Timid Nature

Substitute
Shadow ball
Focus blast
Hypnosis

I don't want gengar to be a defensive pokemon, plus its defences stink, so I'll replace Substitute for Thunderbolt. Hypnosis is OK, but I should replace it due to low accuraccy. And what is a SUB special sweeper? so remember: I need a Hypnosis replacement, and a sub-spc. sweep def.

A sub special sweeper is a pokemon that sets up a substitute to keep it safe and then sweeps using its special attack stat.
Basically, the Gengar puts the pokemon to sleep, sets up a substitute then goes on a rampage.
Just look through this site to find the best ones for your specific pokemon:

If you're feeling creative, make one of your own, although it can sometimes be a bit hit and miss as to whether your set works or not.

Garchomps easy.

@52 Attack 252 speed
Earthquake
Crunch
Dragon Claw/ Dragon rush
Dragon Dance/ Surf

Pretty basic garchomp. Earthquake as main hit, dragon dance for stats boost,
Dragon Claw for accuracy, rush for strength.
I am pretty sure that it can learn surf, which would be very funny to put on it.


P.S. I am looking for a squirtke and a kabuto. Willing to trade one shiny for the pair.

Actually, you shouldn't put surf on garchomp instead of DD. DD a much better choice because garchomp needs a huge boost to easily sweep through the likes of milotic and blissey.

I know, I just thought it would be funny.

Floatingmagictree: I'll go with Substitute on Gengar, but I still distrust Hypnosis, and I'll replace it with T-bolt. Gengar has enough SpAttack to still to tons of damage from behind the Substitute, even without the opponent sleeping. Gallade will be hard, he needs Ice Punch to kill flyers, and Night Slash to kill Ghosts, but I also want Psycho Cut for STAB. Close Combat will be alot easier if I combine it with Swords Dance, but that's five moves, and I'll need help deciding which to dispose of. Staraptor is pretty good, but 2 recoiling moves are bad. Also, one subsweeper is enough, and don't suggest tank for him, as Magnezone will be my tank, due to the fact that Electric only doubles one of Steel's weaknesses, not add any, and you can't forget steel's resistances.

The Saint: Garchomp NEEDS a fire/fighting/rock move to destroy Ice types, and I might replace Crunch with Draco Meteor.

Remember: I still need Torterra and Magnezone ideas, so bring in those! Also, one thing for you to think about is that this team has a TON of immunities. (Ghost, Ground, Normal, Electric, Poison, and Fighting.
