♪ just keep digging ♪

Overview
########

  • definite niche in arena trap, which can selectively remove certain 'mons from play
  • amazing speed tier, outspeeds almost every commonly used 'mon
  • is an amazing revenge killer that very easily cleans up late game
  • decent coverage and typing
  • fairly poor attack stat, so its easily walled
  • has the bulk of wet tissue paper, so its KOed easily

Focus Sash
########
name: Focus Sash
move 1: Earthquake
move 2: Stone Edge
move 3: Reversal
move 4: Memento/Stealth Rock/Toxic
ability: Arena Trap
item: Focus Sash
evs: 4 Hp/ 252 Atk / 252 Spe
nature: Jolly / Adamant

Moves
========

EQ is obligatory STAB, and hit 'mons you trap such as Cobalion, Delphox, and Rhyperior
Stone Edge is for flying types that are immune to EQ, and forms the infamous EdgeQuake combo
Reversal is obnoxiously powerful when you drop to your sash, even more powerful than EQ after STAB
Memento give a setup sweeper an optimal chance to set up, great because you can pick and choose fodder
Stealth Rock is a good move, and almost guaranteed to be set up thanks to the Sash
Toxic helps break down walls that can't escape you, such as Alomomola and Gligar

Set Details
========

max attack and max speed to get maximum power and outspeed 'mons you trap. Jolly is preferred, since Adamant only speed ties with base 105s, but Adamant can be used for more power

Usage Tips
========

frail, so don't switch it in on non-electric attacks
bring it in on free switches to trap the opponent
save the sash by not switching in on hazards

Team Options
========

defogger / rapid spinner to protect the sash
setup sweepers that like the removal of certain threats duggy can KO
Fire types to beat grass types that wall it, such as Tangrowth and Virizion, as well as Bronzong, who outright walls

Set Details

SubClaws set
Night Slash is more reliable than Sucker Punch, but is weaker and doesn't have priority

Ok there's a few thing a. No hp ice duggy's SpA is ass b. Qc can weigh in on this but I feel choice band should be the only item for the second set and additionally move it up to the first set and finally: on the sash set move stealth rock down to a slash on the 4th moveslot as reversal is one of the only reasons to use sash duggy at all. Never mind on the finally thing, there's no mention from what I can see of being one of if not the best revenge killers around so stress that.
