  • 140 Atk Stantler Hidden Power Fighting vs. 248 HP / 0 Def 30 IVs Tyranitar: 210-248 (52.1 - 61.5%) -- 97.7% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
• If they attack on turn 1 you can predict a switchout using hypnosis or twave on turn 2.

Vs

• The given hp investment allows you to live CB Brick Break ->
  • -1 252+ Atk 30 IVs Choice Band Salamence Brick Break vs. 144 HP / 4 Def 30 IVs Stantler: 273-322 (84.5 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
• Thunder wave turn 1.

Vs

• Hypnosis or hard mag (If you have it, yolo skarm will be intim'd which removes counterplay)
• Stantler has good special attack, thunderbolt could be an option

Vs

• You live any attack from zapdos, even modest thunderbolt.
• Thunder wave turn 1. If they try to sub pass, they will carry the intimidate.

Vs or

• The given hp investment allows you to live modest pump ->
  • 252+ SpA Vaporeon Hydro Pump vs. 144 HP / 0 SpD 30 IVs Stantler: 273-322 (84.5 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
• Thunder wave turn 1 (Trying twice for hypno can also be viable)

Vs or

• Double Edge will OHKO most sets ->

Vs

• You are switching out against medi, Gyarados or Salamence are nice pivot options since medi will be at -2
  • On turn 2 you can switch back into stantler, DD Mence or Gyara will most likelky be slower allowing your stantler to get an intim on the incoming target

Vs

• The given hp investment allows you to live a non-CB mash ->
  • 252+ Atk Metagross Meteor Mash vs. 144 HP / 4 Def 30 IVs Stantler: 272-321 (84.2 - 99.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
• Thunder wave turn 1, if you have a magneton you can revenge CB sets.
• If they are not CB, twave will cripple their meta. Your stantler can be used later for an intim/spike sac.

Just wondering, have you experimented with other moves besides Double-Edge on Swampert?
