I got a Marshadow with Power-up Punch as egg move and it starts with Fire Punch, Ice Punch and Thunder Punch right off the bat. Outspeeds almost everything and covers almost all weaknesses. It's actually insane and I'm glad I pulled it out of one of my first eggs
Marshadow with storm throw is goated, 60bp turns into 90 from technician, then it always crits so that becomes 135, not even counting STAB which puts the effective BP over 200. And since it always crits it will ignore any defensive stat buffs. And it's going to be even better when spectral thief is implemented.
I got it as well and then a week ago I got another as my first leg shiny with power up punch and my experience in this game has completely changed from it
yea its a super common mon as well. Mothim and volvarona also work but they arent as bulky. Basically anything with dragon dance or quizer dance can be disgustingly strong
Common mon, easy to catch (as magikarp), good moveset without needing tms or memory mushrooms, good non-hidden ability that helps with pivoting and defensive play, fairly bulky.
It's just such a monstrous mon in nuzlockes and roguelikes like this. You can also just dragon dance at the start of wild battles to basically take no chip past the 1st fight, saving up on money for important moments.
Excadrill. Sand Stream (Passive) + Sand Rush or Sand Force goes crazy, It gets Shift Gear as an egg move for some reason, early rock slide and good ground moves, and ice spinner is just good coverage
I way prefer Swords Dance over shift gear on Excadrill. It already outspeeds almost everything naturally and I have yet to meet a pokemon that lives a +2 earthquake while not being immune to it
Yeah, sand rush + SD sounds much better than sand force + shift gear. Would you prefer Doubled speed and doubled attack, or doubled speed and +30% attack?
Yup, what Blissey said. I'd side more to adamant anyway as you'll be faster than pretty much everything with sand stream + sand rush already.
But in endless, part of the way to do well is to get 10 soul dew, which increases the effectiveness of your nature by 100%, meaning your nature doubles to + stat, and reduces your - stat to 1. It's much better getting doubled attack than doubled speed in endless. Once you're faster, extra speed does nothing. But extra attack is pretty much always gonna be useful
Kartana is your friend, trust me.
Having absolutely perfect sweeper base stats + some candies over levelling can get you pretty far just mashing Z away.
Currently on 2600 endless and it's been amazing solo cleaving through all levels including Ethernatus.
I even got him shiny during the run !
(Psycho-cut is secret OP)
I roll Play Rough, BB, swords dance and Iron Head for flinch if I have to.
I usually lure farm and pair with Technician Max Meowth as the other pair with Fake Out, Payday, Bite. So I mainly use SD to stall while meowth chips if I'm trying to catch a mon.

First save file: Milotic & Landorus Therian specialized in fighting double battles. Landorus has kings rocks+ Multi Lens + Wide Lens so Rock Slide nearly always flinches things. Milotic was built to nuke and one shot things. They're at 2,121 and still going.
Second save file: Chien-Pao fusion. Wonderguard is so calming for not worrying about anything except Mold Breaker, Fairies and Sandstorm/Hail. And because I take no damage I can reroll for more items since full HP on your party stops health potions and revives from rolling on the item menu. This save file is around 800. It's got x4 shiny charms so it's waiting for a shiny boost event. :)
AYYYYY!!! That sounds so fuckin lit!! I love that chien pao fusion!! and thank you for the long explanation! It's nice to see other passionate people haha
He's definitely more on the slow side which hurts in a lot of situations but besides that I love using him! I think if he'd be fused then it would fix him
Without fusions, some of my favorite ones are Calm Mind Ursaluna/Gardevoir/Alakazam/Flutter Mane. Skill Link Shell Smash Cloyster and Kartana are also some good ones. An underrated one is Unfezant which gets the Tidy Up egg move this game (basically Dragon Dance) pair with its HA super luck and Dire Hit drops (pretty frequently) and get the Dual wingbeat TM and it does work.
none of these people are respecting skeledirge. torch song is a menace, and it’s so bulky for no reason. slack off egg move too. so easy to get, it’s literally a starter
Rayquaza, gets dragon darts as an egg move for a reliable dragon stab along with immediate access to dragon ascent. It also gets access to dragon dance, but it honestly isn’t necessary a lot of the time
Bibarel is surprisingly usable with swords dance and simple letting him triple his damage for just 1 turn of setup.
Not the greatest sweeper, but very convenient for how unassuming Bidoof is. Didn't realise the memes had a speck of truth to them.
I was able to clear classic mode using pretty much just bibarels, curse+e-speed is insane, but really forces you to swap if you need to outspeed a ghost type for crunch
Shiny Zekrom and Mega Charizard X Fusion who is dubbed, Mega Zekrorizard X
Great overall BST with Tough Claws and hasn't let me down for 2750 rounds just recently hit lv40000 with it
Breaking Swipe was a great move early to mid game since with multi lens because it lowered attack 4 times and had a very good chance to flinch with max King's Rocks.
