Forretress --*Sturdy | Bold | Leftovers
240 HP | 216 Def | 52 SAtk
Spikes | Rapid Spin | Volt Switch | Hidden Power Ice

This set is really great for teams that are weak to physical dragons and CB outrage spam. Forretress has great physical bulk to tank outrages, but it can't do much back to dragons. I Hidden Power Ice is the trump card here. It 2HKOs threats like Gliscor and Landorus as well as the every 4X weak dragon. This means that it can easily overcome big threats while securing a kill. I find this set incredibly useful on sun teams who usually have trouble with stuff like CB Dragonite and Rock Polish Landorus (Landorus can KO with Earth Power, but volt switch is usually predicted when they come in so you can HP ice predicting that and 2HKO or predict the RP.

All in all a great set and lure and I would really recommend anyone to try it out
