Kyurem-B @ Choice ScarfTrait: Teravolt

EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP

Jolly Nature

This monster has got to be my favorite sweeper of all time. I chose it because it can play many roles. It can punch holes in the opponent’s team with it’s massive 170 Base Attack Stat. It can revenge kill non-Scarfed Pokemon. And it can clean up late game.TheChoice Scarfgives a much needed speed boost to help it defeat certain Pokemon that would otherwise KO it.Outrageis your main STAB and does huge damage even without a power boosting item, and can clean up weakened teams.Fusion Boltis a secondary STAB and hits Water and Flying types (DIE SKARMORY! :D) harder than it’s Dragon STABs.Ice Beamis extremely helpful to take down walls who would otherwise tank all its attacks, such as Gliscor, Landorus-T and Hippowdon.Dragon Clawcan take down weakened foes when a Steel type or Physical Wall is still present on the opponent’s team and you don’t want to get locked onto Outrage.

Latios @ Choice SpecsTrait: Levitate

EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef

Timid Nature

Latios has been a wall breaker on most of my recent teams, and with good reason. He has a huge 130 Special Attack coupled with 110 Speed, and an extensive movepool, the exact qualities that a Pokemon who can plow through teams has. What’s not to like?TheChoice Specsmake Latios the wall breaker that that is so dangerous, by boosting its already big Special Attack.Draco Meteoris destruction by the click of a button. It’s STAB and destroys nearly anything, bar pink blobs and Steel types.Psyshockis a secondary STAB providing coverage and a weapon against those evil pink blobs.Surfdoes great damage (2HKO) to T-Tars trying to trap you with Pursuit, and gets pseudo-STAB in the ever so present Rain.Hidden Power [Fire]is your only chance against Ferrothorn, and is usually worth it even though it is outrun by other base 110s. Trick is an option in the last slot if it seems appealing to you, but I prefer blasting through walls rather than crippling them. :P

As someone who likes using HO and sweeper Pokemon, it’s about time that I post on this thread. I’ll be posting Pokemon who are good sweepers for the following formats: NU, National Dex UU, and National Dex Monotype. Note that these sets posted are used in Gen 9 formats.

Flygon @ Loaded DiceAbility: LevitateTera Type: Steel / GhostEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Dragon Dance- Earthquake- Scale Shot- Throat Chop

I’ll start off the NU section with the king of the tier (at the time this post was posted), Flygon!! With Dragon Dance and Loaded Dice Scale Shot, Flygon can rack up speed boosts to make Flygon unable to be revenge killed as easily. Loaded Dice Scale Shot Flygon can basically win games if your opponent leads off with Galvantula if they’re using a Sticky Web team, as you Dragon Dance turn 1, then use Scale Shot. Throat Chop allows Flygon to be able to hit Bronzong super effectively, which can create funny situations if you use Tera Ghost on Flygon. Throat Chop is also useful to make Sylveon and Scream Tail setup fodder. Tera Steel lets Flygon resist Dragon, Fairy, and Ice moves, while Tera Ghost is useful for the Bronzong matchup and becoming immune to Mach Punch while resisting First Impression.

Scyther @ EvioliteAbility: TechnicianTera Type: ElectricEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Swords Dance- Dual Wingbeat- Close Combat- Trailblaze

Next up, Scyther! Scyther is a scary sweeper on the Cinccino HO teams used in Gen 9 NU, as it can setup while having good bulk with Eviolite. With Technician boosted Trailblaze and Dual Wingbeat, Scyther becomes a demon once it gets off a Swords Dance boost and speed boost(s) from Trailblaze, making it harder to revenge kill. Close Combat lets Scyther smack Steel-types such as Registeel, Copperajah, and Pokemon who use Tera Steel, as well as Incineroar for super effective damage. Tera Electric lets Scyther resist Kilowattrel’s STABs and become immune to paralysis.

