Mine is similar to trachy's:
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Recover

Pretty standard moveset, really - Water and Ice type moves cover all bases with at least regular effectiveness (except for Water itself). Dragon Pulse is powerful but adds no advantage if you already have Ice Beam.

Is everybody now asking these questions? :)

Surf: Great power and accuracy, STAB
Ice Beam: Great power and accuracy, used to deal with Grass types
Dragon Pulse: Good power, great accuracy
Attract or Toxic: Either one inflicts a powerful status condition.

Milotic

This is a pretty annoying set I see a lot in UU.

Suggested Nature:Calm

Suggested item: leftovers

Suggested ability: marvel scale

  • Rest: Gets rid of damage and status.
  • Sleep Talk:Works with rest.
  • Scald:STAB; offers a chance to burn.
  • Dragon Tail:Used for pokemon that can counter milotic.

Staller Milotic

Milotic - Bold Nature (^Def -Atk) #Leftovers
+ 252 HP EVs / 200 Def EVs / 58 Sp Atk EVs

  • Toxic

  • Scald

  • Recover

  • Protect/Ice Beam (Depending on whether you want an extra attack or an extra turn of stall for Leftovers and Toxic)

Since you have Toxic, replace Scald with Surf.
Why not give her a Flame Orb to activate her ability?? You dont have any physical attacks, so you wont suffer from the attack drop.

lol wat
Milotic @ Choice Specs/Life Orb

Trait: Marvel Scale

EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA

Modest Nature (+SpA, -Atk)

  • Hydro Pump/Surf
  • Ice Beam
  • Hidden Power Grass/Hidden Power Electric
  • Dragon Pulse/Recover

Hydro Pump is STAB, and is very powerful. If you have had some nasty surprises with 80 accuracy moves, Surf is a solid aternative.
Ice Beam hits Grass types hard, and gets good coverage along with the Water move.
Hidden Power Grass hits Lanturn, Swampert and Quagsire while Hidden Power Electric hits Empoleon and both hits Water types for nice damage.
Dragon Pulse hits Kingdra hard, while Recover is excellent healing.
If you use Specs, Dragon Pulse should probably be used because Milotic will be locked into Recover if it's using Specs.
Life Orb should be used with Recover, but if your team needs a solid move for Kingdra Dragon Pulse is a decent alternative.
Also, a sprea of 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid is an option if you would like to just max out speed, and works well with life orb.

Good stalling Milotic.

Recommended Nature- Calm
Recommended Item- Leftovers
Recommended Ability- Marvel Scale

  • Substitute- It will make it that much harder to KO
  • Recover- Good for tight situations
  • Aqua Ring- Will do additional healing each turn
  • An attack of your choice. (Water Pulse is a good move to have as it has a decent chance to confuse the target.)

It will be very difficult to KO if it isn't KO'd on the first turn.

i'd like to point out that scald also works in the place of water pulse for any using this set.

Milotic@Leftovers
Ability:Marvel Scale
Evs:96Hp/160SpAtk/252SpDef
Nature:Modest
-Surf
-Ice beam
-Mirror Coat
-Recover

Modest nature is for sweeping but Milotic can wall special hits also. Surf for stab and Ice beam for good coverage except water types. Mirror coat is to destroy special attackers since it will most likely not get KOed even by a stab super effective move. Then recover those damages taken and repeat this process over and over to kill special attackers. Predictability is important here, might not work all the time.
