Samurott @ Salac Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 4 HP | 252 Atk | 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
Waterfall | Megahorn | Swords Dance | Substitute

This set is very good and stands out from the ordinary Lum SD set due too Substitute and Salac Berry which are boosting its speed and protects him from status, which in my opinion outclasses the old Lum SD set as it can only protect you from status once and is easely revenge killed even with a +2 Aqua Jet. What this set does and not the ordinary SD set does is beating Alomomola as it can't break his sub at becomes completely setup fodder for Samurott, the niche for this set is just how easy it is to setup with him due to Samurotts decent bulk and Water-typing, which are very good in NU where Water is a very good typing. Also at +2 with a salac boost and Torrent boost Samurott becomes very hard to stop, the set rounds off the coverage with Megahorn which are hitting the majority of Grass and Psychic types like Musharna and Ludicolo hard, it does ohko Ludicolo by ease and that is why Jolly is used too speed tie with Ludicolo. Max attack is used for hitting as hard as possible and the rest in HP for some slight bulk.
