  • HM Moves = Useless

    Anyway, here's a somewhat strange Snorlax set involving yawn:

    Snorlax @ Leftovers ** Pillsbury
    Ability: Thick Fat
    EVs: 172 HP / 40 Atk / 160 Def / 136 SDef
    Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
    - Yawn
    - Substitute
    - Focus Punch
    - Crunch / Zen Headbutt
    Start with a Yawn (which Snorlax learns at Lv. 20 btw) to force a switch. Substitute, and depending on what's out, launch either a Focus Punch or a Zen Headbutt or Crunch Attack.

    Salamence should be running with:

    Salamence @ Leftovers / Life Orb
    Ability: Intimidate
    EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 136 Spd / 32 SDef
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) / Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)
    - Earthquake
    - Fire Fang / Fire Blast
    - Dragon Dance
    - Dragon Claw / Dragon Rush
    I figured I'd mention Physical Sala since it hasn't been getting any love in the D/P Gen and Special Sala is overshadowing it. Dragon Claw gets that nice STAB boost, and Earthquake hits the hard stuff. Fire Fang / Fire Blast is for that necessary Heracross attacking. If you're running Fire Fang, Adamant. Fire Blast, use Lonely.

    I like a Mixed Salamence.

    Rash Salamence @ Life Orb
    216 spd/80 sp.atk/212 atk

    Draco Meteor
    Hydro Pump
    Earthquake
    Brick Break

    Sweeps rather efficiently.

  • Brick Break is doing the same thing Earthquake does at less the power.
    Needs Aerial Ace for Heracross coverage.
