Answer 5

Armaldo @ Life Orb

Trait: Battle Armor

EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SpA)

• Swords Dance
• X-Scissor
• Stone Edge
• Earthquake

Swords Dance boosts its already high attack.
X-Scissor is STAB and hits Psychic Grass and Dark types hard.
Stone Edge is STAB as well and hits Fire Flying and Bug types, helping out X-Scissor.
Earthquake rounds out the coverage, and hits Steel types hard and is a powerful neutral attack against Fighting types.