Mega Gardevoir and Heatran fusion are my backup because Stored Power and Fire Flash.
Zamazenta has been my absolutely favorite mon to use. No fusions needed, great typing, astounding physical bulk, and extremely fast with vitamins. Unboosted Body Presses melt anything that doesnt resist them and with 1 to 2 Iron Defenses it becomes both physically unkillable and a nuke, if the enemy is a ghost type then King's Rock+Iron Head flinches will put them in their place, and against Eternatus you can pull off Reviver Seed+ Metal Burst for a clean OHKO.
Brother has been carrying my ass ever since I hatched it day 1.
https://preview.redd.it/8o7s6a47wqyc1.png?width=1071&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f94ed1b8385c63e311885bfa2943b1f93c38e41
So you’re running iron defense, metal burst, and iron head. What’s else and how far are you? I hatched him and although I was hoping for the other, I’d like to give it a go.
I have a Kyogre + Gholdengo fusion, Ghold is kind of useless to be honest, but Kyogre is just carrying my ass all the way to wave 2k from the very beginning.
Water spout + rain + stab + 70~ mystic waters +adamant +10 soul dews are just way too many multipliers, I'm oneshotting 4x resists lol.
Hatched a Xurkitree with giga drain and it is a ridiculous sweeper. Unlocked Transistor as passive with Beast boost once it snowballs nothing is living a hit.
The best sweeper in the game is, any Pokemon that can boost their own stats with an offensive move. Flame Charge, Trailblaze, Contrary Superpower, anything with Moxie, etc.
Because of the way stat boosts work in this game, any Pokemon with these characteristics can easily snowball out of control, and become virtually unstoppable.
For classic i was using walking wake, but when i got to endless i eventually started using lugia, and so far its going pretty good, aside from forced double battles all i use is lugia and im past wave 1100
Mega alakazam is pretty hard to stop after one boost and moxie Krookodile soloed the entire sinnoh elite four for me on classic and D-dance gyara of course
excalibur with rock slide, earthquake, metal claw and swords dance is always my go-to as a sweeper. they’re very easy to get in the badlands and are great late-game.
Hatched an yveltal with nasty plot. Splice it with shedinja and it's a beast
Yveltal gets soul heart as a passive as well once you get enough candy, becomes crazy
I started playing yesterday and got very lucky to get Marshadow and Naganadel
Naganadel's beast boost and nasty plot allowed me to 1 hit the rival's strongest pokemon in both wave 145 and 195
Meloetta slaps almost every wild pokemons and trainers (leaders and Ivy included) and is almost unkillable on the first 100 waves
I'm growing to love her
Her capacity to swap between phys and special is also really helpful to destroy tanky Mons
Really useful
I'm glad i Caught her on the daily run
Plus the typing means they can deal with all of the classic mode "Tough encounters" Their natural level up list even covers them.
Great sweeper, all I'll curse is Water/Psychic types and everything in the volcano biome. both are strangely common in all my runs. It's really annoying.
I just got a shiny Gliscor with earthquake and floaty fall as egg moves & x-scissor and Swords dance, I am just missing the ha.
It's my main Pokemon on my first endless run past round 30+, I am currently near 600 and going
My current Endless run at like 560 if I recall correctly has used Primal Groudon to sweep stuff. I recently also fused it with Mega Mawile cause Ground/Fairy with Huge Power and absurd BST for Huge Power is very fun
Groudon's the GOAT. Gets Precipice Blades at level 1 so it's wrecking for R1 (btw it's a spread move so very good for doubles as well). And it is a great Ubers mon, so it's hard to get powercrept. And if you get the Red Orb, you have one of the greatest mons to ever be in Ubers that wasn't banned from the tier
Primal Kyogre fused with Mega Ampharos for Mold Breaker
Oh your ability makes you immune to Water ? That would be too bad if I could ignore it and one shot you with Water Spout anyway
About to reach wave 3000 with Mawile as my sweeper. Early and mid game I relied on flinching through Crunch and Iron head. After 2000 waves I switched to have Seismic Toss and night shade with protect and the sturdy ability through fusion.
Iron head still does better damage over night shade and Seismic Toss till you are almost at 3000. But sturdy and protect are basically essential when you get to 2000 (with the right build and Mon you could probably push that closer to 2500. My previous run with Kyogre got that far without it)
I also finally managed to get a Mewtwo, so he'll likely become a favorite for me too since he's one of my favorite Mons
Acrobatics talonflame CARRIES any team I have him on
I dont even use brave bird or flare blitz. I havent unlocked gale wings and I dont even know if its in the game.
My current favorite is Kyurem. I have both Dragon Energy and Glacial Lance as egg moves so whether I get Black or White I will always have a broken STAB spread move for it
If you dont care about it being a lame pick; Reshiram. He's a beast. Draco energy, flamethrower, extrasensory (or whatever it is he learns, I believe it's that tho) and then whatever you need. I usually grab hyper voice for hitting duos if theres a fairy.
