REGISTEEL (no cool nickname, but I'm considering Registall)
- Toxic
- Protect
- Curse
- Iron Head
The world's best toxic staller. I added this guy to my team after I beat the Elite Four. Toxic wears down on the opponent, regardless of defenses (unless they're Steel or Poison). Protect helps keep the stall going. Curse increases physical bulk while raising the power of Iron Head, which deals a TON of damage when he's at +6. I give him Leftovers, as all good walls should have.
Smugleaf
- Leaf Storm
- Leaf Blade
- Return
- Growth
If I have time to use Growth, then it powers up all my moves. Then I can go ahead Leaf Storm if I'm up against a strong opponent. If I need to keep going, then Leaf Blade isn't affected by the SpAtk drop. Return is powerful and gives plenty of neutral coverage.
Slippy
- Rain Dance
- Strength
- Earthquake
- Surf
Rain Dance activates Swift Swim while simultaneously powering up Surf. Earthquake is there for secondary STAB, and Strength provides neutral coverage where it is needed. He's also the bulkiest pokemon on my team and can last a while. He's the one I use when I need to dispatch an Electric type.
Broodonkus
- Acrobatics
- Rock Slide
- Fly
- U-Turn
I hate to have two flying-type moves on this guy, but I have to fly on something, right? Acrobatics is crazy powerful when he isn't holding anything, which he isn't. Rock Slide isn't as powerful for a secondary STAB, but it's more accurate than Stone Edge. Accuracy is everything with this guy, since one miss could activate Defeatist if I give the foe a chance to strike back. U-turn gets me out of there.
Mienshao (no cool nickname, so sad)
- Meditate
- Hi-Jump Kick
- Acrobatics
- U-turn
This guy is the world's best Liepard counter. Liepard comes out and uses Fake Out on him, but luckily, he has Inner Focus so he hits right back with a Hi-Jump Kick. Down and out. Acrobatics doesn't get STAB, but it's still pretty darn powerful and gets some nice coverage. U-turn gets me out of there. I hardly ever have time to use Meditate.
Enfuego
- Quiver Dance
- Heat Wave
- Bug Buzz
- Psychic
I did not get this one in the Relic Castle. I raised it from the Larvesta egg. He's the star of my team. Quiver Dance raises all the right stats in all the right places. Heat Wave and Bug Buzz make a great STAB combo. Psychic rounds it off by destroying Fighting types, Poison types, and Toxicroak.
Honorable mention:
I used all these in my team at one point. I traded away my Panpour, since I had Slippy instead. I used Sawk until I got Mienfoo in a GTS negotiation trade. BlueEye was from the trade in Driftveil, and it was pretty awesome. However, I didn't need more water types. Klinklang (nicknamed Gigagear) was on my team when I beat the elite four the first time. I figured out soon after that Registeel was a better Toxic staller, though.
