nature power offensive whims. The point is that nature power is considered a status move so it gets priority from prankster,, and when nature power is used it defaults into tri attack so basically you have a base 80 special priority move under your belt.

Are you tired of Chandelure switching in? Are you sick of Doublade setting up on you? Why out-speed azelf if you cant even do good damage to it? Well look no further for a great ghost lure because here it is! Shadow Ball Whimiscott is a force to be reckoned with.

Relevant Targets!
  • Chandelure: (67.8 - 79.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
  • Doublade: (57.9 - 68.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
  • Azelf: (74.2 - 87.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Other targets maybe be Fire types, Steel Types, or Poison Types that resist both of Whimsicott's Stabs. Shadowball provides some damage for racking up damage overall. The main reason I made this was for Chandy and Doublade that tend to ruin most of my teams.

Team Mates


These all now benefit even more from SB Whimsicott lure!​
 
Well, after looking through Whimsicott's moves, I've concluded that most of the really effective sets are already pretty common. However, I still think this set is pretty great. I give you Stallbreaker Whimsicott.
Whimsicott @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Taunt/Encore
- Substitute
- Leech Seed
- Moonblast/Giga Drain
If this set seems really annoying, that's because it is. It combines some of the most annoying aspects of Whimsicott's standard Encore sets with the often-forgotten SubSeed one. Combine the two together and you get a surprisingly good stallbreaker. SubSeed Grass-types are notoriously hard to beat for most stall teams because they can steal massive amounts of HP from special walls like Blissey and Umbreon. Combine SubSeed with the support move of your choice, in this case Taunt, and you have something that can shut down a number of passive Pokemon. You can run Encore if you want to have a better matchup against offensive teams, but Taunt helps you beat stall less awkwardly. I'd pick Moonblast for the STAB move in most cases, because it does some damage to Grass-types that are immune to Leech Seed, like Gourgeist and Tangrowth.

I promise you, using this set guarantees a few forfeits on the ladder. Give it a shot!​
