Entei is soon to get flare blitz, a good physical STAB, so I though this set should be on the site:
(Note: this set won't be useful until Celebi, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune get thier moves.)
[Set]
-Flare Blitz
-Extreme Speed
-Iron Head / Howl / Stone Edge
-Iron Head / Howl / Stone Edge
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 252 Atk / 252 Speed / 4 HP
Item: Life Orb / Leftovers
Why this set should be on the site:
-Entei has always had the problem (alongside Flareon) of having a superior Atk, but a special move pool. By giving him Flare Blitz (courtesy of an event) Entei overcomes that problem
-Besides the obvious Flare Blitz, there is Extreme Speed to take care of fast frail pokemon.
-Then there is a pick 2 out of 3 senario:
1) Iron Head - hits opposing Rock types hard.
2)Howl - a +1 Atk isn't much, but coming off Entei's Atk, it is amazing. It is preffered that you pick this move.
3) Stone Edge - opposing fire and fliyng types meet their end (provided it hits). Asta la vista Moltres!
[Additional Comments]
Entei has to be Adamant since it comes from an event. Out of the items, The Life Orb is for damage, and the Leftovers boost survivability.
[Team Options]
Entei needs a pokemon that can get rid of Bulky Waters, Rampardos, Aggron, Tyranitar and pokemont like that. 3 pokemon instantly come to mind: Sceptile, Venasaur and Brelloom. If playing in UU Sceptile is a godsend. It can rip apart Milotic, Rampardos, and even OU threats such as Tyranitar, Vaporeon, Areodactyl, and Flygon if one wishes to take this to to OU. Venasaur is in a similar boat as Sceptile, except it cannot function too well in OU. If one wishes to use Sceptile, either a Swords Dance, Choice Specs, or Special Attacker work well. For Venasaur, Swords Dance and Specs both work. As for Brelloom in OU, any set will work, though prefferably Facade+Toxic Orb, or Spore+Punch.
[Counters]
As stated before, Bulky Waters work magic against Entei. So do Rock Types, Ground types, actually anything that can survive Entei's assualts and hit back with Super Effective. In the UU, Milotic poses sufficieant threat. So does Lapras and Lanturn. In OU, Vaporeon, Suicune, Swampert, Tentacruel, Tyranitar, Flygon, Aerodactyl, and Gliscor all can sponge attacks. Heatran can come in on any attack and use Earth Power.
