I know I go on about speed attacks, but you could quite viably put Agility somewhere on that set (perhaps over Fake Out?) You've got physical BoltBeam coming from attacks that are boosted by an ability and a high base attack, and then a powerful Fighting type attack that will only be a hinderance to you if the opponent has a priority move (considering the defence drops won't matter if you're outspeeding everything.)

But I personally don't think Chan looks all that cool, so I wouldn't train it. :P

i'm training up a Cherrim for a weather team that i'm making, remember that all this stuff is with solar beam

Cherrim @ ???
Modest | Flower gift
Spec atk 252, HP 252

Sunny day
Aromatherepy
Solar beam
Sythesis

it can't cover much with only a grass move, but with one turn solar beam, 2/3 heal, able to avoid special conditions, this guy kicks ass ^_^


Cool! I'm trailing a Cherrim too!

This is my moveset:
{cherrim} @ Heat Rock
Quirky nature (balanced)
252 SpAtk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Magical Leaf
Sunny Day
Solarbeam
Toxic

First I use Sunny Day, which powers up my team because of its ability Flower Gift. I can then use Solarbeam every turn, or Magical Leaf if I am against an Evasive foe. I use Toxic if it is helpful.

Modest is better because no Physical attacks. Switch MAgical leaf to Hp Fire. Ahem, the great Kabutops which works:

Kabutops @ Life orb / Lum berry
Swift swim | Adamant
252 Att 100 Spd 152 Hp
-Stone edge
-Waterfall
-Swords dance
-X-Sciccor / Brick break / Aqua jet / Return / Aerial ace
You can use this really good probably in Ubers, mainly because infinite Rain support from Kyogre. With that EV spread (by mine) you outspeed All unboosted Pokemon in Rain, and Deoxys-E who tries to outspeed Deoxys-F. If you don't have Rain support, use Damp rock as item and Rain dance at the Last slot.

Fettjunker, Shedinja won't work in the Sanstorm filled metagame. It falls to any Tyranitar, Pursuiter, And other goodies. UU is where it belongs, as there are no weather changers, not much Pursuiters.

Ingame I just pluck pokemon I haven't used before, but some sets have worked very well.

{ninetales}@Leftovers
Modest / Flash Fire
252 SpAtk / 200 Spd / 58 SpDef
Will-O-Wisp
Flare Blitz
Dark Pulse
Roar

Switch in on a Fire-type, W-o-W, then Pulse until hit by a fire attack then roar and sweep the next.
For best use use as a switch in after a bug uses U-turn.

{clefable}@Toxic Orb
Adamant / Magic Guard
252 Atk / 252 Spd / 6 HP
Thunder Wave
Encore
Facade
Softboiled

I love this one. 210 base power with no catches including stab. Facade until you see a flawed move to encore.
Thunder Wave hard hitters, heal if need be then carry on your reign of terror.

P.S Bushin, wouldn't a toxic orb do better as that doesn't lower it's attack?

Here's some of my favorites...

{swellow} @Flame Orb
Jolly
EVs:Attack and Speed Max
Guts
-Facade
-Brave Bird
-Pursuit
-U-Turn

This is my Phoenix... <3 He packs a powerful attack...he is not something to be taken lightly...

{clefable} @Life Orb
Bold
Evs:HP:252 Def:210 Sp.Att:38
Magic Guard
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Calm Mind
-Softboiled

Getting a clefable with magic guard and softboiled might be hard,but trust me it WILL be useful...
The ability of setting calm minds without worry of residual damage makes her one of the best stallers you will ever know...

Shedinja works surprisingly well in OU. I'm not going to get in an argument with anyone since the last time that happened it was a disaster. I'll just say it has its own niche and is not completely useless. And if you play the suspect ladder, Sandstorm is a lot less common.

{xatu} @ Choice Scarf

EV's: 256 Atk 256 SA (not sure if this is the BEST possible spread, but o well)
-Me First
-Grass Knot
-Drill Peck
-Haze

What is this? I'm not completely sure. But it is one of my favorite pokemon. It's a hazer in case of emergency, plus a swift kick in the rear to the likes of Gengar, Rhyperior, Mismagius, Dragonite, Heracross, and Garchomp. As well as all the other Ghosts, Rocks, and Dragons who think they can easily OHKO this guy... Oh, and Specsmence...now there's something I want to see sometime...
