Alphability ORAS [Check Post #232]

Ah forgot about Volt Absorb.

Still, it has such high powered moves in V-Create, Blue Flare, Bolt Strike, etc...that aren't too accurate and Victory Star can at least patch up some of its accuracy problems. I guess it's a tossup between those two
V-Create is 95% Accuracy.
And if you're going with V's, other mons benefit more than Victini. Vaporeon is the best benefitter from volt absorb, and virizion get victory star to boost the accuracy of its stone edge and focus miss not anymore blast.

Focus Miss is still only 77% accurate. I guess that's better for Virizion since it really doesn't care too much for Volt Absorb aside from switching into electric attacks or absorbing Thunder Wave.

Unfortunately, there are no good Pokemon that start with C that would enjoy Compound Eyes Focus Miss.
 
Anyone who's played BH knows that sturdy shed isn't as easy to get rid of as it seems... Especially in the hands of a good player.
Even in hackmons. Look up the rating of "Shedinja Boss O.O" on the ladder. Teams of 6 Sheddy are terrifying.
 
Charizard-Y is probably better off with Contrary+Overheat.

Are there any Pokemon with Prankster+Destiny Bond other than Phantump?

Shuckle @ Leftovers/Mental Herb/Chesto Berry
Ability: Shadow Tag
EVs: 248 HP / 232 Def / 28 SDef
Calm Nature
IVs: NaN Atk / NaN SAtk
- Power Split
- Encore
- Toxic
- Rest

Shadow Tag Shuckle might seem interesting. Power Split cripples every Attacker trying to break throught Shuckle, allowing it to tank CB Slaking and survive even Scarf Kyogres Water Spout. Critical Hits won't bypass Power Split. Encore Punishes set-up Sweepers trying to use Shuckle as a Set up Bait. It creates free turns, which can be exploit with Set up Sweepers. Toxic is to stall out pokemon.
Rest gives Shuckle Recovery and removes Status. Shuckle can easily Stall out the three turns thanks to Encore, Power Split and Shadow Tag.
Leftovers gives Shuckle Free Recovery. These 6.25% every turn are really frustrating on Shuckle, because it won't take much damage anyway. Mental Herb gives it a one time protection against Taunt. This allows you to Encore Taunt once. Chesto Berry is obvious.
The stat spread gives Shuckle the most overall bulk. The lack of Offensive IVs is because of Power Split.

You stole my old avatar! All joking aside I think It's hilarious that I made a pet mod a few days ago (hasn't been approved yet) where Gallade got Gale Wings. And don't ask me why yet! It has to be a surprise!
 
Ok guys, please realize something. Hustle + Hone claws is just a +2 attack boost. It's just a swords dance that takes up an ability slot so that it will have +1 immediately. If you going to take a turn to setup, run whatever with SD and not hustle hone claws because all it does for u is have a boost sooner
Actually it is a 2,25x boost as 1,5 from hone claws* 1,5 from hustle is 2.25

No wonder I got a B in math class Ok you're right. It's still a bit too insignificant of a boost when it uses up ur ability and a move slot. Something that learns SD and gets hustle+hone claws still probably should run SD with a better ability (looking at u Haxorus), or hustle also because then u get 1.5 hustle and x2 SD making it (I'm scared to do math now) x3 total, right? (100x1.5=150,x2=300, which is 100x3).
For alternative H abilities, there's Hyper cutter, Harvest, hydration (new drizzlers, it could be useful) and huge power :).
Is it possible for Haxorus to run Leichi berry harvest, and when he gets weak he will harvest more berries and keep boosting and own everything?

Compound Eyes Inferno Mega Charizard-Y.
No Guard Ninetales inferno (I believe I mentioned this earlier). It's weaker but more accurate.
 
I was going to say that Hustle Haxorus with Hone Claws would be good with Stone Edge (giving it 85% accuracy after all the various changes) but then I checked and guess what Haxorus doesn't learn? Yeah.
Only viable if you want to run Iron Tail, as Hone Claws increases its accuracy to *gasp* 79.8%! That's huge!

All joking aside, it's still slightly more damage than standard Haxorus with SD, so it's something.

What about Eviolite Golbat? Pois/Fly is a nice defensive typing and lacking Crobat's speed is less an issue. Not much to abuse though but fast Roost is good and it might be able to manage a curse set. Maybe an NP Air Slash set?

It's a 2.25x attack boost at stage one, 3x boost at stage two, 4.5x at four, and a 6x boost at stage six.

EDIT: In addition, Stone Edge and Cross Chop end up 96% accurate after one Hone Claws counting hustle, Iron tail ends up at 90%, and High Jump Kick, Sky Attack (for PH Hawlucha), and Megahorn get over 100%
