name: Offensive
move 1: Hydro Pump
move 2: Sludge Wave
move 3: Hidden Power Psychic / Hidden Power Fire
move 4: Scald
ability: Adaptability
item: Eviolite
evs: 116 HP / 116 Def / 200 SpA / 36 SpD / 40 Spe
nature: Modest Nature
Moves
========
- Hydro Pump is the main stab
- Sludge Wave hits a lot of the stuff Hydro Pump doesn't hit
- Hidden Power Psychic KOes Croagunk after Stealth Rock and 1 layer of Spikes, and can hit opposing Skrelp for decent damage. Keep in mind that a neutral Sludge Wave deals more damage than a 2x effective Hidden Power Psychic.
- Hidden Power Fire is an alternative for Ferroseed, but doesnt hit much outside of that, as Skrelp's STABs generally hit harder on opponents that Hidden Power Fire can hit.
- Scald can be used to wear down checks through burns or when a Hydro Pump miss is risky, but is mostly filler.
Set Details
========
- EVs give Skrelp maximum power while maintaining bulk. Specifically, it can survive Fletchling's +2 Acrobatics and OHKO with Hydro Pump, while walling Fighting-types lacking a super-effective move.
- Eviolite is chosen to survive attacks and take hits better in general, although Berry Juice is an option for recovery.
- Adaptability is the reason to run this set, as the power granted by it allows Skrelp to wallbreak effectively. Skrelp's other abilities are simply not worth running.
Usage Tips
========
- Skrelp is best used to check Fighting-types and break through bulky Pokemon

Moves
========
- Scald and Sludge Bomb are STAB moves on this set, each with a good chance to burn or poison respectively. Coupled with the chance of status, they have a good chance of wearing down opposing Pokemon.
- Rest and Sleep Talk provide somewhat reliable recovery and the ability to block/heal status, at the cost of directly choosing a move for two turns.

Other Options
########
- Life Orb with Icy wind is an option, but Skrelp prefers to take hits, and even with Icy Wind, Skrep is lacking on Speed.
