    I'm not really sure where you're coming with that. Gallade can smack aegislash's face in with earthquake, here's a few stats. Situation 1: Aegislash is faster than gallade and uses shadow sneak: 252 Atk Aegislash Shadow Sneak vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Gallade: 206-246 (60.58 - 72.35%) -- guaranteed...

    [QC READY 0/3] Nidoking

    If I was piloting cloyster I either wouldn't switch it in against nidoking, or i'd take the safe icicle spear KO. I probably wouldn't shell smash.

    [QC READY 0/3] Nidoking

    Elemental punches are terrible to put on him. You put elemental punches on a physical sweeper to deal with niche threats like say gliscor. On nidoking they're pointless! He already has the elemental special attacks. You're much much better off using the special versions, you should be using...

    [QC READY 0/3] Nidoking

    It's very hard to pin down a single moveset, also earth power is probably better than EQ since it avoids recoil and hits harder. Also here are several threats you shouldn't bother covering against: Gliscor Hippowdon Cloyster Tyranitar Tentacruel All of those will 1hko with a SE move before...

    I'd also like dusclops if possible he's working out nicely, since he can deal with unboosted aegislashes and tanks pretty much everything.

    High base attack. Access to a large variety of physical coverage moves, fighting is still good. I also think he might have some chance of countering aegislash (I'm testing it at the moment) In addition, he has insane special defense, and he can make use of Assault Vest to boost it even higher...

    Better accuracy too. I'd always run rock slide over stone edge with sheer force.

    Is Gallade reserved? I can't find him on the lists.

    [QC READY 0/3] Nidoking

    I reckon the mixed set is probably the only niche nidoking can pull off. Starmie is pretty much a straight upgrade if you want a coverage based special sweeper. I think the only thing nidoking truly brings to the table is his ability to go mixed well and his expansive movepool, if you aren't...

    [QC READY 0/3] Nidoking

    I'd like to point out that due to sheer force and life orbs nature, the boost is around 50-60% bonus power to applicable moves (I'm not entirely sure if the percentages are added or multiplied) But the key thing is, it boosts moves whether you invest in a stat or not, for this reason nidoking...
