[SET]
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Pluck
move 2: Return
move 3: Rock Slide
move 4: U-turn
item: Choice Scarf
ability: Encourage
nature: Adamant / Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 36 Def / 196 Spe
Set Description:
- Hits hard and fast.
- Return is main STAB with Pluck to hit Ghosts.
- Rock Slide hits Scyther, Sneasel, Yanma, Murkrow and Ghosts (to avoid recoil) as well as the Rock / Bugs floating around for super effective damage.
- U-turn allows it to dent it's counter and switch out.
- Thrash can work, 120 BP Normal attack could act similar to Outrage, but with the aid of a Pursuiter for the very specific counters it has.
- Bronzor and other steals can take hits quite easily.
- Rock-types in particular shouldn't be threatened, unless they are weak to Rock Slide or U-turn.
- Stealth Rock makes it hard to abuse U-turn
- Diglett can easily deal with most Rock-types. Otherwise any Ground-type likes to set up on them.
- Magnemite traps and KO most Steel-types in the tier.
- Washibon makes a good lure for Steel and Rock-types, meaning that with Magnemite, it makes a great combo to allow another Pokemon to sweep.

ability: Keen Eye
nature: Jolly
evs: 36 HP / 12 Atk / 36 Def / 196 SpD / 196 Spe
Set Description:
- Switch into a weak physical attacker, and set up Bulk Ups.
- Return is your sweeping move to avoid recoil from Brave Bird, while Pluck hits Ghosts and steals any useful Berries, such as Salac or Liechi.
- Substitute blocks status.
- Can use a Salac Berry set, but it's kind of weak to priority.
- Bronzor and other steals can take hits quite easily.
- Rock-types in particular shouldn't be threatened, unless they are weak to Rock Slide or U-turn.
- Stealth Rock makes it hard to abuse U-turn.
- Diglett can easily deal with most Rock-types. Otherwise any Ground-type likes to set up on them.
- Magnemite traps and KO most Steel-types in the tier.
- Washibon makes a good lure for Steel and Rock-types, meaning that with Magnemite, it makes a great combo to allow another Pokemon to sweep.
- Diglett can easily deal with most Rock-types. Otherwise any Ground-type likes to set up on them.
- Magnemite traps and KO most Steel-types in the tier.
- Washibon makes a good lure for Steel and Rock-types, meaning that with Magnemite, it makes a great combo to allow another Pokemon to sweep.
- A Life Orb + 4 Attacks set could be decent, but Washibon doesn't exactly have the coverage, Speed, or power to pull it off.
- Similarly, a Choice Band set could be destructive, but Washibon is too easy to wall and set up on.
- A mixed set with Air Slash and Hidden Power Fire could be useful to get passed some of Washibon's counters, but it's horrible Special Attack stops it from being effective.
- Bronzor and other steals can take hits quite easily.
- Rock-types in particular shouldn't be threatened, unless they are weak to Rock Slide or U-turn.
- Stealth Rock makes it hard to abuse U-turn.
[Dream World]
- Hustle turns Washibon from a threat to a major threat. Pokemon that resist Washibon's attacks won't be good enough, they'll need an excellent defensive stat.
