Pretty much. Drain Punch / Leech Seed / Spiky Shield / Spikes is your best bet for a set.What's the GOAT set since Chester got Drain Punch? Just standard but Drain > Hammer?

Judging by his previous team posts, as well as my own personal experience, I would run 224 Speed. This outruns both max Speed Jolly Azumarill, and also outspeeds the standard 44 Spe Rotom-W (which itself aims to also outspeet Jolly Azu). That way you can hit Rotom-W with Wood Hammer before it WoWs you or Volt Switches out.How much speed would you recommend?
i just dont understand how you guys dislike assault vest on this guy. I mean, its a knight/paladin themed pokemon... More armor > less armor.
Now seriously, ive been having lost of fun with Drain Punch/Hammer Arm/Spikes/Roar set. I often miss not having Spiky Shield, but i used it mostly to scout choices, so missing it is not too bad.
AV Chesnaught is not good. You give up your support options and ability to stay alive in exchange for an inferior Conkeldurr that can't absorb status. You can't really take advantage of PuP because you don't have the speed or priority to threaten offense while Stall just throws Mega Sableye at you and laughs.Hammer Arm? Is that a typo? I can't see the point in having it when you have Drain Punch. If want something that hits harder you may as well go for Wood Hammer for better coverage.
The set I've been using is AV with Wood Hammer / Drain Punch / Stone Edge / Power Up Punch. Many people may disagree with PUP but you'd be surprised how many teams get thrown off by the +1 boost.
Is Drain Punch really that good? Granted I used a physically defensive one, but drain punch hits piss weak w/o attack investment. Fighting weak pokemon most likely won't stay on Chesnaught, so I recover like 8% of health. Most of the time, I click leech seed first, so I don't really have the chance to make use of DP, and poor recovery anyway. I use toxic or Roar on that slot.
Unless I'm doing it wrong @_@
It's not good to have no attacks and there's no reason to use Hammer Arm over Drain Punch cause neither is doing all that much damage in the first place. Wood Hammer+Drain Punch is good too, as above poster said.
