one of my most original sets



Sceptile (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Overgrow
EVs: 168 Atk / 88 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Leaf Storm
- Rock Slide
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Earthquake / Giga Drain

Category: Underrated Moveset

What's different about the set: Sceptile always use the set pure Special or Physical, this set work more like pseudo-wall breaker and lure, this set is mixed from Special LO and Physical but without option to boost with Sword Dance.

Why it works: Well, with this set you can hit Fire and Grass types with Earthquake / Rock Slide and Hidden Power Fire respectively. The best part is that your opponent dont know that you using this set, if you use one attack then your opponent will think that you are using Special LO or Sword Dance LO then you can just lure mons like Moltres and Cryogonal SpD always HKOed from Rock Slide without Stealth Rocks. In the other hand, Roselia has high chance of HKO with Stealth Rocks in the field. Leaf Storm is the strong STAB with Overgrow and in the last slot Earthquake probably is the best option since can hit poison types, Giga Drain is a good option thought. Spikes support is great for this set.

Positives/Negatives: For example Sword Dance Escavalier and Quiver Dance Lilligant without Hidden Power Rock are good teammates, this depends of your team if is lure oriented, you can beat some Special and Physical walls with only this set. This set needs run Naive Nature since you can take better for example Extreme from Entei (priority attacks mainly). Also, this set can run more Evs in SpA but you need always Stealth Rocks in the opposite field.
