Mine knows:

Attack Order: One of Vespiquen's signature moves. Good power, high accuracy, STAB, good chance for a critical hit.

Aerial Ace: Decent power, doesn't miss, STAB.

Power Gem: Decent power, high accuracy, used to deal with Fire, Flying, and Ice types.

Toxic: Inflicts toxic poison. Vespiquen has pretty good defensive stats.

Vespiquen
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Bold/Impish
EVs: 252 Defense, 252 S.Defense, 6 S.Attack/HP/Attack


Defend-order

Heal-order

Toxic

Protect(HP EVs) or Attack-order(Attack EVs) or Hidden-power(Ground)(S.Attack EVs)


Defend-order makes you very bulky after a couple of uses making this bug hard to take down without a Rock type move. Heal-order is reliable healing. Toxic is status. Protect is for awesome poison-stalling, it even helps with Pressure-stalling, Attack-order would be for Physical STAB while Hidden-power(Ground) would be Steel and Poison type coverage. The main problem Vespiquen has is that it has terrible typing for a wall, you are going to have to watch out for Rock types, Stone-edge is your biggest issue as it has high critical chance and criticals ignore your stat ups, if you come across a Pokemon with Stone-edge either get out of their or try to Pressure+Protect stall them into running out of Stone-edge PP and hope they miss between turns(switching is better though).

1) How is this stalling??
2) Look at the other answers, then look at yours. You are missing EVs, Natures, Items, etc.
Ok, it's organize, but you need EVs. I don't know if you know what that is, but it is essential for Competative Play. Also, just put Toxic. Confuse Ray does not compare.
Not all movesets have to be competitive.

This is truely an unfortunate Pokemon. One of the sturdiest RU Pokemon cursed with a 4x weakness to Rock. But there is hope!

Vespiquen @ Leftovers
Pressure
Impish
252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 SpD

Roost
Substitute
Toxic
Attack Order

This set helps to keep her alive as long as possible. Substitute is a great move to hide behind. Roost takes the edge off Rock type moves. Toxic helps the rest of the team in unimaginable ways, well ot really. And Attack Order is her strongest STAB move that will keep her from becoming taunt bait.
