Are you asking specifically gen VI?

Yeah can be this gen (new pokes) or new sets this gen for older pokes, both :)
Oh ok, well I would definitely have to go with Tyrantrum on the new pokes side:

Jolly Strong Jaw
Hard Stone
252 ATK 252 Speed
Dragon Dance
Head Smash
Ice Fang
Fire Fang

And as for old pokes with new tricks...FROGGER!

Mega Venusaur
Bold
Leech Seed
Synthesis
Giga Drain
Sludge Bomb
I actually don't know my EV spread because I did a lot of toying around with it and didn't keep track, but if I had to guess it's probably something like this:
252 HP
76 Def
180 Sp. Def

Nice. TBH, I kind of overlooked Tyrantrum, but it is on my list to investigate along with Florges. I've been toying with pixilate Hypervoice Sylveon on showdown and I think I'm actually going to breed one in game too. Another set I've been having good luck with has been these:



Zapdos @ Leftovers.
Pressure
Bold
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
-T-bolt
-Heatwave (what up scizor)
-Roost
-Defog

and

Zapdos @ Leftovers.
Pressure
Bold
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
-T-bolt
-HP Grass
-Roost
-Toxic

Tyrantrum is a solid poke if you don't mind using him to pretty much destroy around 1-3 pokes (depending on the situation) and lose him in the process. He has a very short life span, but if you use him right he will make his time count. He's the perfect Talonflame counter. Florges is just kind of outshined by Sylveon according to most folks, but I still really like it and until recently had it on my main team. Aaaaaah Zapdos. That thing is sooo fucking useful this gen lol. I really need to get mine up and running actually lol. I can also hook you up with Hyper Voice Eevee, just lemme know the nature you want and I can have it for you today actually.

That would be awesome thx dude! Calm would work best :)
 
Favorite pokemon this gen is definitely Greninja. Protean Greninja has so many different uses. End game sweeper with life orb, set up spikes, run a physical set to mess with people/u-turn to stop instant blissey switch ins, and faster than almost everything without a choice scarf aside from Noivern and some of the birds. Looking forward to it being in the next SSB

Absolutely one of my favorite pokemon out of the 6th Gen too.
