After beating E4 and obtaining National Dex, I started to train up various Pkmn for possible future Wi-fi battles I may be in. I've got various Physical Sweepers, but not many Special Sweepers. My only Sp. Sweeps are Gengar, Gastrodon, and (may not use much, since it's considered Uber) Latias.

Can anyone please suggest any good Sp.Sweepers I could train up besides the ones just mentioned? Thanks in future :wink:

Well you could train a Porygon-Z, Alakazam, Lucario, or Starmie as special sweepers. :)

Well, I, already said I've trained a Gengar up, so there's something you didn't read :P
Porygon-Z and Alakazam are both good from what I've seen, but I have to find an Abra and a Porygon with reasonable natures, then have to trade them
to evolve them (that's TWICE for Porygon :shock: )

But thanks for your ideas :P... Anyone else?

Did you say Gastrodon as a SWEEPER?
Basically, those are the most OU special sweepers in the game... Infernape will work well too, Especially as a mixed sweeper.

apparently, according to this topic, you don't. But if you need help with natures, try using the Everstone trick

Basically not a trick, give an everstone to the mommy and there's a 50% chance the baby will have the same nature as it. :wink:

A good Special sweeper would be Salamence. But there are plenty of other PKMN you could use instead.

you could try togekiss, which has a pretty nasty spec. att, and a good moveset.

Togekiss @ Kings rock
Timid | Serene Grace
252 Sp Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
~Shadow ball
~Air Slash (this is like a 60 [+kings rock] percent flinch rate)
~Aura Sphere
~Roost

also has a good spec def. which always helps

Well, Mewtwo is an uber, so I don't know if that would count.

Starmie, Porygon-Z, and Espeon would be three of my suggestions. Starmie has high speed, Porygon-Z has high Sp. Atk, and Espeon has a mix between the two, though perhaps not the best of movepools. I would recommend any of them.

While Starmie has good Spd, it's SpA is low compared to Alakazam and Porygon-Z. Mewtwo is uber, and only useful on an uber team.

lol... Gastradon. You have to be joking.

Do either Starmie or Porygon-Z. I suggest Porygon-Z since he learns all atributes and he has no weaknesses since he's of the Normal type. Don't listen to the Lucario kids.

He's not that bad. Flash fire is always fun to use and he makes a decent (not the best though) mixed sweeper.

l use Charizard, Lucario and plan to use Gardevoir and Walrein l think they are good special sweepers.(lf you use them all together)
Charizard also doesnt have to learn a physical move, cause it has Air Slash that is special and also this team owns when you make double battles(Tower or else)Lucario also learn much special moves and has a good special attack. Gardevoir sucks with physical anyway and can learn thunderbolt, this lowers your need of an electric pkmn and Walrein...lts my lucky pokemon :wink: Also the ability(other than thick fat) heals it in hail. Use hail and give it leftovers, You wont lose health lol.lts also water ice so no weak against fire.Just the prob is its speed...

Well this is what I do:

Gengar @ Focus Sash
Modest 255 Sp.Atk, 255 Spd
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast
Destiny Bond

Gengar would most likely go first and attack, if you get hit by psychic or some other super effective you would at least survive with 1 HP thanks to focus sash. If you know your first move did enough damage to KO then use it again if not go straight Destiny Bond. If you KO'd the the pokemon then all you have to do is use Destiny Bond on the next pokemon and you've taken care of 2 pokemon already or if you think you can, you could KO the pokemon if you have its weakness and then use Destiny Bond on the 3rd and so you could go on.
