Poliwrath!
 
I have always liked Poliwrath, he seems a decent pokemon to me, so I wanted to try him out, here is a set I was thinking, Idk for sure but anyway, rate and evaluate!

Poliwrath @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
Nature: Timid, or Adamant or another speed one, I forgot them right nows.
Moveset:
- Belly Drum / Focus Punch / Bulk Up
- Earthquake / Focus Punch
- Rockslide
- Waterfall (For a Stab)


Yeah, so thoughts please, I am just using him for fun, just to test some of my favs, so I also was thinking of this EV spread: 252 Atk / 140 ~ 180 Speed / The rest Def (So he can take some moves aswell, Idk if he could take them though :( )

i know it only makes sense that you give him a full physical set but his base Sp Atk isn't much lower than his attack, and he could really use Ice Beam over Rock Slide, giving him just enough to surprise OHKO dragons. also, Hypnosis + Focus Punch make an excellent combo on him. poliwrath doesn't cause much switching out until AFTER you inflict sleep, which ensures the opportunity to get a Focus Punch in.

here's what my Poliwrath has:

Poliwrath @ Quick Claw (i dunno i like it on him but leftovers works)
Trait: Water Absorb
Nature: Hasty (i don't like -Def, but meh...)
212 Atk/188 HP/110 Spd
- Hypnosis
- Focus Punch
- Ice Beam
- Waterfall

Waterfall
Earthquake

I was thinking of using an ice move, but didn't know for sure, he can learn Ice ball, but I didnt know about it, so yeah, thanks Samson, anyway I was checking something this guy could never outrun a dragon, damn I hate predicting, ahwell.
