What a beautiful face, I have found in this place
[OVERVIEW]
* Very effective Suicide Lead thanks to Taunt and Explosion, allowing it to set up Stealth Rocks Easily.
* Explosion means that Rapid Spin or Defog will fail, and allows a friendly Pokemon to switch in safely.
* Can use Skill Swap to get around Magic Bounce, allowing Azelf to set up Stealth Rocks.
* Is countered by faster Taunt users such as Alakazam and Aerodactyl.

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========
* Azelf is meant to get Stealth Rocks up as fast as possible, which it can do thanks to its high speed tier.
* Explosion is incredibly powerful and prevents the opponent from getting rid of hazards.
* Taunt prevents the foe from setting up hazards of their own or from using Defog to get rid of them.
* Fire Blast can be used to OHKO Scizor and Forretress and has a chance to kill Bisharp.
Set Details
========
* 252 EVs into Attack allow Explosion to hit as hard as possible, while the rest are put into Speed to ensure that Azelf is faster than its opponent. 4 Spa EVs are to make sure that Fire Blast can OHKO Scizor.
* Naive Nature is used to make sure that Explosion and Fire Blast are hitting as hard as possible and to make Azelf as fast as possible.
* Focus Sash is essential for a suicide lead like Azelf to guarantee that Stealth Rocks go up.
Usage Tips
========
* You will almost always be leading with Azelf in order to get hazards up as soon as possible into the game.
* If the opponent has a slower hazard setter such as Swampert or Empoleon, use Taunt to prevent them from getting hazards up.
* Fire Blast can deal a lot of damage to Steel-types that come in expecting Explosion.
Team Options
========
* Describe some teammates that would be a good idea to pair with this Pokemon.
