    Aww sweet, you like running Dragon Tail on Milotic as well? Definitely one of the coolest moves to teach one. I love running Milotic in either UU or OU (especially OU) because of it's good combo of Healing, decent defenses and good attack. It's kinda one of the most unexpected Pokemon.

    My set would be a little different, meant for defense more than offense but that is a really cool set, might have to use it on my next team. 

    Milotic @ Leftovers
    Ability: Marvel Scale
    EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
    Gentle Nature
    - Dragon Tail
    - Recover
    - Toxic
    - Surf

    You could also swap out Toxic and Surf for Scald and Ice Beam to give some defense against pesky Phsyical Attackers and turn Milotic into a complete wall, especially if you swapped out the Leftovers for a Flame Orb (Status boosts defense, burn reduces opposing attack, Milotic has naturally high SpD, Recover makes the Burn Damage minimal).

    I'll probably reply about some of those other sets as well later on.

    Yea I used to run milotic as a special wall, then a special tank. Now I figure everyone uses milotic like that, so I figured Id use it as a bulky special sweeper, and nobody would see it coming. Its speed isnt the BEST however, but I feel like quick claw compensates for that slightly lower speed

    True, true, plus if you can get a few Coils up you've got some decent Defenses starting to happen, I do like the D focus with the SpA, that's a kind of rare combo that's cool to see, and I like the idea of Cute Charm, though I'd probably rather stick with Marvel Scale because of how common Scald is these days (I swear, every Pokemon has either Knock Off or Scald). 

    That's the great thing about Milotic, it can run just about anything if you pick the right moves, so many different options :D

    Yea I had the hardest time deciding between cute charm and marvel scale. Though in the end I went with charm because marvel scale felt so old hat with the milotic wall/tank of yesteryear. I figured cute charm fit better with my female attacker

    Asshole Goodra 

    Item: Leftovers

    Ability: Hydration

    EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpD / 252 SpA

    Nature: Calm

    - Dragon Pulse

    - Rain Dance

    - Thunder

    - Rest

    This one relies on a fairly simple gimmick. That being a combination of Hydration, Rain Dance and Rest. Combining these three things allows you to fully heal without any drawbacks for the duration of Rain Dance. Add to that the fact Thunder can't miss when it is raining and the healing from leftovers and you can be pissing people off within minutes.

    Fair enough, I tend to find it a bit unreliable but when it hits it's an awesome bonus. I used to combine Attract and Thunder Wave and that was pretty sweet, but now I'd much rather take confusion, same kind of thing but a bit more reliable.

    But when it works out I can see it being much better than Marvel Scale. Generally I tend to try and not have my team statused.

    Is there a type of Goodra that isn't an asshole? I love using it, mostly because like Milotic it's so versatile. I've played against both physical and special attacking and defending Goodra's, but your set kind of seems to be the most fun, I might consider dropping the Leftovers for either Damp Stone or a Rocky Helmet to gain more benefits (first one extends healing and thunder accuracy, second makes you a perfect defender) but I might just have to use it.

    My umbreon has rocky helmet which makes it amusing against fighting types XD
