Gen 6 What moveset should Milotic have?

[DystopianPalace]

I have a level 50 Milotic, his stats are:

(+)ATTK: 81
DEF: 103
(-)SPATTK: 133
SPDEF: 132
SPED: 97
Nature: Modest

Current moves:
Scald

How should I improve Milotic to be a tank? (if that's possible)

How should I improve Milotic to be a tank? (if that's possible)

If you're aiming for a tank, you'll have to breed for another one with a bold or calm nature. Bold nature increases DEF and lowers ATK, while the calm nature increases SP DEF and lowers ATK.

Competitive is also a move to dish out damage rather than tank a hit. You should get one with Marvel Scale instead. Marvel Scale doubles your DEF stat if your opponent burns, paralyzes or poisons your Milotic (put to sleep too).

Of course, I hope its IVs are something like 31/x/31/31/31/31 (so that it can perform its best in competitive play).

Now for the sets...

Milotic w/ Leftovers
Moves :
- Scald (burn reduces opponent's ATK stat by 50% and scald has a really good chance of burning a Pokemon).
- Toxic (to cripple your opponent's Pokemon when Milotic isn't dishing out sufficient damage).
- Haze or Dragon Tail (to get rid of Pokemon that aim at setting up on you to sweep).
- Recover (to recover from damage).

Thank you! I'll go breed it and IV train it, thank you again!

If you want a bulky one I'd use Aqua Ring, Recover, Scald, Ice Beam, Marvel Scale and Burn Orb with a defensive nature and EVs of course. If only you replaced AR or Recover with Calm Mind or Amnesia I think it would be OU at best (unless it's already in OU >.>). But I never made one or practiced so idk.
