What are some of your favorite Hydrapple spreads or sets? I've been enjoying sticky hold rocky helmet physdef set but I'm curious if any of y'all have workshopped any spreads for more offensive specific comp ones. This is the one I've been enjoying a lot:

i've considered using Hydrapple AV, but I've never been able to fit it into any team, I think it could be useful

Hydrapple @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sticky Hold
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 188 HP / 252 Def / 68 SpA
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fickle Beam
- Giga Drain
- Recover
- Body Press

Body Press for steel types (team has ghold answers so its less stressful on Hydrapple) or Blissey, Giga Drain for some modest recovery in physhit exchanges (Largely Samu and Tusky tho), with enough HP to live a 2X ice hit from Tusk that isn't booster attack. I prefer Fickle beam because I like to leave it in to take a hit or two and the SPA loss from Draco hurts a bit.

usually i just do standard phys def np apple with helmet. Really pushes its defensive capabilities and lets it chip tusk and wellspring into ko ranges. Tera steel is a favorite of mine to punish weavile and such.
