Whimsicott? Whimsicott!

(Erufuun) (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Mischievous Heart
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
IVs: 0 HP
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Encore
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Hurricane

Maxed defenses and absolute minimum HP are basically a standard on any Sub-Seeder, which forms the basis of this combo. With clever prediction, however, priority encore allows you to get the jump when switching into set-up pokemon, or even absorbing statuses repeatedly with a sub's support. Hurricane is there to take out opposing grass types. Even with no SpA investment, a 120 base power flying move does a number. Use with Rain to get the never-miss bonus!

Dangerous Li'l Ball of Fluff

Whimsicott (M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Chlorophyll / Prankster
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) / Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Giga Drain / Grass Knot / SolarBeam
- Hurricane / Hidden Power [Fire]
- Hidden Power [Fighting] / Shadow Ball
- Switcheroo

77 base Special Attack isn't much, but Whimsicott still knows how to be a pain in the ass with it. Here's a set of offense. It's essentially a hit and run kind of deal. This dude is about as hit-and-run as they come. Why so many options? Well, the moves you ought to choose vary vastly with which weather you are running with Whimsicott, or if you're even running weather at all. Even the ability choice comes down to the weather, as obviously you wouldn't have [b]Chlorophyll[/b] on a rain team, you'd have [b]Prankster[/b]. Of course, Prankster might be more useful for priority trade-off of [b]Choice Specs[/b] to really screw up that Conkeldurr (and whatever else may be thrown at it, like Blaziken). [b]Giga Drain [/b]is a universal choice regardless of weather, but you could run [b]Grass Knot[/b] to make it a better lead or [b]SolarBeam[/b] for more consistent damage in sunlight. [b]Hidden Power [Fire] [/b]is the move choice to abuse sun; likewise for [b]Hurricane[/b] in rain. [b]Hidden Power [Fighting] [/b]gets some fancy coverage with Hurricane,while [b]Shadow Ball[/b] will be for Chandelure and when you have [Fire] as your Hidden Power choice. [b]Switcheroo[/b] gets rid of your fancy glasses in favor of crippling a wall like Blissey.
