Zapdos @ Life Orb Trait: Lightningrod EVs: 112 HP / 252 SAtk / 146 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Agility - Thunder - Hurricane - Earth Power With this EV spread, at +2, Zapdos reaches 542 Speed, outspeeding Scarf Starmie and below. Lightningrod(if ever released), would boost Zapdos Special attack to 573 if it absorbs an electric attack. The rest of the EVs are put into HP to help tank a hit to set up an Agility. Under rain would make Zapdos a very potent Rain Sweeper. With STAB Hurricane and Thunder, Zapdos gets a wide range of coverage, being only resisted by electric types. Earth Power helps deal with those and any Steel or Rock Types hoping to wall Zapdos in some way, being walled only by Max HP/Sdef Eelecktross, and the pink blobs.

Regigigas @ Silk Scarf Trait: Speed Boost EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SpDef Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - ExtremeSpeed - Earthquake - Return - Payback Welcome, an ExtremeSpeed sweeper that rivals even Arceus! Although it's movepool still isn't that good, getting rid of it's awful Slow Start ability for the game-breaking Speed Boost and giving it a priority move to help its Speed Stat to start with and later against Priority users, this should shoot the sad sad legendary straight up to Ubers.
Tornadus @ Choice Specs Trait: Tinted Lens EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Hurricane - Aura Sphere - U-turn - Air Slash Flying has very few specially defensive resists in OU. Tinted Lens destroys them. With the few double flying resists in OU, and the ones that can take any form of hit are slower and weak to the other coverage moves Torn can use. Spoiler 252 SpAtk Choice Specs Tornadus Hurricane vs 252 HP/252 SpDef Rotom-W (+SpDef) : 64.47% - 76.32% 252 SpAtk Choice Specs Tornadus Hurricane vs 252 HP/252 SpDef Jirachi (+SpDef) : 50.74% - 60.15% 252 SpAtk Choice Specs Tornadus Hurricane vs 180 HP/0 SpDef Tyranitar: 49.22% - 58.29% 252 SpAtk Choice Specs Tornadus Hurricane vs 252 HP/120 SpDef Tyranitar (+SpDef) : 38.12% - 45.3% 252 SpAtk Choice Specs Tornadus Aura Sphere vs 252 HP/120 SpDef Tyranitar (+SpDef) : 77.23% - 91.09% This thing would basically be impossible to wall in OU, and its still really quick to boot.
The most creative one yet: Mew with Mulititype. New item: Blank Plate, powers up Normal moves by 20%. With no plate Mew is Psychic type. Oh, and it also gets Judgment now. Not sure if it would go Ubers, but it would certainly break UU. Of course, it could still run its old sets perfectly viably. But here are some new sets it could use. I know some would be outclassed, I was thinking on my feet.

Ok, was gonna do sap sipper quagsire but swampert's already done, so try this! Charizard @ Sash Type :Fire/Dragon 252 Speed/252 Attack Jolly/Hasty Nature Blaze/Moxie -Dragon Dance -Flare blitz/fire blast -Outrage (stab) -Earthquake Now this one's really OP - Girafarig @ Damage reduce berry -Bug/dark? Ability: Two heads are better than one - Doubles Special Attack Nature: Happy (boosts all) Dunno whats the best movepool but: Agility Psyshock/Psychic Signal beam Thunderbolt U mad?
If you could refrain from A, double posting, and B, making up your own abilities and stuff, that'd be great lol.
Yup, Charizard's perfectly fine, because you haven't created anything new there. I'm fairly sure someone's done that before on this thread somewhere, but hey. :D
Haxorus @ Choice Band Ability: Tinted Lens Evs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Hp Nature: Adamant/Jolly Moves: - Outrage - Outrage - Outrage - Outrage There are loads of pokemon that would be broken with the 'Tinted Lens' ability, but I felt Haxorus was particularly notable due to nothing in the entire game being able to switch into this set as nothing is immune to Outrage and everything is 2hkoed at minimum by Outrage, while everything faster is OHKOed.
