Bulky Agililamp

This set was made and tested by yours truly, and faired quite well, saving many a poke's ass, and getting an average of 2+ KOs a game. However, this was done in OU rather than UU, as I did not have a viable UU team. If anyone else could help out here, it would be helpful.

[SET]
Name: Bulky Agililamp
Move 1: Agility
Move 2: Surf/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt
Move 3: Surf/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt
Move 4: Thunder Wave/Heal Bell/Third Attack
Nature: Calm/Modest
Item: Expert Belt(RECOMMENDED)/LifeOrb
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 232 SpA, 252 SpD 24 Spe

The Set:
252 SpD for max bulk, as Lanturn already hits 391 Hp, and by the time the sweep starts, Seismic Toss spamming Chanseys should be gone. 24 Speed is to outspeed Base 110s after an Agility. The rest is thrown into the attacking stat. Agility as the core of the set, and each attack
Run 44 Speed EVs to outrun Dugtrio
Run 68 for Sceptile
Run 88 for Swellow

Why this set deserves to be on site:
It is the special version of Agiligross, but in UU. It retains very respectable special bulk, and can be used as support/tank for the majority of the match, preferably until Chansey is taken care of. It is for this reason that Life Orb is not suggested. Late-game however, Lanturn can actually pull off a very decent sweep. Preferably after receiving a Wish to reinforce its bulk, it can come in on a resisted attack, possibly Twave to cause a switch, and set up in a single turn. Even if it does not OHKO the poke, Lanturn has decent enough defenses that it is totally OK, it will get the second shot out.
Having access to Surf, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt make Lanturn very powerful offensively, especially if you opt for all 3 attacks. That takes full advantage of the Expert Belt. The Expert Belt is in place of leftovers because, even for UU and hitting SE on most pokes, Lanturn does not have a 130 base on its attacking stat like Metagross, and so is more defensive.

Teammates and Counters:
Leafeon is a perfect teammate for Agililamp, as it can use Wish, and pass it on to a Lanturn receiving a fire or flying attack directed at the Leaf.
As any other Lanturn, a poke that draws in Electric attacks is a very nice contribution to any team with Agililamp
As well, any Poke capable of removing Chanse is needed

Dugtrio is a viable counter, as it traps, outspeeds, and OHKOs Lanturn. This can be solved by running 44 Speed EVs, though it does reduce bulk.
Sceptile outspeeds this set, and can cause problems. 68 EVs are necessary for the outrun here
Chansey completely walls this set, no matter what
Without Ice Beam, Grass types such as Venasaur and Executor are VERY dangerous to you
Without Thunderbolt, Water types wall you
Without Surf, Regirock is much harder to take down, and any Blaziken carrying EQ may KO you. As well, Surf does more damage to grounds than Ice Beams, due to STAB
 
umm... I think you got the title wrong? and I don't think all those slashes are necessary, maybe the moveset should just be Agility / Surf / Thunderbolt / Ice Beam

Yes, I meant Agililamp, but made a mistake. And the choice of those moves is totally up to you. Some Teams may lack a paralyzer or a Cleric and choose to use this as such,. After all, it still has tanking capabilities.

looks like a p cool set. try 68 speed though to outrun sceptile.

Ill edit it in as an option :)
 
You can change the name of the title by going to edit then click on advanced options. Also shouldn't life orb get a mention in the item slot. Maybe slash it with expert belt.

Thanks :)
Though I find Life Orb removes too much of Lanturns bulk. However, I will put it on
 
then he should probably rename this set "Specially Bulky Agility". BTW, Swellow's Guts Facade OHKOs you. You should put in 88 Spe EVs as another option so as to outspeed it after an Agility... You should also show some calcs to display the effectiveness of special bulk over the Offensive Agility variant such as not being 2hko-ed by LO Moltres' Fire Blast after Stealth Rocks, supporter before sweeper, etc..

EDIT: There are no base 110s in UU. O_o. What's the point of the 24 Speed EVS at all?
 
I'm going to include a defensive spread in the AC of the Agility set in my completed Update (whenever I get around to it >_>). In my testing the more offensive one fared a lot better, since without speed Lanturn still gets wrecked by things like Sceptile and Swellow and it definitely doesn't have enough power to get through bulky offense without a boosting nature, Life Orb, and max SpA. Imo Agility should be used as an endgame sweeper and not some sort of weird tank thing.
 
What is "third attack?" Smogon does not advocate the use of nonexistent moves, sorry (and FlareBlitz is writing this set up already).
