Medicham @ Medichamite
Ability: Pure Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- High Jump Kick
- Zen Headbutt
- Ice Punch

Alternate moves: Drain Punch, Psycho Cut, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Bullet Punch

Drain Punch provides recovery however HJK is preferred to hit so much harder. Psycho Cut doesn't make contact so you don't take damage from Rocky Helmet, also has a high chance to crit. Fire Punch is mostly for Doublade, could also be used to OHKO Bulky Mega Scizor. Thunder Punch is for Slowbro and Bullet Punch provides more priority and comes in handy for Diancie and Gardevoir.

Alternate moves: Taunt/Knock Off > Will'O'Wisp

The given speed is for base 70's, notably Bisharp but it can also be useful against Breloom if you're running Taunt, burning it is nice too though.

Choice Scarf
Victini @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- V-create
- Bolt Strike
- U-turn
- Trick

Alternate moves: Blue Flare, Zen Headbutt, Final Gambit, Glaciate, Energy Ball
Alternate Spread: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe w/ Naive Nature if running one of the special moves listed above.

Trick comes in handy vs Eviolite abusers and bulky set-up mons such as Snorlax and Suicune. Zen Headbutt provies a second STAB move, Glaciate helps vs Garchomp, Landorus-T and Gliscor which are often used as switch-ins to Victini (if they're physically defensive of course, otherwise Landorus-T and Gliscor do not wanna take a V-Create.), Energy Ball is for Slowbro and just grass coverage in general if the rest of your team lacks it, otherwise Bolt Strike is the superior option. Then there's Final Gambit which can get rid of threats to your team, it is gonna cost you Victini though. And finally, Blue Flare helps vs Bug and Steel without getting the drops from V-Create.

Also, if running a special attack, it is recommended that you run the Naive nature so you have a bigger chance to live Sucker Punch from Bisharp, especially if it's Lum Berry, then you live either way.

Brick Break helps vs the Steel match-up so your opponent thinks twice about going into Heatran on the Fire move.

Alternate moves: Energy Ball, Dazzling Gleam, Hidden Power [Ice], Thunder Wave
Alternate item: Focus Sash

The Focus Sash set is really good for revenge killing as it's never gonna be broken by hazards or status. Thunder Wave is a good option for the sash set as it can cripple speed boosters after living any one hit.

Mega-Latias

Calm Mind
Latias-Mega (F) @ Latiasite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 232 Def / 28 Spe
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Roost
- Stored Power
- Substitute

Alternate moves: Refresh, Reflect Type, Dragon Pulse, Psyshock, Hidden Power [Fighting]

The given speed is for Breloom so you can sub on the Spore. Breloom can't beat this 1v1 anyway but you still don't want to be put to sleep in case your opponent has something threatening in the back. Refresh can be used to get rid of status such as Toxic and Thunder Wave which cripple the effectiveness of this set. Psyshock and Dragon Pulse are good STAB options if
you're not a fan of Stored Power and HP Fighting hits Bisharp. Reflect Type is an option but I wouldn't recommend it over the other moves.

Defensive
Latias @ Latiasite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 68 Def / 192 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Psyshock

Alternate moves: Roar, Reflect Type, Dragon Pulse, Thunderbolt

The spread is to outspeed max speed Garchomp and kill it with Ice Beam. Roar prevents Latias from being set-up fodder to Mega-Scizor, Bisharp, Doublade, Aegislash and Mega-Gyarados. Thunder Wave provides speed control, very good move on a bulky mon.

Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Defog
- Healing Wish

Alternate moves: Roost, Ice Beam, Hidden Power [Fire]
Alternate spread: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

The spread of 72 HP prevents Latias from being 2HKO'd by Thundurus' HP Ice because most of the time this is gonna be your switch-in to Thundurus. Roost can be used if you want some longevity but other than it's better bulk, Healing Wish is Latias' selling point, comes in handy when you have to let a mon take damage or get statused and then bring it back. HP Fire is for Ferrothorn, Mega-Scizor etc. and Ice Beam can be used for SDef Gliscor which can stall you out with the Life Orb recoil if you're not running Roost

Timid Nature

Alternate moves: Surf, Thunderbolt

Hits decently hard with it's base 100 SpA and also provides the most reliable hazard removal due to it's amazing speed.
Reflect Type
Starmie @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Rapid Spin
- Recover
- Reflect Type

Alternate moves: Psyshock, Thunderbolt

Great utility set for Starmie. Scald to fish for burns, Thunderbolt so you're not walled by bulky Water types, Recover for longevity and Reflect Type for things like Bisharp, Mega-Scizor and many others. Psyshock and Thunderbolt can be used over Rapid Spin if you already have hazard removal. Psyshock provides second STAB and Thunderbolt for bulky Waters who want to come in.