Minior-Indigo @ White HerbAbility: Shields DownTera Type: GhostEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeAdamant NatureIVs: 30 HP- Substitute- Shell Smash- Acrobatics- Earthquake / Tera Blast

This one is one of my favorite sweepers to use in Gen 9 NU, as I find it to be the best Shell Smash sweeper on non Sticky Web HO teams. Once it gets off the Shell Smash boosts and reaches 50% HP or below, Minior can sweep as long as their isn’t anything to stop it on the opposing team. Substitute helps Minior activate Shields Down, and can help with not being revenge killed as easily as well as dodge status once it reaches 50% HP. Acrobatics is the STAB move due to it being powerful once Minior consumes White Herb. Earthquake provides useful coverage against Pokemon such as Incineroar, Klefki, Registeel, Copperajah, and Overqwil. You can also consider Tera Blast Ghost if you hate Bronzong. Tera Ghost lets Minior become immune to Fighting moves, which is useful against Choice locked Pokemon as well as Mach Punch Breloom. 30 HP IVs make Minior’s HP divisible by 4, meaning you need 2 Substitutes to activate Shields Down, or 1 if Stealth Rock is on your side.Toxtricity @ Throat SprayAbility: Punk RockTera Type: NormalEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeModest NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Shift Gear- Boomburst- Overdrive- Sludge Wave

Toxtricity is a fun sweeper for HO teams, being able to wear down Steel-types for its teammates if it doesn’t win. Use Shift Gear to boost speed, using either Boomburst or Overdrive to activate Throat Spray, then watch Pokemon drop to Boomburst (and Overdrive or Sludge Wave if needed). Tera Normal allows Toxtricity to BRING THE BOOM with Boomburst.

Aegislash @ Ghostium Z / Air Balloon / Spell TagAbility: Stance ChangeTera Type: SteelEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly / Adamant Nature- Swords Dance- Shadow Claw- Close Combat- Shadow Sneak

Starting off NatDex UU’s section is Aegislash. Aegislash utilizes its Shield form to setup Swords Dance, and hits hard once it activates its Blade form. Close Combat nails Dark- and Steel-types such as Ting-Lu, Tyranitar, Bisharp, Magnezone, and Excadrill. Shadow Sneak is used so Aegislash can deal damage to faster Pokemon, which is useful for revenge killing. Ghostium Z gives a one-time ghost move with Shadow Claw as the base move. Air Balloon is used to give Aegislash a temporary Ground immunity and is the usual item used on HO teams. Spell Tag is an option to boost the power of Shadow Claw and Shadow Sneak.

Azumarill @ Normalium Z / Sitrus BerryAbility: Huge PowerEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe or 92 HP / 252 Atk / 164 SpeAdamant Nature- Belly Drum- Aqua Jet- Play Rough- Liquidation / Knock Off / Return

Classic Belly Drum Azumarill set. Max out your attack stat, then hit hard and sweep/break through teams. Aqua Jet gives Azumarill a priority move to be able to hit faster Pokemon. Liquidation can be used for a powerful Water STAB, Knock Off can be used to remove items from checks, while Return can be used for a neutral move that is useful against Pokemon such as Mega Venusuar and Amoonguss. Normalium Z lets Azumarill use Z-Belly Drum, allowing it to fully restore its HP before it uses Belly Drum, which can potentially let you use Belly Drum twice in a game. Sitrus Berry can be used instead if you have another Pokemon holding a Z crystal. The second EV spead lets Azumarill have some bulk while outspeeding Skarmory that aren’t using speed EVs.

Celesteela @ Power HerbAbility: Beast BoostTera Type: SteelEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeModest NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Autotomize- Meteor Beam- Air Slash- Fire Blast / Flamethrower

Autosteela set. With Automize to boost its speed, Celesteela can pose quite a threat, being able to snowball through games thanks to Beast Boost giving it a Special Attack boost every time it knocks out a Pokemon. Power Herb Meteor Beam gives Celesteela a free Special Attack boost and is useful against Pokemon such as Iron Moth, Enamorus, Galarian Moltres, and Zeraora. Fire Blast melts Steel-types such as Skarmory, Aegislash, opposing Celesteela, Excadrill, and Magnezone super effectively, though you can use Flamethrower for a consistent Fire move.

