ROAR Entei
[Overview]
- Entei is a fearsome Pokemon; its good HP, Attack, and Speed mean that it can be a fearsome physical sweeper
- Poor physical movepool however; its second-strongest attack in a vacuum is Return
- Unfortunately outclassed somewhat by Hihidaruma, but it has its niche
- Respectable 90 Special Attack means that it can use its somewhat-wider special movepool
[SET]
Name: Physical Attacker
Move 1: Flare Blitz
Move 2: Stone Edge
Move 3: Return/Iron Head
Move 4: Extremespeed
Item: Life Orb/Choice Band
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
[Set Comments]
- Pressure with Adamant is the only option, as Flare Blitz Entei is an event Pokemon
- Life Orb is the preferred option, as it lets Entei switch between its moves, while still retaining a power boost.
- The EVs are standard on offensive Pokemon
- Nitro Charge can be used over Extremespeed if you wish to attempt a sweep.
- Stealth Rock support is extremely useful when using this set, as it turns many 2HKOs into OHKOs.
