Bushs OU Tier Competitive Pokemon Guide

[Goldeneyes]

You're better off investing in Health than defenses. 

[GBush]

Why Should I do 140EVs on speed?
LVL 50: Marowark 45 Spd-Base reaches 106SPD (if its jolly)
and the next faster pokemon that is available here has got 48Base Speed (110Spd in total)
Metagross Adamant 132Spd-EV = 107 Spd and 140Spd-EV = 108 Spd
so is it to be faster than a 132SPD-EV metagross or are your calculations for lvl 100 Battles?

I was doing calcs to out speed rhydon and marowak. But I've seen lots of builds lately with high HP investment s. I changed the recommended set.

Here's a good medicham set:

 

Medicham

Ivs and Evs: 252 Atk, 252 spe, 4 HP

Moveset:

• High jump kick

• Fire punch

[DaftKitteh]

Ludicolo

Ability: Swift Swim

Item: Leftovers

Nature: Adamant

EV's: Attack: 252, hit at least 101 speed and the rest in HP

Moveset:

*Thunderpunch

*Waterfall

*Swords Dance

*Rain Dance

If you manage to get a Swords Dance and a Rain Dance out Waterfall is going to do some serious damage to everything.  It's really fun but I haven't used it much cause it's kinda frail and needs 2 turns to set up, and still only 2hkos a lot of things.
 

Dragonite

Ability: inner focus

Nature: Modest / Mild

EVs: Mine is 252 HP 252 Sp Atk, but speed can be added to outspeed whatever threats.
Moveset:
*Thunderbolt

*Ice Beam

*Substitute

*Focus Punch
0- Atk Dragonite Focus Punch vs. 0 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 228-270 (69 - 81.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Even modest focus punch hurts blissey which would otherwise completely stop sp atk nite.  Mainly this setup is to surprise people.
Alternatively I want to try superpower instead of focus punch, but haven't gotten around to it.

EDIT : Innerfocus is the only ability for dnite, thanks draekyn o/

0 hp blissey o.O

[GBush]

0 hp blissey o.O

The instance this would be used is if they are running a calm mind set. But I do all my calcs for walls having 252 in all defences with sp def & def nature. Edited February 12, 2015 by GBush

[MrSeverO]

lol swellow dont got rights to a spoiler xD

[DaftKitteh]

0 hp blissey o.O

didn't pay attention to the sets I was calcing against,
0 Atk Dragonite Focus Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 256-302 (70.7 - 83.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

In this case it'd probably be better to run superpower since focus punch is only gonna work once and,

0 Atk Dragonite Superpower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 204-242 (56.3 - 66.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
-1 0 Atk Dragonite Superpower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 136-162 (37.5 - 44.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

two superpowers will do like 93 - 110% damage or something if you take into account that every time you superpower it does - 1 attack and defense

EDIT : lel dragonite got banned

[GBush]

Well, I updated this and it looks fairly completed now.

I put in stats for everything and was wondering if it could get moved to guide tavern?

Mods? 

[Noad]

Moved to the main guide forum and added to the guide tavern index. I also removed the word "official" from the title so people do not think this is a staff made guide. 

[xXDarkKnightXx]

That shout out doe. CiX master race

[GAMBlT]

Is there a version of this for doubles? Id love to play but know nothing about it.
