Oops fell asleep, blame eht lol. Congratulations to Choice Scarf Toxicroak by MrAldo and Stone Edge Chesnaught by Pinboim3 for being the winners of this week <3. The additional winner of the week is Rock Slide Golisopod by mofro5, considering Goli is one of the reasons Noivern was popularized and its not sacrificing from its role for this. New threat coming soon :tm:

Moltres @ Life Orb
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Fire Blast
- Roost
- U-turn​

Okay, we're probably losing this thing soon so lets try to lure it while we have it! Moltres is a really underrated breaker with a surprisingly good offensive typing that lets it threaten basically every rock setter we have while additionally coming in on them for a free turn to do w/e. Lure away :)

 

[Chrisloud1]

Shaymin @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Air Slash
- Seed Flare
- Synthesis
- Hidden Power [Rock]

Hp rock koes moltres, also hits noivern.

 

[Jmash]

Steelix @ Steelixite
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 248 HP / 40 Atk / 220 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Heavy Slam
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

Stone Edge Mega Steelix
Simply Mega Steelix with Stone Edge slapped on the last slot, Moltres can use Steelix as a switch in opportunity to wallbreak, even avoiding potential stealth rocks by switching in before they are set up. However, Stone Edge scores an easy OHKO on the switch, and hits other random stuff like Golisopod and Noivern.

 

[Pinboim3]

Abomasnow @ Abomasite
Ability: Soundproof
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Wood Hammer
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide

Since Moltres resists Obamasnow main STAB and takes Ice shard very well it will be lured to OHKO with Fire Blast or Hurricane but it will take an unexcpected Rock Slide that OHKOs.