Iron Moth @ Booster EnergyAbility: Quark DriveTera Type: FireEVs: 124 Def / 132 SpA / 252 SpeTimid NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Fiery Dance- Sludge Wave- Energy Ball- Substitute / Psychic / Morning Sun

Booster Energy: Speed Iron Moth is a fun late game sweeper that can snowball its way through games once its checks are weakened or knocked out. Fiery Dance’s 50% chance to boost Iron Moth’s special gives it snowballing potential, making it a scary sweeper. Energy Ball targets Water- and Ground-types such as Slowbro, Slowking, Hippowdon, and Gastrodon. Substitute lets Iron Moth dodge status conditions and be less vulnerable to revenge killers. Psychic can be used to hit Mega Venusuar harder as well as hitting opposing Iron Moth. Morning Sun can be used for HP recovery to make it last longer to clean up through weakened teams. The EV spread makes sure Iron Moth’s speed gets boosted when it uses its Booster Energy (provided Sticky Web isn’t on your side).

Ceruledge @ Focus SashAbility: Weak ArmorTera Type: FireEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Swords Dance- Poltergeist- Bitter Blade- Shadow Sneak

As cheesy as this Pokemon is,this Pokemon is a nice sweeper in National Dex Monotype, having a high attack stat, nice offensive STAB combination, and Weak Armor to boost its speed when it gets hit by a physical move. Poltergeist provides a powerful Ghost STAB to deal out a ton of damage once Ceruledge gets off a Swords Dance. Bitter Blade’s restoring HP can allow Ceruledge to get back to full HP, which is useful if it didn’t already consume its Focus Sash. Shadow Sneak provides a priority move, being useful if Ceruledge doesn’t get the speed boost from Weak Armor or a Pokemon wants to use a priority move to finish off Ceruledge. Focus Sash lets Ceruledge survive a non super effective multi hit move or a Mega Aerodactyl’s Dual Wingbeat. Ghostium Z can be an option for a one time nuke with Poltergeist as the base move, being useful against Pokemon who consumed their item or had their item removed.

Kommo-o @ Kommonium ZAbility: SoundproofTera Type: DragonEVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 SpeNaive Nature- Clanging Scales- Drain Punch / Close Combat- Flamethrower- Taunt / Vacuum Wave

Kommo-o is a scary sweeper once its checks are removed and it gets off the omniboost from Clangorous Soulblaze, being able to break through opposing Pokemon more easily. Drain Punch is the usual Fighting STAB of choice since it gives Kommo-o some HP recovery so it can last longer to break through teams. Flamethrower melts Steel-types such as Gholdengo, Skarmory, Celesteela, Corviknight, Forretress, and Scizor/Mega Scizor. Taunt stops defensive Pokemon from trying to cripple its sweep and is useful against bulkier teams. Close Combat and Vacuum Wave can be used over the Drain Punch and Taunt slots respectively. Close Combat providing a powerful Fighting STAB, while Vacuum Wave can pick off faster Pokemon even after Kommo-o gets the speed boost from Clangorous Soulblaze.

Iron Crown @ Weakness PolicyAbility: Quark DriveTera Type: SteelEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeModest NatureIVs: 20 Atk- Calm Mind- Agility- Stored Power- Tachyon Cutter

Fun sweeper to use on Screens HO teams. Gameplan is really simple. Agility to be able to outspeed faster Pokemon, use Calm Mind to boost your Special Attack and Special Defense, get hit by a super effective move while screens are up, the sweep with Stored Power if there’s no Dark type on the team. Tachyon Cutter lets Iron Crown hit Dark-types and is used over Focus Blast since you don’t miss and doesn’t leave Iron Crown walled by Mega Sableye.

