[Overview]
- Mozonu is one of the most unique Pokemon in Little Cup, due to its ability and typing.
- It has pretty good resistances and one immunity.
- One-dimensional due to Hustle, but very dangerous.
[SET]
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Crunch
move 2: Outrage
move 3: Fire Fang
move 4: Ice Fang / Draco Meteor
item: Choice Scarf
ability: Hustle
nature: Jolly / Hasty
evs: 20 HP / 236 Atk / 36 Def / 212 Spe
Set Description:
- Very hard to switch into since it packs great overage and powerful STAB attacks.
- Coverage makes him an effective revenge killer, however Attacks are innacurate.
- Outrage and Crunch hit hard, Outrage is for sweeping late game while Crunch does a lot of damage.
- Fire Fang hits Steel-types super effectively.
- Ice Fang hits Gligar and other Dragons super effectively (without resorting to Outrage).
- Draco Meteor makes a decent hit and run attack if you feel like putting your spare EVs in Special Attack.
- Croagunk's Vacuum Wave ruins its day. Wynaut is a great counter for Croagunk.
- Ice Shard ruins its day. Bronzor can help with excellent defenses and Stealth Rock.
[Team Options]
- Something to remove Pokemon faster than 21, since that's the best way to stop Monozu.
- Wynaut is effective at removing Scarfers, while the ones it doesn't beat are taken care of by Stealth Rock.
- Ghost-types are excellent at absorbing priority attacks, namely Ghosts that have a secondary typing to resist Bullet Punch and Ice Shard or Aqua Jet.
- A special set or mixed set could work since Monozu has access to Draco Meteor, Earth Power, and Dark Pulse, however it's Special Attack is generally just too low.
- If forced to Outrage, Steels can stop it, but they need full HP to take a 270 Base Power Outrage.
- Wynaut can take it out with Counter if it switches into Ice Fang or Fire Fang.
- Croagunk has priority to OHKO it.
- Anything with Ice Shard can revenge kill it.
