If anyone has any suggestions/sets, feel free to PM me or @Justin, we might add it to the post!

[AidanC97]

These look very promising. Will have to try them out when i get the chance to. Thanks for posting this!

[coolkong64]

Quite new to VGC here, and I am curious to see the speedy sets for Persian. I imagine you could afford to run speed evs due to Fur Coat, but I'd be interested to know whether a slower, more defensively run set with a slow parting shot for faster turners be viable. Also, how do we get parting shot on Persian in this gen?

[Johnnyspyguy]

VGC is a very fast-paced meta so offensive sets are usually better @coolkong64

That would definitely make sense then. Thanks a bunch!

[ThreeSidedSquare]

A small thing, wouldn't it make more sense if for raticate, the ability thick fat (over gluttony) would be better, considering this set doesn't use any berries?

Also a good moveset in my opinion for Alolan Raichu.

@WallaceTheChampion you're not going to want a Hasty nature on Raichu as his defence is already a bit low. Better to have a Timid nature because you only really have Fake Out for the flinch and not the actual damage it does. Other than that, pretty standard set. Maybe Psychium Z if paired with Tapu Lele.
