    Teambuilding Exercise - Plug the Gaps

    Free to a good writer [Overview] Good alternative to Hitmontop Handles Latios, Cresselia, etc. much better, but at the cost of being vulnerable to Hitmontop itself, Terrakion, etc. Some of this is mitigated by Intimidate Much more shallow movepool than Hitmontop [SET] name: Bulky Fake Out...
