Marowak (Iron Defense)

[Venusaur]

I've not yet tested this since I'm out of the U.S. and this country's censorship is very strict, but I've been doing some research and hopefully someone will test this and get back to me.
** I know Marowak isn't UU, but I've nowhere else to post.


[SET]
Marowak
name: Iron Defense
move 1: Toxic
move 2: Iron Defense
move 3: Knock Off / Double-Edge
move 4: Earthquake
item: Leftovers
nature: Impish
evs: 106 Atk/252 Def/148 SpD.

[Stats: 262 HP, 222 Attack, 350 Defense, 126 Speed, 122 Special Attack, 233 Special Defense.] ** At max IVs.

The thought:
Marowak has a nice 110 base defense, yet the two sets mentioned on the Strategy dex don't have anything but offensive sets. With this moveset, you can strengthen Marowak, while at the same time doing some good damage on the side. The 106 attack EVs help boost his attack to a good 222, still allowing him to chip off some HP along with the toxic. Knock off is just there to annoy, but can be switched with Double-Edge, abusing Marowak's Rock Head ability.

Counters:
Milotic
Venusaur
Levitate ability

Alternatives:
252 Def, 252 Sp.D, 4 Atk.

Changes will be in red.​

why is Def maxed and HP left alone? especially with iron defense, i would imagine 252 HP would help a lot more than 252 Def

you do have other places to post, namely quality control. either way, the only reason to use marowak is thick club, otherwise i'd use donphan

Didn't think this through enough then, sorry on my part.

This is also slightly a mixed defense set. Focuses mainly on Def, but allowing some SpD incase someone wants to bring Surf in like Milotic. The calculator isn't working for me here in China, so could you see if the calculator will mention if Milotic OHKO's this set with the SpD. given?

You are required to test sets before posting them in both QC and here.