Specially Defensive

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 224 SpD / 32 Spe
Careful Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Iron Head
- Stealth Rock
- Zen Headbutt

Alternate moves: Wish, U-Turn
Alternate spread: 176 HP / 224 SpD / 108 Spe

By far my favorite Jirachi set. Easily switches into things like Gardevoir and Latis, even if they wanna go for Shadow Ball. It can also take a hit from Gengar and Hydreigon, TWave them back and start firing off Iron Heads. Zen Headbutt provides secondary STAB, you don't really see it much on SDef Jirachi but it comes in handy a lot, more than Wish since there's no Protect on this set, and you basically get leftovers recovery by flinching out your opponent. Zen also helps in OHKOing Scolipede after rocks which is a huge threat to Psychic because it can Sub or Swords Dance knowing Iron Head won't OHKO. Helps a ton vs Fairy as well.

Very nice Shadow Tag trapper that can put a lot of pressure on your opponent and make him think twice about how he plays, because Gothitelle can come in at any moment to remove a mon such as Slowbro with specs TBolt which is always very important due to it's amazing bulk.

[Eien]

Something ive been using which u might want to mention is toxic orb sub focus or sd facade loom its a great balance breaking set which gives breloom some nice recovery while also being an annoying pokemon vs balance. Ill also add onto this by adding toxicroack very helpful vs fairs and can run physical and special sets as well.

Toxicroak is ranked D, so it doesn't quite make the C requirement.

I'll add in the Breloom sets though, thanks for the suggestions! (I might see if I'll try them out myself!) Should the moves be [Substitute, Focus Punch, Seed Bomb, Spore] and [Swords Dance, Facade, Seed Bomb, Mach Punch]? That's what I'll put in for now, but please correct me if I'm wrong!

• Magma storm is for trapping voltswitch-less Zapdos, which is a big wall to offensive steel teams. Heatran can severely weaken or even take out Zapdos. In combination with taunt, it can also 1v1 chansey and mew, two annoying mons for balance steel. *252 SpA Heatran Magma Storm vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Zapdos: 127-150 (33.1 - 39.1%) -- 14.6% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery)

Additional Options:
-the only reason to use magneton over magnezone is so that you outspeed torn-t/starmie/megapidgeot, but you could use modest magneton because it is barely slower than magnezone but at the same time is stronger than magnezone (s/o ThimoTheUltimateBOBO for this idea)

[Sabella]

Toxicroak is ranked D, so it doesn't quite make the C requirement.

I'll add in the Breloom sets though, thanks for the suggestions! (I might see if I'll try them out myself!) Should the moves be [Substitute, Focus Punch, Seed Bomb, Spore] and [Swords Dance, Facade, Seed Bomb, Mach Punch]? That's what I'll put in for now, but please correct me if I'm wrong!

they both seem pretty nice you could use superpower>mach for power if wanted also

[Mega-Serperior-Z]

Sceptile-Mega @ Sceptilite
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Energy Ball
- Rock Slide
- Dragon Pulse
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Other Options:

• Leaf Storm > Energy Ball
• HP Fire > HP Ice (Though, you will lose 1 IV in speed, but I don't know if its that crucial because Mega-Sceptile is already fast enough)
• Different EV Spread (I'm not sure about EV Spreads)
• Focus Blast > HP Ice
• EQ > Rock Slide
• Iron Tail?

This monster is just if you don't like Mega Venusaur, like me. You really have to rely on Ferro/Cradily taking hits instead of Venusaur, but you have to go really offensive. Energy Ball (or Leaf Storm) for STAB, Dragon Pulse too. Rock Slide is mainly used as a HP Rock without using a Hidden Power slot, because you would probably use it for stuff like Charizards, never Pokemon like Rotom-Heat or anything though. You could use EQ for an alternative. This hits Heatrans which you can bait in (somehow??) and KO them (unless you haven't popped its balloon). Hidden Power Ice can be used to kill things like Lando (unless they're scarf u-turn).. other Sceptiles? Hidden Power Fire, as an alternative, for 2hko-ing Skarms, Scizors unless you get bopped by +2 Scizor, or they switch to Heatran (and then you can use EQ, unless they're scarfed). Though, as an alternative, you could use Focus Blast, which can hit steel types hard and Normal Types not named Chansey or Porygon2 or Blissey... nvm really don't know. Iron Tail for... fairies i guess? not really useful but Sceptile's movepool isn't that great for its weaknesses. It still gets hard walled by Chansey, Porygon2 and other Pokes.

