Generation VI

Girafarig @ Twisted Spoon / Mind PlateAbility: Inner FocusEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature-Psychic-Agility-Calm Mind-Baton Pass

Girafarig (M) @ Power HerbAbility: Inner FocusEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeModest Nature- Psychic- Razor Wind- Recycle / Hidden Power [Ice]- Thunderbolt

Special sweeper.STAB Razor Wind, with Recycle to use it again, or Hidden Power [Ice] and Thunderbolt for Bolt-beam. Psychic provides STAB.

I’ve got a couple sets, the first of which I ended up replacing with the second, but they’re both viable:

Girafarig #1 (Baton Passer)

Girafarig @ White HerbAbility: Sap SipperEVs: 252 HP / 252 SpeJolly / Timid Nature-Substitute-Baton Pass-Recycle-Psych Up

To clarify, I used this set in ORAS with a copy of the team of the triples Battle Chatelaine. It didn’t work especially well, but I was trying to not just use a special/sweeping set that’s so common. I ended up changing it to the one below.

Girafarig #2 (Flinching,Choice BandedBaton Passer)

Girafarig @ Choice BandAbility: Sap SipperEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature-Stomp-Zen Headbutt-Trick-Baton Pass

Definitely an overlooked Pokémon. I always liked how it looked.

Here’s a set I enjoy. It’s a reasonably bulky Pokémon with decent overall stats.

A Nasty Plot set for Girafarig despite it being outclassed by other Nasty Plot sweepers. Nasty Plot is to boost your special attack by 2 stages. Psychic is for STAB. Psyshock can be used so you can hit special walls. Shadow Ball provides coverage against opposing psychic types. HP Fighting is coverage against steel and dark types.
