I. Love. This Butterfree.
These are words I thought I would never say.
There is one very simple reason for this: Compoundeyes. A typically overlooked ability- increases Accuracy by 30%, who cares? WAITAMINUTE. Sleep Powder's accuracy is 75%. 75x1.3= 97.5% accuracy sleep move. [b]Butterfree basically has Spore.[/b] It also has a base speed to match Breloom- but one thing Breloom doesn't have, the ability to boost its own speed (and special attack, and special defense) in the form of the wicked Butterfly Dance. To use it is not unlike Breloom. Come in one something that you're faster then. Put it to sleep with almost no risk, get your sub up for safety, and dance. After a single Butterfly Dance, your speed reaches 393, meaning you're faster than nearly everything. Add that onto your near guaranteed sleep move, sub for back up, and you're free to set up. Giga Drain is the move of choice to buffer your health between subs if Leftovers while your enemies snore aren't enough.

If anyone posts a second send [i]that is accepted onto the site[/i] for Butterfree, it's a triple bonus ($R 150)

In order to be considered a separate set, it must have significantly different EVs from the previous sets, and at least one different move, OR at least three different moves, AND be deemed competitively viable in its given or proposed tier or higher.

Butterfree (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Compoundeyes
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Sleep Powder
- Stun Spore
- Bug Buzz
- U-turn

Something that's made to come in and out in rapid succession many times that has a x4 weakness to Stealth Rock.. What could possibly go wrong?!
That said, despite this set obviously needs a spinner to be used in tandem with it, when it's allowed to work, it can easily incapacitate 1/3 or more of a team by simply putting things to sleep or paralysing them with its cuteness. With Compoundeyes, both powders make it to 97.5% accuracy, practically making them Spore and Ground-hitting Thunder Wave respectively. U-turn is almost a must on anything that has a choice scarf for scouting purposes, and to make it able to revenge kill things like Celebi, we may as well teach it how to buzz!
