Rampardos @ choice Specs
MOdest
154 HP / 252 SpATK / 100 Spd
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam
- Fire Blast
- Dragon Pulse / Hidden Power [Grass / Electric]

Rampardos' special attack is often overlooked for its massive attack stat. this aims to change that. and get the surprise on your opponent.

ev:
252 sp attack to get the most out of it.
100 speed to outspeed skarmory
154 rest into HP

Attack:
earth power: general stab
ice beam: hits flyers
fire blast: skarmory killer
dragon pulse: good "roundabout" move
Hidden Power: cover things need for the rest of your team. gyarados
 
First off, why does that Rampardos have manually drawn eyes? o_0

And second, it wouldn't be a very good Special Sweeper. It has 65 base Sp.Atk, and the only way a Pokemon with that kind of Sp.Atk could be used as a Special Sweeper is with Nasty Plot. And the 165 Atk could be used with different attacks so it's still unexpected.
 
^Err... Rampardos doesn't get STAB on Earth Power; it's a pure Rock-type, and not part Ground. Thus, the set doesn't have any STAB moves (and I believe the only special Rock-type move it gets is AncientPower). Beyond that, I really don't see the point. With the tremendous difference in it's Special Attack and Attack stats (it's Attack stat being sky-high, and it's Special Attack being a terrible 65), I'm pretty confident that it would do more to even things like Skarmory with Phsyical moves. Rampardos just wants Physical attacks plain and simple: it really has no business with special attacks.

ahh i was thinking earth power was rock type. i guess earth =/= rock :/
maybe mud-slup/ancient power could work with either lowering acc or raising your own stats too bad it doesnt get power gem

Too gimmicky just to beat Blissey. You lose HP Fire and your only check to Metagross and Scizor, I'd prefer Expert Belt with Focus Punch and HP Fire, you beat all of your checks in Scizor, Tyranitar, and Blissey, however you still lose to metagross, whom would still beat you, tricked black sludge or not.

Well, the set that I proposed does take a blow on Gengar's sweeping potential, but it is meant to surprise opponents who would, on most occasions, switch in a wall on Gengar. Also, Blissey is not the only one who gets screwed over by this set. This could also take a toll on Suicune, Celebi, and perhaps most other CM sets/ that can serve as a special wall who would otherwise laugh at Gengar.

Rampardos does not get STAB from Earth Power. Also, let's not forget Rampardos' naturally low speed and frailty. I like the idea of taking advantage of Rampardos' special attack movepool, but I don't think his stats would cut it.

His special attack is low, and I see that you are trying to remedy that using Choice Specs. However, let's not forget that Rampardos would be slower than most Pokemon out there, and after he strikes and gets locked onto a move, he's just screaming for a switch-out. Of course, the element of surprise could be of a benefit for this set, but personally, I think this would be better off as a mixed set with a Choice Scarf...

that's your opinion...bitch.
 
Rampardoscreech

objective: take advandage of screech using Rampardos.

Rampardos @ Lifeorb
- Screech
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Zen Headbutt

works similar to the sward dance set EXCEPT screech on the switch instead of dancing. this works cause they may switch again after the screech since it would lower there defense they would want something fresh out so take advantage of this with srock and spikes.

after a screech and with life orb and critcal stone edge rampy can probably ohko anything in the game.

I think the Swords Dance version works better because:
1. Screech does not have 100% accuracy, meaning that it can miss.
2. Some Pokemon have Clear Body or similar abilities that prevent defence-reduction. That would make you waste a turn.

I don't really agree with your logic of the opponent switching out again after a Screech. If the opponent switches in, they usually bring in something that would counter the Rampardos, perhaps something faster and can OHKO the Rampardos. Thus, whether or not the Screech hits, the opponent would just finish off your Poke instead of switching out.

Swords Dance lingers longer than Screech assuming that the Poke affected by Screech gets killed off and Rampardos lives, so I think the former is more threatening than the latter.
 
