Altariel von Sweep
They Who Laugh Last
Onix @ Berry Juice
Ability: Sturdy
Level: 5
EVs: 76 HP / 236 Atk / 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Rock Blast
- Earthquake
- Endure / Taunt
Onix has prevailed as the premier Stealth Rock user in the metagame due to the role compression it exerts, both checking Flying-types such as Vullaby and acting as a reliable and safe lead. Onix can choose whether to run Endure if Sturdy has been broken to act as a decent emergency check to Flying-types and other unprepared threats after restoring its health or Taunt to stop any type of setup sweeper or status-inducing attack, giving it more utility alongside Stealth Rock. Onix mustn't lose Berry Juice by Knock Off, being the only recovery it has, so Fairy-types such as Snubbull and Spritzee are good teammates that take it. Entry hazards can be annoying for Onix, as they break Sturdy, meaning that hazard removers such as Snivy and Staryu greatly support it. Fighting-types such as Mienfoo and Timburr appreciate Onix dealing with Flying-types due to its decent typing. Foongus helps to deal with Water- and Grass-types due to its typing and longevity.
