Is Sigilyph a good Pokemon as a sweeper?

Apr. 10, 2014

Just as the question suggests, is Sigilyph a good sweeper? The only movesets that he uses in competitive is the cosmic power, psycho shift move set.Is he viable as a sweeper? BTW this is for my ingame team in B2W2. Thanks in advance!

Sigilyphcansweep, but it needs to set up enough Cosmic Powers to do so with Stored Power. Sigilyph is rarely be Life Orbed, even with Magic Guard, due to how frail it is and being outclassed by Alakazam. If you really want, you can run a similar set to Clefable:

Sigilyph @ Life OrbAbility: Magic GuardEVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp. Atk, 4 DefNature: Modest- Cosmic Power- Roost- Air Slash- Stored Power

The best way to use Sigilyph as a sweeper is to spam stat boosts. It could probably run a Tinted Lens set, but to be honest Magic Guard is far superior as an ability.