Blaziken makes a decent lead...

"Anti"-Lead
257.png

Blaziken (M) @ Focus Sash / Lum Berry
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 96 Atk/236 Spd/176 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Superpower / Stone Edge
- Overheat / Stone Edge
- Vacuum Wave
- Mirror Move
---

Blaziken sports an array of options when it comes to a single moveset. One move, can determine what Blaziken can and can't do. In this case, Blaziken can demolish the opposing lead, or just put them in a checkmate position. This comes from its ability to OHKO and 2HKO a wide variety of leads with Superpower, Overheat and Vacuum Wave alongside Mirror Move's rape.

Before I actually get into this set, I'll just get one simple problem out of the way: Infernape. Infernape can run Naive, 12 Spd/224 Atk/224 SAtk and attain the same stats, leaving it with a maximum of 48 EVs (12 stat points for the lazy) to place anywhere. Infernape can also run Fake Out to ensure that its Focus Sash stays safe against other Focus Sash leads as well as Close Combat, allowing it to last a bit longer.

The single difference between the two is Mirror Move, which allows Blaziken to either lay down its down entry hazards, or screw up another lead that tries to status Blaziken. In order for Blaziken to freely "reflect" a status move back at the opposing lead, the Lum Berry can be used.

Overheat and Superpower make a delicious combination, resisted by only one [uncommon] lead, Gyarados. Vacuum Wave finishes off other leads that either rely on a Focus Sash themselves, or have been withered down to a slither of HP. Stone Edge can be used over either STAB if Gyarados and Salamence continue to be a problem.

When using Blaziken, one should keep in mind that after its Focus Sash is used up, it's death fodder. This set screams, "hey salamence, hey gyarados! come and get me!", so having a Pokemon that can effectively switch in to the two (Porygon2 >_>) is recommended when using this set. It's always nice to keep a Pokemon that can be destructive, yet difficult to switch in such as Azelf, Ditto (yep, he needs love), or Smeargle handy on your team.

I've tested this set multiple times with success on my Level 0 account :s.

Zen Headbutt is retarded. Crunch hits most of Rampardos' switch ins, namely Celebi and Cresselia. This set is decent seeing as how Rampardos can dent quite a few Pokemon in OU. Getting it in and staying in is the hard part lol.

Also, "Screech" is a better name for this set. Rampardosscreech sounds... um... well, I could say retarded, but that would be an understatement.

No need to be a total dick.

Choice Specs Rampardos sounds like something a 10 year old came up with just to be popular. In better terms, it's retarded and should never be used.
 
Rampardos doesn't get Ice Punch. The only decent replacements are Fire Punch and Pursuit. Fire Punch "only" hits Grass-types, while Pursuit is weak but hits much more stuff.
 
Scizor@Choice Specs
248 hp/252 SpAtk/8 spe

hp electric for gyrados, flash cannon and bug buzz for stab, and u-turn for when you cant do anything. You can also bluff a choice band.

Any nature? Gyarados is 2HKO'd with Rash 252 SAtk btw. Not really notable, seeing as how you won't be doing much after you opponent switches >_>.
 
Why lock yourself into a weak ass electric move which Rotom-A and Zapdos don't care about when you can abuse U-Turn + Stealth Rock?

what's really not necessary is you not minding your own damn business.
not that its any of your damn business but yes i have tried the set out multiple times and its worked wonderfully.

If you read the OP, you would know that in order to post a set you must have tested it thoroughly. No reason to get hostile.

You didn't post its nature and ability. Also, why would you give it Choice Specs with physical attacks? My assumption of this set's motive when I saw the Hidden Power Electric is that you were trying to take advantage of Technician, but that assumption was proven false when I saw Flash Cannon...

