Switch in, take a ton of damage, and murder Sylveon in return. CB Adamant Fire Punch is weird as fuck but is needed to not die from recoil.

Rhyperior @ Leftovers
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Ice Punch
- Fire Punch

Darmanitan can only 3HKO Rhyperior at best and is OHKOed in return. I opted for extra coverage > Stealth Rock on the set since it's not too helpful itt.

Impish Nature