Ok Spoovo I think I owe you an original brokemon so here- Rapidash @ E-belt/lefties Ability : No Guard Nature: Probably Timid EVs: Not gonna bother making a spread for an imaginary flaming unicorn -Inferno (100% accurate) -Hypnosis/coverage (not gonna include horn drill) -Thunder (coverage + triple status troll) -Megahorn
I don't see how that is broken. Klingklang @ Leftovers Trait: Download EVs: Whatever spread you'd like! Prob adamant / jolly nature - shift gear - gear grind - wild charge / frustration / substitute - substitute / frustration / wild charge This would totally wreck NU. Not that much in the upper tiers, but Klingklang is mainly used in NU.
Gengar @ Leftovers Prankster Levitate 252 speed, 252 sp.attack - Substitute - Disable - Shadow Ball - Focus Blast It looks mischievous so prankster makes some sense xD losing levitate is a big loss, but prankster disable has got to be broken.
Blissey @ Leftovers Trait: Regenerator EVs: 4 / 252 Def / 252 Spd Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Wish - Seismic Toss - Refresh / Protect - Toxic Part of me feels like this would not necesarily break Blissey and in fact part of me also feels like Natural Cure is still more benifiting but yeah . . . I was just thinking . .
I think it might break Blissey, one of the problems with wish support is that half the time you have to use the wish on yourself while they switch to a blissey counter. With Regenerator, this problem is solved allowing you to pass wishes off it's huge 651 hp all day. Heal Bell > Refresh maybe?
Kyurem-B @ Expert Belt Teravolt Adamant 252 Atk, 4 Def, 252 Spe Shift Gear Icicle Spear Fusion Bolt Dragon Claw/Outrage
Good idea, but it's still hard walled by his usual counters: jirachi, ferrothorn, bronzong. A set could be: Kyurem-B @ White Herb Trait: Teravolt EVs: 108 HP / 252 Atk / 148 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Shell Smash - Outrage - Fusion Bolt - Earthquake With 148 speed, it outspeed jolly scarf latios after a shell smash, full attack and the rest on HP for some bulk. Earthquake take care of Jirachi, Bronzong and at some point ferrothorn.
Interesting one I thought of: Crawdaunt @ Life Orb Trait: Adaptability Naive Nature EV: 252 Atk, 4 SAtk, 252 Spd Shell Smash Waterfall/Crabhammer Crunch Ice Beam Since Crawdaunt is a lobster, Shell Smash makes sense. Waterfall is recommended, although the power of Crabhammer can be useful. Crunch is the reliable STAB. Ice Beam is for Tangela. Speaking of Shell Smash... Torterra @ Life Orb Trait: Mold Breaker Adamant Nature EV: 4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spd Shell Smash Wood Hammer/Seed Bomb Earthquake Stone Edge/Return
Excadrill @Leftovers/Life Orb Trait: Speed Boost EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Swords Dance/Protect - Earthquake - Shadow Claw - Brick Break Forget Sand Rush, Speed Boost Excadrill can probably own Ubers just fine this way, except Kyogre, unless it's weakened or Excadrill has a proper amount of SDs done.
Shaymin-S @ Expert Belt/Life Orb Trait: Serene Grace EVs: 252 SpA / 252 SpE - Seed Flare - Hurricane - Weather Ball - Synthesis Hurricane and Serene Grace so annoying.
Landorus @ Life Orb Trait: Sheer Force EVs: 68 HP / 252 SAtk / 188 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk -Atk) -Earth Power -Hidden Power [Ice] -Focus Blast -Rock Polish I thing this would be a big threat to the OU metagame. OH WAIT All kidding aside though. Ferrothorn @ Leftovers Trait: Multiscale EVs: Whatever suits your team Nature: Something that goes -Speed -Recover -Power Whip -Gyro Ball -Spikes/Anything I wonder how hard it would be to get past this in the rain.