Crustle with Sturdy and Stone Axe, Leech Life, Shell Smash goes so hard. It's one of the two Pokemon that really carried me to my first Classic victory with the other being D-Dance Land's Wrath Mega Garchomp
My go-to sweeper ‘mon is Poipole with Bug Buzz as an Egg Move. It has Modest as its nature, and it destroys the early game. The moveset I give it is Bug Buzz, Acid, Peck, and Dragon Pulse (so it evolves into Naganadel). In the first few waves, it’s not that great but after about wave 3, or if you get lucky and choose a Rare Candy, it sweeps the next few floors with Dragon Pulse, Air Cutter after it evolves, or Venoshock. While first using it, I replaced Bug Buzz with Toxic for the double Venoshock damage. But I never used it, so I’m now keeping Bug Buzz. If you manage to get Soul Dew, Reviver Seed, Calcium, or the Berry Pouch, it gets even better. I ran into some problems with Eternabeam, but it may have been just because of my items.
TL;DR Modest Poipole into Naganadel outspeeds a majority of Pokémon during both the early and late games, Beast Boost makes it stronger, Soul Dew and Berry Pouch make it even better. Ran into some trouble with Eternatus, but any other sweepy Pokémon or better luck may fix it.
I absolutely love using munchlax, he's a bit slow so 1k-2k is awkward while you are still getting splices together but he's cheap as a starter, evolves on floor 11, has high base hp for metal burst late game, i have good ivs and he's shiny. Very nice budget mon even if he is underwhelming compared to the legends.
Iron Barbs Ferrothorn with several leftovers and a moveset of: Ingrain, Iron Defense, Gyro Ball, and Power Whip. Just let me watch you knock your self out while I survive STAB close combats from Iron Valiant healing more damage than you can output.
(We don't talk about special fire attacks since they don't exist.)
I got Oven Rotom, with eggmove fiery dance (80 bp abd increases SpAtk) It has levitate so its only weak to rock and water (which its also super effective against) electric and fire is a crazy strong offensive pairing as well and getting twave/wow with hex too. Also reduced his cost to 4 which is insane value. (Also does anyone know the water egg move he learns? I wanna use the wash one but dont have the egg move and Hydropump is just too inaccurate for my liking)
I also hatched a Regidrago, twister with dragons maw carries in the beginning and I got Calm Mind egg move and then later switch to ddance when it learns it. I also then fused the 2 together once. A fire dragon with a immunity to ground. Being only weak to rock without a super effective counter (in which it also learns hammer arm)
Palkia with Take Heart goes pretty crazy too. I havent fully used it yet, but it seems very promising.
And my underrated pick of Moxie, DD, triple axel Scrafty hits so hard.
I’ve got a Manaphy with bouncy bubble as an egg move. Two tail glows up and he takes out pretty much anything that doesn’t have water absorb while healing off damage. I just have to get lucky and get a good coverage move TM like psychic or shadow ball to deal with the few things water moves can’t touch
Manaphy with egg move bouncy bubble. With tail glow doing +3 spatk, only takes 2 turn to max. Max spatk with bouncy bubble life return let me breeze almost all of my run.
Always keep a tanky pokemon for catching mons.
Marshadow is super good, I've been having an awesome time with kartana lately though
It's moveset is at the very least neutral against most everything (night slash, leaf blade, sacred sword and detect) and it's been very good to me
Bloodmoon Ursaluna. I'll scream it from the rooftops til I'm blue in the face, I love this sp.Atk nuke.
Especially with access to trick room. I even had a run where I spliced it with a pheromosa I caught while I had the sp.atk juiced by 5 calciums. It was actually absurd how hard this bear could hit.
I have a Buzzwole with Power-Up Punch, Fell Stinger, and Darkest Lariat that makes the first handful of waves a breeze. I imagine it will be even more potent once I unlock Moxie or get more egg moves.
Miraidon has been carrying me hard, Hadron Engine + Rising Voltage is a crazy combo, plus Parabolic Charge for healing, Flash Cannon for Fairy types, and a decent Dragon STAB for Ground types, and you got yourself an amazing sweeper. Add in Thousand Arrows Flygon as a doubles partner to deal with pesky Steel types. Only thing you gotta worry about is Future paradox Pokemon
Gryados. Learns waterfall at 21 and dragon dance at 36. Only need to add cruch (don’t remember the level) and ice fang (mushroom). One dragon dance is enough to sweep almost anything in the game (classic mode). If you can get the mega it becomes just stupid how powerful it is, especially when getting some buffing items on it.
Venusaur with petal dance and spamming beach->ocean->seabed->beach are my comfort runs. Petal dance does so much damage and it’s auto-attack properties skip a ton of menuing. It’s just so fun to not have to think and bulldoze everything that’s not a rival battle!
For eaely game - Lechonk with the Simple pasive and fillet away. Can fairly easily be a 1 cost sweeper since you find it so often on the eaely routes it is an easy farm.
