Sharpedo Lead (Not technically an Anti-Lead)
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/sharpedo

This can turn into a full revamp immediately if somebody want to help with it. I can do the other sets but I haven't played with them so it will take about a week or so for me to play test and find good teammates etc. This is my first analysis so if anyone wants to completely scrap what I have written here and write something better, please do.

[SET]
name:Lead
move 1: Taunt
move 2: Aqua Jet
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Crunch
item: Life Orb/Focus Sash/Lum Berry
ability: Rough Skin
nature: Jolly
evs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd

[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Sharpedo has all the moves and stats it needs to make an effective lead in any tier that isn't Uber. What really sets Sharpedo apart is its ability. Rough Skin helps it deal with Fake Out users like Infernape Ambipom and Persian by consecutively breaking their sash. A speedy taunt prevents slower leads from setting up. With Crunch dealing the first blow, Aqua Jet will finish off faster leads like Azelf and Aerodactyl.</p>

<p> Life Orb is the primary item option here but if you want to stay in on anything with U-turn or you arn't comfortable with your prediction skills, Focus Sash works great with Sharpedo's frailness and guarantees you will beat most leads. Life orb allows you to function outside of being an anti lead and lets you wreck havoc later in the battle.A Lum berry is an option if you want to take on Roserade's and Jumpluff's Sleep Powder.</p>

<p>STAB Aqua Jet is a great asset in any tier and means that Sharpedo is not revenged without hurting it's opponent. Scizor will not be able to revenge KO you without taking significant damge from Aqua Jet and Rough Skin. A Sharpedo in high health can survive Bullet Punch and hit twice with Aqua Jet. Choice Scarf Heatran takes Super effective damage before getting hit. Gyarados is Taunted before being able to Dragon Dance making it much easier to deal with. Most versions of Tyranitar are OHKO'd by EQ after stealth rock damage. In UU Crunch and Earthquake let you deal significant damage to bulky tanks like Slowbro and Registeel. </p>

<p>You could make the set mixed and replace Crunch with Hydro Pump or Waterfall if you want to offensively take on Hippowdon if you want but with accuracy issues you lose your ability to take on certain leads like Azelf. It 's usually better to Taunt and switch to something that can take the Earthquake.</p>

<p>Sharpedo easily deals with the top OU lead with the notable exception of Jirachi whos standard lead sets do bad things to you between flinches and U-turn. Ground immunes help with Metagross' Earthquakes after you Taunt it. In UU it functions almost just as well against all of the standard leads with a few notable exceptions. Between sleep powder and grass moves, Roseade has got you beat pretty good unless you use a sash or lum berry. Crobat can also U turn for super effective damage with little peril to itself from rough skin. Arcanine makes a great switch in with its bulk and mixed attaking abilities to take on whatever Crobat U-turns to. A Scarfed Primeape also helps here being immune to sleep moves and taking minmal damage from U turn. It can hit hard or U-turn out itself on the next turn if it needs too.</p>
 
I just want to know what makes this an "anti-lead". Having Taunt doesn't make you an "anti-lead", since not every lead uses SR.

Let's look at what this set does against common leads (keep in mind that sharpedo has pitiful 70/40/40 defenses and is weak to U-turn):

Azelf: it gets SR up, then either switches out or dies to AJ. Or it just U-turns out before you even touch it.

Metagross: it OHKOs you if you dont have focus sash, or it just 2hkos you since you cant ohko it back.

Jirachi- is faster than you, so it gets SR up. Or it just u-turns out for massive damage

Swampert- OHKOs you and you cant 2hko. or it gets SR up.

Aerodactyl- gets SR up

Hippowdon- OHKOs you even through sash because of sand stream

Infernape- Fake Out + Close Combat beats you with a sash.

Bronzong- 2hkos you and you fail to 2hko

I could go on but I think you get the point. This set is not an anti-lead, it doesnt beat any of the most common leads.

Having Taunt does not make you an anti-lead. Having a priority move does not make you an anti-lead. Taunt is just a good option on any pokemon, this set isnt different enough from anything else to warrant a new set. Just add Taunt to OO and call it a day.
 
