Special Sweet Sweeper

Inteleon @ Scope LensAbility: SniperEVs: 6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Snipe Shot / Scald- Ice Beam- Dark Pulse- Focus Energy

Sweet due to its abilitySniper. A great moveset for a Water type Pokemon with reliable and powerful STAB along withIce Beamto counter Grass and Dragon types.Dark Pulseis a great move for coverage and helpful with a high speed stat ofInteleon(further boosted due to Timid Nature and max EVs) as it can cause flinching.

The best part isFocus Energy.Focus Energyraises the Critical-Hit Ratio by 2 Stages. Adding 1 Stage boost in Critical-Hit Ratio fromScope Lensmakes it 3. From Gen VI onwards, a 3-Stage boost in Critical-Hit Ratio means a guaranteed critical hit which deals2.25xdamage due to the abilitySniper. This one is meant to sweep sweetly!

Inteleon @ Scope lensAbility: SniperEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Snipe Shot- Focus Energy- Dark Pulse- Ice Beam

Focus Energy: If you get to set up this just once your Snipe Shot will always critDark Pulse: For coverage and the nice 20% flinch chanceIce Beam: So your only big threat is electric

Nobody would ever expect a physical InteleonInteleon @ Focus SashAbility: TorrentEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly / Adamant Nature- Swords Dance- Liquidation- Acrobatics- Fell Stinger / Sucker Punch / Aqua Jet / Ice Shard

Set up swords dance, when the sash activates, so does torrent, so you can hit very hard with liquidation. Acrobatics is very powerful when sash activates. Fell Stinger can give you a massive attack boost, Sucker Punch is priority, Aqua Jet is STAB priority, and Ice Shard is priority. Out of these, the best options are Sucker Punch and Aqua Jet, but it’s really what you want.If you want to Dyanmax / Gigantamax, Acrobatics can take advantage of Max Airstream, too.

Dark Pulse is a better choice for Dynamax/Gmax

Other viable moves:

Other viable items- Wacan Berry: For electric types- Focus Sash: For Inteleon’s mediocre defense and special defense

This is my own Inteleon, so don’t criticise my inability to get it with Sniper.

Inteleon (M) @ Life OrbAbility: TorrentGigantamax: YesEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeModest Nature- Scald- Air Slash- Mud Shot- Dark Pulse

Scald: STABAir Slash: Max AirstreamMud Shot: Against Electric typesDark Pulse: Lowers Sp.Def as Max Darkness

Inteleon (M) @ Scope LensAbility: SniperGigantamax: YesEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeModest Nature- Snipe Shot- Ice Beam- Air Slash- Shadow Ball

Snipe Shot and Sniper and STAB deals so much damage, including which item above you choose also affects it. Ice Beam for that 10% chance Freeze and also for Grass-type coverage, Air Slash can have that Flinch Chance and Grass-type coverage. Shadow Ball for that 20% chance Special Defense Drop, giving Snow Shot and the other moves much more power.

Role: Special SweeperInteleon @ Scope LensAbility: SniperModest NatureEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe-Snipe Shot-Ice Beam-Dark Pulse-Air Slash

Snipe Shot: STAB, great chance for a Critical hit, and Critical Hits do more with Sniper.Ice Beam: Covers Grass type Weakness, 10% chance to freeze opponent.Dark Pulse: Coverage, good flinch chance (20%)Air Slash: Coverage, great flinch chance (30%).

This is the moveset I’m gonna use in my next Sword playthrough.

Inteleon @ Scope LensAbility: SniperEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Focus Energy- Snipe Shot- Dark Pulse- Ice Beam / Mud Shot

Focus energy: This move pretty much guarantees critical hits, especially with the scope lens, sniper ability and snipe shot.Snipe shot: Like I said before, works well with focus energy, scope lens etc. Powerful STABDark pulse: Good coverage against psychic and ghostIce beam / Mud Shot: Ice Beam is preferable, but mud shot is still decent and covers electric, fire, poison, rock and steel. Ice beam covers dragon, flying, grass and ground. Both are good coverage.