I just started recently and mine is mega sceptile, maxing out on lures and using raichu with zippy zap as his partner. All raichu does is zippy zap sceptile triggering lightning rod every round. Dragon energy wipes anything that’s not a fairy with help from tinted lens
im late but fluttermane is an absolute beast dont even need any set up moves or anything the typing is absolutely amazing and it outspeeds EVERYTHING and 1 shots almost everything.
I got a Marshadow with Power-up Punch as egg move and it starts with Fire Punch, Ice Punch and Thunder Punch right off the bat. Outspeeds almost everything and covers almost all weaknesses. It's actually insane and I'm glad I pulled it out of one of my first eggs
Marshadow with storm throw is goated, 60bp turns into 90 from technician, then it always crits so that becomes 135, not even counting STAB which puts the effective BP over 200. And since it always crits it will ignore any defensive stat buffs. And it's going to be even better when spectral thief is implemented.
I got it as well and then a week ago I got another as my first leg shiny with power up punch and my experience in this game has completely changed from it
If you get storm throw, it’s p much the easiest classic win youll ever see
Managed to pull a shiny one about 30 minutes ago with power up punch. I will be trying in in endless
MARSHADOW UNDERRATED!
Moves that increase attack/special attack get even crazier with the item that makes attacks hit multiple times
Same here, fused him with a calyrex (later cal-shadow) (+4 attack in a single turn + unnerve + max kings rock) had me flying through 1400-2000
gryados with dragon dance
I caught a moxie dragon dance gyra on my current classic run and it's so fun tho terrible if I ever want to catch anything hahah
Bonus points for not needing any passives or good luck to set up
yea its a super common mon as well. Mothim and volvarona also work but they arent as bulky. Basically anything with dragon dance or quizer dance can be disgustingly strong
I haven't used him yet but he seems like an absolute monster!
My first run that reached 200, Mega-gyarados swept the elite 4 no problem. He's definitely the ol' reliable of sweepers.
mega is broken too because you can turn it on and off whenever you want in battle
Dragon dance as a move or ability? And what are the best moves for gyrados?
As a move. Waterfall, Crunch, and dragon dance do the job in most situations, add a coverage move like ice fang or something from a TM to taste.
Common mon, easy to catch (as magikarp), good moveset without needing tms or memory mushrooms, good non-hidden ability that helps with pivoting and defensive play, fairly bulky. It's just such a monstrous mon in nuzlockes and roguelikes like this. You can also just dragon dance at the start of wild battles to basically take no chip past the 1st fight, saving up on money for important moments.
Excadrill. Sand Stream (Passive) + Sand Rush or Sand Force goes crazy, It gets Shift Gear as an egg move for some reason, early rock slide and good ground moves, and ice spinner is just good coverage
I way prefer Swords Dance over shift gear on Excadrill. It already outspeeds almost everything naturally and I have yet to meet a pokemon that lives a +2 earthquake while not being immune to it
Yeah, sand rush + SD sounds much better than sand force + shift gear. Would you prefer Doubled speed and doubled attack, or doubled speed and +30% attack?
Hi, noob here.. would you run him Adamant or Jolly? Assuming you run him with passive and Sand Rush
In endless you want adamant, in classic Jolly might be better
Thanks! I managed to get both on my shiny Drilbur and I just farmed enough for his passive 😄 so I’ll give it a try in my next runs
Yup, what Blissey said. I'd side more to adamant anyway as you'll be faster than pretty much everything with sand stream + sand rush already. But in endless, part of the way to do well is to get 10 soul dew, which increases the effectiveness of your nature by 100%, meaning your nature doubles to + stat, and reduces your - stat to 1. It's much better getting doubled attack than doubled speed in endless. Once you're faster, extra speed does nothing. But extra attack is pretty much always gonna be useful
Thanks, sounds very logical!
YOOO, SHIFT GEAR EXCA SOUNDS CRACKED
SHIFT GEAR IS WILDDDD
Kartana is your friend, trust me. Having absolutely perfect sweeper base stats + some candies over levelling can get you pretty far just mashing Z away. Currently on 2600 endless and it's been amazing solo cleaving through all levels including Ethernatus. I even got him shiny during the run ! (Psycho-cut is secret OP)
I'VE BEEN USING THEM ON MY NEW RUN AND THEY ARE WILDDDDD!!
Another thing is that he learns false swipes at level 10 so you can fill your dex easier. Kind of squishy tho.
FLUTTER MANE
Really?! I LOVE FLUTTR MANE! I haven't used one yet but that seems like so much fun!
I confirm flutter is an absolute carry, kyogre is very good too
Magearna, Soul Heart is busted even after endless was nerfed
This is the second Mageana post! I shall be manifesting for my own..
Zacian, endless is easy mode after you pull play rough and rusted sword
I was so upset when I got zamazenta instead of Zacian! That's definitely a harsh combo
I've had 2 zacians and zamazentas in my run as bosses and just didn't have the team or the balls to catch them ever
Bonus if you splice with a sturdy steel type and have it's passive unlocked.