Volcarona (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Magic Guard EVs: 144 HP / 252 SAtk / 112 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Fire Blast - Bug Buzz - Giga Drain - Quiver Dance bye hazards, This thing wreks all Salamence has a part of shelgon's shell...so... Salamence (M) @ Lum Berry Trait: Intimidate EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef) - Shell Smash - Outrage - Earthquake - Fire Blast beast imo...intimidate for easy setup but you can use moxie too Weavile @ Life Orb Trait: Technician EVs: 252 Atk / 4 HP / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Beat Up/Pursuit - Low Kick - Ice Shard - Swords Dance for easy wins
Shedinja @ Lum Berry Trait: Sturdy Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def) EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd IVs: 0 Def - Endeavor - Shadow Sneak - X-Scissor - Shadow Claw [SECRET]Because FUCK THE WORLD!!! \o/[/SECRET]
Volcarona (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Compoundeyes EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Modest/Timid - Fire Blast - Bug Buzz/Hidden Power [Ice] - Hydro Pump - Quiver Dance
Aerodactyl @ Life Orb/Choice Band Trait: Rock Head EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) -Brave Bird -Head Smash -Earthquake -Stealth Rock
Empoleon @ Choice Specs Trait:Drizzle/Cold Steel (Cold steel grants resist to fire and resist to fighting moves) EVs: 4hp/252 Special Attack/252 Special Defence Modest Nature/Timid Nature -Quiver Dance -Hydro Pump -Air Slash -Ice Beam This. Bye bye politoed and now empoleon as drizzle inducer of Choice! Quiver Dancing Penguin is umm... Kinda interesting. and air slash because it's a penguin. Also Empoleon now makes a grand entrance to the OU tier. Jirachi @ Leftovers Trait: Serene Grace EVs: Anything Any nature -Iron Head -Body Slam -ANCIENT POWER -BLAZE KICK This. Now. Mightyena @ Lifeorb Trait:Huge Power EVs: 252 Attack/252 Speed/4 HP Adamant Nature -Extreme Speed -Dragon Dance -Crunch -Outrage ^ Have fun trying to wall this thing.
Skarmory, Forretress, Ferrothorn, and Scizor will have plenty of fun. Farfetched'd much? Yes, ditching the ability that gives you immunities to 75% + of the moves you'll see is a good idea.
Not sure if this would break the Pokémon, but it would certainly give it a boost Garchomp @ Life Orb Trait: Sand Force Jolly Nature (+Spd -SAtk) Dragon Dance Outrage Earthquake Stone Edge
Honestly, I say giving Sheer Force to anything with a potent Special movepool will break it. I mean, look at Nidoqueen and the almost-broken Landorus. Keldeo@ Life Orb -Trait:Sheer Force U know the EVs -Scald -Focus Blast -Dark Pulse -Calm mind Scald hits harder than surf lol. With DP not even Celebi or jellicent is safe. The only thing I see checking this is Psyshock Starmie, which can be killed by a certain sandy dinosaur.....
There are plenty of physical moves that get the Sheer Force boost too. Sticking with Sheer Force... Thundurus-T @ Life Orb Timid Nature Trait: Sheer Force EV: 4 Def, 252 SAtk, 252 Spd Nasty Plot Thunderbolt Ice Beam Focus Blast
i loled at most to Daybreaks Cresselia set. This is similar; Wobbuffet @ Leftovers Calm Nature Trait: Shadow Tag EV: 4 Spe , 252 Def , 252 SpD Encore Mirror Coat Counter Recover Quite realistic improvement since many Psychics get Recovery moves.
...Sturdy allows you to live literally every single attack that is aimed at you. Your only weaknesses are secondary effects (most of which are 10%), hazards, status (Safeguard), weather (you can run a weather move like most people that run Sturdy Shedinja), Rough Skin / Iron Barbs / Aftermath / etc and other irrelevant shit, and it is significantly better than Wonder Guard. Don't use sarcasm when you have no clue how the set works.
Dragonite@Leftovers Trait: Own Tempo Adamant Nature 252 Attack/252 Speed/4 hp -Outrage -Dragon Dnace -Filler move -Filler Move ^ Yey 4 outrage spam. Rampardos@Lifeorb/Choice Band Adamant Nature Trait: Speed Boost 252 Speed/252 Attack/4 Whatever -Extreme Speed -Head Smash -Earthquake -Fire Fang I wonder what tier this would drive Rampy in.. Hm....
Speed Boost AND ESpeed would just be pointless on Ramp, as ESpeed outruns every other direct attack anyways. Fire Fang is also dumb, because Rampy gets Fire Punch lol.
Entei @ Choice Band Trait: Pressure EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Flare Blitz - ExtremeSpeed - Horn Leech - Earthquake pls give it this so we can finally throw it out of LU lol
@ Leftovers/Wise Glasses Trait: Adaptability EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Modest Nature (+SpA, -SAtk) - Quiver Dance - Hydro Pump - Giga Drain - Ice Beam Fuck yeah dancin pineapple!
I totally agree. In fact I think people should stop putting Speed Boost and Huge Powers on stuffs and call it a day. What ever happened to creativity?
