Hmm Stoutland is pretty awesome, I definitely think that the CB set is going to be the most popular. 100 base Attack along with Scrappy and a solid movepool means that it can hit a ton of stuff supereffectively and be able to spam Return without the worry of Rotom / Spiritomb coming in. The arrival of Stoutland also came quite conveniently, just as Cofag left the tier x)
Stoutland (F) @ Choice Band
Trait: Scrappy
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Fire Fang
- Return
- Superpower
- Wild Charge / Pursuit
Fire Fang is to 2hko Escavalier because otherwise TLC would be pissed~ Superpower smacks around Steelix pretty well, and Wild Charge is for Slowking. Overall, I think that Stoutland will make a good addition to RU, and surely it will not be anywhere close to broken with the reasonably popular Tangrowth being able to sponge pretty much everything that Stoutland can throw at it. Stoutland will fit into fast paced offensive teams very well, particularly teams with Smeargle that abuse entry hazards, because Stoutland won't lose momentum if the opposing team has a ghost due to Scrappy, and the ideal CB Stout switch ins (Rhydon, Steelix, Tangrowth) are all grounded and take Spikes damage
