Creative moveset? Try Sawsbuck. Now, you think Sawsbuck in ou, you think sun, right? While I do use him on my sun team to much success, what I wanted to bring to attention today is how viable he is in rain
now, take a Venasaur, he just killed something, and now you send in Politoed, like any sane person would. The opponent now has two options. Switch to tales, or OHKO poli with a grass attack. Now, say he goes for a seed bomb
BAM! In comes Sawsbuck, now with a +1 - Earthquake OHKO
now, lets say he switches, this Sawsbuck came prepared - call me crazy again, but my Sawsbuck is scarfed - what does this mean? Earthquake OHKO, even on max timid tales. A gimmick, I admit, but it does it's job...
Now I know, this isn't just my sun counter, it's my general Grass absorber, and works well against sand too - beating lo or Yache Landorus and killing it with return. Also beats scarf or +dd t-tar, and even killing sand's saving grace, Gastrodon. Thanks to Jump Kick and EQ, it can also kill Steel Types like (BAN ME PLEASE)... Ferro, Scizor and Forry, however, can't be killed :(
regardless, it's creative, and does it's job... Scarf Sawsbuck
