Best starter?

My favorite starter is magmortar.It beats gyarados,bronzong,abomasnow,metagross and such and I also have taunt on it if I know a ninjask or smeargle is gonna try to set up on me.Also it's one of my favorite pokemon.

Yanmega is also a good one
 
But if Wobbeffet gets sleeped, he's gone. Breloom is faster. SubSeeding ones would just sit there and laugh. Most things are faster, and as long as you can out predict it, you win. Anything that can set up with a Swords Dance or Nasty Plot, if they have a move strong enough to OHKO after 3 stat ups will win as well.
 
lucario could work in a one on one.

lucario @ focus sash
adamant nature, 252 Att 252 speed
-me first
-agility
-reversal
-crunch

just an idea. another simple solution could just be a scarfed sweeper.

Also replaced with whatever poke you want that also learns endeavor/priority.

Nah

****ing
Evil
Annoying
Rodent

Swinub is also good at this, is immune to sandstorm and hail, AND has ice shard, which can hit ghosts (oh wait... endeavor is normal, isnt it? ah well).

Swinub @ Focus Sash
Lonely (+A, -D)
Ice Shard
Endeavor
 
Alright peoplez, I've decided to go with the countering Blissey. What nature should it be? If it has focus sash does it realy need to be Bold?

Me First isn't really a priority move, right? It only works if you are faster, so if they are Quick Attacking then you're screwed? Correct me if I'm wrong here.


I'd certainly have fun putting something like this out there...

Togekiss@Focus Sash
Timid, 252spatk/252spd
Air Slash
Aura Sphere
Thunder Wave/Body Slam
Hyper Beam/Body Slam

This should have a CHANCE to win against almost any Pokemon. Thunder Wave-immune Pokemon who are faster like Garchomp or even Jolteon would the caveat, and relying on the flinch chance might not be any good compared to some other strategies for the rest of Pokemon. I'd certainly have fun doing it, though.

Edit: Sorry for the double post; when I get bored late at night (or early in the morning... :x) I forget which threads I've already replied once too since I'm reading em' a second time...
 
Specsmence is a monster. If Sash Breloom Spores you it's not doing a damn thing to you with Seed bomb or Focus Punch.
 
The fastest Hypnosis in the game goes to......Crobat!

Crobat @ Wide Lens
Jolly nature, 252 Att 252 speed
-Hynosis
-Aerial Ace
-Haze/Confuse Ray
-Cross Poison/Return

Just try whatever attacking moves work. Haze is to prevent set ups, Confuse Ray to be a bitch in general.
