[Overview]

<p>Let's take an overdone concept, make it as shitty as possible, give it the creepiest eyes known to Pokemon, and release it into the world just to watch the Pokemon fandom squirm. ~Game Freak</p>

[SET]
name: The Namib Special
move 1: Return
move 2: Hypnosis
move 3: Super Fang
move 4: Taunt
item: Life Orb
ability: Analytic
nature: Adamant
evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD

[SET COMMENTS]

<p>Watchog has been busy in his kitchen trying to whip up a set out of the bare movepool Game Freak has given this pathetic meerkat. And when I say bare, I mean stark naked. You have to give it some credit though, as an Analytic and Life Orb-boosted Return actually comes close to OHKOing Sawk.</p>

<p>The fun pretty much stops there though. About the most that Watchog is going to do is Super Fang the opponent's Regirock, and then die later in the battle. Its ultimate dilemma is that it needs the extra power from Analytic, but is too frail to afford to go last. Oh well&mdash;such is the brutal life of the African wild.</p>

[Other Options]

<p>Watchog isn't short on disruptive moves, but they don't do it much good since it's not going to last very long in battle. It's got Light Screen, Toxic, and Thunder Wave to support the team, but so does more than half of the tier. It's got the combination of Swords Dance + Baton Pass, but so does Ledian and I think we all know which is the cuter one, and therefore the better choice. Crunch, Low Kick, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, and Grass Knot are about all that are available for coverage moves. Low Kick is nice to kick Regirock in the junk after you've hit it with Super Fang, but it still only 2HKOes it, even after the Super Fang. Crunch is nice in theory to hit Misdreavus&mdash;too bad it outspeeds and burns Watchog first.</p>

[Checks and Counters]

<p>Just don't switch around too much and let it Super Fang half your team and you'll be fine.</p>

<p>The fun pretty much stops there though. About the most that Watchog is going to do is Super Fang the opponent's Regirock and then die later in the battle. It's ultimate dilemma is that it needs the extra power from Analytic, but is too frail to be able to afford to go last. Oh well, &mdash;such is the brutal life of the African wild.</p>

As you go down this check, my edits become gradually more subjective. But I think they're pretty good anyhow, especially the last one. (Added a dash after Analytic, don't miss that one as it's my only pure-grammar change. Except maybe for to be able to afford.)

<p>Watchog isn't very short on disruptive moveshas access to many disruptive moves (Wording here was strange), but they don't do it much good since it's not going to last very long in battle. It's got can use (in light of previous sentence) Light Screen, Toxic, and Thunder Wave to support the team, but so doescan more than half of the tier. It's got the combination of Swords Dance + Baton Pass, but so does Ledian and I think we all know who'ich is the cuter one, and therefore the better choice for that role. Crunch, Low Kick, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, and Grass Knot are about all that's are available for coverage moves. Low Kick is nice to kick Regirock in the junk after you've hit it with Super Fang, but it still only 2HKOes it, even after the Super Fang. Crunch is nice in theory to hit Misdreavus&mdash;too bad it outspeeds and burns Watchog first. (verb tense in the latter part of this sentence is strange, I don't know if you want to change it though)</p>
