Pokemon #6-Accelgor

Accelgor is a Pokemon that was introduced in Generation 5(Black,White).It is number 123 in the Unova Pokedex and number 617 in the National Pokedex.They say that when its body dries out,it weakens,so to prevent dehydration,it wraps itself in many layers of thin membrane.
Accelgor is a good Pokemon.It is a pure Bug-type,with some good stats and a fairly decent movepool.The speed of this Pokemon is the main attraction here,being 145 Base.Then its attack is ok I guess with 70 Base and its special attack is quite high being 100 Base.The defenses of Accelgor are very poor (80 Base HP,40 Base Def,60 Sp.Def),but there's no reason to use this Pokemon defensively.Accelgor comes with three abilities.Hydration,which heals your status condition in the rain,Sticky Hold,which ensures you that your item will never be taken and as Dream World ability Unburden,which doubles your speed once your held item is used.So,overall not a bad Pokemon.

Lead
-Spikes
-U-Turn
-Bug Buzz
-Focus Blast
Item:Focus Sash
Ability:Sticky Hold/Unburden
EVs,Nature:
252 Speed,130 Sp.Att,126 Att
Naive(+Speed,-Sp.Def)

This is a very effective lead set.Accelgor's insane speed in combination with Focus Sash ensures you that you can set up at least two layers of Spikes which is always nice.U-Turn lets you get out while you hit your opponent with STAB.Bug Buzz in your main option if you want to get damage on your opponent.Focus Blast is there to hit Steel and Rock types,as well as,Ferrothorn which likes to switch in to Accelgor,wall it and set up on it.

Choice Specs
-Bug Buzz
-Energy Ball/Giga Drain
-Focus Blast
-Hidden Power Ice
Item:Choice Specs
Ability:Hydration/Sticky Hold
EVs,Nature:
252 Speed,252 Sp.Att,4 HP

This set can really work with Accelgor,just because of its amazing speed.Bug Buzz is your main option getting STAB and hitting quite hard with Choice Specs.Energy Ball hits water and ground types,but if you want to heal while you hit you can go with Giga Drain,but you lose some power.Focus Blast hits steel types,such as Heatran,Ferrothorn and Excardrill,that like to come in and wall it.Hidden Power Ice take care of the dragons and the birds.

Counters
Accelgor is fast but very frail.So nearly everything will at least 2HKO it.Pokemon with Taunt are also great against the lead set.Mienshao can take it out combining Fake Out and U-Turn/Stone Edge.Scizor can OHKO with CB Bullet Punch.Infernape can live nearly everything(probably not a Focus Blast) and can OHKO with Fire Blast/Overheat/Flare Blitz.Gengar is also great against Accelgor being able to take anything from it,set up a substitute and then hit it with Shadow Ball/Sludge Bomb/HP Fire.

Cool Info:Accelgor is the fastest Generation 5 Pokemon and second fastest non-legendary Pokemon after Ninjask.

Enjoy and have a nice day.
