Can Milotic Sweep, If it is Max Speed?

Question

Is Max speed Milotic (Timid) Fast Enough to sweep in the battle subway or PWT?

Comments

I've taken down many Pokemon with a ResTalk variant.

Answer 1

Honestly, no. While Base 81 Speed is not awful, there are a lot of faster Pokemon out there, not just that you'd be facing, but there are other speedy water type sweepers out there, such as Starmie (Suggested), Sharpedo, Gyarados, Rotom-W, etc. If you want to sweep with Milotic, make it bulky, as it has all the stats of a great tank/bulky sweeper. Recover will be a must. If you want a fast water sweeper, go for Starmie, which has same amount od SAtk, but the ability to outspeed most other Pokemon when at max speed, while packing a large punch with it's amazing movepool.

If you want a bulky but slow sweeper: Go for max HP max SAtk Milotic

If you want a fast coverage sweeper: Go for max Spd max SAtk Starmie (Timid)

Answer 2

At level 50, Milotics speed ranges from 77 - 146 (150 - 287 al level 100). I have a Milotic that has 132 speed and I realized that even that amount of speed is enough to outspeed many Pokemon. Then Milotics special attack ranges from 94 - 167 at level 50, which may not be enough, so its a much better choice to have a defencive milotic than an offencive milotic. You can try to keep a balance if you want by teaching it powerful moves such as hydro pump. I hope this helps! -Jellohamster (btw, eeveelution, this is edited and there was a slight answer change,so you may deselect this if you do not like this)
