I have claimed Butterfree!

There are numerous sets for Swampert but the set I'd go for would be this:
Swampert@Leftovers
Torrent
Relaxed Nature
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SpA
~ Earthquake
~ Ice Beam
~ Stealth Rock/Boiling Water
~ Roar
If you already have someone who provides SR on your team use boiling water and vice versa.

I have been testing out a Scarfzor set, and it has been doing rather well.
Scizor (F) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Technician/Swarm
Nature: Jolly (+Spe, -SpA)
EVs: 40 HP/252 Atk/216 Spe
- U-turn
- Iron Head
- Pursuit
- Superpower
The EVs are to outspeed Timid Starmie. I can't decide if I should use Technician, as only Pursuit is boosted.
EDIT: For Swampert, go with this set.
Swampert @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
Nature: Relaxed (+Def, -Spe)
EVs: 240 HP/216 Def/52 SpD
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake
- Scald/Superpower/Roar

Kyogre = powerful = Scizor = Bug/Steel = Durant = BL2 = Venomoth = Baton Passer = Smeargle = Low stats = Magikarp = Water-typed = Kyogre. Therefore, Kyogre = Magikarp.

It's very simple.Originally Posted by magikarprules
Replace Iron Head with Bullet Punch and run technician.
U-turn is also boosted.
For the rest it seems like a great set.
No one would expect you to outspend things like Starmie so it could really work.
Crit Happens.
U-turn is base 70; only 60 and below are boosted.
Go for Technician to boost Pursuit, but keep Iron Head. You've already got speed covered if you outrun Timid Starmie, so go for power over priority.

Iron Head can flinch things too, which is useful in a pinch. If all else fails, nothing wrong with trying to maximize your chances to win.
Johto Champion
I think priority is more useful than a slim chance of flinching.
Though priority loses most of its usefulness on a choice scarfer.
It's all up to him which he likes best.

Ever since the generation shift, I've been seeing fewer and fewer Metagross. Lately, I've wanted to use Metagross and try something a little...different, I suppose. I noticed some people using an interesting specially defensive Choice Band Tyranitar, and I've wondered if Metagross could perform a similar function while utilizing its amazing resistances and slightly higher power to its advantage. This is what I came up with.
Metagross@Choice Band
Careful
Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP, 4 Atk, 252 SpD
Moves:
-Meteor Mash
-Hammer Arm
-Pursuit
-Bullet Punch
I know a CB set with a neutral Atk nature and only 4 Atk EVs seems weird, but this set attempts to capitalize on Metagross's great typing and bulk while still keeping in check with its impressive attacking power. This bulky set is tailored to hit Pokemon like Latios and Starmie with Pursuit when they switch, which OHKOs on both with Stealth Rock and sometimes without on Latios, usually on Starmie. Normally people may stay in and try to wear Metagross down with their special attacks, but the opponent will probably switch when they realize that their Specs Latios isn't even guaranteed a 3HKO with Surf. The other moves just...do what Metagross usually does, I guess. Even with the lack of Atk EVs, this thing still hits about 460 Atk with the Choice Band equipped, so it's not weak by any means.
It's probably crap (or at least outclassed for the most part by TTar) but I just thought I'd throw this out there. :P

Exactly, which is why Iron Head > Bullet Punch in this case.

Alomomola (Impish) @ Leftovers
Healer
108HP 176Def 224SpD (EV's taken from Smogon)
Soak
Heal Pulse
Toxic
Protect
One of the most important members of my current team, Alomomola is there to use Soak on my Rhydon or Dusclops, and use Heal Pulse to keep it alive for as long as possible, with Toxic and Protect pairing well with Soak to poison anything and attempt to stall it out. What I need help with are the EV's, I want a good HP stat to allow Heal Pulse to heal as much as I can, but I don't know whether sacrificing it's defenses is a good idea, any help is appreciated, thanks.

You're complete taunt bait, so consider adding atleast 1 attack.

i dont have a stealth rocker or scalder, but considering Swampert's already huge physical bulk, the burn effect from scald wouldnt do much, so I think im gonna go with stealth rock
Stealth rock is also awesome with roar too.

Replace what with what though? It's a Gimmick strategy, whether I have an attacking move or not Taunt will still shut it down, i'll consider any suggestions but i'd like some first. I did consider having Scald as an attacking move but I removed it because I needed other moves for my Gimmick, I could remove Toxic as I have another pokemon that uses it... i'm rather indecisive.
Johto Champion
I would go with Stealth Rock in your case swell.
This Swampert set is best as a lead btw.

Mamoswine @ Choice Band
Nature: Jolly / Adamant
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP
-Ice Shard
-Icicle Crash
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
How would something like this work as a revenge killer? I'm trying to decide between this or a Scizor as a revenge killer, but I'd like something with a bit more kick than a Scizor. The problem is, while Mamoswine is a superior CB sweeper, Scizor is the superior revenge killer, and that's the first focus of the set, with the ability to actually stay in battle being secondary.

Take out Heal Pulse, unless you're using Doubles. If not Doubles, I suggest running Scald, as it allows for Burn Chance.

Could you name some pokemon you would outspeed in your battle environment? that would help determine the nature you would use. The moves are not a problem. as for EVs...if speed is not an issue, 252 HP to take hits better while revenging.