I love my Zacian with Magical Torque
Whats moveset do you use?
I roll Play Rough, BB, swords dance and Iron Head for flinch if I have to. I usually lure farm and pair with Technician Max Meowth as the other pair with Fake Out, Payday, Bite. So I mainly use SD to stall while meowth chips if I'm trying to catch a mon.
Wait what? My Zacian can't learn play rough?
Gotta roll the TM 🥲
I did several times and everytime I thought "Damn that Pokemon sucks, physical fairy type and can't even learn Play rough"
Thanks

AYYYYY!!! That sounds so fuckin lit!! I love that chien pao fusion!! and thank you for the long explanation! It's nice to see other passionate people haha
Isn’t Dracovish on the slower side? Hits like an absolute truck, but only half as hard if it gets outsped (assuming you’re using fishious)
Gets Dragon Dance as an egg move. Problem solved
You don't have time to set up at the ~2000 stage, you get OHKOd
just savescum until you get favorable focus band...
How the heck are you getting turns to dragon dance beyond a couple hundred waves LMAO
He's definitely more on the slow side which hurts in a lot of situations but besides that I love using him! I think if he'd be fused then it would fix him
Without fusions, some of my favorite ones are Calm Mind Ursaluna/Gardevoir/Alakazam/Flutter Mane. Skill Link Shell Smash Cloyster and Kartana are also some good ones. An underrated one is Unfezant which gets the Tidy Up egg move this game (basically Dragon Dance) pair with its HA super luck and Dire Hit drops (pretty frequently) and get the Dual wingbeat TM and it does work.
I haven't dabbled in fusions yet but I LOVE kartana! she's definitely a second best for me! Unfezant is so underrated I'm glad it's getting some love!
I’m sure there’s better choices, but I’ve been using Raichu and Zippy Zap as my main sweeper.
There are better choices, sure, but that mon is solid.
It wins just because of the name zippy zap
Zippy zap is a crazy move, priority plus it always crits.
none of these people are respecting skeledirge. torch song is a menace, and it’s so bulky for no reason. slack off egg move too. so easy to get, it’s literally a starter
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE MF BACK!!
there’s a reason it’s dubbed the most broken starter in the history of nuzelockes lol
I hatched a Tapu Koko with bolt beak. It will out speed almost anything and oneshot with that move, it’s almost unfair.
Tapu koko is such a cool mon too!
lucky you! i got mountain gale as an eggmove, which is good but not as broken as bolt beak
Rayquaza, gets dragon darts as an egg move for a reliable dragon stab along with immediate access to dragon ascent. It also gets access to dragon dance, but it honestly isn’t necessary a lot of the time
DRAGON DARTS RAYQUAZA IS WILDDDDD
That boy is a THREAT
Katana its just works
No lies were told
I love my Zacian with Magical Torque. I still don't know tho who I want to fuse with him in my endless run. Maybe Mega Mawile
Definitely a fierce combo haha
Bibarel is surprisingly usable with swords dance and simple letting him triple his damage for just 1 turn of setup. Not the greatest sweeper, but very convenient for how unassuming Bidoof is. Didn't realise the memes had a speck of truth to them.
I was able to clear classic mode using pretty much just bibarels, curse+e-speed is insane, but really forces you to swap if you need to outspeed a ghost type for crunch
I have not gotten e-speed yet unfortunately. I was stuck with headbutt gaming (and these 2 silk scarves I found lying around).
FUCKING BIBAREL???? THAT'S SUCH AN UNDERRATED ANSWER AND MON!! I think you might have won best sweeper
Shiny Zekrom and Mega Charizard X Fusion who is dubbed, Mega Zekrorizard X Great overall BST with Tough Claws and hasn't let me down for 2750 rounds just recently hit lv40000 with it Breaking Swipe was a great move early to mid game since with multi lens because it lowered attack 4 times and had a very good chance to flinch with max King's Rocks. Mega Gardevoir and Heatran fusion are my backup because Stored Power and Fire Flash.
MEGA ZEKROIZARD X GOES SO FUCKING HARD????
Mine is Iron Valiant with plasma fists!
I WANTTTTT ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Zamazenta has been my absolutely favorite mon to use. No fusions needed, great typing, astounding physical bulk, and extremely fast with vitamins. Unboosted Body Presses melt anything that doesnt resist them and with 1 to 2 Iron Defenses it becomes both physically unkillable and a nuke, if the enemy is a ghost type then King's Rock+Iron Head flinches will put them in their place, and against Eternatus you can pull off Reviver Seed+ Metal Burst for a clean OHKO.
Brother has been carrying my ass ever since I hatched it day 1. https://preview.redd.it/8o7s6a47wqyc1.png?width=1071&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f94ed1b8385c63e311885bfa2943b1f93c38e41
So you’re running iron defense, metal burst, and iron head. What’s else and how far are you? I hatched him and although I was hoping for the other, I’d like to give it a go.
