In need of a special attacker with high speed?

I been playing through Sun a second time and unlike my first save, I have been focusing much of my attention to filling the pokedex. Beacuse of this I haven’t really bothered spending time to catch and train a full team. It takes longer than it would for most as I like to have perfect Nature and EVs, and therefore I only got two pokemom: Tsareena and Incineroar.

Now my problem is that I feel like I atleast need a good special attacker with a bit more that average speed aswell. But I cant decide which Pokemon I should use, altough I have considered the following: Espeon, Raichu (alolan) and Milotic (even though it doesn’t have great speed).

I not sure if it’s to much to ask, but I would very much enjoy a couple of opinions of what Pokemon I could use. And even though I am sure I’m asking to much now, maybe even give me a recommended list of moves, nature and EVs?

Please :)

Hey lil' Gible XDIm sure you have the answers you need and are fine as is but I’m sure you wouldn’t mind another lil' suggestion !Here is the Moveset I have on my Alolan Raichu! Hope it helps :) He really is a great Pokemon when you look into it!

Alolan RaichuAbility: Surge SurferEVs:252 Sp.A, 252 Speed, 4 DefModest Nature (+Sp.A, -Atk)-Electric Terrain-Thunderbolt-Hidden Power (Ice)-psychic

Electric Terrain, Helps Raichu in so many ways and angles. Not only does it power up its Thunderbolt, but it also doubles your speed. Pokemon that out speed may now be much slower than you and thats when you go for a massive hit on the Pokemon. Focus sash also allows it to survive a single turn to set up that electric terrain and attack afterwards. However raichu is vulnerable to priority moves like a simple bullet punch from a metagross or a lucario or even a multi hit move from Alolan Marowak and etc. And also Fake out!

ThunderboltGains STAB, Electric Terrain boost, and just great power in all.

Hidden Power(Ice), Great Coverage against ground, grass, or dragon types who want to resist you.

Psychic, STAB and coverage

Things to look for:Alolan Marowakis a HUGE threat to this Pokemon. Not only does it have a ground multi-hit move, but all your moves have either no effect cuz of marowak’s lighting rod or resistance. Also you may want to look out for Pokemon that usually have priority moves likelycanrocorMimikyuthat can knock you out right after your focus sash is used.

Okay here is a list I think is the best I got.

Sky form Shaymin: item: king’s Rock.Ev training: 6 HP 252 speed 252 sp.attack.Nature: Timid.Move set: Air Slash (most important move), Energy Ball, Dazzling Gleam and Protect.

Jolteon: Item: Air Balloon.Ev training same as Shaymin.Nature: Timid.Move set: Thunder, Thunderbolt, Volt Switch and shadow ball.

Greninja: Item: Focus Sash.Ev training same as Shaymin.Nature: Timid.Move set: Ice beam, U-turn, Night Slash and Scald.

Gengar: Item: Focus-sash.Ev training: same for all Pokemons up.Nature: Timid too.Move set: Sucker Punch, Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, Destiny Bond.

Hope it helped.

I might as well post my own thoughts here. I think the best fast special attackers are Staryu and Salandit.

SalanditAvailability: Early at Wela Volcano Park. However, only female Salandit can evolve and they are rare.Stats: Salandit and Salazzle have great Speed and Special Attack. However, their defenses are fragile and their Attack is mediocre.Typing: Poison/Fire hits most of the game for at least neutral damage. Defensively, Salandit has good resistances to Fighting, Fire, Grass and Bug, but has a crippling weakness to Ground and Water.Movepool: Decent. Salandit comes with Smog and Ember; however, Venoshock can be bought as an upgrade on Smog in Konikoni City. Sludge Bomb is available on Ula’ula Island in Po Town and Sludge Wave can be bought in Seafolk Town. Salandit will have to make do with Flame Burst for most of the game as its best Fire-type level-up move comes late in the form of Flamethrower. However, Fire Blast can be bought as a replacement. Salazzle also gets Nasty Plot, Dragon Rage and Dragon Pulse via level-up to aid its coverage. Firium Z can be used to boost Flame Burst’s power.Major Battles: Salandit can be used almost immediately vs. Totem Lurantis and the ally Castform’s sun will boost its moves. Salandit loses to Olivia but can beat Totem Vikavolt and Mimikyu. Nanu is a neutral matchup due to his Krokorok. Salazzle loses to Hapu and struggles to damage Totem Kommo-o without a boost. Salazzle fears Lusamine’s Milotic but can beat the rest of her Pokemon. Guzma’s Golisopod can be threatening if it gets off an attack, but the rest of his team are fodder for Salazzle. Against the Elite Four, Salazzle loses to Olivia and Hala’s Poliwrath and matches up neutrally against the rest. Salazzle can beat Kukui’s Ninetales, Decidueye, and Magnezone but loses to everything else.Additional Notes: Although this is slightly inefficient, using a male Pokemon with Cute Charm, such as Igglybuff from Route 4, can aid in finding female Salandit. Be ready for a slight drop in power after Akala Island as neither of its STAB moves are strong, but Sludge Bomb will remedy this.
