[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========
- Earth Power is considered crucial, both being a STAB and an ability abuser, that threatens many bulky Pokémon yet weak to Steel Type moves like Heatran and Skatakaka
- Sludge Wave being an absolute Fairy Type killer taking into consideration it's massive damage done to non-steel type Pokémon [mentioned previously].
- Ice Beam is more preferable over Thunderbolt because it gives Nidoking a wider ability to check Dragon/Ground/Flying/Grass type Pokémon whereas Thunderbolt only checks Water + Flying type Pokémon.
- Fire Blast Is recommended over flamethrower for having approximately 78.5 - 92.5% damage on Corvinight, If burned: it is a guarantee OHKO.
Set Details
========
- Max SpAtk to get maximum damage
- Doesn't need timid because it outspeeds all bulky OU Pokémon and others.
- Rest of EVs in HP to increase its bulk.
- Specs is preferred to ensure total revenge.
Usage Tips
========
- Should be used only/mainly as a revenger. Having your own Pokémon down, choosing Nidoking's set will ensure massive damage to the opponent's.
Team Options
========
- Best team-mates are Clefable alongside with Urshifu-Rapid-Strike and Rillaboom.
- Clefable is there to keep the momentum going with Wish/Teleport set.
- Urshifu-RS helps in checking Fire Type Pokémon including Sun Teams.
- Rillaboom is mainly to counter Water Type Pokémon including Rain Teams.
