Potential Sets:
1. SolarMander @ Berry Juice / Expert Belt
Nature: Timid
EVs: (WIP)
Ability: Solar Power
- Fire Blast
- Hidden Power Grass
- Rock Slide / Dragon Pulse
- Dragon Dance / Nitro Charge
- Solar Power raises Charmander's Special Attack to a whopping 22
- Shallow but workable Special movepool
- Fire Blast + HP Grass has good neutral coverage
- Fire/Grass is resisted by Fire (plus Mantyke) and Dragon; handled by Rock Slide and Dragon Pulse respectively
- can use Dragon Dance to become more of a sweeper, also boosts Rock Slide's power
- can use Nitro Charge for more Special-ized sets, but is blocked by Flash Fire
- reliant on sunlight for damage output, so weak to weather-inducers, whether automatic or otherwise; Vulpix support would help a ton
- best Solar Power user in Little Cup (the only other being Sunkern)
- loses to priority
Charmander @ Life Orb / Berry Juice
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 44 HP / 180 Atk / 12 Def / 36 SpD / 236 Spe
Ability: Blaze
- Dragon Dance
- Flare Blitz
- Brick Break
- Thunderpunch
- Only Fire-type to get Dragon Dance, beats Bronzor and Teshiido more easily than Dragon-type DDers
- mostly same as 4th Gen DDmander
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 44 HP / 180 Atk / 12 Def / 36 SpD / 236 Spe
Ability: Blaze
- Swords Dance
- Nitro Charge
- Dragon Claw
- Substitute / Fire Punch / Flare Blitz
- Only LC Poke other than Torchick to get SD + Nitro Charge
- unique because Charmander has better offensive coverage than Torchic, the other LC Poke to get said combo (Torchic gets Speed Boost anyway, LOL)
- Substitute helps for setup when used in the last slot, but Fire Punch or Flare Blitz is an option too if you don't want to rely on Nitro Charge's poor BP (Fire Punch needs to be transferred from Gen IV, but is compatible with Nitro Charge TM)
- still ridiculously priority-weak
