AV Mirror Coat Blastoise
Blastoise @ Assault Vest
Ability: Rain Dish
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpD / 252 Spe
Careful Nature
- Mirror Coat
- Flip Turn
- Icy Wind
- Seismic Toss
General idea
The idea is to use this pokemon as a bulky tank and to use it as a Flip Turn user that spreads some Spe control and/or damage.
Here we have an AV Blastoise with support 2 main moves:
(1) Flip Turn is a good addition of this generation because it is a STABed attacking move (to deal chip damage) in order to keep the momentum;
(2) Icy Wind because the Spe control is a key aspect of the game. I picked Icy Wind over Rapid Spin because in this set we can't use Heavy-Duty Boots.
The remaining 2 moveslots are filled with attacking moves that doesn't need EVs investment, so we can use all the EVs onto other useful stats:
(1) Seismic Toss which deals always the same damage regardless the target (if it isn't a Ghost type);
(2) Mirror Coat, which is useful to get rid of a special revenge killer (such as an Electric type) because Blastoise is quite bulky, especially when equipped with an AV. This way, Blastoise is able to OHKO things that usually beats it. Keep in mind that Mirror Coat requires to be nearly at full hp to be effective.
Just an example of the bulkyness of this Blastoise:
252+ SpA Life Orb Exeggutor-Alola Giga Drain vs. 248 HP / 8+ SpD Assault Vest Blastoise: 198-237 (54.8 - 65.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
EVs spread and item
248 EVs into HP are used to reach an odd number, so you can enter into SR one more time.
252 EVs Spe are meant to be quite fastish, so you can outspeed some slower pokemons, thus avoiding unnecessary damage.
The reamaining 8 EVs are put on the SpD (alongside a SpD+ nature) because you reach an even number for the Assault Vest.
Team(mates) support
Wish support is highly appreciated to ensure the use of Mirror Coat, which is quite unexpected. Keep in mind that this Blastoise can't spam too much damage, so it isn't really self sufficient and it needs somebody else to spread damage.
In return, this Blastoise has a slowish Flip Turn and Icy Wind to support its teammates.