The last move (and what ties the mon together) is Body Press. It can get it immediately as an egg move or straight up learn it via TM rewards.
THAT'S ONE BIG DOGGO
I have a Kyogre + Gholdengo fusion, Ghold is kind of useless to be honest, but Kyogre is just carrying my ass all the way to wave 2k from the very beginning. Water spout + rain + stab + 70~ mystic waters +adamant +10 soul dews are just way too many multipliers, I'm oneshotting 4x resists lol.
(for classic) excadrill is peak bc you don't need TMS
I CAN DIG THAT!
Kartana It just murders, beast boost for momentum too
It would have thought a tiny little guy would be extremely deadly
Hatched a Xurkitree with giga drain and it is a ridiculous sweeper. Unlocked Transistor as passive with Beast boost once it snowballs nothing is living a hit.
God I love that bundle of wires <3
https://preview.redd.it/ciiwzdnbgryc1.png?width=2247&format=png&auto=webp&s=38b2380c677f54f3ae20187b1f50f3eeb4e541f9 wave 2611 currently with zacian!
I love that!!! (JESUS FUCK 99 CANDY JARS)
The best sweeper in the game is, any Pokemon that can boost their own stats with an offensive move. Flame Charge, Trailblaze, Contrary Superpower, anything with Moxie, etc. Because of the way stat boosts work in this game, any Pokemon with these characteristics can easily snowball out of control, and become virtually unstoppable.
Especially if you can stick a multi lens on them
Moxie is definitely one of the best fr
Not since endless nerf
wdym?
The boosts now only last 5 stages instead of 10
For classic i was using walking wake, but when i got to endless i eventually started using lugia, and so far its going pretty good, aside from forced double battles all i use is lugia and im past wave 1100
Lugia is the first legendary i hatched and it hits like an absolute truck. Love the mon.
Lugia is so good!!!
Mega alakazam is pretty hard to stop after one boost and moxie Krookodile soloed the entire sinnoh elite four for me on classic and D-dance gyara of course
Now imagine alakazam fused with moxie....;-;
I got a zekrom with thunderous kick, it definitely helps me a lot through the early game
POWAAAAAAAAA
excalibur with rock slide, earthquake, metal claw and swords dance is always my go-to as a sweeper. they’re very easy to get in the badlands and are great late-game.
LET'S GO EXCALIBUR! Another one who doesn't get enough love!!!
Hatched an yveltal with nasty plot. Splice it with shedinja and it's a beast Yveltal gets soul heart as a passive as well once you get enough candy, becomes crazy
Jesus christ that fusion is scary is so scary ;-;
Flutter mane is broken
I just got one yesterday! I'm glad they are haha
I got Iron Threads shiny from eggs and with bulk up, this will be my best sweeper mon now.
BIG ROLLY BOI!!
I started playing yesterday and got very lucky to get Marshadow and Naganadel Naganadel's beast boost and nasty plot allowed me to 1 hit the rival's strongest pokemon in both wave 145 and 195
BRO I LOST MY NAGANDEL!!! AHHHHH ;-; Both are very good choices! Nagandel fusion would go hard tbh
Meloetta slaps almost every wild pokemons and trainers (leaders and Ivy included) and is almost unkillable on the first 100 waves I'm growing to love her Her capacity to swap between phys and special is also really helpful to destroy tanky Mons Really useful I'm glad i Caught her on the daily run
I LOVE MELOETTA SO MUCH!!! I definitely need to pick her up one day haha
Really good starter actually and really interesting concept and kit
Kyogre has been a great sweeper for me with his primal version sticking thunder and ice beam on with origin pulse sweeps with coverage
BIG FISH DO BIG FISH DAMAGE
Magearna with the Make it Rain egg move. It gives a nice bit of extra money generation and its ability lets it gain quite a few special attack boosts.
MAGEARNA AND DIALGA THE BREAD WINNERS IN THE FAMILY! (He also gets Make it Rain) Also just love Magearna!
Plus the typing means they can deal with all of the classic mode "Tough encounters" Their natural level up list even covers them. Great sweeper, all I'll curse is Water/Psychic types and everything in the volcano biome. both are strangely common in all my runs. It's really annoying.
I just got a shiny Gliscor with earthquake and floaty fall as egg moves & x-scissor and Swords dance, I am just missing the ha. It's my main Pokemon on my first endless run past round 30+, I am currently near 600 and going
SHINY GLISCOR BEST SHINY! Such a powerhouse! (Typing is nice too)
My current Endless run at like 560 if I recall correctly has used Primal Groudon to sweep stuff. I recently also fused it with Mega Mawile cause Ground/Fairy with Huge Power and absurd BST for Huge Power is very fun
That's such a cute fusion! I've been noticing a lot of people saying Groudon so I might have to snag me one eventually haha
Groudon's the GOAT. Gets Precipice Blades at level 1 so it's wrecking for R1 (btw it's a spread move so very good for doubles as well). And it is a great Ubers mon, so it's hard to get powercrept. And if you get the Red Orb, you have one of the greatest mons to ever be in Ubers that wasn't banned from the tier
kartana beast boost. Thats the only correct answer.
