Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Shell Smash
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Ice Beam
Simple, but oh so effective. I'm using it with screens support to make setting up a Smash even easier, and a cleric waiting in the wings to deal with an inopportune Thunder Wave. I went for Water Veil over Swift Swim for the sake of being safe from burns, but running it with rain support and Swift Swim seems very powerful too. Not a lot in PU can actually deal with all of its attacks, and those that can have nothing to do back. I'll definitely be using this guy a bit more, I think. :) |
Huntail is a huge threat with its excellent coverage and great power after a Shell Smash, but believe it or not the Chinchou set that I posted earlier actually beats it.(Dat Viability :O) A White Herb set gets 2HKOed by Discharge while only 3HKOing Chinchou with +2 Crunch. A Life Orb set on the other hand does about 64% - 75% to Chinchou but dies to a Discharge after LO recoil!
I think we can consider Chinchou a the first discovered Huntail counter in PU.(Offensive Carracosta can take a single +2 Waterfall but only does about 1/2 with Stone Edge. Defensive gets 2HKOed and fails to kill as well.)
