So, I've been running vivi as a lead on my mono flying and bug teams, and I gotta say, WOW! For starters:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-100450975
In this replay, vivillon as a lead destroys two pokemon on my opponents team (one through a pseudo-paraswag, sorry) and cripples two more of his pokemon, leaving him with only 2 useful pokes.
I run this set, but I have yet to try out any other, because I am most often reduced to my sash and he acts as my lead:
Vivillon @ Focus Sash
Ability: Compound Eyes
EVs: 252 Spd / 4 HP / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature
IVs: 2 Atk / 30 SAtk / 30 Spd
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Hurricane
- Sleep Powder
- Stun Spore
I don't like HP fire though. I ran it because of the common ferro/forre leads, but it's only a
3hko on ferro. I might just put bug buzz back to make IVs easier if I decide to make this in my pokemon Y.
More replays starring vivi:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-100375072 I should have hurricaned the talonflame
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-100445523 I should have put the smeargle to sleep, but then I might not have paralyzed the gliscor. People don't protect their gliscor first turn when they see vivi come out first lol
