Saharaja @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 168 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Diamond Storm
- Rapid Spin
The CAP project's newest creation has finally released; meet Saharaja! Diamond Storm nicely complements its Ground typing and makes it incredibly tricky to safely switch into, as it threatens many Pokemon immune to Ground like Zapdos, Venomicon, and Tornadus-T. Further amplifying its offensive presence is Swords Dance, as it finds many opportunities to set up thanks to its excellent natural bulk and immunity to two types thanks to Water Absorb. Rapid Spin lets clear its side of the field from entry hazards, which teammates such as Venomicon-E and Tapu Lele appreciate and also lets teammates like Zapdos and Tornadus-T opt for more offensive sets. The Speed boost granted by Rapid Spin also makes it more threatening, as it outspeeds Dragapult and Zeraora at +1 and every Choice Scarf user at +2. Physical walls that can stomach EdgeQuake coverage such as Ferrothorn, Corviknight, and Equilibra give Saharaja troubles, so teammates that can overwhelm them, like Tapu Lele and Melmetal, are greatly appreciated.
