Carnivine@Life Orb
Adamant
252HP/100Def/152Atk
-Power Whip
-Crunch
-Sleep Powder
-Sword's Dance
Easy OHKO with neutral nature and no attack EVs.
Has a little oomph to make sure it hits the common switch-in for respectable damage.
If it gets an SD, it's pretty tough. SD LO STAB Power Whip off base 100 attacks hurts pretty hard, turns out.
