- Hammer Arm
- Thunderpunch

I Created this set to be able to switch in and counter whatever rogue threat came in on my team such as a dragondance gyarados, With his spread he can make fighting latias much less frightening to stare into the face of draco meteor or to switch into CB Tyranitar
What would ye recommend? I just wanted something to switch in, take the hit and threaten

It successfuly beats most variants of Latias, Tyranitar, Gyarados, Lucario, Gengar and has no problem forcing scizor out

I think its proving to be very appropriate =)

Here is the calculator I used
http://ownpurpose.com/libelldra/damage_calculator.html

It can only switch in once... That kind of sucks

True
But it can remove some of the biggest threats around

I don't see how it defeats Scizor, Mence, Lucario, Gyara, and stuff like that. You can beat Gyara 1 on 1, but you might as well be hit on the switch in and lose the next time Gyara comes in

Actualy +1gyara still takes 3 shots to take it, unless I give it ice punch than no he wont be killing salamence, scizor cant touch him regardless and I must check again if Lucario OHKOs with +2Close combat

From: IrishMercenary | #006
scizor cant touch him regardless

CB U-Turn seems to hurt a lot more than anything you have there

=\ how did I not see that coming...
right im running that calc now, im going to recheck lucario too
and some mence calcs just to see how it holds up on that front too

Scizor CB Uturn
