Assault Vest Emboar set
Lv 50 doubles
Emboar @ Assault Vest Adamant Nature Ability: Reckless 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Sp.Def -Flare Blitz -Hammer Arm -Wild Charge -Head Smash Hammer Arm makes for a nice counter to Trick Room plus Superpower's decrease in attack and defense is awful. He makes a pretty bulky Pokémon with a high HP stat. I did some calculations for standard Pokémon seen online in doubles. Let me know what you guys think of this niche set. Tapu Koko: 252+ Atk Reckless Emboar Flare Blitz vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Tapu Koko: 148-175 (101.3 - 119.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252 SpA Life Orb Tapu Koko Thunderbolt vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Emboar in Electric Terrain: 86-101 (46.2 - 54.3%) -- 45.3% chance to 2HKO Tapu Fini 252+ Atk Reckless Emboar Wild Charge vs. 252 HP / 116+ Def Tapu Fini: 96-114 (54.2 - 64.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery 0 SpA Tapu Fini Muddy Water vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Emboar: 68-84 (36.5 - 45.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO with 2 Calm Mind boosts +2 0 SpA Tapu Fini Muddy Water vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Emboar: 134-162 (72 - 87%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Salamence (after Intimidate) -1 252+ Atk Reckless Emboar Head Smash vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Salamence: 174-206 (101.7 - 120.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252 SpA Salamence Hydro Pump vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Emboar: 78-92 (41.9 - 49.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO |
The one thing I don't like about Assault Vest Emboar is the fact that Flare Blitz whittles it down a lot faster than normal, which emphasizes the problem of Emboar's lack of reliable recovery in general.

Fire Blast or Overheat is another option over Flare Blitz. However, that might be better for singles, since in doubles the sheer power of Flare Blitz is more appreciated. Same suggestion applies to Incineroar too.
