I'd say the sheer power of Sludge Bomb is what makes NPCroak the powerful sweeper it is. Vacuum Wave is just the icing on the cake.Nobody said Toxicroak? NP Toxicroak destroys everything once you send it in on a Milotic or any bulky water for that matter. Let it get one NP in, and its Sludge Bomb can OHKO so many pokemon including things like Mesprit. If it gets two (happens if the person makes the mistake of resting on Toxicroak as it NPs twice. Then it can OHKO Cresselia with a Sludge Bomb. When I first thought of using it I though, "It's going to be the weak link of the team." When I tried it, it ended up getting several kills per match. I fought some notable people here with it (PK Gaming and some others), and it was simply amazing. Too bad it's really underrated seeing how it can easily be overlooked with a simple look at its movepool and finding how it has to resort to Poison for an attacking type. It's not that bad.
What set-up? May give this creepy frog a try xDI've seen it used as a scarf sleep lead mostly, never seen in anywhere but the lead spot. It's a pretty good option if you really really hate miss hax.
EDIT: Oh and I don't know who mentioned it earlier, but this thread inspired me to give Politoed a shot, and I gotta say I'm loving the ugly green bastard.
Butterfree isn't in UU.How is Butterfree in UU? It seems like she would play like Jumpluff but what do I know >_>
Well Butterfree is essentially a worse Jumpluff due to worse defensive and speed stats, absence of Encore, and a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock.People use NU in UU >_> so I was curious as to how it would work out.
I'm using Focus Blast as my last STAB attack. I believe it can OHKO Chansey at +2 if it has some hazard support (I'm using spikes and SR). I originally intended for it to be my answer to rain teams, and never thought I would find anymore use out of it except there because I'm using a very offensive team and base 86 Special attack is something anyone would scoff at.I'd say the sheer power of Sludge Bomb is what makes NPCroak the powerful sweeper it is.

Adamant/JollyI love this absolutely dominates stall could you post ev's?

Wrecks house, stab EQ and Wood hammer. When overgrow activates your nearly guaranteed a kill with wood hammer
Liechi berry is optional
True, but Butterfree's got Compound Eyes for extra accuracy on Sleep Powder (or Stun Spore, if you don't run Scarf, and go Double Powder for some reason...).Well Butterfree is essentially a worse Jumpluff due to worse defensive and speed stats, absence of Encore, and a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock.

I'd go with Leftovers or Life Orb. Lefties gives more bulk which can come in handy against priority and other moves in tight situations, while Life Orb gives the extra boost needed to OHKO Milotic and Slowbro.For RP torterra, has anyone tried it without life orb?
I'm tempted to try liechi but idk how much it needs the extra power
are there any other pokes similar to RP tort I could try out?
