You should ask a mod for that. I dont really know. Maybe harsha, Pocket, Iconic, etc.Edit: I have one more question, Can I post the basic composition of my team on here to avoid making an RMT?

Interestingly the current clause rules say nothing about this situation.I just thought about this the other day:
Can Effect Spore break Sleep Clause? Say you have already Spore'd an opponent's Poke with your Amoonguss, but you aren't running Regenerator, and the opponent activates Effect Spore with another Poke. Will they go to sleep, or is that breaking the clause?
I'm new and still learn but Venusaur is probably the best chlorophyll (I think). Under the sun it reaches 696 speed with Max+. The main threat you would have to deal is scizor due to bullet punch. If i missed anything someone could fill in/correct meIve been trying to make a sun team, and im still in search of the perfect chlorophyll abuser for my team. Ive been trying exeggutor, and he does fantastic until a scarfer pops up. Despite the sheer power and wonderful coverage, the speed always seems to be a problem. Is there another chlorophyll abuser who has equal or greater coverage (especially if it can run a mixed set), better speed, decent bulk, and enough strength to break down teams in the sun (better if it can be done right off the bat)? If not, is there an alternate spread for exeggutor that allows me to outspeed pokemon like naive scarfmence while retaining enough power to still hit thing hard with psychic and have ensured kos with hidden power fire and wood hammer and nature power?

Ah thanks. I didnt realize venusaur was the best even though he was obviously in ou *facepalm*. what would be the most viable set atm? I dont want to end up getting walled by something. Would a specially based set with earthquake work? And is it mandatory to have growth on it?there is only one real chlorophyll sweeper in OU - venusaur, preferably with enough speed to outrun scarf 110s (this does not require maximum speed but it does require a timid nature). out of all the standard growth chloro sweepers, venusaur has the best bulk and speed with which to pull it off. generally other chloro sweepers are only worth using if you're already using venusaur and want to do some kind of chlorophyll spam team (not sure how viable this is atm although it was a fun gimmick in BW1, just slap 3 chloro and go). you shouldn't even be running exegg unless it's as a wallbreaker to break through for venusaur (this was explored a bit in BW1, idk about now).

Who will be the next suspects after Keldeo and Torn-T? Or has this been undecided as of right now?
I think ill try that out. i remember seeing something like this on the analysis page so ill chck that out. Thanks :)Hey HotColdYay c:
Well, Victreebel is an option with this stats:
HP: 80
Attack: 105
Defense: 65
S. Attack: 100
S. Defense: 60
Speed: 70
He is not as bulky as Venusaur (80, 83, 100) but is better as a Mixed Sweeper. Victree has also access to Weather Ball as his fire-type attack in sun. Also, he reaches 524 Speed with Naive and 252 EVs. That's enough to outspeed every scarfer that has less than 110 Base speed (named Scarf Latios and others such as Jolteon, Zebstrika, Tornadus-T, etc, which are not commonly seen). With this you can run a mixed set that im just creating right now.
Victreebel @Life Orb
Trait: Chlorophyll
Naive Nature
128 Atk / 128 SAtk / 252 Spe
-Weather Ball
-Leaf Blade / Solarbeam
-Growth
-Sludge Bomb / Return
After the Gene suspect, Keldeo and Tornadus-T came to another supect.Who will be the next suspects after Keldeo and Torn-T? Or has this been undecided as of right now?
Alright, ill give special-saur a try. Ive packed a final gambit victini and moxie scarfmence to help kill off heatran and other troublesome things. As for scarfmence, if i plan on making it all physical, what moveset should i give it for sun team? Or is that a bad idea?Victreebel has a very difficult time setting up a Growth due to its abysmal bulk. Sleep Powder is normally the better option, but why not simply use Venusaur? It's faster than Victreebel, noticeably bulkier which means that it can get a Growth off in the first place, and the slight power difference barely matters when Venusaur gets to +2. If you're walled by Heatran, you can always run EQ on Venusaur, or pack a Dragon such as Hydreigon or Garchomp that do well in sun and have moves that can OHKO Heatran. Alternatively, you can slap HP Ground on Pokemon such as Ninetales and Volcarona
If you are running Scarfmence you need a moveset like outrage, earthquake (for heatran), fire blast and dragon claw if you dont want to get trapped when you dont need to. With fire blast in sun you can deal very nice with scarmory.Alright, ill give special-saur a try.

You have two options, the bulky one and the chestp resto (i like it a lot)What is the optimal EV spread / moveset for Volcarona on a sun team? Is the bulky spread listed in the analysis still it's best set, or has it become obsolete since BW2?
If your team has ways past Hetran, it I'd pretty good, except maybe roost > morning sunWhat is the optimal EV spread / moveset for Volcarona on a sun team? Is the bulky spread listed in the analysis still it's best set, or has it become obsolete since BW2?
Okay, I like this set. What would you recommend for an item? Life for power, or leftovers for bulk?If your team has ways past Hetran, it I'd pretty good, except maybe roost > morning sun
I personally prefer a 252 spa / 252+ spe with qd/fblast/bug buzz. Last move is either hp ground (heatran) or giga drain (fucks rain teams in the ass + good recovery)
The current spread is fine for bulky booster. But i tend to use 144 hp/252 def/112 spe, bold nature, lefties, same moves. I remember seeing this somewhere on smogon in the analysis area... Anyway, with this spread, the physical bulk is better, the hp lets you go into rocks twice before dying, and after one quiver dance, you outspeed all non scarfed positive natured base 130 speed pokemon.What is the optimal EV spread / moveset for Volcarona on a sun team?

Thanks mate!@Takion:
I would say zero. Walling isn't really important when you just want to apply as much offensive pressure as possible. However, bulky offensive Pokemon like Special Defensive Rotom-W can still work (since VSwitch provides offensive momentum and has strong STABs vs. Rain); it really depends on the team.
Back to your question: Heavy Offense does not need any tanks.
