Odd movesets that work

--- Quote from: ディック on July 20, 2013, 10:24 ---Set-up Altaria @ Sitrus Berry (might change this)

Nature: Careful
Evs: 252/0/0/0/252/4
-> Cotton guard
-> Outrage
-> Dragon Dance
-> Roost

Only Outrage is needed to attack, as only steel resists it. First use cotton guard twice, then use dragon dance as long as you can afford to, roosting when necessary. Finally use outrage.

This idea has massive move-slot syndrome. As it is it's very vulnerable to being burned, which mean you'll have to switch out and lose your boosts (Natural Cure removes the burn). It needs a move like Substitute or Heal Bell, but you can't go without Cotton Guard, as it's the crux of the set. A better moveset in my opinion would be:

Altaria @ Leftovers
{Natural Cure}
Careful Nature
252HP / 252SpD / 6Spe
- Cotton Guard
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Substitute / Roost / Heal Bell

Cotton Guard for the defence boosts means you don't need any Defensive EVs, leaving you free to max our HP and Special Defense. Dragon Dance for setting up and Outrage for smashing everything in sight. Only resistant type is Steel, which will still probably take a lot from a +6 Outrage (need damage calcs but cba to do any). Substitute would probably be the best choice after you get a Cotton Guard up, probably better than Roost because while you lose the instant healing, you gain status immunity on top of maxed out Defences. Roost is an option obviously if you have some other way to deal with status other than Heal Bell, which means this Pokemon can double as a cleric.

Haven't posted in Team Building in so long, so not sure how good those sets will be.
