I hate attract, it was why Whitney was so hard to defeat, so I have decided to make an entire attract team. In case you don't know, attract is a move that "infatuates" a Pokemon of the opposite gender. Thereby, the Pokemon will be less likely to attack.
An entire team devoted to this move will be difficult to pull off since a lot of Pokemon are genderless (#1 is legendaries), so attract will have no effect on them. I will be making this team to play on the never used to underused tier.
Okay, so my first choice for this team is a fourth generation Pokemon, Lopunny. Lopunny the coveted Klutz ability, which allows for many possibilities. Klutx is an ability that prevents the use of a held item.
Lets take a look at Lopunny's stats:
HP : 65
ATK : 76
DEF : 84
Sp.ATK: 54
Sp.DEF: 96
SPD : 105
Ability: Klutz
Nature: Jolly (+SPD, -Sp.ATK)
Item: Lagging Tail / Flame Orb / Choice Scarf
Moveset:
Attract
Switcharoo
Sweet Kiss (Swagger) / Encore
Return (Last Resort) / Thunder Wave / Double Team
EV's: 252 Speed, 252 HP, 4 Sp.DEF for support
252 Speed, 128 HP, 128 ATK if you choose the Return set.
Even though Lopunny has the ability Cute Charm which does the same thing as attract, but requires physical contact, I chose Klutz. Lopunny does have decent defenses, but I am not willing to take the 30% chance of attract with cute charm.
The item that you chose depends on your moveset and what you want Lopunny to do. If you choose Return instead of thunder wave, then Lagging tail will be useful. Personally, i would go with flame orb with return. however, if you choose thunder wave, a choice item will be very useful, you could go with choice band or specs if you don't want to use choice scarf.
If you good at predicting your opponents next move or know the meta-game well, encore may be more useful than sweet kiss for you. Also, not that choice band + sweet kiss is awesome. Choice band will double your opponents attack and sweet kiss will confuse them, but if your opponent hurts itself in confusion, it will do tons of damage. Aslo, if you want more confusion damage, instead of sweet kiss, use swagger.