Thats pretty much it, the only helpful calcs are the ones that ohko, if they don't ohko against an offensive Pokemon there isn't really a point to calc.

tl;dr: Mostly Coverage, stab and killing main threats that could wall / kill Sceptile. And not really working when Sceptile only 2hkos opponents unless its safe to attack on Pokemon that cannot do anything to you. You mainly use it for revenge kills.

Substitute with it's good HP stat as well as defensive stat gives it good room to keep making subs and coiling up boosting it's attack to dangerous levels.

This is what everyone hates in monotype Lol. Calm Mind is used to boost Mega Sableyes Special Defense and Special Attack to amazing levels. Snarl is on this set to lower the opponents Special Attack even more so they can't touch you at all. Will-O-Wisp for Crippling and Recover for health.

Ability: Magician
EVs: 36 Atk / 220 SpA / 252 Spe

- Hyperspace Fury

Alternative Moves: Thunderbolt or Energy Ball over Psychic or Hidden Power Fire. Substitute over Psychic.
This utilizes Hoopa's amazing movepool and good offensive stats(but limited slots) in a way with mixed attacks. I realize this set shuts down steel and grass too, hope alternatives help for other troubles.

EVs: 40 HP / 236 SpA / 4 SpD / 228 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Substitute

Alternative Items: Salac Berry with Max speed Hoopa.
This set isn't really standard, but I wanted to add it because I've used it before on the ladder and it managed to work pretty well. My friend Sabella used the Sub Nasty Plot on Dark and it was able to sweep some teams, while I used Sub Salac on Psychic because Psychic had more support via screens and such. This set can work for both Dark and Psychic, just make sure you have pokemon to cover this set's weaknesses.

Grass

S Rank

Physical Tank
Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Leech Seed
- Spikes

Alternative moves: Thunder Wave, Knock Off, Protect. I'd use Thunder Wave over Stealth Rock if you have Stealth Rock on another mon like Cradily. Protect can be used in tandem with Leech Seed for more recovery, Knock off is good for helping with Evio cores and taking passive recovery away from bulky mons.

The main physical wall on grass teams, Cradily forming the special component. Stacks hazards to help with fast mons on Grass, such as Serp and Whimsicott, and mons running priority like Breloom and Shiftry. Racks up damage via Iron Barbs and Rocky Helmet.

Special Attacker
Venusaur @ Venusaurite
Ability: Chlorophyll (Thick Fat when Mega)
EVs: 232 HP / 252 SpA / 24 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe
- Sludge Bomb/Earthquake
- Giga Drain/Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Synthesis

Alternative moves: Earthquake over Sludge Bomb or Giga Drain, slashing it over Giga Drain means Venu can't break Balloons on mons such as Heatran and Sludge Bomb coverage is generally useful for Fairy and opposing Grass coverage. If you feel your team performs well enough in these matchups already, go ahead. EQ makes it more of a mixed attacker.

This set is overall useful for pushing through Skarmory, Ferrothorn, Scizor and Forretress, all things that Grass struggles with in general.

Physical Attacker
Breloom @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance/Rock Tomb
- Mach Punch
- Bullet Seed
- Spore

Alternative Moves: Pushing 464 Attack with LO, even more if you go Adamant. I honestly think Rock Tomb might be more useful for things like Zapdos, hits hard enough already. Nothing like pulling off a SD with this thing though.

Puts in more work than probably any other mon against Steel and Normal monos. Not much of an explanation is needed; just there to put something to sleep and hit hard.

A Rank

Curse Setup
Cradily @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Curse
- Rock Slide
- Recover
- Earthquake

Alternative moves: Stealth Rock over EQ if you feel comfortable without EdgeQuake coverage and perhaps want to free up a moveslot on Ferro.

This is can seal the deal for your grass team once anything that can Toxic or Will-o is removed. Storm Drain is to prevent Scald burns.

