########
- Godly defensive typing coupled with water absorb.
- Has a very odd movepool coupled with some great support options.
- Destroyed by grass types.
- Has balanced stats to the point of nearly being a jack of all trades but master of none.
- Having no physical water stab or ice beam really hurts it's offensive capabilities.
Don't mess with toad kids
########
name: Utilitoad
move 1:Stealth Rock
move 2:Scald
move 3: Earthquake
move 4:Knock off/ Toxic
ability:Water absorb
item: Leftovers
evs: 200 HP/252 Def/ 36 SpD
nature: Relaxed
Moves
========
- Stealth Rock is one of the main cruxes of defensive seismitoad.
- Scald allows you to fish (harharhar) for burns against many physical attackers.
- Knock off lets seismitoad stop passive recovery from leftovers firepower from life orb etc.
- Toxic allows you to cripple walls like porygon 2 although knock off already cripples it.
- Refresh can be used to shake off a toxic.
- Rest while it might be more appealing then refresh the two turns of sleep aren't really desirable.
Set Details
========
- Leftovers allow seismitoad to have constant recovery.
- The evs allow seismitoad to be as bulkily mixed as possible while maintaining a leftovers number for hp.
- A relaxed nature allows Seismitoad to increase it's defense while not losing power to scald or earthquake.
- Chesto berry can be used if running rest.
Usage Tips
========
- Bring it in against a water type such as suicune preferably crocune for a health boost.
- Can be used as a lead because of having access to stealth rock.
- Avoid knock off as much as possible as seismitoad is deadweight without leftovers that is unless your running rest.
Team Options
========
- Pokemon that can beat grass types such as heracross, victini, and noivern.
- Pokemon that really like having a water absorber such as darmanitan, aerodactyl, or houndoom.
- Wish support is optimal from pokemon such as florges and umbreon in addition they both eliminate toxic from seismitoad.
########
- Grass knot to fully check the water types your walling.
- Rain dance for more support.
- Substitute Toxic to bypass status moves and a lot of our counters.
- Sludge bomb to beat some grass types.
- Aqua ring for additional passive recovery.
Checks & Counters
########
- Lots of grass types namely virizion, celebi, and trevenant.
- Opposing water immune mons such as gastrodon and poliwrath.
- A special mention goes to toxicroak as it is immune to scald and resists knock off while threatening it by potentially setting up a bulk up or swords dance however despises an earthquake.
- Bulky waters such a alomomola however crippled by subtoxic.
