Breloom @ life orb/choice band
Nature: adamant
Ability: TECHNICIAN
Moveset:
Spore/seed bomb
Bullet seed
mach punch
swords dance/force palm
Evs: 4HP/ 252 attack/ 252 speed
Someone has probably put a set out there like this one, but it probably was forgotten. This thing is a MONSTER. It acts like a scizor, but which better stabs. The movepool is very dependent upon what item you use. If you run it banded, then you get rid of swords dance and spore for force palm and seed bomb. Force palm get Tech. boost, so it ends up with a monstrous base 135 power with STAB. The paralysis hax is a nice touch and can act like a spore(move) if it occurs. Seed bomb is your good old physical grass attack. If you don't find seed bomb necessary, be creative.
The life orb set is my personal favorite. You use spore and SD. First, spore the opponent. Use SD and bring its attack stat to a 788. You then use the appropriate attack. Bullet seed got a 150% power boost this generation, and each little bullet seed gets a technician boost. In conclusion, you are launching 2-5 37.5 base power attacks WITHOUT STAB. So let's just say you launch 3 bullet seeds. 37.5 times three is 112.5, or 112. Add in stab, and you get a ridiculous base 168 power. Amazing. One BIG problem with the set is the fact that because it hasn't been released formally, you can't use it everywhere.
Did I mention this thing basically can murder ferrothorn? 50-75% to a 252Def/ 252 Sp.def spread
EV spread
Max speed/ max attack. That's it.
Checks or counters
Skarmory and bronzong are probably the best counters for the set. Due to their non-Steel types, the weakness to fighting is negated. But don't think that you can just send out skarmory and sit there. max defense/ max hp skarmory takes about 25% from mach punch, and max Sp.def one takes about 37% at 0 boosts.
Partners
Specially based pokemon with fire type attacks other than hidden power fire are the best partners. They knock skarmory around in seconds and are able to smash physically based walls. I highly recommend chandelure because of its addition to the FWG core as well as having excellent synergy with breloom, who covers its dark, water, ground, and rock problems in exchange for safety from the psychics and physical walls.
For those of you who don't have AR or a friend who can give you a female quick feet shroomish, I might be able to give you one. (Depends on whether I can change wifi so I can use my only DS, a DS ORIGINAL.
