Hitmonchan (Bulk Up)

You do know most of those situations will present themselves like... never... right? In all of them you already start at +1 and with a Sub, and considering things like Registeel should be switching out of this set and not in, that makes those calculations even more absurd. From a more realistic point of view, this is what would happen:

Milotic: Shouldn't even be switching in as, IIRC, it's 2HKOed by Thunderpunch, or close to that.
Registeel: Really...?
Venusaur: Again, lowsy switch because of the high amount of damage it takes from Ice Punch. However, given the fact your opponent is completely out of counters and decides to bring Venusaur in, if you get a Sub as it switches in, you still won't beat it, as you haven't Bulked Up.
Arcanine: No Bulk Up no deal OHKOing this, and you have neglected Intimidate.
Rotom: Without Bulk Up it'll never be 3HKOed, which means you'll eat a Burn or die due to repeated Thunderbolts.
 
I'm putting this set up for QC Rating.

Pros:
- Has devastating potential
- Boosts Hitmonchan's lower Defense stat
- Iron Fist makes attacks hurt even harder
- Decent coverage
Cons:
- Low Speed and HP stats put off many people
- Sub+LO will wear down Hitmonchan quickly

I can't really think of other pros and cons right now, but you get the idea. I personally think that this set deserves a spot on Hitmonchan's analysis. Any other opinions?
 
this should be the set:

Hitmonchan @ Leftovers
160 HP, 252 Atk, 96 Spe, Adamant
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Ice Punch
- Substitute / Mach Punch / Thunderpunch

enough speed for torterra, drain punch is good and stuff, mach punch for priority, thunderpunch for bulky waters, ice punch for grasses. sub + bulk up is good, you don't need focus punch and you're really only going to get one or the other 99% of the time so might as well make it bulk up since there's already a subpunch set onsite.

QC APPROVED 1/2
*KOFFING*

(Whoever the new author is going to be) Mention that, if using Substitute, Focus Punch can go over Drain Punch.