Final comment: Scizor is not meant for special attacks. You'd be better off with a Choice Band with physical attacks. That reminds me, I jsut came up with this set (I apologize for not being able to use it beforehand, but I just want feedbacks):

Pokemon Name: Ambipom
Moveset Name: Special Ambipom
Move 1: Nasty Plot
Move 2: Shock Wave/Hidden Power Ice (60 power)/Hidden Power Fighting (60 power)/Hidden Power Bug (60 Power)
Move 3: Swift
Move 4: Water Pulse
Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
Nature(s): Timid
EVs: Ordered 4/0/0/252/0/252

This set takes advantage of being an unpredictable special attacker as well as its Technician ability. With this nature and EV spread, this Ambipom will reach at the most 219 points in the special attack stat. However, with Nasty Plot, this stat reaches 438. Coupled with Technician and the above moves (all having a base power of 60), nothing resists it and takes quite a beating (at least in UU).

I shall talk about the moves in more detail: Nasty Plot is essential to get the most out of Ambipom's sweeping potential. Swift is your main move as it activates Technician and is a STAB move. Water Pulse is there to hit rock and steel types that resist Swift, although only the former takes the most beating out of Water Pulse. For the last move, you can go for Shock Wave to beat threats such as Blastoise, Feraligatr (if it didn't get a lot of DD's), Milotic, etc. Hidden Power Fighting is for beating Registeel who resists Swift and takes neutral damage from Water Pulse and Chanseys, Hidden Power Ice is for Altaria, and Hidden Power Bug for Uxie and for more type coverages that Ghost and Dark can provide.

The item that it holds depends on the situation. Life Orb is preferred if you can predict a set-up (such as Curse when they expect a physical set of Ambipom), where you can set up a Nasty Plot. Otherwise, go for Focus Sash for a guaranteed set up. The EV spread is fairly straight-forward: max out speed and special attack, then give the rest in hitpoints to slightly extent its longevity.

Thank you for reading this set. I would like to hear feedbacks when possible.
 
I cant believe Ambipom analysis doesn't have the Special sweep variant but Persian does.

Well, what to expect from those guys :\


Magmar (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 112 Atk / 252 Spd / 144 SAtk
Mild Nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Confuse Ray
- Flare Blitz
- Focus Blast
- Thunderpunch

Well, you wanted originality.

Maybe tomorrow I will post a bttle when thansk to this guy I won the first round of a tournament.

I'm not too keen on Confuse Ray and Flare Blitz. Confuse Ray relies too much on luck and cannot really guarantee anything if your opponent brings in a counter for Magmortar on which you use the Confuse Ray on (and Magmortar isn't the fastest thing around, so it can't really get the most out of it), and Flare Blitz hastens Magmortar's death with Life Orb equipped.

I think you should give it Fire Blast and Focus Punch, as the latter takes advantage of possible rock-type switch-ins. As for Confuse Ray, I think you can give it either Hidden Power Grass or Hidden Power Ice. The former takes care of Slowbro easier, as well as taking care of Quagsire, and let's not forget Regirock. Hidden Power Ice takes care of Altaria who would otherwise resist most of your attacks. I was also thinking of giving it Earthquake instead of Confuse Ray, but I don't think that's a great idea because most things that are damaged by it are capable of killing Magmortar or there are better options. I'm thinking of Scarfed Blaziken, which could EQ you, or use any strong physical attack to devastate you, Steelix that would be better dealt with using Fire Blast, Nidoking/queen that can be dealt with using Hidden Power Ice, Electrode who usually Explodes on you, but usually as a lead so you won't see it much (unless if you plan on leading with Magmortar). The only benefit I see from EQ is a Lanturn check, but again Hidden Power can take care of that. But if you're so inclined to give it EQ, give it a Naughty nature instead.

Well, that's my opinion for now, and holy crap, the special set for Ambipom I came up with is similar to Persian's! They have a similar special movepool too, but I think Persian is slightly better due to Hypnosis, but then again there's that crappy accuracy for it...
