Sandaconda @ Leftovers
Ability: Shed Skin
EVs: 252 HP / 168 SpD / 88 Spe
Careful Nature
- Coil
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Rest
Sandaconda can destroy whole teams with its fantastic Coil + Rest + Shed Skin combination. Its decent Speed tier coupled with its solid defensive stats and typing allow it to set up on passive defensive Pokemon such as Audino, Gigalith, and defensive Charizard. Shed Skin allows it to run Stone Edge over Sleep Talk, which is really useful against Ground-immune Pokemon like Charizard and Galarian Articuno. Dropping Sleep Talk means it fits setup, coverage, healing, and status recovery all in one set. Sandaconda fits very well with Pokemon such as Charizard, which can take care of Grass-types such as Eldegoss, while Sandaconda can take care of Aggron and Gigalith, which are rather annoying for Charizard. Jellicent checks Wishiwashi and Quagsire, which are rather annoying for Sandaconda. Lanturn can take care of special wallbreakers like Choice Specs Jellicent and Magmortar, which are really threatening for Sandaconda, and makes a good defensive core with Ferroseed.