Moltres-Galar @ Flyinium ZAbility: BerserkTera Type: DarkEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeModest NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Nasty Plot- Agility- Hurricane- Fiery Wrath

The final sweeper I’ll mention is another dual dance sweeper, Galarian Moltres. Boost your Special Attack with Nasty Plot, boost speed with Agility, then sweep through teams. This set likes Screens support to allow Galarian Moltres to setup more easily. Flyinium Z with Hurricane lets Galarian Moltres have a one time nuke to be able to break past checks such as Iron Hands, Ting-Lu, and Mega Diancie. The EV spread used is what Galarian Moltres uses on Dark teams. Flying teams can also use dual dance Galarian Moltres, although it uses this EV spread: EVs: 64 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 188 Spe (This EV spread gives Galarian Moltres enough speed to outspeed Mega Swampert in rain after it gets off an Agility)

Sooo, there you have it! Enjoy using these sweepers! :)

Dragonite is my favorite sweeper as it can get a Dragon Dance up oh so easily with it’s Multiscale ability, which almost basically gives it a free turn to do whatever it wants at full health.

Dragonite @ LeftoversTrait: MultiscaleEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeAdamant Nature (+Atk, - SpA)- Dragon Claw- Fire Punch- Earthquake / ExtremeSpeed / Roost- Dragon Dance

Dragon Dance is what makes D’Nite sweeper material. Dragon Claw is a decent STAB attack that actually piles on good chunk of damage after just one DD. Fire Punch can nail Ferrothorn. Earthquake is for additional coverage against foes like Heatran while ExtremeSpeed can hit other priority users you might be afraid of. Roost just basically allows you to try and go for another free DD.

Scarflosion

Typhlosion @ Choice ScarfTrait: BlazeEVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HPTimid Nature- Eruption- Flamethrower- Focus Blast- Hidden Power [Grass]

Scarfruption Hitsalotof Pokémon Hard, Flamethrower for when you Switch in at Low HP, HP GRass is coverage, and Focus Blast is just some Raw Power

Bandcham

Medicham @ Choice BandTrait: Pure PowerEVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDefJolly Nature- Hi Jump Kick- Ice Punch- ThunderPunch- Psycho Cut

Banded Hi Jump Kick Hitsalotof Pokemon hard, You’ve got You BoltBeam Coverage, and Psycho Cut For a Little More Coverage.

Extremekiller Arceus

Arceus @ Silk ScarfTrait: MultitypeEVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDefAdamant Nature- ExtremeSpeed- Swords Dance- Shadow Claw- Anything you want

Arceus hitsalotof Pokemon Super Hard with Extremespeed, STAB and made stronger with Silk Scarf,shadow claw is for coverage and whatever you like in the last lost, I’m not an expert with an Arceus so idk what toput, maybe recover?

[and btw the alot is better than you at everything : ]]4

Lilligant @ Lum BerryAbility: Chlorophyll (OU)/ Own Tempo (UU & RU)EVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HPNature: Modest/ Timid- Sleep Powder- Quiver Dance/ Growth- HP Fire- Giga Drain

Lilligant is an underrated Sun sweeper. Okay she’s frail, but so is Sawsbuck and that seems to be getting more attention than she is, though everything’s underrated compared to Venusaur. Growth is actually better in the sun, since it’s x2 boost, but Quiver Dance is brilliant as well, especially for UU and RU. HP Fire to deal with Bugs, Steel and other Grass types.

I don’t like the Own Tempo + Petal Dance combination, solely because Petal Dance locks you in for 3 turns, with or without the confusion at the end.

Weavile @ Choice BandAbility: PressureEVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HPNature: Jolly- Ice Shard- Ice Punch- Night Slash/ Pursuit- Low Kick

Not as anti-meta-smashing as Mamoswine, but Weavile is the definition of a glass cannon. Absolutely brilliant for revenge scarf Flygon, frail Azelf & Mismagius, Shaymin, Zapdos etc., Weavile is a great late game clean up in UU. Stealth Rock weakness means some spin support is needed though.

