Melmetal @ Punching Glove
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 164 SpD / 92 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Double Iron Bash
- Superpower
- Thunder Punch
- Thunder Wave

The metallic cyclops has awakened from its slumber! Melmetal is an excellent bulky attacker that uses its typing and titanic bulk to check Pokemon such as Tapu Lele, Hisuian Samurott, and Dragon Dance Dragapult. Superpower nails Steel-types such as Kingambit, Ferrothorn, and Heatran. Thunder Punch hits Pokemon such as Moltres, Urshifu-R, and Toxapex on the switch in. Thunder Wave gives Pokemon that check Melmetal, like Volcarona and Skarmory, a harder task checking it over time. It also pairs excellently with Double Iron Bash, allowing Melmetal to muscle through Corviknight and Alomomola in the long term. Punching Glove gives Melmetal an immunity to contact effects from Zapdos and Moltres on its punching moves. The given EVs outspeed Ting-Lu and Modest Heatran. Melmetal’s defensive profile is appreciated by wallbreakers such as Garchomp and Hisuian Samurott, which like its ability to switchin on Pokemon like Tapu Lele and Weavile threatening to revenge kill them. In return, these Pokemon help Melmetal by taking on its checks in Slowbro and Volcarona. They also provide entry hazards, which make wearing down Gholdengo and Rotom-W an easier job for Melmetal.

- Thunder Wave

The metallic cyclops has awakened from its slumber! Melmetal is an excellent bulky attacker that uses its typing and titanic bulk to check Pokemon such as Tapu Lele, Dragonite there is surely a better example than this, and Dragon Dance Dragapult. Superpower nails Steel-types such as Kingambit, Ferrothorn, and Heatran. Thunder Punch hits Pokemon such as Moltres, Urshifu-R, and Toxapex on the switch in. Thunder Wave ruins Pokemon that otherwise would check Melmetal seamlessly, like Moltres and Skarmory these 2 arent rly ruined by the para; more appropriate verbage is that they have a harder time checking melm itself while para'd. I think molt is a pretty wonky example in general, since clicking tpunch is usually gonna wind up in a burn. twaving like volc would b a better example i think; it also pairs excellently with Double Iron Bash, allowing Melmetal to muscle through Corviknight and Alomomola long term. Punching Glove boosts Melmetal’s punching moves, giving it a favorable chance to 2HKO Toxapex and guaranteeing the 2HKO on Landorus-T after Stealth Rock the no contact is the selling point, not really the minute damage buff although its nice for these listed reasons. The given EVs outspeed a paralyzed max speed Modest Heatran there is prob a better spread but i cba to find it, you should mention this spread outspeeds ting more importantly . Melmetal’s defensive profile is appreciated by wallbreakers such as Garchomp and Hisuian Samurott, which like how Melmetal switches in on Pokemon like Tapu Lele and Weavile threatening to revenge kill them. In return, these Pokemon help Melmetal by taking on its checks in Slowbro and Volcarona. They also provide entry hazards, which make wearing down Gholdengo and Rotom-W an easier task for Melmetal.
