<p>Since Tyrogue has both Fake Out and Guts, it can potentially pull off a decent attempt at sweeping with this set. Obviously, Fake Out should be used first, in order to not only flinch the opposing Pokemon, but also and safely activate Guts via Toxic Orb. Guts will then raise the power of Tyrogue's attacks by 1.5 times, which is absolutely necessary since Tyrogue will be needing all the power it can get its hands on. Bullet Punch gives Tyrogue a nice priority attack that attains with great neutral coverage on many threats. It also lets Tyrogue get a hit off of faster threats before it goes down. Hi Jump Kick is Tyrogue's strongest STAB attack, and the Guts boost will raise its power even further. The last move comes down to preference. Rock Slide is the preferred attack as it will do the most damage to Ghost-types, who are immune to both Fake Out and Hi Jump Kick. However, Facade hits all other Pokemon who resist Hi Jump Kick harder than Rock Slide most cases. The EVs and an Adamant nature give Tyrogue maximum Attack, and an increase in Speed.</p>
[Additional Comments]
<p>The best teammates that can help Tyrogue sweep, are Pokemon who can remove physical walls, most notably, bulky Ground-types such as Hippopotas
and Gligar. Snover is the best teammate for this reason, as it can easily dispatch both with Blizzard (questionable logic because who is keeping those two in against snover or switching those into snover, but I don't play LC so if that is common practice...). Unfortunately, Snover's hail will cause Tyrogue to lose extra health per turn because of the hail that it summons. Staryu can beat both Hippopotas and Gligar with a Water-type STAB move. Pursuit users, such as [x], who can remove Ghost-types, such as Gastly and Duskull are also good teammates, as a Pursuited Ghost means Tyrogue will no longer have to worry about losing health from an evaded Hi Jump Kick.</p>

Fake Out should be used first, first in order to flinch the opposing Pokemon and safely activate Guts via Toxic Orb. Bullet Punch gives Tyrogue a nice priority attack with great neutral coverage, hitting on many threats for solid damage. Hi Jump Kick is Tyrogue's strongest STAB attack. The last move comes down to preference. Rock Slide is the preferred attack as it will do the most damage to Ghost-types, who are immune to both Fake Out and Hi Jump Kick. However, Facade hits all other Pokemon who resist Hi Jump Kick harder than Rock Slide in most cases. The EVs and an Adamant nature give Tyrogue maximum Attack and Speed, allowing it to outspeed a few Pokemon while increasing its damage output.</p>

<p>The best teammates that can help Tyrogue sweep, sweep are Pokemon who can remove physical walls, most notably, especially bulky Ground-types such as Hippopotas and Gligar. Snover is the best teammate for this reason, as it can easily use Blizzard to dispose of dispatch the ones that who don’t switch out with Blizzard. Unfortunately, Snover's hail will cause Tyrogue to lose extra health per turn. Staryu can beat both Hippopotas and Gligar with a Water-type STAB move. Pursuit users, such as Munchlax and Stunky, both of whom can remove Ghost-types, are also good teammates, as a Pursuited Ghost-type means Tyrogue will no longer have to worry about losing health from an evaded Hi Jump Kick.</p>