Volcarona @ Life Orb/ Lum Berry/ LeftoversAbility: Flame BodyEVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HPNature: Modest- Quiver Dance- Bug Buzz/ Giga Drain- Hurricane- Fiery Dance

Come rain wind or shine, Volcarona is still sweeping. After a few Quiver Dances, it can manage to deal good fire damage even in rain, with its STAB and stat boosts. A fire move is pretty much needed to deal with common walls like Jirachi, Skarmory, Ferrothorn and Forretress. One Quiver Dance can also allow it to outspeed Scarfed Terrakion.

hmm..One of the best sweepers of all time seems to has been forgotten ;-;Anyways I should say that one if my favorite sweepers should be

Trait: MoxieEVs:64 Atk / 192 SpA / 252 SpeNaive Nature- Draco Meteor- Outrage- Fire Blast- Earthquake

Well if you would want to know why I chose him as one of my most favorite sweepers then I only have one thing to say, Mixmence. He has been granted a great Special Attack and Attack stat enabling him to cause terror both to Special as Physical walls.The Life Orb’smain purpose is to power-up his moves to a nice level whereasMoxiewill continue to make every KO boost the attack stat meaning that if you are not scarfed, don’t switch-in.Draco Meteoris that move that many physical walls fear as powered by the Life Orb and assuming that it is a STAB move, that will hurt…a lot, not toforget other can’t switch in if you are threatening with such devastating move.Fire Blastis the move that Salamence will most likely need the most if it’s intentions are not to be walled to death. Fire Blast will roost any Scizor that thinks it is always safe to switch into Salamence and those Ferrothorn that seem to like paralyzing it.Outragea move that the “Happy egg sisters” don’t seem to like and for a good reason. A powerful STAB move that will eliminate everything that isn’t faster then it. After a few Moxie boosts….gg. Last in the moveslot but a terror that many Pokemon have feared and will probably always fear..Earthquake. Not a STAB move but that raw power is brutal. All but grass, levitating and flying Pokemon can escape this powerful move. The rest are doomed to be obliterated in less then 3 turns (in very bulky cases). After a few Moxie boosts, let’s make that 1 turn :)

Trait: JustifiedEVs:4 SpD / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Surf- Icy Wind- Hidden Power Bug- Secret Sword

Tbh the main reason why Keldeo made it so high as one of my favorite sweepers is because he is a water type, jk. This young stallion should be the best of not the best Special Sweepers in the OU tier as a base 129 Special Attack stat should not be taken lightly.Surfis it’s primary STAB move and the one who will be killing most Pokemon as not many can take more then 2 Surfs.Icy Wind, not a very impressive base power but this move is deadlier then it looks as it enables Keldeo to slow down any threat whiles take a chunk out of the Dragon’s HP.Hidden Power Bug, what Celebi? Well, the main reason it is in your moveset is to take down Celebi as it forms a major threat to Keldeo in every way, from paralyzing to eliminating it with Leaf Storm/Giga Drain and Psychic. Well this is no more. With Hidden Power bug, there is nothing such as a Celebi. Keldeo is not only an excellent special sweeper but it is also a great butcher. You can get free Tyranitar and Hydreigon pieces at his butcher shop. How does he do this?Secret Sword. Secret Sword is a very powerful fighting type move and since it is a STAB special type move, it will hurt a lot when fired of by a Keldeo. Boosted by the Expert Belt, all Hydreigon will faint unless you are speaking of a Max HP and Max Special defense Hydreigon which is often never the case. However Tyranitar in sand has a very high Special Defense but even he willl be 2HKO’d by it

Trait: Serene GraceEVs: 56 Atk / 252 SpA / 200 SpeNaive Nature- Relic Song- Close Combat- Thunder / Thunderbolt- Psychic / Hidden Power Ice

You know the saying “It is rude to beat a lady” well, if you would want to stay alive, I would suggest that you get rid of them the moment you see them on stage because it is going to be the last performance you will ever see, It is literary double faced for when one hears the ancient song that comes out of her mouth, one has met the end of life as one knows it.This should be the most disturbing feature of Meloetta as when she changes forms there is a vast chance that you will fall into deep slumber. When she is in her Aria-form she has a base 128 special attack and special defense, good luck breaking that with a bug buzz. In this formRelic Songwill be doing the most damage as it is a STAB move and a special move. For it’s base power, Relic Song can do a vast amount of damage.ThunderandThunderboltwill also be hitting so many Pokemon so hard and boosted by Serene grace, paralysis usually follows.Psychic or Hidden Power Iceboth very powerful moves that will seriously dent opponents. Hidden Power Ice is mainly to hit the Dominating Dragon types.Close Combatseems to be the only move that Pirouette-Meloetta can use, however that is the only move it needs to sweep through teams because in this form it has a base 128 Attack and Speed Stat, isn’t that just lovely, it is fast enough to outspeed any unscarfed Pokemon as well as KO most of the tier with one powerful Close Combat

Bisharp @ Lum BerryTrait: Inner FocusEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeAdamant Nature~ Swords Dance~ Sucker Punch~ Low Kick~ Night SlashPlease who doesn’t love a good Bisharp? :P jksSwords Dance for setup, Sucker Punch to bypass crappy speed, Low Kick to beat steel types, Night Slash for a stronger STAB against slower pokes.

