[OVERVIEW]
Rockruff has underwhelming offensive stats and a disappointing movepool. Rockruff is also extremely frail, which leaves it easily revenge killed by Choice Scarf users or priority moves such as Mach Punch and Aqua Jet. Other offensive Rock-types such as Cranidos, which is much more powerful with useful abilities and a better movepool, and even Tirtouga, which has access to better coverage moves and the ability to boost its stats with Shell Smash, greatly outclass Rockruff.
[SET]
name: All-out Attacker
move 1: Stone Edge
move 2: Stomping Tantrum
move 3: Zen Headbutt / Fire Fang
move 4: Sucker Punch
item: Life Orb
ability: Vital Spirit
nature: Jolly
evs: 236 Atk / 76 Def / 196 Spe
IVs: 9 HP
[SET COMMENTS]
This set attempts to act as a wallbreaker through the use of Rockruff's coverage moves. However, Rockruff is outclassed by other offensive Rock-types such as Cranidos and other more powerful attackers such as Bunnelby. There is essentially no reason to use Rockruff over any other option.
