What are the best gimmicky pokemon to you guys? Im trying to make a nice gimmick team. So far I have a nice prankster sableye and a safety goggles shedinja that are working out great. And even though it isnt the classic definition of a gimmick I also am working on getting a pain split shadow sneak dusknoir to use almost like a reusable fear pokemon. Anyone have some suggestions?
 
Castform with the three main weather moves and Weather Ball. I used a Korean one in my White 2 post-game team, and it wrecked stuff.
 
Ditto. Its Transform is pretty gimmicky in battle, but downright useful for a breeder.
 
Zoroark. Yeah, he's frail and his typing could be better, but his movepool has pretty good coverage and I've found that a lot of people online don't seem to expect his ability. Used correctly, he's good for one free turn or at least a free switch-in. Plus, he has one of the best designs of any Gen V Pokemon in my opinion.
 
Depends on what you mean by "best". I've been using a Psych Up/Topsy-Turvy Malamar lately. Almost never get to do both, but when it does work, so worth it.
 
Ditto with its hidden ability imposter so it instantly transforms without wasting a turn. Make sure its equipping something to give it a speed boost, throw that out when your opponent uses their mega and you've basically got a faster version of their mega, albeit with less HP.

He can learn U-turn. Mwa ha ha.

My favourite is Castform too. Just wish ice could resist more than just itself, but that's an issue for a different thread.
