Flare Blitz hits everything harder than Brave Bird except Hariyama though (besides fire types, which Superpower mops up). Brave Bird could still be filler though on ScarfKen I guess.
I don't see any point to using that if its best selling point is "It's not Blissey/Chansey!" Why would you use this over Chansey or Blissey? What does it do better? What advantages does it have? That's what you need to explain, or else all that post says is "Buy a Ford! Why? Because it's not a Lexus!"

Wish SD Leafeon
Leafeon @ Leftovers
Ability: Leaf Guard
EVs: 252 HP/28 Atk/228 Spe
Nature: Jolly
-Wish
-Swords Dance
-Leaf Blade
-Return
So basically, the idea behind this Leafeon is to go on a slower but more steady sweep. Steels must be destroyed first obviously, so pairing him up Dugtrio or Magneton is a good idea. This Leafeon can be pulled out whenever you like. In the early game, start off by Wishing and scouting out the opponent's team while giving the impression that Leafeon is using a defensive Wishing set. Locate your opponent's Steel type and dispatch it, then bring Leafeon in for an SD and potentially sweep. The EVs provided allow you to outspeed all non-Scarfed versions of Rotom. Wish is also great for pulling off multiple SDs if you are up against a weaker physical attacker that doesn't pack status.
Hi guys.
I have been trying this anti-metagame set, and it works really cool.

-Heat Wave
-HP [Rock]
-Hypnosis/Toxic
-Roost
Ok, this set is a pretty good check/counter to some of the most used pokemons, that my team was having problems against. Venusaur is the most used poke in UU, and this set totally shuts it down. You can come in on anything it fires at you, and threaten it with Heat wave or the switch with hypnosis. You can carry toxic if you already have a sleep inducer in your team, or if you find it more useful. Toxic allows you to severely cripple some walls and pokemons, such as non-resting Milo and Slowbro/King. Roost is obvious, since this bird is really durable for such a small thing.
Hp Rock is for moltres, who noctowl can stand up against with its good Hp and SpD.
Raikou plows through it tough.
Opinions?
I was just scrolling through some unique NU Pokemon on the Smogon movesets, as most of them are just ignored and Smogon doesn't take much time to think of a great moveset.
I think Kecleon is the most unique Pokemon out there, because of its fantastic ability and it even got Recover from HGSS. So, I made a moveset to take advantage of both of them.
Kecleon
- Adamant (+Atk, -SpAtk)
- 252 HP/252 Atk/4 SpDef
- Skill Swap, Double-Edge/Sucker Punch, Drain Punch/Brick Break, Recover
- Color Change
- Life Orb/Expert Belt/Big Root
The strategy is to first use Skill Swap, giving the opponent the Color Change ability. Then, use Double-Edge, which should do a lot of damage, with an Adamant nature, 252 Attack EVs, Kecleon's base 90 Attack stat, 30% power increase from Life Orb, and 180 Base Power (since Kecleon's a normal type).
Since the opposing Pokemon now has the "Color Change" ability because of Skill Swap, it becomes a Normal type Pokemon. You can then use Drain Punch (the preferred option, as it recovers a lot of much-needed HP back) or Brick Break (the more powerful option) for Super Effective damage to finish the opponent off. Of course, Double-Edge does more damage then either of them, but why take more recoil damage? After this, use Recover to gain HP back from opponent's attacks as well as Double-Edge and Life Orb recoil.
Of course, the set is far from perfect. It takes three (3) turns to set up, and with only a Base 60 HP and 70 Def stat, Kecleon might not survive long enough. But, it does have a Base 120 SpDef stat, so it can easily take on any pure special attacker not carrying Focus Blast. I'm terrible with EV spreads and Natures, so those might be changed to improve the set. It is also completely walled by Ghosts, which is why Sucker Punch is an option over Double-Edge.
The items can be changed, too, as an Expert Belt would provide more damage on the Fighting attack and a Big Root would allow you to gain more HP back from Drain Punch.
Just use Shadow Claw instead; that way you hit them super-effectively every turn instead of just half.
You mean Shadow Claw to Sucker Punch, right?
Hm, yeah, that could work.
But the problem is that it would be hard to take down Normal types.
Sucker Punch to Drain Punch might work best...
Well that's my Porygon2. I've found it to be a very useful pokemon. What do you think?
No, Shadow Claw to Shadow Claw. Ghost hits Ghost super-effectively.
I ran a Kecleon like this in Emerald. It had Skill Swap-Sub-Punch-Shadow Ball, and easily translates into 4th gen. =\ It's simple, you just haveYou mean Shadow Claw to Sucker Punch, right?