I don't see what makes this effective. I already gave this a shot a while back and it's not effective. A combination of 2 Aqua Jet will not OHKO standard Crobat with leftovers. This anti-lead looses to Ambipom with a combination of Fake-Out and Return / Double Hit. Sharpedo looses to Yanmega and will also fail to OHKO with Aqua Jet Life Orb-less.

Sharpedo easily deals with the top OU lead

Not really that effective in OU, UU is it's last hope but It still has a hard time dealing with UU leads. With a slow taunt, it will fail to fullfill its duties to prevent SR from being dropped. If you happen to outspeed someone with a Taunt, you will still loose to the top-nothc bulky leads today like Metagross, Swampert or Bronzong

Azelf: it gets SR up, then either switches out or dies to AJ. Or it just U-turns out before you even touch it.

IIRC Azelf Statisically does not carry U-turn. Having it die just having got stealth rock up is good enough for most people.

Metagross: it OHKOs you if you dont have focus sash, or it just 2hkos you since you cant ohko it back.

Most Metagross go for rocks first so Taunt and switch to Rotom or any other ground immune. You 2HKO with EQ IIRC. If you EQ turn one and they attack you with EQ, then with aqua jet and rough skin metagross KO's itself.

Jirachi- is faster than you, so it gets SR up. Or it just u-turns out for massive damage

I already mentioned how Jirachi destroys this set

Swampert- OHKOs you and you cant 2hko. or it gets SR up.
Taunt and switch. If you really wanted to outright KO him HP grass will do the job with a minmial EV investment or even just a neutral nature

Aerodactyl- gets SR up
Same thing as with Azlef, most people consider this pretty good. You still have you sash intact with great offensive stats and moves to hurt whatever comes in.

Hippowdon- OHKOs you even through sash because of sand stream.
Same as metagross most go straight for rocks. Taunt and switch to a ground immune

Infernape- Fake Out + Close Combat beats you with a sash.

With Aqua jet and rough skin infernape is KO'd too

Bronzong- 2hkos you and you fail to 2hko.

Taunt and switch. You've neutered Bronzongs main purpose

I could go on but I think you get the point. This set is not an anti-lead, it doesnt beat any of the most common leads.

I can go on but i think you missed the point. It's maybe not technically an anti-lead but it functions well as lead against other leads

I have logs if I need to show the effectiveness of this set.

franky said:

Sashed Crunch + Aqua Jet will KO crobat ... if it attacks you, it dies due to rough skin.


This anti-lead looses to Ambipom with a combination of Fake-Out and Return / Double Hit.
Ambipom is like infernape. With Aqua jet and rough skin it kills itself


Sharpedo looses to Yanmega and will also fail to OHKO with Aqua Jet Life Orb-less.
Okay it loses to yanmega

You probably should post logs, since using Taunt on something with 70/40/40 defenses is insanely and unnecessarily risky when there are tons of things that already do this and more, better. You're just asking to mispredict and be OHKOd by anything that moves.

Its also worth noting that this set is basically exclusive for OU use, since it does even worse against common UU leads.
 
twash and mrobison, if you dont mind, i would like to test this myself, i will play 10-15 matches and post the logs. hopefully this will put it to bed (twss)

edit: these will all be ou matches, as this is pretty terrible in uu, i dont know why this is here but if you want, i can test it in uu as well
 
ok so...

yeah this convinced me to switch to sash, under the thinking that i could then potentially take down a zam lead (and those arent that common), with crunch + aqua jet it ohkos me with focus blast before i do something.


---


with all of the respect in the world to these players who fought against me, they obviously werent the best out there, and i was very underwhelmed with this as a lead, as it cant really set up, and its somewhat hard to win a lot of lead matchups. just look at jrrrr's quick little analysis of this lead to see why i dislike it so far as well.

i will now be testing sash, hopefully to surprise a few leads.

so far, it has potential but its obvious i will need to battle quite a bit to truly test its effectiveness. so much for "10-15"
 
focus sash lead, will try to go back to life orb later and edit that in to the above post (seperating the 2 items by 2 dif posts):

my thoughts: i hate this lead but "its able to work with that fast taunt and some decent coverage". i feel perhaps it could deserve a spot (although sash is the item to use) in the analysis

time will tell though

A few minor corrections.

