[SET COMMENTS]
- There's a Spearow Life Orb set on-site, and Pidgey has better Special Attack
- Brave Bird + Life Orb = ALOT OF DAMAGE
- Pluck is STAB, and can steal the opponent Oran Berries
- Frustration is STAB and hits hard with Life Orb
- Quick Attack is priority, and can finish off weaken Pokemon
- Faint Attack nails Gastly and other Ghosts types without taking extra recoil from Brave Bird
- Heat Wave takes care of Steel-type Pokemon
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- Hazard support is useful, Phanpy makes a great parnter, being immune to Electric and resistant to rock, and it can lay down Rocks
- EV's give it as much Power as possible, while hitting max speed and max attack
- Rest put into Special Attack and Defense so Heat Wave hits harder as well as having a little more bulk
- 0 HP IVs so it takes only 1 HP from Life Orb recoil
- Again, Fight types to clear rock types are usuful
[Other Options]
- Agility
- Air Slash
- FeatherDance
- Whirlwind
- Toxic
[Checks and Counters]
- Steel-types, must be wary of Heat Wave from LO set however
- Rock-types
- Physical Walls such as Slowpoke and Gligar
- Faster revenge killers