Special Attacker
Whimsicott @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Moonblast
- Giga Drain
- U-turn
- Stun Spore

Alternative moves: N/A.

DRAGON SLAYER. I love this set. Helps out so much against Dragon and combined with Loom Dark monos are a lot easier to face. With Prankster Stun Spore it also serves as a great form of Speed control for Scarf mons that your team will struggle with such as Scarftini.

Physical Attacker
Shiftry @ Life Orb
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Rock Slide
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
- Defog

Alternative moves: Leaf Blade over Defog, but I like Defog a lot more now. It's just there in case you need to remove hazards to win or you haven't gotten yours up and your opponent has.

Pretty standard stuff, Adamant Sucker Punch KOs so many scarfed Psychic mons, even without hazard support. Knock Off support is great in tons of matchups and great for dealing with a lot of fat walls in general. Rock Slide Chlorophyll, bye Zard Y.

Physical Wallbreaker

Ability: Moxie (Aerilate when Mega)
Happiness: 0
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Quick Attack
- Earthquake
- Frustration
- Swords Dance

Alternative moves: Feint over Quick Attack, which can actually be useful for beating a weakened mon with Espeed and not taking damage. Close Combat over Earthquake if you need more ways to deal with Balloon Steel types and against Normal and Rock.

Grab an SD and sweep. Webs and Rocks obviously help make this process easier. Not much of an explanation is needed.

Armaldo @ Leftovers
Ability: Battle Armor
EVs: 248 HP / 48 Atk / 212 SpD
Careful Nature
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake / Knock Off / Aqua Jet
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock

Alternative moves: None on either set. (Shouts out to Wanka for the second set.)

One of the two Rapid Spinners on Bug teams. Both of these sets are very good as mons such as Scizor and Volcarona (set up Bulkarona) tend to skew physically, so Armaldo aims to take special hits. Notably in Sun the AV set is 3HKO'd by Zard Y's Flamethrower in sun. Fire Blast is a likely 2HKO however against either set.

Special Attacker
Galvantula @ Life Orb
Ability: Compound Eyes
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Def
- Thunder
- Volt Switch
- Giga Drain/Energy Ball
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Alternative moves: Bug Buzz over Giga Drain/Energy Ball. I only prefer HP Ice + Giga Drain I like having Ice and Grass coverage against Ground.

Aims to assist your Bug team in taking out annoying Water/Grounds and just being an overall boon against Flying, Dragon and Ground teams. Not much to say other than that, it has coverage to help in all those matchups and with LO pushes 380 Special Attack, which isn't bad.

Webs Setter
Galvantula @ Focus Sash
Ability: Compound Eyes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunder
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Giga Drain/Energy Ball
- Sticky Web

Alternative moves: Bug Buzz over Giga Drain/Energy Ball. I only prefer HP Ice + Giga Drain I like having Ice and Grass coverage against Ground.

The aim of this set isn't much different, the only distinction is that you're leading this for sure and getting your webs up, since Sash guarantees this. The only way you don't is if there's a faster Taunter or Prankster Taunt. You'll have to adjust if that's the case, but other than that, it's pretty straightforward.

Rapid Spinner
Forretress @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Rapid Spin
- Volt Switch
- Gyro Ball
- Stealth Rock

Alternative moves: N/A.

A wall that does a lot for your team. Switches into Scarf Terrakion easily and can Volt Switch to grab momentum since you threaten with Gyro Ball. Rapid Spin removes rocks and Stealth Rock supports your offensive mons with hazards.

B Rank

LO Attacker
Scolipede @ Life Orb
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 32 Def / 224 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Earthquake
- Megahorn
- Rock Slide

Alternative moves: None.

Primarily provides an offensive check to fighting mons, even Scarfers such as Victini and the Rock + Ground coverage allows you to hit Zard Y as well. Does good work against Flying as well and can win once its checks and counters (such as Lando-T and Skarm, respectively) have been taken out.

C Rank

Physical Attacker/Pivot
Beedrill @ Beedrillite
Ability: Sniper
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Poison Jab
- Knock Off
- Protect

Alternative moves: Drill Run over Knock Off.

Protect is to get Beedrill its massive Speed boost after it Megas. Knock Off is used to take items off things, Drill run would provide coverage for thing such as Tran were you to run that instead. Set is fairly self-explanitory, Mega then hit hard, U-Turn out on what you won't or on predicted switch outs.

