I never seen this move set for Salamence here and im just wonding why no one uses it.


Salamence@Focus Sash
Nature:Adamant
Trait:Intimidate
Evs:252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
~Dragon Dance
~Dragon Claw
~Earthquake
~Fire Fang


~Dragon Dance for attack and speed boosts.

~Dragon Claw for STAB, has only one weakness which is backed up both by Earthquake and Fire Fang (Earthquake for non-flying or non-levitating steel types and Fire Fang for the steels types that are part flying or has levitate)

~Earthquake is super effective towards 5 different types and only resistant towards 2 types.

~Fire Fang will be super effective against the 2 types that are resistant towards Earthquake.

With this set, I can not think of any situation where your attacks will be below x1.5.

This moveset has 8 super effectives and 0 not very effective, please if there are any type combonations im not thinking about or types with certain abilitys that would result in a turn that would be resistant to dragon claw and neutral towards earthquake/fire fang?

also focus sash to prevent a ohko when trying to DD.
 
There is nothing especially wrong with this set. It is ruined by Sandstream or Stealth Rock, which are both very common though.

You could lead with it, but there is the possibility of being Intimidated, which means your dd only results in a neutral attack score.

And no matter what you do, it will be countered 100% by Hippowdon. Its Sandstorm will ruin your Focus Sash the turn it switches in, you need 3 DDs to 2hko it, and it will definitely at least 2hko you with ice fang.

Have a nice day.