Alakazam @ Life OrbTrait: Magic GuardEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature~ Psyshock~ Focus Blast~ Signal Beam~ SubstituteFree life orb boost? Yes please! :D Substitute provides a buffer against revenge killers. Psyshock to get around the ever annoying pink blobs, Focus Blast for steel types and Signal Beam to get those grass types :D

I Can’t belive it! No one has answered Terrakion!

Terrakion @ Choice ScarfTrait: JustifiedEVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDefAdamant Nature- Close Combat- Stone Edge- X-Scissor- Sacred Sword

Many of the same factors that make Terrakion an amazing Choice Band user lend themselves to making Terrakion one of the best Choice Scarf users in the game as well. Its blazing Speed allows it to safely revenge kill some of the biggest threats in the game. The moves are self-explanatory if you read the Choice Band set. Close Combat and Stone Edge are your two powerful STAB moves and X-Scissor covers bulky Psychic-types. The fourth slot is, once again, essentially useless, so run whatever you feel like. Rock Slide is the first option merely because its ability to flinch can be useful in a pinch, while other options such as Earthquake provide redundant coverage.

Well I know that this is gonna sound kinda dumb but butterfree, dustox and beautifly. The reason for these are the perfect movesetButterfree / bueatyflyQuiver danceSubstitute / sleep powderGiga drainBugg buzz

DustoxQuiver danceSubstitute / free slot for whateverGiga drainBug buzz

Now this seems a bit farfeched but I managed to sweep a team with ONE butterfree… even though it is 100000% true no one bealives me still XDAnyway. Hope this helped

Absol @ life orbTrait: Super LuckEVs: 252 Atk/ 4 HP/ 252 SpeNature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)- Sucker Punch- Night Slash- Super Power- Megahorn

Absol is always a potent threat in RU because of that stellar attack stat. with sucker punch as a form of priority, this thing is always dangerous. Note that you could also run a similar choice scarf set. I’m not going to pretend that this thing doesn’t have its drawbacks, as its speed holds it back.

Darmanitan @ Choice ScarfTrait: Sheer ForceEVs: 252 Atk/ 4 HP/ 252 SpeNature: Jolly (+Atk, -SpA)- Flare Blitz- Rock Slide- SuperPower- U-turn

I’m just gonna come out and say it right now, anyone who underestimates darmanitan, and doesn’t prepare for it, is doomed. With Sheer force boosts and a monsterous attack stat, it is a force to be reckoned with. honestly, how has nobody posted this?

Cloyster @ Focus SashTrait: Skill LinkEVs: 252 Atk/ 4 HP/ 252 SpeNature: Jolly (+Spe, -SpA)- Icicle Spear- Shell Smash- Rock Blast- Razor Shell

Again how is this not posted? not only does this appear often, but teams without a counter are doomed. simple as that.

Cincinno @ life OrbTrait: Skill LinkEVs: 252 Atk/ 4 Spe/ 252 SpeNature: Jolly (+Atk, -Spe)- Tail Slap- Bullet seed- Rock Blast- Aqua Tail

This is the cutest sweeper there is. Just because it’s cute doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. with each attack being 125 Atk, and outspeeding most of the tier, it is a force to be reckoned with.

Chandelure @ Choice Scarf/ Choice specsTrait: Flash FireEVs: 4 HP/ 252 SpA/ 252 SpeNature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk) / Modest (+SpA, -Atk)- Shadow Ball- Fire Blast- Energy Ball- Trick

Everyone has been swept by a chandelure at least once, and it’s often this one. Choice specs for extra power or scarf for speed.

