[bellchime]

[SET]
Choice Band (Dondozo) @ Choice Band
Ability: Water Veil / Unaware
EVs: 96 HP / 252 Atk / 156 Def / 4 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Wave Crash
- Heavy Slam
- Surf
- Avalanche / Outrage

[SET COMMENTS]
* Heavy Slam beats offensive Sylveon and Choice Band and mixed offense Iron Valiant.
* Surf bypasses Counter from Choice Band Donphan while still beating Endeavor variants.
* Avalanche is for Choice Band Meowscarada, while Outrage is for Walking Wake. Both moves, however, can be used to beat Garchomp, Goodra, and non-Disable Dragapult.
* Water Veil prevents Dondozo from being hit by Will-O-Wisp from Skeledirge and Arcanine, while Unaware gives it a better matchup against Defense Booster Energy Great Tusk and some Espathra sets.
* The HP and Defense EVs let Dondozo survive two Earthquakes from Choice Band Donphan. Maximum Attack EVs are used to maximize Dondozo's damage output. 0 Speed IVs and a Brave nature allow Dondozo to underspeed Endeavor Donphan and beat it with Surf.
* An alternative EV spread of 104 HP / 252 Atk / 152 SpD with a Brave nature allows Dondozo to survive Energy Ball from Modest Choice Specs Iron Moth, which it can OHKO in return with Wave Crash.

* Heavy Slam beats offensive Sylveon and non-Encore + Disable Iron Valiant.
* Surf bypasses counter from Choice Band Donphan while still beating Endeavor Variants.
* Avalanche is for Choice Band Meowscarada, while Outrage is for Walking Wake. Both moves, however, can be used to beat Garchomp, Goodra, and non-Choice Specs and non-Disable Dragapult.
* Water Veil prevents Dondozo from being hit by Will-O-Wisp from Skeledirge and Arcanine Dragapult, while Unaware gives it a better matchup against Defense Booster Great Tusk and some Espathra sets. (Sitrus Berry Arcanine beats Unaware Dondozo with Will-O-Wisp, while Water Veil only matters against Will-O-Wisp Dragapult with Draco Meteor)
* The HP and Defense EVs let Dondozo survive two Earthquakes from Choice Band Donphan. Maximum Attack EVs are used to maximize Dondozo's damage output. 0 Speed IVs and a Brave nature allow Dondozo to underspeed Endeavor Donphan and beat it with Surf.
* An alternative EV spread of 104 HP / 252 Atk / 152 SpD with a Brave nature allows Dondozo to survive Energy Ball from Modest Choice Specs Iron Moth, which it can OHKO in return with Wave Crash.

counter

Counter

* Heavy Slam beats offensive Sylveon and non-Encore + Disable Iron Valiant.

252+ SpA Choice Specs Iron Valiant Thunderbolt vs. 96 HP / 4 SpD Dondozo: 430-508 (92.4 - 109.2%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO
kinda fake + a roll so up to you here

* Avalanche is for Choice Band Meowscarada, while Outrage is for Walking Wake. Both moves, however, can be used to beat Garchomp, Goodra, and non-Choice Specs and non-Disable Dragapult.

252 SpA Choice Specs Dragapult Draco Meteor vs. 96 HP / 4 SpD Dondozo: 373-441 (80.2 - 94.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Dragapult Thunderbolt vs. 96 HP / 4 SpD Dondozo: 346-408 (74.4 - 87.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
doesnt run modest, just say non-Disable

2/2, implement properly.
