[SET]
name: Memento Support
move 1: Memento
move 2: Earthquake
move 3: Sucker Punch
move 4: Stealth Rock
item: Focus Sash
ability: Arena Trap
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
- Memento is the real focus of the set, the other moves are just mildly useful
- You're using Memento 9 out of 10 times when you come in
- Earthquake is really weak but can be useful for 2HKOing Nidoqueen and Drapion
- Sucker Punch is good for getting that extra 20% off some threatening sweeper, but like Earthquake is ridiculously weak
- Stealth Rock can be used if you know that you're faster than your opponent and have a turn to spare, and it's obviously good to get up
- Can really only be used on offensive teams
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- EVs are pretty simple, Speed is the only thing that really needs to be maxed out, and you can maximize Attack to increase Diglett's nonexistent power or maximize HP instead to increase Diglett's nonexistent bulk
- Sash ensures that Diglett will almost always get a Memento off, and can maybe let it switch in and Memento slow stuff like Escavalier
- Arena Trap obv
- You can use Hone Claws to do some amount of damage if you come in on a Choiced Electric move but no one really uses those much anymore besides Rotom-C which is scary
- This set pairs best with things that are really scary after one turn of setup but often struggle to get that turn in; think stuff like Linoone, Omastar, Fraxure, etc.
- Whimsicott can start that MEMENTO CHAIN and has Taunt to keep Diglett's Sash intact
- A good offensive Spiker can be good too, such as Smeargle, Accelgor, and even Qwilfish can use Taunt to do work
[Other Options]
- Choice Band to hit marginally harder
- Choice Scarf is kinda outclassed by Focus Sash to increase the chances of getting a Memento off
- There's no reason to use Diglett other than Memento
[Checks and Counters]
- Kind of a difficult Pokemon to counter, because of Arena Trap and the fact that it typically kills itself with Memento
- Aerodactyl has a fast Taunt and beats it
- Cinccino has multi-hit moves to break Diglett's Focus Sash
- Pokemon with phazing moves can stop the impending setup of Diglett's teammates
- Regirock has Clear Body
- Anything that's decently bulky and isn't weak to Earthquake can probably beat Diglett one-on-one
- Extremely prone to priority
- Needs its Sash intact to live literally any attack, it has like 10/25/45 defenses