Hitmonlee @ Normal GemTrait: UnburdenEVs: 252 Atk/ 4 HP/ 252 SpeNature: Adamant ( +Atk, -SpA)- Fake Out- Earthquake- Hi Jump Kick- Stone Edge

Undoubtedly one of the best late game sweepers in RU. That Boost from Unburden allows it to outspeed all of the tier non-boosted. Even accelgor. With nothing in it’s way, it is very hard to stop.

There’s a distinct lack of UU Pokemon here. So here I am, bringing you some of the most prominent sweepers in UU.Ambipom @ Normal GemTrait: TechnicianEVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HPJolly Nature- Fake Out- Low Sweep- U-turn- Shadow Claw/AcrobaticsScout, then sweep a little.Arcanine @ Choice BandTrait: Flash FireEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 SpdAdamant Nature- Flare Blitz- Wild Charge- ExtremeSpeed- CrunchProtects against Fire in a tier filled with Fire, yay!

Arbok @Choice BandEVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpdAdamant NatureAbility: Intimidate-Gunk Shot-Seed Bomb-Earthquake-Fire Fang/Ice Fang/Switcheroo

The more offensive set for Arbok, since its physical movepool is prettydiverse. Seed Bomb is there for Ground types and Ice Fang can be usedfor Gliscor. Switcheroo can mess up anything trying wall you.

This moveset works exactly the same way as Pikachu’s set above. Raichu’sSpecial Attack won’t reach the same heights as Pikachu’s, however Raichuis faster and can use items like Air Balloon to give it a Ground immunitywhich can help it switch in more easily.

———————-[SANDSLASH]————————-Type: GroundAbility: Sand Veil / Sand Rush (Dream World)Base Stats: 75 HP / 100 Atk / 110 Def / 45 SAtk / 55 SDef / 65 SpdPros: Good Attack and DefenseCons: Limited movepool, outclassed by many other Ground types

Sandslash @Life OrbEVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpdAdamant/Jolly NatureAbility: Sand Rush-Earthquake-Stone Edge-X-Scissor/Brick Break-Swords Dance

It’s a poor man’s Excadrill, but at least it isn’t weak to Mach Punch orEarthquake. Sandslash doesn’t have many moves that make it stand out.X-Scissor is for Grass-types, while Brick Break hits any Steel or Rocktype holding an Air Balloon.

———————-[NIDOKING]————————–Type: Ground/PoisonAbility: Poison Point/Rivalry/Sheer Force (Dream World)Base Stats: 81 HP / 92 Atk / 77 Def / 85 SAtk / 75 SDef / 85 SpdPros: Diverse movepool, good offensive statsCons: Rather frail with weaknesses to common types

Nidoking @Life Orb/Choice ScarfEVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SpdTimid NatureAbility: Sheer Force-Earth Power-Flamethrower/Fire Blast-Thunderbolt-Ice Beam

With an impressive array of special moves, all boosted by 30% thanks to SheerForce, Nidoking can use a special sweeping moveset extremely well. Earth Powerhas 117 base power after Sheer Force and will hurt a wide variety of opponentsthat don’t resist it. Grass and Bugs are taken out with Flamethrower (or FireBlast) while Thunderbolt and Ice Beam deal with Flying types and have greatcoverage together.

———————-[NINETALES]————————-Type: FireAbility: Flash Fire/Drought (Dream World)Base Stats: 73 HP / 76 Atk / 75 Def / 81 SAtk / 100 SDef / 100 SpdPros: The only non-uber Pokemon with DroughtCons: Mediocre offenses, Stealth Rock weakness

Ninetales @Leftovers/Life OrbEVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SpdTimid NatureAbility: Drought-Nasty Plot-Flamethrower/Fire Blast-Energy Ball-Hidden Power [Ground]

With the awesome Drought ability, Water attacks will automatically be weakened.This gives you time to use Nasty Plot and sweep with your special moves.Energy Ball covers all of Ninetales’s weaknesses - Water, Rock, and Ground.Hidden Power Ground is for Heatran.

