Celebi @ Life Orb

Trait: Natural Cure

Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)

- Leaf Storm / Giga Drain

- Hidden Power (Fire) / Hidden Power (Ice)

Offensively, Celebi is usually seen as a Nasty Plot sweeper. However, due to the use of Recover, the Nasty Plot set is limited to only two attacking moves, giving it minimal type coverage. This set aims to take advantage of the good type coverage Celebi has with a non-boosting offensive set.

STAB Leaf Storm hits like a truck, however, after using it you are vulnerable to Pursuit. Giga Drain is the safer alternative, and the healing helps with Life Orb recoil. Hidden Power (Fire) is useful for its ability to hit Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and most importantly, Scizor, super-effectively. However, Hidden Power (Ice) is useful, too, for its ability to KO Dragonite after Stealth Rock damage. Psychic is a solid secondary STAB attack, and it also beats down Conkeldurr, Gengar, and the like. Without Earth Power, however, Heatran walls you. Earth Power also helps against Ninetales and hits Jirachi harder than Hidden Power (Fire) does. Recover allows Celebi to continue its rampage, as its natural bulk allows it to survive most neutral hits. With so many options, attack choice should be based upon what your team needs most.

Even with three attacks, Celebi can't handle everything. Depending on your move choice in slots 2 and 3, pick your teammates appropriately. For example, if you opt to use Psychic, make sure you have a counter to Heatran, such as Jellicent. In short, with three attacks, Celebi's diverse type coverage can allow it to eliminate more threats than usual.