Inteleon (M) @ Scope LensAbility: SniperEVs: 6 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpeModest Nature- Snipe Shot- Ice Beam- Air Slash- Aqua Ring

Snipe Shot: Hits HARDIce Beam: Hits HARD and kills most dragons/grass types so great coverageAir Slash: Hits HARD and kills most grass types so decent coverageAqua Ring: Decent setup and if you get hit you can likely heal before getting hit again so you can keep a run and possibly sweep.

This is all just what I have on my own Inteleon so don’t judge lol

That is the final Starter that I have to make a moveset, here I go!!!Gen VIIIInteleon @ Life OrbAbility: SniperEVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 SpeModest / Timid Nature- Snipe Shot- Dark Pulse- Air Slash- Ice Beam

Snipe Shotis STAB and has INSANE crit ratio thanks to SniperBothDark PulseandAir Slashare for coverage and have a chance to flinchIce beamis also for coverage

Inteleon (M) @ Scope LensAbility: SniperEVs: 6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeModest Nature- Snipe Shot- Focus Energy- Air Slash / Dark Pulse / U-turn- Ice Beam

Snipe Shot / Scald: Most reliable STAB / Chance to BurnFocus Energy: Means death if you get to setupAir Slash/ Dark Pulse / U-turn: Flinch or EscapeIce Beam Coverage for Grass and Dragons

I don’t need to explain this.

Choice Specs Sweeper:

Inteleon @ Choice SpecsAbility: TorrentEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Scald / Surf / Hydro Pump- Air Slash / U-Turn- Dark Pulse / Shadow Ball- Ice Beam

The reason I went for a Torrent set instead of a Sniper one is that it is extremely risky to set up with focus energy in singles unless you have a focus sash. Also, I did not run Mud Shot is because a STAB Scald/Surf/Hydro Pump does more than a Super Effective Mud Shot.Scald for that burn to cripple physical attackers so they do less damage with physical moves or Surf for a good base power and accuracy or Hydro Pump for high damage but for the cost of accuracy. Any one of these 3 water moves are viable for Inteleon.Air Slash is for good coverage against Bug and Fighting types and that needed speed boost when Dynamaxed from Max Airstream and also that extremely nice 30% chance to flinch, or you can just run U-Turn for pivot.Shadow Ball is for sp.def drops but not as good as Dark Pulse when Dynamaxed, in which case Max Darkness lowers the Sp.def of walls. Dark Pulse also has a Flinch Chance. Even though both Dark and Ghost are super-effective against the same types, (Psychic and Ghost), Shadow Ball has a slight advantage being super effective against Hatterene, Gardevoir, and Mimikyu while Dark Pulse hits them neutrally. It’s up to you which one you pick.Lastly, we have Ice Beam, which it is obvious that it would be included.Hope this set is successful for you

Just try to get some crits.Also, you can try and get a Pokemon in doubles that draws in the opponent’s moves so you can get the focus energy in, unharmed.

Inteleon @ Wise GlassesAbility: SniperEVs: 252 SpA / 4 HP / 252 SpeModest Nature- Snipe Shot- Mud Shot- Air Slash- Focus Energy

Inteleon @ Scope LensAbility: SniperEVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 6 HPTimid Nature- Snipe Shot- Ice Beam- Air Slash- Focus Energy

so, this is the Inteleon set that I use in Gen 8 Anything Goes, along with my Drizzle Pelipper:

harper (Inteleon) (M) @ Petaya BerryAbility: TorrentEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Weather Ball / Surf / Hydro Pump- Work Up- Substitute- U-turn

This set is all based around spamming Substitute to get you down to the range where Torrent and Petaya Berry activate. If your opponent lets you keep your Substitute, use Work Up to boost your special attack even more, but do be careful of Pokemon who try to boost their speed. Once you get down to that range where Petaya Berry and Torrent activate, destroy everything you can with your STAB Water-type Weather Ball in the Rain. If you don’t want to rely on the rain, you can always go for Surf/Hydro Pump, but personally, Weather Ball works well for me!