Ninetales @Leftovers252 HP / 6 SDef / 252 SpdTimid NatureAbility: Drought-Flamethrower-Toxic-Disable-Substitute

On a Sun team, Ninetales is your most important member so you don’t want itto go down easily. This defensive set allows Ninetales to act more as astaller. Use Substitute and when the opponent breaks it with an attack, useDisable to prevent its use. Then use Toxic and stall with more Substitutesuntil they faint from the poison or from Flamethrower.

Ninetales @Choice SpecsEVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SpdTimid NatureAbility: Drought-Overheat/Fire Blast-Energy Ball-Hidden Power [Ground]-Psyshock

Ninetales isn’t the best Choice Specs Fire-type sweeper, but it can certainlypull the job off. Overheat or Fire Blast should be used over Flamethrower forthe extra power. Choose Hidden Power Ground for Heatran. Psyshock for Fightingtypes and special walls.

Camerupt @ CameruptiteEVs: 252 SAtk, 252 Spe, 4 HPTrait: Solid Rock—–>Sheer ForceTimid/Modest Nature-Eruption-Earth Power-Hidden Power (Ice)-Ancient PowerTry it.A full-power Eruption with this thing once OHKOed a Sharpedo!

Here is a hitmonlee one

Ability: UnbrudenItem: Liechi BerryNature: JollyMoves:EndureReversalBlaze KickStone Edge/Rock Slide

EV’s252 Attack252 Speed4 Health

So first you use endure to get to 1 hp the hitmonlee eats the Liechi Berry which raises attack then its ability unburden activates because it lost its held item well not lost eaten then its speed doubles it base speed stat is 87 so its speed is now 174! which outspeeds alot of Pokemon then spam Reversel and DESTROY

There’s Kyruem-B, Victini and even Weavile, but no Lucario?! WHAT IS THIS?!Lucario @ Lucarionite (Playing before Gen 6? Then use E-Belt…)Ability: Steadfast ( Justified is a terrible HA in my opinion)Nature: Adamant/JollyEVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HPMoves:-Close Combat-Iron Tail-Swords Dance-Drain Punch

Lucario has average 70/70/70 bulk, with great attacking stats. With Lucario’s great Speed, you don’t have to use priority STAB, but you can use STAB with a higher base power, like with Iron Tail over Bullet Punch, which can be useful against Power Herb/Geomancy Xerneas, but Iron Tail has much better power, forfeiting accuracy. Swords Dance is to boost an already-threatening 110 (145 when Mega Lucario) Attack stat even higher. Drain Punch is mainly for recovery, but can also hit pretty hard, with a base power of 75. Close Combat hits with a power of 180 after STAB and 240 after Adaptability STAB. Drain Punch can be swapped for Shadow Claw or Crunch if Ghosts threaten you, but otherwise, keep it.

Hope this helps!

I didn’t see anySlakingsso here’s my moveset!

Slaking@Silk ScarfTrait: Truant

Evs:Sp. Def 252 Atk 252Nature:Careful-Brick Break-Play Rough-Yawn-Giga Impact

This is one of my favorite sweepers because it’s ability,Truantand its great stats and moves. TheGiga Impactis for its huge attack stat, since its a physical move and since truant, it doesn’t matter much about recharging.Play Roughfor any fighting types, which its weak to.Yawnis good for tough Pokemon that won’t die and are damaging you badly.Brick Breakto do damage and break screens, and to take care of rock and steel types thatGiga Impactcan’t take care of. Nature is Careful because I’m not using Sp. Atk and its Sp. Def is not good. Silk scarf is to power upGiga Impact. Please understand there is a tactic to defeat these, they can really get destroyed by protection.

Haxorus @ Focus SashTrait : Mold Breaker / UnnerveEV’s : 196 Atk, 252 Spe, 60 HPNature : Jolly- Dragon Dance- Dragon Claw- Poison Jab / Low Kick- Earthquake / Low Kick

With this set you can decide on either replacing Poison Jab or Earthquake with Low Kick. If you get rid of Earthquake, go with Unnerve. Also, Haxorus has the highest base attack of any Non-Legendary or Mega Evolved Dragon Pokemon.
