"Wonder"-ful Pokemon

    Many who battle Pokemon on-line will probably face someone who uses the obviously hacked, but ridiculously crazy Wonder Pokemon - Pokemon modified to have Wonderguard as their ability.
    For those who don't know, Wonderguard only allows moves that are super-effective against the user to hit.
    Therefore, most people use Spiritomb as the base to create their very own Wonder Pokemon, for its Dark/Ghost (or Ghost/Dark) typing has no weaknesses. The only legitimate movesets that can directly kill these Pokemon are those equipped with Perish Song, Ghost Pokemon with Curse, and Pokemon with the Moldbreaker ability - GO RAMPARDOS!
    For the "Wondertombs", Foresight/Odor Sleuth combined with a Fighting move will destroy them (insanecrazy07, 2010).
    They can also be killed indirectly with statuses and/or weather conditions, as well as Stealth rocks and/or Spikes (no idea if Struggle will hit, probably not though).
    If you can time it right, Destiny Bond can bring them down (insanecrazy07, 2010).
    However, most people that I've encountered do not use their Wonder Pokemon to their full potential. Many have flashy, yet uninspiring techniques such as Spacial Rend, and other signature moves. Still very hard to beat though
    Now if I were to make my own Wonderful Pokemon . . .

    Mean Look/Perish Song
    Pokemon: Sableye - it's faster than Spiritomb
    Item: Focus Sash
    Moveset:
    Mean Look
    Perish Song
    Recover
    Refresh
    As long as the trainer has a Pokemon to switch with, this set is pretty hard to beat.

    Nasty Dancer
    Pokemon: Sableye
    Item: Leftovers/Lum Berry
    Moveset:
    Dragon Dance
    Nasty Plot
    Aura Sphere
    Dragon Claw
    Barring Wonderful Opponents, this set should pretty much destroy all normal Pokemon without the need for a switch.

    Curse
    Pokemon: Sableye
    Item: Focus Sash
    Moveset:
    Mean Look
    Curse
    Recover
    Refresh
    Same idea as the Perish Song set, only this one's more of a solo battler.

    PHAZER
    Pokemon: Sableye
    Item: Focus Sash
    Moveset:
    Stealth Rock
    Spikes
    Whirlwind
    Recover
    Skarmory, only pretty much untouchable.

    Well, that's all I can think of at the moment. These sets were intended to be used alone, as a totally cheap and unfair addition to any team. I'm sure there's someone out there who has created an entire team of Wonder Pokemon that support each other wonderfully in battle, but I am not that person.
    So please, rate, bash, loathe, admire and mock these abominations, or better yet, come up with your own and post them for all to see. Yeah, I need 2 more . . . for my revenge

    Corny, uninspired name, that nevertheless accurately describes the obscene deadliness of these monsters.

    Guillotine/Horn Drill
    Fissure

    Pokemon: Sableye

    Baton Pass
    Belly Drum/Nasty Plot/Agility/Other Power up moves

    Better hope you don't run into anything with Fire Fang. For some reason it bypasses Wonder Guard.

    Hitmontop's Foresight + Close Combat. Negates the Ghost part and deals super-effective damage on the Dark typing.
    Oh, and destiny bond might be an issue...

    Seriously? Maybe you just fought Shedinja, which is weak to Fire . . .

    Oh yeah! Foresight and that Odor Sleuth thing, completely forgot about them.

    I learned something today!

    I'm serious, Fire Fang is the only standard move that hits Wondertomb.