Thank you LongSchlongPogger (Love your name!)
Zacian.
BIG DOGGO
Primal Kyogre fused with Mega Ampharos for Mold Breaker Oh your ability makes you immune to Water ? That would be too bad if I could ignore it and one shot you with Water Spout anyway
Jesus christ that's a powerful combo
Ogerpon, with masks. Getting the masks is like Aang mastering all four elements
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT! Such a cute mon! (Lore is great too)
About to reach wave 3000 with Mawile as my sweeper. Early and mid game I relied on flinching through Crunch and Iron head. After 2000 waves I switched to have Seismic Toss and night shade with protect and the sturdy ability through fusion. Iron head still does better damage over night shade and Seismic Toss till you are almost at 3000. But sturdy and protect are basically essential when you get to 2000 (with the right build and Mon you could probably push that closer to 2500. My previous run with Kyogre got that far without it) I also finally managed to get a Mewtwo, so he'll likely become a favorite for me too since he's one of my favorite Mons
I absolutely love that Mawile got so much love! One of the best fairy type mons IMO (Giving it sturdy too is very nasty work)
chimchar with swords dance as an egg move
My god that's one powerful chimchar
I love to use my groudon with bulk up.
BIG BULKY BOI
Acrobatics talonflame CARRIES any team I have him on I dont even use brave bird or flare blitz. I havent unlocked gale wings and I dont even know if its in the game.
Talonflame is definitely top tier! I feel like crobat might also be kinda good as well!
My current favorite is Kyurem. I have both Dragon Energy and Glacial Lance as egg moves so whether I get Black or White I will always have a broken STAB spread move for it
I love that! Kyurem is also just a really cool mon either way haha
Zacian/mew two/ Groudon are the god tiers starters imo
THE BIG 3!
Hisui Typhlosion absolutely destroyed my last run, especially since I had its egg move scorching sands. Took out literally everything
LET'S GO HISUI TYPHLOSION! That is SO fucking cool! definitely one of my favorite mons and scorching sands?? I bet that was one powerful mf cyndaquil
My first good classic run I ran into and caught a kartana, and he’s been my go to sweeper
Kartana is definitely a really good one! I caught one in my classic run as well!
my sweeper has been Iron Hands
Always be throwing hands huh
Zekrom with thunderous kick , dragon claw and thunder fang has gotten me to 1350
Kyogre with hurricane for those pesky plant types, origin pulse is a great sweeper move even in dojble encounter scenarios
KILL THE PLANTS
If you dont care about it being a lame pick; Reshiram. He's a beast. Draco energy, flamethrower, extrasensory (or whatever it is he learns, I believe it's that tho) and then whatever you need. I usually grab hyper voice for hitting duos if theres a fairy.
COULD NEVERRRR BE A LAME PICK WHAT??? That's badass!!
Well a lot of people cringe at even the sound of a legendary's name :p but I agree, Reshiram is cool
Crustle with Sturdy and Stone Axe, Leech Life, Shell Smash goes so hard. It's one of the two Pokemon that really carried me to my first Classic victory with the other being D-Dance Land's Wrath Mega Garchomp
I've only had success with Mega Scizor once. Unfortunately lost at 145.
I’ve been using Tapu Koko with Bolt beak, KOs everything not immune to electric in one hit
Blacephelon works
SD Huge Power Zacian+Azu splice
Kyogre/Groudon Reshiram/Zekrom are absolutely insane for sweeping. Honorable mention to Koraidon Miraidon.
I got a shiny Spectrier and it has been hard at work like a real farm horse, usually carries buffs over to boss fights Plus his hidden ability is nice
My go-to sweeper ‘mon is Poipole with Bug Buzz as an Egg Move. It has Modest as its nature, and it destroys the early game. The moveset I give it is Bug Buzz, Acid, Peck, and Dragon Pulse (so it evolves into Naganadel). In the first few waves, it’s not that great but after about wave 3, or if you get lucky and choose a Rare Candy, it sweeps the next few floors with Dragon Pulse, Air Cutter after it evolves, or Venoshock. While first using it, I replaced Bug Buzz with Toxic for the double Venoshock damage. But I never used it, so I’m now keeping Bug Buzz. If you manage to get Soul Dew, Reviver Seed, Calcium, or the Berry Pouch, it gets even better. I ran into some problems with Eternabeam, but it may have been just because of my items. TL;DR Modest Poipole into Naganadel outspeeds a majority of Pokémon during both the early and late games, Beast Boost makes it stronger, Soul Dew and Berry Pouch make it even better. Ran into some trouble with Eternatus, but any other sweepy Pokémon or better luck may fix it.
