Hey guys. Vash again. I think I'll do a thread for as many team roles as I can think of, so for right now, this thread will focus on Special Sweepers.

Who's YOUR special sweeper? Why do you like it? Show your moveset and EVs if you can please. What sweepers do you recommend? Should special sweepers be Specs or Scarfed? Etc. This is mainly to help people who don't know what they should use and to see everyone's preferences in sweepers. :)

Venusaur@Life Orb

Modest nature (+SpA/-Atk)
Chlorophyll
24 HP / 252 SpA / 232 Spe
- Energy Ball
- Sludge Bomb
- HP Fire
- Growth

This is one of my sweepers when i use a sun team Growth gets +2 in the sun not only that it can take some good hits and its fast in the soun making it very dangerous.

Cool set. My Sun Sweeper is Victreebel.

Victreebel@Life Orb
Modest Nature (+Sp.Atk, -Atk)
Ability: Chlorophyll
252 Sp. Atk/ 252 Speed/ 6 HP
-Solar Beam
-Sludge Bomb
-Weather Ball
-Growth

That +2 Sp. Atk boost in the sunshine is to die for, and once it's up, you can sweep with the move of your choice. Weather Ball becomes a Base 150 Fire Type move which is pretty good.

Yeah, I'll get to making those in a bit. I just don't wanna get yelled at by a mod saying "This belongs in General Pokemon Discussion! This thread is closed!" :(

Reuniclus = The Best Sp. att sweaper !!!

noh! the best sp. atk sweeper is mismagius
reason being

nature modest
item life orb
moves
nasty plot/calm mind
shadow ball
thunderbolt/hp fighting
will-o-wisp
reason why its the best? base 105 sp atk sp def and speed aint nothing to mess with for a sp attker and will-o-wisp ruins physical sweepers which is what your opponent will use to counter mismagius. shadow ball is amazing after a nasty plot and life orb
thunderbolt is a good move and so is hp fighting
