Salazzle (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Corrosion
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Flamethrower
- Sludge Wave
- Toxic
- Knock Off
Salazzle is a huge threat in RU because of its high base Special Attack and Speed. Flamethrower and Sludge Wave are consistent, powerful attacks that can deal serious damage to pretty much any Pokemon in the tier besides exceptions such as Jellicent and Gastrodon, but they don't appreciate getting poisoned with Toxic. Toxic works well with Salazzle's ability, Corrosion, allowing it to poison Pokemon such as Steelix, Copperajah, and opposing Salazzle. Knock Off removes important items from opposing Pokemon such as Heavy-Duty Boots from Charizard and Leftovers from Snorlax, one of Salazzle's main checks. Virizion makes for a great teammate, as it can mow down Water-types such as Jellicent and Vaporeon and tank Ground-type attacks from the likes of Steelix and Rhydon for Salazzle. Salazzle is also threatened by fast Psychic-types such as Choice Scarf Indeedee, so Dark-types such as Scrafty and Silvally-Dark are great teammates. Finally, Salazzle appreciates U-turn, Volt Switch, and Teleport users such as Passimian, Rotom-C, and Xatu, respectively, to be safely brought in.