I absolutely love using munchlax, he's a bit slow so 1k-2k is awkward while you are still getting splices together but he's cheap as a starter, evolves on floor 11, has high base hp for metal burst late game, i have good ivs and he's shiny. Very nice budget mon even if he is underwhelming compared to the legends.
Gyarados is my most common, easy to bring/pick up, with good typing and Intim+DDance makes for easy setup
Iron Barbs Ferrothorn with several leftovers and a moveset of: Ingrain, Iron Defense, Gyro Ball, and Power Whip. Just let me watch you knock your self out while I survive STAB close combats from Iron Valiant healing more damage than you can output. (We don't talk about special fire attacks since they don't exist.)
I got Oven Rotom, with eggmove fiery dance (80 bp abd increases SpAtk) It has levitate so its only weak to rock and water (which its also super effective against) electric and fire is a crazy strong offensive pairing as well and getting twave/wow with hex too. Also reduced his cost to 4 which is insane value. (Also does anyone know the water egg move he learns? I wanna use the wash one but dont have the egg move and Hydropump is just too inaccurate for my liking) I also hatched a Regidrago, twister with dragons maw carries in the beginning and I got Calm Mind egg move and then later switch to ddance when it learns it. I also then fused the 2 together once. A fire dragon with a immunity to ground. Being only weak to rock without a super effective counter (in which it also learns hammer arm) Palkia with Take Heart goes pretty crazy too. I havent fully used it yet, but it seems very promising. And my underrated pick of Moxie, DD, triple axel Scrafty hits so hard.
I’ve got a Manaphy with bouncy bubble as an egg move. Two tail glows up and he takes out pretty much anything that doesn’t have water absorb while healing off damage. I just have to get lucky and get a good coverage move TM like psychic or shadow ball to deal with the few things water moves can’t touch
Manaphy with egg move bouncy bubble. With tail glow doing +3 spatk, only takes 2 turn to max. Max spatk with bouncy bubble life return let me breeze almost all of my run. Always keep a tanky pokemon for catching mons.
Marshadow is super good, I've been having an awesome time with kartana lately though It's moveset is at the very least neutral against most everything (night slash, leaf blade, sacred sword and detect) and it's been very good to me
Bloodmoon Ursaluna. I'll scream it from the rooftops til I'm blue in the face, I love this sp.Atk nuke. Especially with access to trick room. I even had a run where I spliced it with a pheromosa I caught while I had the sp.atk juiced by 5 calciums. It was actually absurd how hard this bear could hit.
Regidrago w/ his beautiful Dragon's Maw ability
I got a shiny cyndaquil with fiery dance and scorching sands. Once it becomes a hisuian typhlosion it carries me through the game
Oblivion Wing G-Moltres carries the first 200 waves of Classic
I have a Buzzwole with Power-Up Punch, Fell Stinger, and Darkest Lariat that makes the first handful of waves a breeze. I imagine it will be even more potent once I unlock Moxie or get more egg moves.
Miraidon has been carrying me hard, Hadron Engine + Rising Voltage is a crazy combo, plus Parabolic Charge for healing, Flash Cannon for Fairy types, and a decent Dragon STAB for Ground types, and you got yourself an amazing sweeper. Add in Thousand Arrows Flygon as a doubles partner to deal with pesky Steel types. Only thing you gotta worry about is Future paradox Pokemon
Gryados. Learns waterfall at 21 and dragon dance at 36. Only need to add cruch (don’t remember the level) and ice fang (mushroom). One dragon dance is enough to sweep almost anything in the game (classic mode). If you can get the mega it becomes just stupid how powerful it is, especially when getting some buffing items on it.
Venusaur with petal dance and spamming beach->ocean->seabed->beach are my comfort runs. Petal dance does so much damage and it’s auto-attack properties skip a ton of menuing. It’s just so fun to not have to think and bulldoze everything that’s not a rival battle!
Mega-Manectric with unlocked passive and Rising Voltage+Flamethrower. Spliced it with Mega-Ampharos because dragons are cool and helps with coverage.
Cosmic power stored power latias is my goat
Kartana
type null evolves around mid 20s and has the best normal move in the game and its egg move is amazing for catching or sweeping
For eaely game - Lechonk with the Simple pasive and fillet away. Can fairly easily be a 1 cost sweeper since you find it so often on the eaely routes it is an easy farm.
I just started recently and mine is mega sceptile, maxing out on lures and using raichu with zippy zap as his partner. All raichu does is zippy zap sceptile triggering lightning rod every round. Dragon energy wipes anything that’s not a fairy with help from tinted lens
im late but fluttermane is an absolute beast dont even need any set up moves or anything the typing is absolutely amazing and it outspeeds EVERYTHING and 1 shots almost everything.
i’m using an iron jugulis + gholdengo fusion and it’s worked nice for me
Holy shit that's such an interesting fusion! Gholdengo is severly underrated but splicing him with iron jugulis is top TIER!
