Sawsbuck @ Life Orb
Trait: Sap Sipper
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 HP / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Horn Leech
- Return
- Nature Power

sawsbuck is an fast pokemon that can sweep through unprepared teams with ease. with it being somewhat frail, the ability to gain a free attack boost from switching in on grass moves is quite useful. i use an sd+lo set, which i arguably think is the best set to use with it, due to not being choice locked or weather reliant (it also gets chlorophyll) to be useful. thanks to emboar (which could live unboosted nature power and ko back with stab) absol and cinccino (which revenge kill it) leaving the tier, it has become more viable in nu.
