[Overview]
<p>What was Game Freak smoking when they made this thing? They come up with a cool concept, and then forget to add a 0 after every stat. However, Castform is a great choice to make the opponent rage quit at your originality, and should be used as such, its only strength.
[SET]
name: Special Attacker
move 1: Ice Beam
move 2: Thunderbolt
move 3: Fire Blast / Flamethrower
move 4: Shadow Ball / Energy Ball
item: Life Orb / Expert Belt
nature: Modest
evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>This set is the best chance Castform will have at doing anything. The basic idea is to hope that you opponent runs level 50 Pokemon after a bout of VGC battles, and then possibly do some damage. Castform can abuse its sky-high base 70 Special Attack with BoltBeam and a Fire-type move. The last slot is whatever useless coverage move you feel like choosing, based on whether you want to attack from the shadows or with massive energy. Expert Belt may be used to surprise an opposing level 50 Blaziken into thinking that Castform is locked into Ice Beam, then being surprised by a powerless Thunderbolt.</p>
[SET]
name: Troll
move 1: Rain Dance
move 2: Sunny Day
move 3: Sandstorm
move 4: Hail
item: Damp Rock / Heat Rock / Smooth Rock / Icy Rock
nature: Timid
evs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Castform can endlessly screw with opposing sand teams, and support its own team while dazzling the opponent with its pretty forms. It can run an assortment of shiny rocks to make the opponent's team stare, and abuse its own super-high 262 Speed. If you want to make the opponent rage quit, this is your set. Weather Ball may be used over Hail because Hail is terrible.</p>
[Other Options]
<p>Thunder Wave or Toxic may be used to cripple the opponent, but cause Castform to lose out on coverage. Choice Specs may be used, as may Choice Band with Return, Facade, Avalanche, and a weather. Solarbeam may be used over Hail on the Troll set because it doesn't have a charge turn in sun.</p>
[Checks and Counters]
<p>Read the list of NU Pokemon. To be completely honest, everything on earth counters Castform. Feebas and Magikarp too.
