There's too many people on /vp/ to not have a thread for discussing fun and unusal movesets for pokemon.
This doesn't have to be the peak of OU, but let's not have shit that only works when fighting babies.

I had a lot of success using this set for my Rotom-W

Rotom-Wash @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Rest

It's a little unconventional, but it gets the job done

Baby-Doll Eyes has priority so you can get your opponent down to -2 Atk within the first turn.

furfrou would work just as well, if not better, but here's the thing......I like stoutland more than furfrou. I am making a full dog team though so having both on my team is gonna happen eventually.

Silver wind gets that oh so sexy technician + stab boost and a chance to raise all stats, HP ground gets rid of things like heatran and excadrill, flash cannon kills fairies and air slash for coverage.

Modest, 134 HP/ 252 Sp. Atk/ 124 Speed

Overheat/Hydro Pump/Blizzard/Leaf Storm

Not sure why people use S to setup screens when it outspeeds OU and is a decent special sweeper. I've seen it posted here before though.

Naive Nature
- Rock Climb
- Fire Blast/Blizzard
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide

This is actually Tauros' standard set, but it works better in OU than you'd think since it can get past a lot of physical walls by going mixed. With Sheer Force, Rock Climb has the power of Double-Edge and Rock Slide has the power of Stone Edge

The Special Attack EVs give it just enough power to 1HKO Scizor with Fire Blast or Gliscor with Blizzard.

This thing is annoying as fuck but fun to use. I generally Fake Out on the first turn. Poison Touch has been the bane of many, they generally expect Dry Skin on it. I could usually shut down Mega Lucario via Fake Out and then Drain Punch on the next turn.

I would love to fit Rock Slide on my XL Gourgeist. It would be glorious to watch tank any of Talonflame's STABs and then OHKO with Rock Slide, but I cant seem to fit it into his moveset. Any ideas for which one of these four to drop?

It works pretty well situationally, and if the person you're against is using predictable sets.

I'd rather use something like Power-Up Punch or Recover instead of Snatch. It is a fun set to use, though, even if I never won many battles with it.

The only thing I have against those is that his speed is abysmal, but either could probably work. Kecleon is also pretty decent in Trick Room. I just like Snatch to use against Pokes like Volcarona that you know will try to buff themselves.
