Stallbreaker
########
name: Stallbreaker
move 1: Toxic
move 2: Super Fang
move 3: Roost
move 4: Brave Bird / Taunt
ability: Infiltrator
item: Eviolite
evs: 248 HP / 216 Def / 44 Spe
nature: Impish

Moves
========
- toxic is the most important move, as it can hit through substitute which is important in order to beat Substitute users like braviary or meloetta
- super fang is good as it halves the opponent's hp no matter what
- roost is for recovery, and allows bat to outstall opps
- brave bird is good damage
- taunt is good in order to prevent recovery or opposing taunts, or to prevent further set up

Set Details
========
- most physical bulk possible, 248 for sr number; eviolite because yay def/spdef boosts
- 44 spe outspeeds 0 spe drapion and possibly taunt the taunt or toxic spikes, or if its weakened brave bird to finish it off before it could knock off
- impish for more bulk
- spdef spread can be used instead

Usage Tips
========
- use as a stallbreaker that can annoy stall, and against semi-stall or bulky offense it can shut down set up mons/substitute mons
- use toxic to put a timer on mons that depend on substitute such as: subroost moltres, subBU brav, subCM meloetta
- use a combination of toxic + super fang to bring pokemon down faster
- roost up when needed
- if needed, finish off mons with brave bird

Team Options
========
- sweepers that can seal a game when things have been weakened; jolteon sharpedo scarf moltres
- wallbreakers can appreciate bat's ability to cripple walls or remove them; LO moltres specs melo LO druddigon
- pokemon like alomomola and registeel like SubBU braviary and gallade gone
- gligar or hitmontop/hitmonlee for defog or rapid spin, to remove rocks which could cripple golbat
- if using phys def spread, then special walls in general, like slowking, are appreciated to handle special attackers

Shouldn't taunt>brave bird to prevent heal bell and recovery

most common user of aromatherapy is aromatisse which can't be taunted anyway, and brave bird is needed to finish off Pokemon after some rounds of toxic and super fang.

i do mention taunt prevents recovery though.. golbat has 4mss in almost all of its sets and this is no exception :[ cant do anything, both moves are good and important but it cant have both.

ehhhhhh, now that i think about it

QC Rejected 1/3

From what i've seen of this set it actually doesn't really do that good of a job at breaking stall tbh (especially because it can't have Taunt and Brave Bird at once, that's a problem), and the set itself really just kinda looks like Defog Golbat without the Defog to me :x.
