Politoed @ Leftovers
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Toxic
- Ice Beam
- Haze
This is a rain starter. I put Haze because of Shuckle, Siglyph, swords dance Scizor, and boosting dragons like Garchomp.
Hitmontop (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature
IVs: 0 SAtk
- Rapid Spin
- Sucker Punch
- Mach Punch
- Fake Out
This is a rapid spinner. It can beat Alakazam with a Fake Out/Sucker Punch combo and nearly beat Starmie and Latios with the same combo. It does over half to Terrakion with a single Mach Punch.
Scizor @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 SAtk
- Bullet Punch
- Superpower
- U-turn
- Pursuit
This is a lead. It can surprise many leads. U-Turn outspeeds and OHKOs Starmie, Latios, Alakazam, Celebi, and Azelf, and does 90% damage to Hydreigon. Superpower OHKO's Lucario. Pursuit does 80% - 90% on Gengar.
Dragonite @ Leftovers
Trait: Multiscale
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature
- ExtremeSpeed
- Dragon Claw
- Thunder
- Hurricane
With full special attack investment, attack and special attack are equal. Hurricane is the most powerful move, OHKOing Toxicroak, Breloom, and Conkeldurr. However, this set relies on Celebi's Nasty Plot/Baton Pass Combo in order to achieve a sweep. ExtremeSpeed is for threats which Hurricane, Thunder, and Dragon Claw fail to get rid of. However, I rarely use Dragon Claw and I can only 3HKO a specially defensive Ferrothorn with Hurricane.
Celebi @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 220 SDef / 36 Spd
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Baton Pass
- Leech Seed
- Recover
This is a support set. It is meant to take hits from Thundurus-T and Magnezone. It is also physically bulky because it only takes 40% from Infernape's Flare Blitz in the rain. Leech Seed can drain Blissey's health, which benefits other team members greatly. Baton Pass also insures a safe switch from Scizor and Tyrannitar's pursuit (since it can outspeed both if they are not scarfed).
Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Trait: Hydration
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Rest
- Heal Bell
- Scald
- Acid Armor
This is a hydration Vaporeon. Despite being specially defensive, it can take physical hits with Acid Armor boosts. An unboosted Outrage from Salamence does ~65% damage. In a 1v1 scenario, if Vaporeon uses Acid Armor the turn Salamence uses Outrage, then on the second turn, Vaporeon can go from <10% (due to the second Outrage) to 100% with Rest. After 1 Acid Armor boost, defense and special defense are the same. I once stalled out a Ferrothorn with Power Whip using this set. I was at +6 from Acid Armor, and I had burned the Ferrothorn with scald. The Ferrothorn even had Leech Seed to drain me. However, this set is walled by Jellicent and Toxicroak. To solve that problem, I go into Politoed/Celebi and use Toxic/Leech Seed. I can then stall out both of them with Rest and Acid Armor.
