Alphabet Tier Sets #1

I thought I'd share some of the more powerful and useful sets I've found with Nintega while testing the tier. Feel free to use these if you'd like!


Metagross @ Muscle Band
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Meteor Mash
- Megahorn
- Milk Drink
- Mach Punch

An extremely powerful sweeper. With Muscle Band, Metagross starts off already hitting hard. Send him out against an opponent who's low on HP and go for Mach Punch to finish them off and get your Moxie boost. Meteor Mash and Megahorn become your main attacking moves from this point on but of course Mach Punch's priority makes it useful as well. Finally, Milk Drink heals you when you get low on HP. He can last a long time while doing tons of damage.


Igglybuff @ Ice Gem
Ability: Imposter
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Iron Tail
- Ice Shard
- Inferno
- Ingrain

Yes, Igglybuff is viable in this tier. Why? Because it can have Imposter. Its basically a better Ditto as it has 90 base HP opposed to Ditto's base 48. It can outlast whatever Pokémon it turns into if it has better HP than them making it very scary and ten times better than Ditto ever was.



Slowbro @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Shadow Tag
EVs: 252 HP / 124 Def / 132 SpD
Bold Nature
- Slack Off
- Spore
- Seismic Toss
- Stockpile

Probably the scariest set I've made so far. With the ability Shadow Tag your opponent can no longer switch out. Then use Spore to put them to sleep followed by Stockpile to buff your defenses while using Slack Off to heal when your opponent wakes up and attacks. On top of that he has Safety Goggles so he can't be spored himself. Finally, use Seismic Toss to always do 100 damage. Its REALLY hard to kill this thing but keep in mind any Ghost type walls him as you can't damage it and they aren't trapped by Shadow Tag. Powerful Grass types also won't have trouble as he can't spore him and other Safety Goggles users are immune as well. But over-all he's a force to be reckoned with.
