Politoed @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Encore

Choice Scarf allows Politoed to revenge kill opposing Pokemon. Hydro Pump is Politoed's strongest STAB move. Ice Beam lets you hit Grass- and Dragon-types like Vibrava, Jumpluff, Simisage, Servine, and Quilladin. Hidden Power Grass is used to deal super effective damage to Water-types like opposing Politoed, Simipour, and Whiscash. Encore is used as a knock off brand version of Trick/Switcheroo, as Encore lets you lock an opposing Pokemon into using the move it previously used for three turns.
