- "Skullduggery!" Can sweep wi' Trick Room or support teammates wi' it
- Psychic be STAB t' hit things
- BoltBeam coverage helps wi' sweeping
- Heal'n Wish be nice t' br'n a TR sweeper in at full health
- Thunderbolt alone has decent coverage wi' Psychic
- "Great Oden's Ghost!" Krookodile be a right pain in the britches if ye don't have Ice Beam
- Fits well on TR teams, support'n th' sweepers by sett'n aloft Trick Room an' us'n Heal'n Wish
- Emboar be a blunderbustingly cool partner as it helps beat down walls an' switches into Dark- an' Bug-type attacks easily
- Appreciates Stealth Rock t' assist a sweep
- Psyshock can be used t' damage special walls better

- "Parrot Strangling Slops Barrel!" Ties wi' Gardevoir, much faster than Beheeyem, an' be bulkier than both
- Calm Mind lets Mesprit increase its attack'n prowess while diminish'n th' power o' special hits
- Psychic be obligatory salt-blastedly good-powered STAB move while Psyshock lets Mesprit punish th' special walls that may come across ye blasted route
- Good coverage thanks t' BoltBeam
- "Gar, Where can I find a bottle o'rum?" Doesn't have as much issue wi' walls as th' previous set, but still wants hazards support more th'n Cap'n Crunch wants 'is cereal
- Hates faster Pokemon that can ohko it such as Krookodile or Sharpedo, so Fighting-types be as good teammates as a pirate an' 'is rum; Poliwrath manhandles both o' them while Mesprit can switch into Psychic-type attacks an' set aloft on weaker Electric- an' Grass-type attacks in return

- "Smoke 'em if yew got 'em, matey!" Has U-turn an' better bulk t' give itself a niche o'er Medicham an' Gallade
- Zen Headbutt be obligatory STAB move that hits unseaworthily hard wi' a Choice Band
- Fire Punch covers th' rogue Steel-types that resist Zen Headbutt
- Ice Punch cows threats like Altaria an' Krookodile into submission t' your pirately swagger
- U-Turn allows Mesprit t' scout switches, while Trick allows Mesprit t' cripple a wall
- Choice Band fer hitt'n lustily hard an' wallbreak'n, Choice Scarf t' check threats
- "Thar She Blows!" Can't hit Sharpedo very salt-blastedly well at all, but non-Trick Room Mesprit basically always loses t' Sharpedo so it's irrelevant
- Appreciates teammates that can take on physical walls like Tangrowth; Moltres deserves a mention fer switch'n into Bug-type attacks easily an' threaten'n wi' carbunculously powerful special moves

- "Heave Ho!" Mixture o' bulk an' power allow it t' serve as an efficient choice item crewmate on th' special side as well
- Psychic be th' STAB move o' choice fer its high power, but Psyshock allows Mesprit t' dispatch special walls
- Thunderbolt an' Ice Beam give Mesprit BoltBeam coverage that allows it t' hit a lot o' things fer neutral damage an', should it carry a Choice Scarf, revenge kill efficiently
- Trick allows Mesprit t' cripple a wall
- Choice Specs gives Mesprit wallbreak'n capabilities while Choice Scarf allows it t' check threats
- Teammates that can take on Special Walls be more helpful than a bilge pump on a stormy ev'ning; Tauros be the salty barnacle for ye cause it can switch into Ghost-type attacks an' deal massive damage t' walls
- Many "Where's The Grub!" support sets be outclassed by Uxie

- This set avoids being outclassed by Uxie because it can actually attack
- Also has Healing Wish to get in a sweeper scot-free
- Psychic is obligatory STAB move to hit random things
- Thunder takes advantage of the rain and also has a neat 30% paralysis chance
- U-turn is also an option over Healing Wish if you have no desire to sacrifice Mesprit
- Kabutops and Ludicolo are great teammates to take advantage of the rain
- You can run an alternate set with Heat Rock and Sunny Day to support a sun team
- Sawsbuck and Victreebel are great in sun
- Snover is annoying as it cancels rain and switches in fairly easily on anything but U-Turn
- You can kill Snover with Bug-, Steel-, or Rock-types; Kabutops is great in Rain and threatens with STAB Stone Edge. Durant also likes Rain's ability to weaken Fire-type attacks and easily ohkoes Snover.
- Fire-types kill snover if you're running Sunny Day
