Not open for further replies.
Hi C&C, this is my first try but any comment is welcome.

[SET]
Shaymin
Occa Berry
Modest
- Seed Flare
- Earth Power
- Psychic / Air Slash
- Quick Attack
80 HP / 252 SpA / 176 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
While Celebi also can be a good lead for setting up SR and scouting with U-turn, Shaymin is a better Anti-Lead and sweeper.
- shaymin has Seed Flare, doesn't lower SpA
- Quick Attack for finishing Focus Sashers
- No pursuit weakness, helps against T-tar
Can defeat most leads:

Azelf and Jirachi
: win if they trick or SR or Taunt (yeah some do)
Seed Flare and Quick Attack has a good chance to KO Azelf, Jirachi just EP. U-turn does alot damage but less than it does to Celebi

Heatran and Infernape
: Heatran just EP and live with Occa, Infernape just EP once and it will need to chose: lay SR or finish Shaymin, for the latter switch switch to Priority

Metagross: EP switch to Ghost for Explosion.

T-tar: Seed Flare and scout its moveset, if its faster = scarf and just kill it of, slower kill it to off.

Swampert and Hippo: Seed Flare easy KO

Roserade and Smeargle: Air Slash, take sleep switch to Priority

Machamp: Air Slash or Psychic but while Psychic always 2KOS Air Slash will need to flinch ( just no 2KO: 41% - 47%)


[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
Team options: Priority to take out Azelf, Jirachi, Roserade and Smeargle like Scizor or Vaccuum Wave Infernape/ Lucario ( who also has Extremespeed)
A ghost to block random Explosions.
Hidden Power can be used, Ice for Dragons and Gliscor, Fire for Forretress, Scizor, Grasses and other mons.
Leftovers for Recovery and Life Orb to secure the 2KO on Machamp but Occa lets you beat Heatran and Ape.
Recover can be used but you will lose coverage on alot of things.
The EV's lets you outspeed lead Lucario and everything below that.
Modest allows must of previous KO's and 2KO's, Timid can be used but you won't outspeed anything important that you can beat.
Can be used as a mid-game sweeper if needed.

If I did something wrong tell me plz, its my first try and its a really good lead.
 
Yeah, sorry Maugoross, this has already been suggested and turned down before. It's a decent set imo, but just not quite up to par with what we expect of sets on-site. I'm locking this, but I am looking forward to contributions from you in the future!
