You pretty much need Psychic in order to avoid Gengar switching in to stop Rapid Spin, so predict accordingly. Earthquake's a good STAB. I don't know anything about a good EV set, but this looks fine.

The problem with this set is that this particular claydol can take hits well but can't retrun any. Any DDer can come in, set up, and all you can do is explode :/ you're going to want ice beam or psychic for starters, preferably over reflect. EQ over explosion IMO. Yeah.

Please, use the Request a Team / Move Set thread next time.

Standard, dual wall Claydol....


[email protected]
252 HP / 114 DEF / 144 SP.DEF
Relaxed Nature
- Earthquake / Earth Power
- Stealth Rock / Reflect / Light Screen / Stone Edge / Ice Beam / Toxic / Rest / Explosion
- Rapid Spin
- Psychic


I believe this 100% needs psychic IMO to catch Gengar on the switch in whom often tries to block Raid Spin.




Earthquake and Earth Power for your standard STAB move.

Rapid Spin is self explanatory

Now the second slot, Stealth Rock, Reflect, Light Screen for team support, Stone Edge to chip away at Weavile and Gyarados (2HKO on Weavile with no att ev investment), Ice Beam for Bulky ground types and Dragons, Toxic to wear down Dusknoir, Spiritomb and Cresselia etc, Rest can be abused if you have an Aromatherapist, Explosion if you must, to go out with a bang.

Don't forget, ice beam can work over psychic. It really comes in handy for when dragons think claydol can't hurt them. Stupid? Yes, but some people forget claydol gets ice beam, GREAT move for it.
