Fake out (always a move to keep in your pocket)
Protect (a staple move and good on sashed mons)
Super fang (usual offense support on mons, probably this the faster one than scrafty and pachi, making KO'es easy to pick up)
Knock off (a good move to reveal information in a bo3)
Taunt (speaks for it's own importance, it can taunt almost anything back before they make a move, otherthan prankster mons)
Charm (a move seen rarely however has importance in VGC)
Covet (in the case of focus sash probably more useful)
Sunny day and Rain dance (best surprise weather disruption)
Swagger (obvious hax sometimes decides games in your favour)
Sand attack, growl (probably my own ideas but can work on specific teams
Hope my suggestions helped you.
Ok thanks. So a better set would be Fake Out, Protect, Knock Off Super Fang?
And will my Meowstic work with it or have a different mon to help give it support?
i meant that u should put purugly itself as a support pokemon on your team, not build around it as a sweeper, as far as meowstic goes, this meowstic should either be replaced or be a secondary support on the team
