Rain Team Sweeper Ludicolo
Ludicolo is often utilized on Rain teams because of his two Abilities, Rain Dish and Swift Swim, both of which give benefits to Ludicolo in the rain. However, Ludicolo is mostly only used to set up the Rain condition, or as a Special Wall. However, it has a lot of untapped potential as a Special Sweeper as well.
Lead or Anti-Lead Crobat
Crobat is a very unique Pokemon that has an insanely good Speed stat, and a wide move pool to chose from.
Vanilluxe Wall
Vanilluxe is a Generation V Pokemon that often is criticized for its odd design, but is a decent Pokemon to use in battle.
Gale Wings Talonflame
Talonflame is a Pokémon that has become extremely popular in competitive play since Pokemon X and Y came out.
Support Vivillon
Vivillon is another one of the weak Bug-type Pokémon that you receive at the beginning of the game. However, Vivillon possesses a great ability to help out its teammates, making it a good support Pokémon on many teams.
Physical Sweeping Ursaring
Ursaring is a Pokémon that is barely used, yet has incredible Attacking ability. A combination of an insanely high Attack stat and its Guts ability gives it astronomical damaging capabilities.
Set-Up Butterfree
Butterfree is the final evolution of one of the traditional “weak” Bug-types you find early in all of the Pokémon games. These Bugs have been stereotyped as useless for competitive play, and for good reason.
