Project The Next Best Thing

Pawniard @ Life Orb
Ability: Defiant
Level: 5
EVs: 236 Atk / 36 Def / 36 SpD / 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 HP
- Knock Off
- Sucker Punch
- Iron Head
- Power-up Punch

I like having Pawniard as another wincon sometimes when I use it : ) PuP lets it beat other Evio Pawniard at +1 while also being a psuedo-boosting move. Running Jolly also lets it threaten most Mienfoo sets, specifically Slowfoo and bulky foo. You can PuP on the switchin, deal some damage, and then threaten with a +1 Iron Head. With a max roll PuP you deal 20%, min roll Iron head +1 you deal 66%, to 236 / 196 Foo. Min roll PuP you deal 16%, max roll Iron Head you deal 80%, so with rocks theres a good chance you beat Mienfoo. Still lose to Ponyta tho. But at least you get stylish points : )

Pawniard @ Eviolite
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 196 Def, 196 SpD, 116 Speed
Careful Nature
Moves:
Substitute
Spite
Mean Look
Knock Off

The idea of this set is to lure in any defensive mons that plan on paralyzing or burning Pawniard, using Mean Look on the switch, Subbing up, and beating them with Knock Off or PP stalling.
Needs Wish support, but the unexpectedness of this set is what makes it effective.

[mad0ka]

i really like zf's and fiend's sets, but imma have to go with ZF because psycho cut takes advantage of not only mienfoo but other fighters like timburr and croagunk, thus being more useful overall. also kills trashmon (trubbish, a pawn "counter")

 

[TruSwagblu]

Fiend

 

[gali]

fiend

really innovative set

 

[RZL]

Fiend hands down

Bunnelby @ Life Orb
Ability: Huge Power
Level: 5
EVs: 228 Atk / 132 Def / 148 SpD
Adamant Nature
IVs: 23 HP
- Return
- Earthquake
- Iron Head / Quick Attack
- Agility

Here we see Agility Bunnelby, a true terror once set up. With a decent 12 Speed uninvested hitting 24 after an Agility, we can afford to invest in Bunnelby's bulk while still maximizing its Attack. The IV gives a crisp LO number, which is alright cause Bunnelby has a bit more bulk to set up with. Idk what else to say, get fast then wreck mons with 24 Speed Life Orb Huge Power Bunnelby.

Bunnelby @ Berry Juice
Ability: Huge Power
Level: 5
EVs: 52 HP / 228 Atk / 220 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Return
- Earthquake
- Thief
- Substitute / Quick Attack

Thief BJ Bunny works pretty well since it likes to get practically every item while it OHKOs gastly which a popular Bunny counter. It can be run with both sub to force BJ to work while absorbing status or quick attack to hit stab priority, or even a random coverage such as Iron Head/Stone edge/Wild Charge etc.

Bunnelby @ Silk Scarf / Life Orb
Ability: Huge Power
Level: 5
EVs: 132 HP / 228 Atk / 144 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Quick Attack / Thief
- Earthquake
- Return

14 speed, Bulk Up Bunny is rather godly. Silk Scarf allows it to bluff the scarf set somewhat while hitting with ungodly power. If run on webs, full stall win break instantly; if run on any other team, most walls will not live to see another day. QA at +1 KOes bulky fletch after SR making it unable to RK, though Thief is a surprise and will KO Gastly and in general maine should be counters. Return and EQ just shred 97% of the tier after a boost. Speed tiers need to be known; much of what is in a higher bracket should be worn down. Ghosts need to be dead with the exception of Pumpka whom just needs prior damage if Thief is ran. It does however, simply just kill anything that it does touch.

Bunnelby @ Eviolite
Ability: Huge Power
Level: 5
EVs: 52 HP / 228 Atk / 220 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Return
- Earthquake
- Wild Charge
- Spikes

Offensive Spiker. Use Spikes when you can force something out. Wild Charge hits common Defoggers Archen+vullaby, also wrecks Rapid Spin Staryu. Eviolite means it can survive Archen's Acrobatics and OHKO back.

Bunnelby @ Salac Berry
Ability: Huge Power
Level: 5
EVs: 52 HP / 228 Atk / 52 Def / 140 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Substitute
- Earthquake
- Flail
- Stone Edge

Bam, Salac+Sub+Flail is a total nuke, accompany that thing with something that can take down priority attackers and Knock Off support if you want and it's gg. EQ and SE are nice coverage moves.
