Overview
########

Thanks to amazing speed and Sheer Force, Tauros has a niche over other Normal-type attackers like Kangaskhan and Zangoose. It boasts a high aAttack and has access to a free Life Orb attackboost thanks to Sheer Force, which grants Tauros more staying power than Pokémon whoich suffer from Toxic Orb like Zangoose and Ursaring. It also has access to a decent, coverage movepool, which makes it capable of taking out the Fighting -types, its only weakness. However, the main downside to using Tauros is that the Sheer Force set has an unreliable main attack due shaky accuracy, and the sChoice Scarf set has limited cleaning since its main attacks have no super effective coverage.

move 1: Rock Climb
move 2: Earthquake

Moves

Zen Headbutt offers a great amount of damage on Fighting-types in NU, plus hits Pokémon like Haunter and Weezing hard. Rock Slide grants coverage alongside Earthquake and hits a wider variety of opponents, which improves theTauros's revenge killing power of Tauros. Despite its poor Special Attack stat, Fire Blast is useful to hit physically defensive Pokémon like Ferroseed, Steelix,(AC) and Avalugg, asince it can't beat them with other moves. Thanks to its sSpeed, Tauros has access to clean up capabilities.

Set Details
========

Maxed Speed investment makes Tauros capable of launching powerful hits as quickly as possible, and maxed Attack ensures that it will hit its hardest. The Naïive nature boosts Tauross' Speed while making sure that its Fire Blast is not weakened. A Life Orb is the best item for this set because it provides a valuable power boost for Tauros's moves, and Sheer Force negates Life Orb recoil on all Tauros's attacks but Earthquake.


Usage Tips
========

Bring in Tauros to revenge kill a foe, or into a slow Pokémon to force a switch.


Team Options
========

Tauros is severely crippled by burns. Team mates with Magic Bounce/ or cleric support will be able to fend off the status that Tauros loathes. Bulky Pokémon that resists Fighting-type moves and can quickly get rid of them ,like Granbull, are great team mates(One word) for Tauros as well, as they give Tauros the opportunity to land hits without having to fear for being KOed.
Choice Scarf
########
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Retaliate
move 2: Double-Edge
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Stone Edge
ability: Intimidate
item: Choice Scarf
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
nature: Jolly

Moves
========

Retaliate is a great STAB for a designated revenge killing set such as this, thanks to to the power boost it receives when an ally has fainted. Double-Edge is a very powerful STAB attacking option that is capable of inflicting a ton of damage on a lot of opponents.
Earthquake is a necessity for hitting Steel- and Rock-types, which resist all moves on Tauros's moveset except Earthquake. Stone Edge offers coverage against types like Flying and Ice Pokemon. The Speed allows a clean up capability.

Set Details
========

Full investment in Speed and Attack makes Tauros capable of launching powerful hits quickly. Further, a Jolly nature boosts Tauros's Speed, allowing it to outspeed targets that cannot be outsped with Adamant nature, such as a sChoice carf Typhlosion or a Jolly Barbaracle. The Choice Scarf in combination with Tauros's amazing speed allows it to outspeed any unboosted opponent.

Usage Tips
========

Use Tauros as a powerful lead, or as a revenge killer when one of its allies has just been taken down. Also, be cautious when your opponent has a Ghost-type around; Ghosts can come in on a Choice-locked STAB attack and force Tauros out.(Add a stop)

Team Options
========

Any slow Pokémon with U-Turn/ or Volt Switch will work like Probopass, Uxie,(AC) and Scyther; they grant Tauros a safe switch so Tauros can KO after, although Tauros has enough bulk to take a hit that is not super effective. A special Pokémon that resists Fighting-type moves and has an advantage over it ,such as Mesprit and Exeggutor, is excellent for Tauros as well; this way you can quickly get rid of Tauros' only weakness, and allows it to launch powerful attacks.

Other Options
########

Pursuit is an option to be used to trap Ghost-types. Iron Tail is unreliable and rather niche, but hits Rock-types harder than Earthquake and OHKOs Slurpuff after Stealth Rock. Iron Head is also an option because it has more accuracy and it being more reliable than Iron Tail, but has less power. Wild Charge can be used for its coverage against Flying- and Water-types, but its recoil is unfavourable(you can drop the u.) and other coverage options are preferable.

Checks & Counters
########

**Physically Defensive Pokemon**: Gourgeist, Spiritomb, and Weezing can easily switch in on Taruos's physical attacks and burn it.

**Status**: Tauros absolutely hates Will-O-Wisp and Thunder Wave; it is effectively neutered by having either its Attack or its Speed cut.
(This is what it should be formatted like. You can actually just copy and paste this Checks and Counters section.)
