Hope you enjoyed reading this. I have many more Ideal Single Battle Pokemon to post on this forum. Any help to make these Pokemon is appreciated, and you can offer to trade me them or TMs that I need for them if you wish. Remember, that I did not know the possible egg moves, or learned moves for Pokemon from the Diamond and Pearl era, because I only have a Pokemon Emerald guide. Any suggested modifications are appreciated. Love and Peace in the World. Jak xx Fire type Pokemon are awesome. They will incinerate, creamate and decimate the competition!
 
BTW, Smeargle>Starly. Smeargle can learn Ice Shard, which isn't resisted by anything. It also can know any other move there is.
 
Well, if you're going for just Endeavor Ice shard, then yeah, Swinub is the way to go. But if you want Spore, T-wave or any supporting moves, Smeargle might be the better choice. In the end, it's all up to preference.
 
smeargle is not good at all in single battles, the only good application he has is endeavor and quick attack. his base attack stats are around 50. this is a horrible pokemon
 
Um, don't say that.

Jolly Smeargle
252 S/x HP/x D
Belly Drum, Baton Pass, Spore, Substitute
Item: Salac Berry

Put your opponent to sleep, then Sub, then dance. At 1/4 HP you'll get a Salac Speed boost, and if they wake up again, just use Spore again. Then proceed to Baton pass the Max Attack and one Speed boost to a Pokemon like Lucario that can get around resistance due to it's vast movepool and sweep.
 
that still 273 speed if you get the a speed natured one and almost anything can one shot it, my sharpedo has better d's than him and he still has to roll with a focus sash, and because of the how dominant sweepers are in this gen it is more of a fun pokemon than a competitive one
 
He's not a sweeper, he an assist pokemon. And against the common leads, he Spores when they Stealth Rock. After that, he get's a sub up so they can't KO him, then Belly Drum. Holding a Salac berry he get's a 1.5x Speed boost, so he'll out speed almost any pokemon then.
 
no it is however him asking us about these pokemon he is about to make......"Any suggested modifications are appreciated" and i was advising him not to make this one and another person was. showing it was in the limitations of his post and a warning was inappropriate

i found that leftovers is probably the best, it can out speed a lot, and if not, i just spore, then baton pass, if they wake up, they kill a useless smeargel, but if you are faster,u can use substitute x2.

Yes, but the whole point is passing the speed boost to a physical sweeper that can use it, Lucario for example. And referring to the OP, why Tickle on wailord?
 
I'd probs swap Smeargle with an EV trained absol, with 3 dark moves and an assist moves, just for the ghosts.
 
just as a suggestion i dont think u should have expert belt on all of those pokemon, and u should remove splash plate.
for blaziken i would personally use endure, reversal, blaze kick, and some other move of ur preference so that it can hit more things and for the item give it a salac berry, the main reason is because it can hit more pokemon cuz ur set isnt really versatile. oh and just cuz u trained with a macho brace doesnt make him slower, it only makes him slower while he is holding it. and here are what i would suggest for items,

Salamence - life orb or leftovers
and maybe on his moveset roost over hydro pump, only if u want it though

Wailord- leftovers
and i know it may seem cool cuz ur wailord can hit its two weaknesses for super effective hits, but since they are both physical attacks, and wailord is a special attacker, they arent going to do much, and if one of ur weaknesses comes in just switch to a proper counter. so i would recomend surf and ice beam over earthquake and avalanche. u still can hit grass types, and a lot harder with ice beam, and surf is just in case u get hit by attacks, so that way you can still use water moves after u have been damaged, and u should probably replace something over tickle

Starmie- Life orb, leftovers, and choice specs and u might wanna put recover and rapid spin if u dont give it specs

Heracross- Life orb, choice band, choice scarf, and of course if u go with a choice item u r gonna want to replace substitute and reversal, for close combat and earthquake or pursuit or something of that nature, and maybe stone edge over rock slide? unless u r worried about accuracy.
 
In singles smeargle is not as good as one may think
1st he is fighting weak so Popular attacks like Close Combat, Aura Punch and Mach Punch are going to cause a lot of damage
2nd his stats are very low so even though he has a good move pool, he can and will be ohko'd by any fast sweeper, and there is a long list of them.

3rd, 99% of the time he will be a victim of fake out and then ko'ed so giving him a focus sash is not as good as you may think, but in DOubles he is beastly
