Fraxure

Set: Dragon Dance
@ Eviolite
Trait: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SpA)
- Dragon Dance
- Taunt
- Outrage
- Low Kick

Thanks to BW2 tutors Fraxure holds everything it needs to succeed in this simple, but very effective set. Using Eviolite to effectively give itself 66/114/84 defenses and alongside Taunt and Fraxure's share of good resists it can get up a few Dragon Dances up and start to sweep with its perfect coverage in Outrage and Low Kick. Low Kick was a pretty neat move for Fraxure as it lets it deals serious damage to the heavy Rock-type Pokemon such as Golem, Regirock, Probopass, and Lairon, while dealing good damage against Klang. Thanks to Mold Breaker it doesn't even care about Probopass and Laiton's potential Sturdy to stop it from OHKOing. With Max Speed and a Jolly nature it can outspeed Swellow by a single point, a major feat to be proud of. It's main flaw is that its best move, Outrage, locks him into it and could possibly lead to potential Klangs taking advantage and setting up. Fraxure pairs really well with Gurdurr as it can beat Klang and Mawile for Fraxure.

Klang

Set: Grind My Gears (Shift Gear)
@ Eviolite
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 136 HP / 252 Atk / 120 Spe
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
- Substitute
- Shift Gear
- Gear Grind
- Return

Klang is a really good Pokemon thanks to its great Steel-typing and fantastic boosting move in Shift Gear. Klang can set up the the ever-so common Amoonguss, Haunter, Musharna, and Skuntank and deal serious damage to any team. While Klang has barely any coverage moves, Gear Grind + Return actually work really good together as the main Steel-types in the tier are also part Rock and take Gear Grind neutrally. This EV spread allows Klang to hit 332 Speed after a single Shift Gear and outspeed Modest Zebtrika and everything below that. Outspeeding Cinccino or Swellow isn't as big of a deal with Klang as having them out against you means can get an extra Shift Gear off. Klang pairs nicely with Gothitelle as it can trap Gurdurr and other Pokemon such as Rotom-S or Zebstrika, who are common Scarf users capable of outspeeding Klang after a boost and annoy it with Volt Switch or in Zebstrika's case, kill it with Overheat.
