These move set questions are here just to be able to have a whole database of different move sets for every pokemon. Pokemaster has a set that he wanted to share, so he posted it as an answer. These questions are for the whole community, not just for Pokemaster.

Answer 2

I don't know what's up with you guys; this thing is friggin' awesome!

Whimsicott

Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 Def/248 Sp. Def/8 Spd
Nature: Bold/Impish

Substitute - With Prankster, this will almost always go first, meaning you'll rarely take a hit.

Leech Seed - Completes the very stock SubSeed strategy.

Taunt - Great for other Whimsicott that'll try to set up on you.

Encore - Perfect for any sweeper that tries to set up on you. Can you say infinite Dragon Dance?

Answer 3

Whimsicott (F) @ Red Card

Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Cotton Guard
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Taunt

Answer 4

I'm going to use my Whimsicott as a support when he's reach level 100, and these are the moves I plan to use. He wasn't specially bred or anything, but unfortunately I wasn't able to give him encore, but I'd prefer it instead of Leech Seed.

Ability: Prankster
Toxic (To help wear the enemies down)
Substitute (to stop Whimsicott from getting attacked)
Leech Seed (To revive Whimsicott's HP after Substitute)
Psychic/Energy Ball (Haven't decided yet, Energy Ball is a good special grass attack for a grass pokemon, but Psychic will be strong against fighting/poison types which tend to do a lot of damage to my team)

Answer 5

Whimsicott (F) @ Focus Sash

Trait: Prankster

EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SDef

Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)

• Taunt
• Leech Seed
• Substitute
• Protect

You've likely faced this little guy. As such, you know what these moves are for.

Answer 6

A Pokemon that would be horrible if it wasn't for Mischeivous Heart, meaning it is now just bad (which is better than horrible.)

Ability: Mischeivous Heart

EVs: Sp Attack, Sp Def, Def Nature: Bold

Encore: Perfect. Perfect. Just perfect.

Giga Drain: Damage combined with healing.

Hidden Power Rock: I'm going to start suggesting this now. I've found out how to get it the way I want easily. I am so happy.

Psychic: Deals with Poison types.

Comments

Trachy, Whats mischevious heart? I dont think that is a possible ability.

The name for Prankster before it was translated.

oh sorry.

Answer 7

Hihihi... Nice support, it seems

Prankster:

Leech Seed

Giga Drain

Tailwind

Stun Spore / Endeavor / HP Rock

Answer 8

encore leech seed energy ball and tailwind go with a timid nature and i guess put his ev's in both defenses and in speed but watever he is kinda known for being an annoying staller but sets up the team with tailwind pretty well

Answer 9

Whimsicott
Item:Leftovers
Prankster
Nature: Calm (+SDef -Attack)
EVs: 252 SDef, 252 HP and 4 Speed
Substitue
Leech Seed
Cotton Guard
Giga Drain/HP Rock/Toxic

So what I do is send Whimsicott against a Physical Attacker and use Cotton Guard twice so his defense will be really high and he'll be able to take many hits. Next, I use Substitute and then Leech Seed so he'll get Leftovers and Leech Seed which is awesome. For the last move there are a few options Giga Drain for STAB and health regeneration with Leftovers and Leech Seed which is super duper or HP Rock for coverage and last but not least Toxic to slowly but painfully kill your opponent with Leech Seed. I like using Giga Drain just in case I get Taunted but the other moves work well too.

Comments

I love this strategy! I'm going to make one with Giga Drain and try it out.

Answer 10

Whimsicott @ leftovers

Ability: Prankster Role: Staller

EVs: 252 def/252 Sdef/ 4 HP Nature: Calm

• Substitute
• Toxic
• Taunt
• Protect/Giga Drain/Psychic

if you are worried about being taunted use Giga Drain or Psychic.

Answer 11

Fun in the Sun Sweeper

Item: Leftovers
Nature: Modest
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 60 Speed, 252 S.Attack, 198 Hp

---

Growth
Solar-beam
Psychic
HP(Fire)

---

Growth Boosts your S.Attack(and Attack but that is not important here) by two stages in the sun. Solar-beam is very Strong STAB. Psychic is for coverage. HP(Fire) is for coverage and is boosted by the sun.

Answer 12

@ Flame Orb
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Taunt
- Switcheroo
- Cotton Guard
- Charm / Giga Drain

---

Impenetrable Physical Wall.
Switcheroo burns, while Cotton Guard raises Def to the max in 2 turns, while taunt destroys other taunters when they switch in. Charm is to lower Atk even further, or Giga Drain provides a way of healing, and makes you not a total taunt bait.

Answer 13

Sacrifice

Item: Focus-sash
Ability: Prankster
Nature: Timid/Jolly
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 Hp, 4 Defense

---

Taunt

Stun-spore

Encore

Memento

---

This is a great Pokemon to use to set the stage for a Stat booster or a Pokemon that makes use of Subs. Taunt prevents the foe from setting up any hazards or statuses that could potentially foil the strategy. Stun-spore is great for crippling and it works on all types. Encore one of the most annoying moves in the universe. And finally Memento you half the offense of the opponent then go to a Pokemon that can boost while your foe is busy swearing about his now nearly useless Pokemon. While normally after you use Memento the opponent will switch out but remember you still get in a boost on the turn they switch and they have a paralyzed Pokemon and did not get a chance to set up their hazards.

Answer 14

Whimsicott (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Cotton Guard
- Leech Seed
- Toxic
- Protect

Taunt is a problem, but really.. it's predictable enough to switch out on.
Cotton Guard will pretty much always go first ( prankster ) so you're set for bulky defenses.
Leech Seed and Toxic will slowly kill your opponent ( while Leech Seed feeds you back HP )
Protect stalls out Leech seed, Toxic, AND Leftovers.

Answer 15

I am sooo bored. Anyways that is of no relevant use here. This is my favorite set for the cotton ball.

Whimsicott @ Leftovers
Prankster
Jolly
128 HP/ 252 Def/ 128 SpD
Substitute
Toxic
Tailwind
U-Turn

Only really meant for Tailwind support. But with Prankster, he does a marvelous job. His EVs allow his to take a hit whike setting up, then with Tailwind support, he is sure to U-Turn before they hit him unless they have priority. Toxic makes a fearsome pair with Prankster as well, cause if you wall the opponent, one Sub and a Toxic can turn the tables on them.

Answer 16

Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 Sp. Def , 10 Carbos, 10 Calcium, 1 HP Up
Nature: Calm
Item: Leftovers

Mine mixes attacking and defending.

Moves:

Cotton Guard: set up def
Leech Seed: recover with Leftovers
Giga Drain: recover and attack at same time, nasty with high defenses and recover HP total of 3 times a turn max in single battles
Hurricane: for grass, who resists Giga Drain and immune to Leech Seed
