[Overview]
- has good attack and speed to make for a strong sweeper
- both of its abilities are excellent
- no real set-up moves outside of claw sharpen
- pretty shallow movepool, but it has what it needs (although it would like Sucker Punch)
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Earthquake
move 2: Trickery
move 3: Stone Edge
move 4: Pursuit / Return
item: Choice Scarf
ability: Overconfident
nature: Adamant / Jolly
evs: 36 HP / 180 Atk / 236 Spe
Set Description:
- Tries to take advantage of Meguroko's ability by snagging a revenge kill and then being very hard to stop thanks to a +1 attack boost
- very good coverage with edgequake + trickery
- Adamant is the better nature since it needs the power boost more than it needs the speed boost
- Mantyke is an excellent partner thanks so fantastic defensive synergy
- spikes/sr work very well to get Pokemon down into KO range
- Hippopotas is also a great partner to wear down Pokemon from SS making it easier to KO them
name: Non-choiced attacker
move 1: Earthquake
move 2: Trickery
move 3: Stone Edge
move 4: Substitute
item: Oran Berry / Life Orb
ability: Intimidate / Overconfident
nature: Adamant / Jolly
evs: 36 HP / 180 Atk / 236 Spe
Set comments:
- Uses intimidate to force switches to either sub or outright attack
- great to lure out pokemon like scyther who would want to switch in on a choiced EQ but end up getting subbed on and nailed by stone edge
- berry juice gives it good bulk, especially alongside intimidate
- Overconfident works too, but you have a harder time subbing
- Adamant is probably the better nature since it really likes the power boost and 16 to 17 speed doesnt outspeed all that much
- Salac berry could work too
- Gunks switches on anything that isnt EQ
- Bronzor is a good one but is hit hard by trickery
- Gigar (kinda)
- Hippopotas (kinda)
- Snover but it cant switch in on Stone Edge