Quiver Dance Sweeper
Vivillon @ Focus Sash/Leftovers
Ability: Compound Eyes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Sleep Powder
- Hurricane
- Bug Buzz
- Quiver Dance

Alternative moves: None.

Sash if you think you're in situations where you'll have hazards removed but need to take a hit to get a QD first, otherwise Leftovers. Vivillon takes advantage of a great ability to put things to sleep almost 100% of the time and then spams STABs to deal out a lot of damage.

Fairy

Belly Drum Sweeper
Azumarill @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 64 HP / 4 Def / 252 Atk / 188 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Knock Off

Alternative moves: Superpower and Waterfall over Play Rough, but I think Play Rough is better.

Another mon with a relatively simple idea. Klefki provides screen support, and Azu grabs a BD behind them. 188 Speed is to outspeed Skarm and Knock Off and be faster than some slower walls, such as Pory2, and hit them with Play Rough. Would run 68 HP, but that leaves you at an even HP number and you want to be odd for Belly Drum.

Screens Support
Klefki @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Foul Play
- Thunder Wave

Alternative moves: N/A.

Screens to support Fairy's overall special bulk and augment it's generally lower physical defense. Priority Thunder Wave for Speed control. Foul Play to punish threatening setup mons for the type, such as Scizor.

Mixed Attacker
Diancie @ Diancite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 44 Atk / 212 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Protect
- Diamond Storm
- Earth Power

Alternative moves: HP Fire over Earth Power.

44 Atk can help to OHKO things like Gengar that have STAB that threatens a lot of your team provided you have Rocks up. Protect, Mega Evolve, and fire off powerful moves.

2HKOs Zapdos on switch-in, just overall powerful in general.

Choice Scarf
Togekiss @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Air Slash
- Dazzling Gleam

Alternative moves: Aura Sphere over Dazzling Gleam for Heatran coverage.

Trick a scarf onto a wall or outspeed a team and flinch or hit for KOs with coverage from one of your other 2 attacks.

Life Orb
Togekiss @ Life Orb
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 40 HP / 252 SpA / 216 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Air Slash
- Flamethrower
- Aura Sphere
- Roost

Alternative moves: Fire Blast over Flamethrower for more power. Flamethrower still KOs things like Bisharp, Ferro, Skarm, etc.

This is a set I've used myself that I really like! It has more firepower than the Scarf set and allows you to switch between moves which is super useful against Steel. Roost is if you predict a switch or aren't threatened by something in and you need recovery.

Venusaur @ Venusaurite

Alternative move: I wouldn't change a Special!

Grab Curse. Tear through Water, Rock and Ground (if you can!) teams!

LO Attacker
Scolipede @ Life Orb
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 32 Def / 224 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Earthquake
- Megahorn
- Rock Slide

Alternative move: None.

Protect to gain a Speed boost. Has Rock + Ground coverage to handle Steel and Flying and Bug STAB to help against Psychic and Dark. I put the last 32 in to Defense to help with things like Sucker Punch, Bullet Punch, etc. You never know when the last bit could help.

Choice Band
Scolipede @ Choice Band
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Poison Jab
- Earthquake
- Megahorn
- Rock Slide

Alternative move: None. Would recommend Superpower but that makes you switch more often and the point is to come in and sweep since it's hard to get a Speed boost sometimes since there's no Protect.

Similar to the LO set although once you get the Speed boost you try to win there, since it can be difficult without Protect to get one multiple times. Runs Poison Jab over Protect just to have more powerful moves to dish out damage. Rock + Ground and Bug STAB are there for the same reasons as the LO set.

LO Attacker
Gengar @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Dazzling Gleam

Alternative moves: Destiny Bond over Dazzling Gleam. Good for when you know you can't take something out with an attack and I think Gleam is better on a scarf set.

HP Ice beats non-scarf Lando-I. Gleam is for coverage against Dragon, Shadow Ball is for Ghost and Psychic matchups and Focus Blast provides steel coverage.

Choice Scarf
Gengar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Dazzling Gleam

Alternative moves: Sludge Wave over Dazzling Gleam, although Dazzling Gleam has helped me more against Dragon than having more Poison STAB on my team.

Scarf HP Ice combats Scarf Knock Off Lando-T. Also good for mons like DNite as well are they to get to +1 via DDance since ESpeed does not affect Gar. Focus Blast is for Steel coverage and Shadow Ball helps more as STAB against Ghost and Psychic than Sludge Wave. Gleam helps against Dragon against the likes of scarf Hydreigon.

