I've only bred a few pokemon for moves and honestly I've forgotten the exact recipes.

I generally start one of two ways.
A. Select a pokemon that looks cool or generally has good stats
B. Select a move combo and find a pokemon that can host it well

Most of mine were based on the second stratagem and generally I took the shortest recipe to get there.

First up
Tigger the Archaine LV: 30 Intimidate
Heat Wave, Body Slam, Flare Blitz, Helping Hand
HP - 96 Attack - 81 Defense 49 Sp At 80 Sp Def 54 Speed 68

This was made for team dueling to use Helping Hand to deliver a beefed up sucker punch (or other key move). When not helping he's a mixed attack fire poke with passable speed. Not great but pretty solid at dolling some damage.

his parther (bred by Jimmer)
Mugin the Honhcrow LV: 30 Insomnia
Mirror Move, Drill Peck, Roost, Sucker Punch
HP - 105 Attack - 96 Defense 42 Sp At 61 Sp Def 43 Speed 50

I use him as an opening with sucker Punch at fast but frail pokemon. With the strong attack, STAB and helping hand from Tigger it can one shot a fair number of speedy foes. Defenses are weak though so I find his other moves often don't get used much except as parting shots. Mirror move does have some advantages against status effect pokemon.

Also on my level 30 team was a defensive type I bred
Honker the Probopass LV: 30 Sturdy
Toxic, Rest, Sandstorm, Discharge
HP - 83 Attack - 38 Defense 105 Sp At 59 Sp Def 111 Speed 36

While he has some weaknesses he's a brick wall for some pokes able to poison them up and then hibernate through their attacks. Not exactly exciting though. I find he makes a great final pinch hitter if you can lure out pokes he has a weakness to earlier in the battle.

  1. Helping Hand goes first, before Sucker Punch - nice. Does Helping Hand boost any attack, or only the Attack stat ones?

    I've been debating a Probopass. I've fallen in love with Toxic done by a good staller. It gets Power Gem now as a level-up at 49, but getting two parents up that high is long. (Power Gem is a Special Attack based Rock move.)
