Answer 1

Gen V

Volbeat (M) @ Focus Sash

Trait: Prankster

EVs: 252 HP / 4 SDef / 252 Spd

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

• Baton Pass
• Tail Glow
• Substitute
• Thunder Wave

Answer 2

Volbeat @ Iron Ball

Trait: Prankster

EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD

Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)

• Trick
• Tail Glow
• Baton Pass
• Encore/Substitute

Prankster bypasses the speed drop made by Iron Ball, so Trick can be used first to give the opponent it.
Tail Glow boosts SpA, only to be Baton Passed by Baton Pass though.
Encore may give Volbeat a free setup of some sort, but Substitute can be Baton Passed as well and if it manages to set it up safely.

Answer 3

Volbeat @ Leftovers / Light clay
Nature - Impish - EVS: 252 HP - 252 Defense - 4 Special defense
Ability - Prankster

Thunder Wave
U-Turn
Light Screen
TailWind

Thunder Wave puts some status onto your opponent, which will annoy them and be super useful. U-Turn let's you run away and give the role to another Pokemon after you've done your job. Like using Tailwind to support other team mates with higher speed, or using Light screen to give defensive boosts to other team members.

Answer 4

@ @
Volbeat @ Leftovers | Prankster
Careful | 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 Atk | Shiny

Toxic | Substitute | Quick Attack | Roost

---

This is one of those weird set's I came up with a while ago. It's pretty simple Toxic Stall. Start of with a Substitute only if you predict a Switch, then as the opponent Switches, use Toxic to wear their HP down, slowly but surely. Then if you think there is going to be an Attack, then Sub again. If not, then Roost up. Quick Attack is just a filler move for when your opponent is on really low HP and you can OHKO them.

Volbeat@ focus sash
ability: prankster
nature: +speed -att
EV's: 252 speed/ 252 hp/ 4 sp def
tail glow
thunder wave
confuse ray
baton pass
The idea is to paralyze and confuse, then use tail glow (hopefully twice). Then, you baton pass and sweep away the enemy.
