re: Special Sweepers

You mean Pokemon with good Special Attack? Here:

  • Gardevoir
  • Alakazam
  • Gorebyss
  • Vileplume
  • Cacturne
  • Manectric
  • Magneton
  • Camerupt
  • Seviper
  • Roselia
  • Salamence
  • Milotic
  • Blaziken
  • Sceptile

    Those are the Pokemon with Sp. Attack powers over 100.
    The highest would be Alakazam at 135 and Gardevoir at 125.

  • The one's i've left in your quote, are quite frankly teH suXX0r. They aren't particularly good special sweepers. Vileplumne- because it's defenses are low, and without a Sunny Day it's too slow to sweep. Plus unless you spend ages breeding for HP Fire, it's not really much use.

    Cacturne's defenses are just horrible, and a good special sweeper can at least defend itself. Pus he doesn't learn none grass type Special Attacks.

    Roselia has awful defenses too. It's the downfall of the grass-type. High Sp Attack, no defenses, little speed. All the above are grass-type, and they all suffer from that.

    Anyway, good movesets:

    Alakazam@Leftovers
    Calm Mind
    Reflect
    Psychic
    Ice/Fire/Thunderpunch (get a medicham, take it to the move rememberer, get your chosen, and breed it with an alakazam)

    The standard sweeping Alakazam.

    Gorebyss@Leftovers
    Surf
    Ice Beam
    Amnesia
    Agility

    Can increase it's defenses and speed till it's not going to die, then sweep like nobody's businesss.

    Gardevoir@Leftovers/BrightPowder
    Calm Mind
    Thunderbolt
    Psychic
    Recover/Reflect

    Standard.

    Salamence@Leftovers
    Dragonbreath
    Flamethrower
    Roar
    Sunny Day

    I just made this up of the top of my head. Salamence doesn't have a wide selection of decent special attacks, and this one can power up f-thrower, and pseudo-haze if it needs to.