Gen 9 Inteleon (Doubles)

James Pond (Inteleon) @ Scope Lens/Focus SashTera: WaterAbility: SniperEVs: 252 Sp. Atk/252 Spd/4 HPModest Nature-Snipe Shot-Ice Beam-Focus Energy-Surf

As said in the title, this set is for doubles, as the Indigo Disk is officially 3 weeks away, and it focuses on doubles. Tera water for INSANE damage with snipe shot and surf, focus energy + scope lens give large crit chance on all of your moves. Sniper for supporting focus energy. You can do focus sash if you want to, in order to guaranteed survivability.

Gen 9 NU Choice Specs/ScarfInteleon @ Choice Specs / Choice ScarfAbility: TorrentTera Type: WaterEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid / Modest Nature- Hydro Pump- Surf- Ice Beam- U-turn

Well, Inteleon recently got unbanned from NUBL, so here is a Choiced set it can use while it’s in the tier. Hydro Pump is a really powerful Water STAB, being hard to switch in to due to the boost from Choice Specs. Water resists such Bruxish and Tauros-Paldea-Blaze get 2HKOed by Specs Hydro Pump. Surf is for a more reliable Water STAB that is useful late game should Inteleon not need the power from Hydro Pump to pick off an opposing team. Ice Beam allows Inteleon to hit Grass- and Dragon-types such as Goodra, Hisuian Electrode, Shaymin, Rotom-Mow, Wo-Chien, Dipplin, and Altaria super effectively. U-turn allows Inteleon to pivot out of bad matchups and bring in a teammate. Choice Specs gives Inteleon’s attacks more power, while Choice Scarf allows Inteleon to revenge kill faster Pokemon such as Jolteon, Hisuian Electrode, and slower Choice Scarf Pokemon. Tera Water is used to boost the power of Inteleon’s Water STABs, making them more dangerous to switch into.

Timid Nature allows Inteleon to outspeed Pokemon such as Salazzle and Scyther. Modest Nature is used to give Inteleon more power, and is mainly used if you use Choice Scarf since Inteleon will quite fast with a Choice Scarf, allowing it to use Modest on a Scarf set. You can use Modest Nature if you use Choice Specs to make Inteleon’s attacks hit harder, but Inteleon will miss out on outspeed Salazzle if using Modest Nature on a Choice Specs set.

Inteleon @ Rindo Berry (Gen 9 National Dex)Ability: TorrentEVs: 252 Special Attack/ 100 Speed/ 56 HPTimid Nature

I used Torrent instead of Sniper because Inteleon isn’t very bulky and will most likely be activated. Rindo Berry can help deal with Grass moves. Rain Dance boosts the power of Snipe Shot even more while Ice Beam and Air Slash are for coverage.

This one is interesting (this is basiclly a supporter Inteleon)

Inteleon @ Focus SashAbility: TorrentEVs: 6 HP / 252 SpD / 252 SpeBold NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Snipe Shot- Aqua Ring- Soak- Tearful Look

Snipe Shot: I told you he is a supporter but that doesn’t mean he can’t deal damageAqua Ring: that is why I call this set a support setSoak: Bring out the electric and grass types to punish emTearful Look: They now can’t do damage

Feel free to down vote me if you don’t like this moveset

Inteleon @ Mystic WaterAbility: TorrentEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Surf- Hydro Cannon- Swords Dance- Ice Beam

Surf because it has 100 accuracy and 90 base attack plus it is stab so there is no reason not to have it.Hydro cannon because it does a lot of damage and it’s stab and since Inteleon has base 120 speed but since it has a cooldown you should only use it if the opponent is around low hp.Swords dance because it sharply raises the attack so if torrent kicks in plus with the mystic water you will be able to do a lot of damage with Inteleon especially if you uses stab movesIce beam because you can easily handle grass, flying, and dragon types so electric would be your only issue.
