You know it’s actually quite a solid idea but execution might need to be perfected. I’d say Dark Pulse is gonna be a good idea since Jellicent will doubtless rise and you may use yourself as a breaker so U-Turn isn’t necessary. You 2HKO standard max defense Gastrodon if you get the Crits but if you want to go for luck (50% to crit with Dark Pulse after just Focus Energy and no Scope Lens) you could also run Life Orb to really lay down the pain - Snipe Shot is 100% chance to crit after just Focus Energy. Or even run Hydro Pump, which has a 100% chance to crit with Focus Energy and Scope LensGentlemen.

I know, that's why Pump is on the set lol.Or even run Hydro Pump, which has a 100% chance to crit with Focus Energy and Scope Lens
While these are good points, I would say not to sleep on the fact that Snipe Shot + Scope Lens has a native 50% crit rate with absolutely no setup whatsoever. Meanwhile, Hydro Pump + Scope Lens only has a 12.5% Crit Rate with no setup.You know it’s actually quite a solid idea but execution might need to be perfected. I’d say Dark Pulse is gonna be a good idea since Jellicent will doubtless rise and you may use yourself as a breaker so U-Turn isn’t necessary.

OH yeah you're right...the dark pulse and U-Turn point stands though.I know, that's why Pump is on the set lol.
