Hey Pocket, can we get some numbers in the Benchmarks for more than just speed? Or are they superfluous?
Also, Neutral base 100's are 299 Speed, for the speed tier there. 328 is Max speed base 100s.
I've got 2 more sets to post in here.
The first is Bulky Thundy-I.
Thundurus (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 164 HP / 44 Def / 56 SAtk / 244 SDef
Calm Nature
- Thunder/Thunderbolt
- Taunt
- Thunder Wave
- Hidden Power [Ice]
EVs were discussed and are there to survive large hits like Draco Gem Latios DMeteor, and most Ice Beams. you might live a few Rock Slides too from things not named Terrakion (edit: or Archeops :/ ).
Here's some calcs to show you what I mean.
- 252 SpA Dragon Gem Latios Draco Meteor vs. 164 HP / 244+ SpD Thundurus: 288-339 (84.7 - 99.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
- 252+ SpA Kyurem Ice Beam vs. 164 HP / 244+ SpD Thundurus: 288-338 (84.7 - 99.41%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (Blizzard does about 5% less)
- 252+ Atk Life Orb Excadrill Rock Slide vs. 164 HP / 44 Def Thundurus: 304-359 (89.41 - 105.58%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
- 252+ SpA Choice Specs Kingdra Hydro Pump vs. 164 HP / 244+ SpD Thundurus in rain: 325-384 (95.58 - 112.94%) -- 75% chance to OHKO
- 252+ Atk Tyranitar Rock Slide vs. 164 HP / 44 Def Thundurus: 260-308 (76.47 - 90.58%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
- 252+ SpA Chandelure Fire Blast vs. 164 HP / 244+ SpD Thundurus in sun: 294-346 (86.47 - 101.76%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO (Heat wave does only about 55%)
As you can see, it handles the Special side of the game fairly well, only falling to things that hit harder than TTar's Rock Slide on the physical side of things. It sets up TWave and Taunt on what it needs to slow down or stop, and still tanks a couple strong hits. Overall, a very handy mon used in VGC that does well in SmogDubs.
Next is Modified VGC Standard Amoongus
Amoonguss @ Black Sludge
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 212 HP / 108 Def / 188 SDef
Sassy Nature
- Spore
- Rage Powder
- Protect
- Giga Drain
More Calcs!
- 252+ SpA Dragon Gem Latios Draco Meteor vs. 212 HP / 188+ SpD Amoonguss: 333-393 (78.9 - 93.12%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (Psyshock will OHKO though)
- 252+ Atk Metagross Zen Headbutt vs. 212 HP / 108 Def Amoonguss: 344-408 (81.51 - 96.68%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
- 252+ SpA Volcarona Heat Wave vs. 212 HP / 188+ SpD Amoonguss: 326-386 (77.25 - 91.46%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (In Sun it kills, in Rain, it becomes a 3HKO)
- 252+ SpA Kyurem Ice Beam vs. 212 HP / 188+ SpD Amoonguss: 302-356 (71.56 - 84.36%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Amoongus is great for setting up Rage Powder to let your frailer Sweepers either get in a hit or get a boost. My main lead atm is Fake Out Top+Spore Amoongus. It gets an early advantage by taking away the opening momentum and forcing your opponent to rethink a bit, giving you time to set up your next move, but you could do a RP alongside something like QD Volcarona, Sub Users like Chandelure, Frailer sweepers like Kingdra (Amoongus absorbs those pesky Toxics). The list goes on and on to be honest.
Now to revisit a set, since I didn't really give it the star treatment it should have gotten when I showed the set originally. I'm of course talking about Lilligant.
my favorite ChloroAbuser, Lilligant:
Lilligant @ Lum Berry
Trait: Chlorophyll
EVs: 100 Spd / 72 SAtk / 184 HP / 152 SDef
Modest Nature
- Sleep Powder
- Leaf Storm
- Hidden Power Fire/Ground
- Protect
This Lilligant makes a perfect Sun Team lead against opposing weather starters, Scizor/Heatran depending on the HP you run, Sleeps things, and just lives a bunch of things it normally wouldn't. I love it against Rain Teams, as Leaf Stom OHKOs Defensive Politoed everytime, does 80-95% to max SpDef Hippodown, 80-94% to 188 HP / 0 SpD Abomasnow with HP Fire outside of sun, and can even 2HKO TTar in Sand, except for the whole SpDef Drop thing. It's honestly just a great mon that no one ever really sees coming, so the surprise factor makes it even better. Give it a shot, as with Lum Berry, you can get out of a Sleep or a Paralyze and Sleep back, especially against things like Thundurus-I, which tend to give Sun Teams some issues. Protect is for the obvious fake Out leads you see everywhere at the moment. The speed EVs put it at 241, which outspeeds Max Speed Politoed in Rain, and 482 in Sunlight, which outspeeds everything below Maximum speed Deo-Speed.
Here are some calcs for defense and attack.

Offensive EVs
- 72+ SpA Lilligant Leaf Storm vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Politoed: 384-452 (100 - 117.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
- 72+ SpA Lilligant Leaf Storm vs. 252 HP / 0+ SpD Tyranitar: 350-414 (86.63 - 102.47%) -- 18.75% chance to OHKO
- 72+ SpA Lilligant Hidden Power Fire vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Abomasnow: 292-348 (90.96 - 108.41%) -- 43.75% chance to OHKO
- 72+ SpA Lilligant Hidden Power Fire vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Scizor: 308-364 (89.79 - 106.12%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
- 72+ SpA Lilligant Hidden Power Ground vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Heatran: 248-292 (76.78 - 90.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
It's not the OP Destroyer of opposing Weather like I wish it was, but it does a lot of work, especially after sleeping something first. It can at least 2HKO Tran out of Sun and not die to Heat Wave, which is pretty useful.
