Your sets could use a bit of direction, less options in terms of EV spreads and movesets would be ideal. Some of your sets have 7-8 options for moves, which is way too much. I'd say 3-4 should be the max, and even then, that's not something you wanna see on every set. Additionally, I'd do away with the "pure bulk" set, it's kind of redundant when you have the RestTalk set. Also, I'd separate the the Wall Breaker set into two different sets: one with Choice Band and one with Life Orb. The Choice Band Set should feature exclusive attacking moves, and an EV spread of 252 hp / 252 atk. The Life Orb set could potentially run some Speed EVs as well as have Swords Dance as an option. Finally, you don't have natures on any of your spreads. Adamant, Impish, and Careful should do the trick most of the time, with Jolly for the Choice Scarf set.
Ah, right. Natures. Can't believe I forgot those considering how important they are. Will add them.
I appreciate the constructive criticism on the moves and EVs. I only listed that many coverage moves since there's a lot of things it could run. I'll remove some of them from the listed options. Create an Other Moves section and mention them there...as for the EVs, I don't have enough experience yet to comfortably say what might be a good spread outside of the 2 stat ones. Any ideas for the weird balanced bulk spreads?
Will account for the main difference between the Choice Band and Life Orb sets.
My main argument for the Pure Bulk set existing is due to the nature of ResTalk. You lose half your move slots when running it, and anything else you use has to be spammable to some degree. I could merge it with the Hazard Setter set though...so I'll do that. I did say they basically function the same way anyways.
