Monotype Empoleon (Water)

[RoyalReloaded]

Empoleon @ Leftovers / Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Competitive
EVs: 252 HP / 196 SpD / 60 Spe
Calm Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Surf
- Flash Cannon / Roar / Knock Off
- Roost

The emperor is back and ready to compete in Monotype with its new ability and access to Roost! Empoleon has a myriad of utility options such as Stealth Rock, Knock Off, and Roar, allowing it to support its team in various ways. Empoleon is able to set up Stealth Rock, phaze foes with Roar, and deter Defog with Competitive. 60 Speed EVs allow Empoleon to outspeed uninvested Corviknight and 2HKO with +2 Surf, preventing entry hazard removal. Flash Cannon lets Empoleon better deal with Fairy-type Pokemon. Roar can be used instead to phaze setup sweepers such as Manaphy and Spectrier. Knock Off is also a great option, as it allows Empoleon to make progress against Pokemon that rely heavily on their item. Hisuian Samurott is a great teammate for Empoleon; it can use Ceaseless Edge to set up Spikes to further increase hazard damage and threaten Chien-Pao and Kingambit. In return, Empoleon can switch into Fairy-type moves that would make quick work of Hisuian Samurott. Quagsire is another excellent complement for Empoleon, as the two form a nice defensive core, since Quagsire is a physical wall and Empoleon is neutral to Freeze-Dry and provides an Electric immunity.

The Emperor's coming here?!

Empoleon @ Leftovers / Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Competitive
EVs: 252 HP / 196 SpD / 60 Spe
Sassy Calm Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Knock Off / Roar Surf
- Flash Cannon / Surf Flash Cannon / Roar / Knock Off
- Roost

(Set isn't quite right, entire point of those EVs are to outspeed and 2HKO Corv with Surf at +2, so Surf should be mandatory.)

The emperor is back and ready to compete in Monotype with its new ability (+ newfound access to Roost. Roost is more important if you can only pick one for the tagline)! Empoleon has access to a myriad of utility options such as Stealth Rock, Knock Off, and Roar, allowing it to support its team in various ways. Empoleon's new ability, Competitive, allows it to tie everything together perfectly. (Sentence doesn't add anything) Empoleon is able to set up Stealth Rock, phaze out foes with Roar, and prevent hazard removal (via Defog) deter Defog with Competitive. 60 Speed EVs allows Empoleon to outspeed uninvested Corviknight and 2HKO with +2 Surf, further preventing helping to prevent hazard removal (could maybe just talk about Competitive here and remove it from last sentence, might flow better. Up to you). Flash Cannon is an option instead in order to have an easier time dealing with Fairy-type Pokemon such as Flutter Mane, Hatterene, and Alolan Ninetales. Roar is a great option for Empoleon to get rid of set up sweepers such as Manaphy and Spectrier, as well as applying more Stealth Rock damage to the Pokemon that are forced in. Knock Off is also a great option, as it allows Empoleon to make progress against Pokemon that rely heavily on their item, such as Articuno, Corviknight, and Greninja. Physically Defensive Rotom-W is a great teammate for Empoleon, as it provides a valuable Ground-type immunity and provides a slow Volt Switch to help Empoleon get in easier. Manaphy is also a strong teammate, as the hazard and Knock Off support from Empoleon allows Manaphy to set up and take KOs easier (Up to you whether you want to add this or replace Manaphy but I feel like Samu-H is a good teammate to mention. Sets Spikes to compound on Empo's rocks, appreciates Empo warding off Defog and taking Fairy moves, threatens stuff like Gambit and Chien-Pao). Quagsire is another excellent complement for Quagsire, as it provides Unaware support and provides a valuable Electric-type immunity, as well as helping chip down walls with Spikes and Toxic support (defensive core with Empoleon because it's a physical wall, Empoleon is neutral to Freeze-Dry from Articuno, maybe remove previous bit and focus on this because character limit).

QC 1/1, nice work Royal

Flash Cannon lets Empoleon better deal with is an option instead in order to have an easier time dealing with felt clunky here and flash cannon isn't slashed, so saying it's an option felt out of place too Fairy-type Pokemon. Roar can be used instead is a great option for Empoleon to phaze get rid of setup remove space sweepers (rc) such as Manaphy and Spectrier. Knock Off is also a great option, as it allows Empoleon to make progress against Pokemon that rely heavily on their item. Hisuian Samurott is a great teammate for Empoleon; remove period, add semicolon it Samurott can use Ceaseless Edge to set up Spikes to further increase hazard damage (rc) and threatens as well as threatening Chien-Pao and Kingambit. In return, transition here feels stark Empoleon can switch into remove space Fairy-type moves that would make quick work of Hisuian Samurott. Quagsire is another excellent complement for Empoleon, as the two form a nice defensive core, since Quagsire is a physical Physical wall (rc) and Empoleon is neutral to Freeze-Dry (add hyphen in Freeze-Dry, remove comma) and provides as well as providing an Electric-type immunity.
