Donphan (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Ice Shard
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock

---

Nice, but why not Stone Edge?  Has awesome coverage against Ice, Bug, Flying, and Fire plus it has Critical-Hit ratio.

---

I think this Donphan is a lead Donphan.

---

Oh, I see.

Answer 1

I'd say this set is good. Maybe carry rapid spin to deal with entry hazards, but that's not a necessity.

Answer 2

Good, but for Donphan, I always liked poison jab. Its much better than body slam in my opinion.................... But bod slam works too.

Comments

Why not Stone Edge, it's Rock and Rock Types are commonly used Offensively with Ground-type Pokemon!

Answer 3

UU stealth rock layer

• Stealth Rock-Sets up rocks against the opponent. Perfect for things like hail teams.
• Earthquake-STAB.
• Rapid Spin-Allows him to blow away entry hazards midgame if necessary; also deals with early game antileads or entry hazards early on.
• Ice Shard-Gives him basic priority over the opponent.

Answer 4

F.E.A.R.-PHAN

Item: Shell Bell
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Brave
EVs: 252 Attack(No other EVs)

---

Endeavor
Ice-shard
Roar
Rapid-spin

---

Yes this is a F.E.A.R. set, this works best with a level 25 Donphan(Lowest possible level for him) and is even better with Sand support, he is the new Aron! You will want minimum IVs in every stat except Attack, his stats should be: 80 Hp, 96 Attack, 65 Defense, 35 S.Attack, 35 S.Defense, 27 Speed on PO he can be lvl 1 though. Endeavor is for lowering the opponent down to your HP. Ice-shard is Priority in case you are up against a Pokemon that is not immune to sand or you are no on a sand team. Roar is for switching a Ghost type away. Rapid-spin is for getting rid of hazards.

Comments

Warning this set is insanely cheap especially on Sand teams.
