========
Despite access to Galvanize-boosted Double-Edge, Caribolt is a poor choice in CAP. Caribolt's STAB combo is easily walled by common Pokemon like Landorus-T, Pyroak, Ferrothorn, and Astrolotl, and it is very vulnerable to common revenge killers like Dragapult and Weavile. Additionally, Caribolt has to rely on Double-Edge to deal meaningful damage, causing its health to quickly deteriorate due to recoil. Body Slam is an alternative that does not have recoil; however, its damage is even more pitiful. Horn Leech should be paired with Double-Edge to provide some modicum of recovery; accordingly, it can be dropped for the more powerful Power Whip on Body Slam variants. Quick Attack lets Caribolt pick off weakened foes, and it notably OHKOes Blacephalon and Tornadus-T at +2. Magnet should be used alongside Double-Edge to limit the amount of recoil Caribolt incurs; however, Body Slam sets can opt for the stronger Life Orb.
