Storm Throw or Circle Throw. Choice Band Sawk can break through Miltank even after a Curse. Misdreavus walls any Miltank that lacks Scrappy, and threatens Scrappy sets with Will-O-Wisp and Taunt. Other Ghost-types, such as Haunter and Golurk, can check non-Scrappy sets as well; they must be wary of the status ailments Miltank can inflict. Mandibuzz can completely wall Miltank with Taunt, Toxic, and Roost; Whirlwind variants can at least prevent Curse sets from setting up too much. Mandibuzz must be wary of Toxic on the switch or, to a lesser extent, paralysis. Alomomola walls the offensive set if it lacks Heal Bell and doesn't already have several boosts; it also walls the utility set if Miltank lacks Toxic. Miltank doesn't have the greatest special bulk, so powerful special attackers, such as Samurott and Gardevoir, can possibly 2HKO it.</p>

[Checks & Counters]
- Great base speed for a pokemon with access to stealth rocks
- Good mixed bulk
- Decent offensive presence
- Great Support / Utility mon
- Reliable recovery
- Walled by common ghosts if lacking Scrappy or Punishment
- Weak to the common fighting type
- SubPar defensive typing, with a single Immunity to ghost, relying purely on it's abilities for other resistances. That being said, it has 3 great abilities offering a slew of immunities and resistances, as well as a way to reliably hit ghosts
- It has major four moveslot syndrome, as it automatically needs Milk Drink, leaving it with only three slots to achieve any single goal it has.

[SET COMMENTS]
- 95 | 105 | 70 Defenses provide good bulk on both ends
- Body Slam helps spread paralysis, Return is a reliable mono-attack as well
- Stealth Rocks can help to support its team, as well as via Toxic and Thunder Wave
- Milk Drink gives it a reliable form of recovery
- Heal Bell allows miltank to support it's team by removing status
- Thick fat makes for a great check to Charizard, Regice, and other Fire / Ice types.
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- Sap Sipper can be used since with defensive Miltank also gets great utility in pivoting into grass type moves.
- Thunder Wave is a great option against more offensive teams in supporting your attackers.
- Seismic Toss can be used as an alternative primary attack.
- CB Golurk is an amazing partner, as it appreciates Paralysis as well as Rock, and can sponge fighting hits for Miltank. Musharna and other Ghost types also help to sponge hits from it's super effective type, while Miltank's stealth rocks can also be preserved by ghosts. Finally, Garbodor is a great partner, taking fighting hits and setting up a different layer of hazards.
- In terms of more offensive partners, the removal of Regice and Charizard greatly aids grass type sweepers such as SubCM Serperior and Rain Dance Ludicolo.
- Using a spread of 236 HP / 136 SDef / 136 Spd lets you jump Adamant Sawk in speed, and also still maintain defense with a Jump point in Special Defense!

evs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
[SET COMMENTS]
- 100 Base Speed allows it to outspeed a large portion of the metagame, making it extremely quick
- Solid base 80 attack allows it to hit hard when equipped with a life orb
- Milk Drink helps it recover recoil damage, allowing it to be an all out attacker, but also to sponge hits for it's team
- Double Edge is the strongest viable normal move miltank has, while Return is more reliable and causes less recoil
- Earthquake helps Miltank hit steels and rock types which typically wall it.
- Punishment can be used to cover Ghosts, but Ice Punch lets it hit Golurk and Drifblim slightly harder. Heal Bell can be used in tangent with Scrappy, since the coverage on ghosts is no longer needed and thus Heal Bells utility is appreciated.
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- Body Slam can be used as main STAB to spread paralysis, but this set needs the added power
- Toxic can be used over Punishment, to hit walls on the switch and cripple them
- Appreciates Misdreavus and Musharna, who can cripple opposing teams with status to let miltank sweep, as well as to absorb fighting attacks aimed at miltank.
- Garbodor is an amazing partner, as it can absorb fighting attacks, as well as set up spikes / toxic spikes to make Miltank's job easier. It also enjoys aid from Skuntank, who offensively beats a lot of Miltank's more nasty checks such as Misdreavus and Musharna via a pursuit trap.

[SET COMMENTS]
- Good alternative bulky setup sweeper
- Milk Drink + Natural Bulk sets it apart from it's competition e.g. Gurdurr and Floatzel
- Moodoo especially appreciates help from pokemon to deal with Mandibuzz such as Eelektross, LO Samurott, Rotom, or other strong special attackers, as Mandibuzz easily runs through this set dryly between Taunt and Toxic, while whirlwinding you out after you've accumulated any boosts.
- After one to two curses most physical attackers are incapable of dealing with it
- Body Slam helps it paralyze opponents, but return hits harder
- Scrappy lets it function well as a mono-attacker, unlike Vigoroth or Gurdurr
- Heal Bell lets it continue sweeping regardless of status.
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- More than the other sets, this set appreciates Toxic Spikes, as while it is setting up it can toxic stall, which makes Garbodor and Roselia again, amazing partners to help set Toxic Spikes as well as absorb Fighting moves.
- This set pairs well with other bulky sweepers, as they wear down each other's checks and counters, so Duosion, Musharna, and Gurdurr all make great partners.
- Thick Fat can be used if your team fears strong fire / ice attacks, although Scrappy is preferred due to the mono-attacking nature of the set.
- Earthquake can be used over Heal Bell for a more offensive take on Moodoo.\
- Moodoo especially appreciates help from pokemon to deal with Mandibuzz such as Eelektross, LO Samurott, Rotom, or other strong special attackers, as Mandibuzz easily runs through this set dryly between Taunt and Toxic, while whirlwinding you out after you've accumulated any boosts.
[Other Options]
- Zen Headbutt can hit Fighting-types on the switch, but it is difficult to fit onto any set
- Fire Punch and ThunderPunch can hit specific targets 4x effectively, but Return and Double-Edge equal/outmatch their damage output on anything else
- Hammer Arm or Gyro Ball on Curse set, but they are mediocre options
- In order to beat Rock or Steel types, Miltank can employ Brick Break, but it is generally inferior to Earthquake.
- RestTalk can be used as an alternative to Milk Drink + Heal Bell to heal off and rid yourself of status, but it is unreliable and frankly less practical.
- Miltank has access to both Sunny Day and Rain Dance, but with no safe way to switch out to it's weather abusing allies without them taking damage, and a lack of priority setup, it is comparably worse than such weather setters as Volbeat and Liepard.
[Checks & Counters]
- Gurdurr can set up in its face
- Probopass can somewhat stall it out
- Taunt, Encore, and Trick are extremely annoying for this set
- CB Sawk avoids OHKO from Moofensive from full health, OHKO'ing back
- Throh can set up against Miltank and Circle Throw Moodoo
- Alomomola walls Moofensive
- Misdreavus and other ghosts can Burn, Taunt, and wall non-Scrappy Miltank

I've implemented both of your checks, though I would like to know (it's been a while so I've forgotten) if its set-up or setup.
