[Bka Onon]

With Espathra in Copyediting I'd like the Lokix and Iron Valiant:

CHAINSAW MAN

Lokix @ Life Orb / Choice Band
Name: All Out Attacker (Bug)
Ability: Tinted Lens
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature / Adamant Nature
- First Impression

Edit: Removed Valiant, will do it after Lokix

Only one at a time, I'm approving the Lokix set though, but make it clear in the analyses that Sucker Punch only for LO set,

 

[TTK]

taking Fire

Scovillain

Scovillain @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Chlorophyll
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid / Hasty Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Growth
- Flamethrower
- Giga Drain
- Solar Beam / Stomping Tantrum

Naive, not Hasty + I think Scov needs LO if it uses STantrum, notably because of this calc [+2 32 Atk Life Orb Scovillain Stomping Tantrum vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Unaware Clodsire: 234-276 (50.4 - 59.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Black Sludge recovery]. I'm not sure how you'd incorporate both spreads though, as non Stantrum Scov is Boots, while Stantrum Scov wants LO. The given spread below outpaces scarf 110's under the sun still. Have fun meow
Scovillain @ Life Orb
Ability: Chlorophyll
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 32 Atk / 252 SpA / 224 Spe
Naive Nature
- Growth