Ahaha. I'd write a bit more but I'm tired and I've been at this awhile. I think I can knock off Poison a bit later. Scizor-Mega is the only thing on Bug I didn't hit; it's been ages since I've used it so I'd like someone who's a bit more fresh with the type than myself to post sets for that. Did some writeups for Fairy and Grass but certainly not all of it.

Aggron-Mega @ Aggronite
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Lonely Nature
- Earthquake/Ice Punch
- Heavy Slam
- Rock Polish / Ice Punch/Rest
- Fire Punch/Fire Blast

Alternate Moves: Fire Blast over Fire Punch to hit scizor and ferro and skarm harder. Ice Punch over EQ for flying coverage. Rest if you don't want to use Rock Polish.

This is a weird set that I originally had on a standard fun rock team in Gen 5, so I decided to bring it back in Gen 6. Since Shuckle get's sticky webs I'd thought it'd be fun to abuse this with Aggron Mega, as it had an oddly unique move-pool. Fire Punch/Blast is for Skarmory, Scizor, and Doublade, Earthquake is for Heatran, Empoleon and Lanturn, but Ice Punch can be added to hurt flying. Rest can be on here too to replace rock polish and make Aggron just an offensive attacker with no speed boost.

On Aggron, may want to consider adding tge lead set as well, twave is great for slowing down fast threats, and fire punch gives you a pretty decent Scizor check.

If I understand this correctly most anyone can submit a set and have it added to the compendium (assuming it is viable). This isn't like some of the past projects where a single person (or a couple people) handle the entire type.

[SirSkit]

I have a few sets that I'd like to add for Rock:

Rock

S Rank

Choice Scarf

Terrakion @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- X-Scissor

Alternate spreads: N/A

A Rank

Physically Defensive

(not much different to what BlackJak posted)
Cradily @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP / 208 Def / 48 SpD
Bold Nature
- Giga Drain
- Recover
- Toxic
- Mirror Coat

The given EV spread lets it avoid a 2HKO from Jolly Breloom and Mega Garchomp, with the rest in Special Defense.

Alternate spreads: 252 HP / 108 Def / 148 SpD w/ Calm Nature if you want a Specially Defensive tank (still has a decent chance to live Landorus's Focus Blast) while avoiding a 2HKO from Jolly regular Garchomp's Earthquake after Stealth Rock.
Alternate moves: Stealth Rock or Earth Power over Mirror Coat

B Rank

Weakness Policy Tank

Rhyperior @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def

- Ice Punch

Weakness Policy lets it OHKO Mega Gallade, Mega Medicham, and Mega Scizor after taking a hit

Alternate spreads: N/A
Alternate moves: Avalanche over Ice Punch, Rock Blast over Stone Edge

Nothing different from the set posted by BlackJak, but definitely put Adamant as an alternate nature

Bulky Cleric

Diancie @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 108 Def / 148 SpD

- Moonblast
- Heal Bell
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

The given EV spread lets Diancie avoid an OHKO from Jolly Mega Medicham after Stealth Rock, with the rest in Special Defense to help take Focus Blasts from Thundurus, Gengar, etc. RestTalk helps keep Diancie around longer. Mainly functions as a decent Fighting-type check.

Alternate spreads: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SpD w/ Bold to avoid the OHKO from Adamant Mega Medicham after Stealth Rock
Alternate moves: Diamond Storm, Earth Power, Trick Room, or Calm Mind over Rest and Sleep Talk. (if you replace Sleep Talk or Rest, take out the other too)

[ChildOfDisorder]

Just one set I'd like to add here:

Clefable (Fairy [Obviously])

Mixed CM Pivot

EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 80 SpA / 64 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Flamethrower
- Soft-Boiled
- Calm Mind

The given spread allows Clefable to live a +2 Bullet Punch from Bulky regular Scizor and then return an OHKO after a Calm Mind, as shown below in the calcs. The Special Defense investment is to round out Clefable's bulk.

+2 44 Atk Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 252 HP / 112+ Def Clefable: 230-272 (58.3 - 69%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Alternate spreads: EVs: Bold 252 HP / 176 Def / 80 SpA, (Slightly increases Clefable's physical bulk if one is confident enough to only rely on CM for SpD).
