Awkward Sets

Guest

Have you ever noticed any weird sets used nowadays, or some pokemon that learn moves that they simply have no use of learning?
Please tell us about any odd sets you've seen being used, and any absolutely useless sets a Pokemon could have that you can think of

Example;

Once I saw a Gyarados with Flamethrower in a rain team.

Eelektross (M) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Magnet Rise
- Coil
- Volt Switch
- U-turn

Magnet Rise is useful because Electross is weak to Ground. Levitate and Air Balloon are also there to Help with his Ground Weakness. Next, Eelektross can Set Up with Coil so it can attack with either Volt Switch or U-Turn.

Scizor (F) @ Eject Button
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- X-Scissor
- Sunny Day
- Swords Dance

Swords Dance + U-Turn is a famous combo used by many within the Pokémon Metagame. X-Scissor is used because it out-classes Bug Bite (Especially with Technician). Lastly, Sunny Day is there because it makes the battlefield a very nice place to sunbathe. Eject Button is here incase you fall asleep and get sun-burned.

That was pretty hilarious, but U-turn is actually legitimate with SD Scizor, depending on how you plan to use it.

Castform @ blackglasses
ForeCast
Bold nature
252 Hp/252 Def/4 SDef
-Hail
-Sandstorm
-Rain Dance
-Sunny Day

Castform changes type with each weather, but Sandstorm, so, if you lack a fire type, use Sunny Day. Lack a water type? Rain Dance is your friend. Or if you want an Ice type, Hail is there for you. Sandstorm is there to do damage to itself and the opponent, if it is Ice type. Blackglasses make you look extremely cool, and bold nature and EV's let you take hits. This set also guarantees the weathre will be how you like it, so the weather forecast at8 PM will be completely wrong. Useful for winning weather wars!

Dragonite (M) @ Air Mail
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: NONE, But he has a degree in Mailing and Delivering
Modest Nature
- Fling

Remember the Dragonite from the first Pokémon Movie? This is him! His ability is Inner Focus because a Mailman is a job which requires deep skill... He doesn't have any EVs because growing up, he went to Delivery School. He has a Modest Nature because from watching Postman Pat, I have learned that all Mailmen are very kind, humble and don't toot their own horn <3 It has Fling because that's the only way it can pass on that Air Mail in style!
