sigh what a versatile mon...



Exploud @ Life Orb / Silk Scarf
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpDef / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Boomburst
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Taunt

I noticed it got Taunt so after about 30 minutes of thinking of ways it could use it, since Work Up was stolen and Im not lordly enough to post a Whirlpool set (hint hint). Probably the biggest use is to stop Defog on Webs, as Exploud outspeeds most defoggers, even those unaffected by webs. It also lets it beat like Cresselia if you taunt it on the switch since Cresselia is unable too Moonlight off the damage as well as Cradily for the same reasons. The item is all up to you, I like Life Orb because of the damage but Silk Scarf is useful too. It also lets you stop Calm Minders from setting up on you (lol) and prevents Rocks in clutch situations. The versatility of switching moves also is very useful for this set.

- Work Up

Damn, as soon as I saw this I found my idea but no someone already took it.

Found something better as you can see.

Ya see right here is genius. You set up a sub on the switch then work up and proceed to sub into salac.

Maybe be easily revenge but if you get a sub and a work up it could potentially be looking good.

I have the standard Boomburst with my coverage of choice, in my case I like Focus Blast more to hit steelix and other mons but fire blast is more accurate and could be cool too.

All depends on the coverage you want you can run any attack you choice tbh.

In one of these slots barring maybe Boomburst or sub maybe you can slide in a surprise endeavor.

Get Exploud in, force a switch to their Boomburst tank and hit it with Fake Tears, either they switch out again or whatever they sent in takes massive damage. This thing really has so few good moves it's no wonder people say it's so braindead.

Where is the mixed Work Up? Anyway


Exploud @ Leftovers
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 Def / 236 SpD / 20 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Bold Nature
- Boomburst
- Work Up
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

The only thing Exploud ALWAYS does is spam Boomburst, and it lacks recovery so why not RestTalk? Fuck Cradily and fat SDef walls without phazing when you set up on them easily. Just pair with some TSpikes and Cobalion for the eventual Abomasnow. 20 Spe EVs outspeed Hitmontop and I'll edit the defensive investment since it was that on my team and I forgot why due to me being ill / urge to sleep but if you want you can use SpA investment.

Exploud @ Choice Scarf

btw make sure to predict Cobalion

252 SpA Exploud Boomburst vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mega Glalie: 216-255 (71.7 - 84.7%) -- 75% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

252 SpA Exploud Boomburst vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Heliolisk: 189-223 (71.3 - 84.1%) -- 50% after LO round and rocks

Ability: Soundproof

- Fire Blast
- Surf
- Shadow Ball

Soundproof because no one keeps their ghosts in on boomburst and you can counter enemy explouds with it, shadow ball gives you a 100% acc move vs doublade and wrecks jellicent. But you still only ever need boomburst.

also my vote is for Pearl.

Every move is 100% accurate Vs Doublade, silly :p

a set like helias's honestly seems like wasting turns + what avoids a 2hko from specs boost and would be crippled significantly by tears anyway