<p>Sharpedo easily deals with the top OU leads with the notable exception of Jirachi whose standard lead sets do bad things to you between flinches and U-turns. Pokémon with Ground immunity help with Metagross' Earthquakes after you Taunt it. In UU it functions almost just as well against all of the standard leads with a few notable exceptions. Between Sleep Powder and STAB Grass moves, Roseade has got you beat pretty good unless you use a Sash or Lum Berry. Crobat can also U-turn for super effective damage with little peril to itself from Rough Skin. Arcanine makes a great switch in with its bulk and mixed attacking abilities to take on whatever Crobat U-turns to. A Scarfed Primeape also helps here being immune to sleep moves and taking minimal damage from U-turn. It can hit hard or U-turn out itself on the next turn if it needs to.</p>

I read through KD's logs (of sash) and only in 1 instance did it not do anything particularly useful (taunt against Salamence?).

It seems to be a moderately useful lead for certain purposes but can't defeat many leads outright, instead simply taunting them and switching.
 
I know that this site is very much against posting sets that are outclassed, but it does tend to post such sets on pokemon who just suck so much that they would have no sets if we only gave them sets they could do better than something else. For instance, Beedrill is given CB and SD sets, even though he would be outclassed at them by things like Zangoose, Floatzel, and perusing the NU list, many others (especially the CB). Maybe Sharpedo sucks just enough that the fact that it has at least done useful things in OU is worthy of mention. I don't know if Smogon has an official policy for super shitty pokemon, I'm just going by what's on the site.

@KD24: I noticed that charge beam, LO Jolteon is not in the analysis (the only set with charge beam is the BP, and none have LO). Although the logs are about Sharpedo, your Jolteon seems to have been MVP in several of those games... plus, I've seen lots of LO Jolts out there. Maybe you should submit that set?

This is late, but I wanted to point out that the "Beedrill" you are talking about is a gliscor. His name is just Beedrill lol

I seems like the focus sash set helped your jolteon out by forcing many switches so it can charge beam. Whatever other people say, I think this set has some potential in OU play, actually
 
er i already did and im pretty sure blue kirby or someone incorperated that write up in a full revamp

:/

im flattered that you like the set but i most certainly didnt invent it and its already being worked on by other contributors. however, this thread should remain focused on sharpedo.
 
Going to revisit this set. A lot has changed. UU where this will probably be the most effective has changed and now that Roserade and Yanmega are gone, it will be significantly more effective as a lead as it can function better without a Lum berry. I need to check on how it takes on Ambipom with its changes as well. For the same reasons it does well against Azelf it will do better against Alakazam.

It has Super Fang now so that will need to be tested. Taunt is really a personal choice, but I really like it it the lead position. Are there any other new moves it got that people feel should warrant a slash?

Aqua Jet
Crunch
Earthquake/Super Fang
Taunt/Super Fang
@Focus Sash
Jolly/Adamant 252 Sp/ 252 Att

This is what I will be testing for a UU lead set

I would love to do a Sharpedo analysis with someone as it needs a full revamp mainly because of Super Fang. I don't have the time to do it entirely by myself.

Edit: Can this be moved to UU? Despite my findings of it being effective in the old Suspect and OU, others didn't. This belongs in the UU forum right now
 
We're not allowed to do HG/SS movesets yet. So you can't do an analysis using Super Fang until a couple of weeks from now, if I remember correctly.
 
I moved this to UU for now since the set should reflect where Sharpedo is more successful in (especially this set). Then again, a good point was brought up about the Super Fang tidbit. I'll keep this open for now.
 
I'm writing the Sharpedo UU analysis right now, so if you want help to re-write this for UU then I'll help out. I haven't tried out the OU set, but the logs make it seem pretty effective.
 
the OP hasn't done any work on this since October, and there is a Sharpedo lead set in the current update. moving this to the outdated analyses forum; PM me if you feel it should be moved back for some reason.
