Hadron Engine Sandy Shocks is a powerful attacker with good STAB coverage and utility in Spikes. Choice Scarf outspeeds major threats like Iron Bundle, Dragapult, Choice Scarf Chi-Yu, and +2 Modest Polteageist, while Choice Specs better pressures opposing walls like Ice Scales Corviknight and Iron Treads. Spikes forces progress even when the opponent has a solid answer to Sandy Shocks, such as Ting-Lu. Sandy Shocks pairs well with strong attackers like Dragapult and Iron Valiant, as they take advantage of weakened special walls and can fire off Terrain-boosted Thunderbolts. Sandy Shocks also appreciates Pokemon that can switch into Ground-type attacks, such as Corviknight, which also gives a slow U-turn to bring Sandy Shocks in safely, and Garchomp, which can also help with stacking entry hazards. Entry hazard removal is particularly helpful, as the Pokemon that usually switch into Sandy Shocks, like Ting-Lu, will often use the opportunity to set entry hazards.
