Physical Tank

Item: Leftovers
Ability: Sheer-force
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Attack, 58 Hp, 200 Def


Iron-defense
Sucker-punch
Iron-head
Thunder-fang


This guy is for Tanking against Physical Pokemon only. Iron-defense gives you about a 500 Defense Stat which is awesome. Sucker-punch is useful priority that could save you are be last minute damage before another Pokemon takes you down. Iron-head has 104 BP with Sheer force and 156 with STAB so this move is very strong. Thunder-fang covers the many water and flying types in NU and also gets boosted by Sheer force to about 84.5 Base power. There are only 3 Steel types in NU and I would have to say that Mawile is below Aggron obviously but I think it is better than Probopass because it has no 4x weaknesses.

Pardon? Fire fang against water? I think not. You've made a mistake.
I said Thunder-fang.

Sweeper-Mawile

Item: Choice-scarf
Ability: Sheer-force
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Hp


Iron-head
Sucker-punch
Rock-slide
Ice-fang


Iron-head is STAB. Sucker-punch is for those who still out-speed you. Rock-slide is coverage. Ice-fang is more coverage(I would do fire-fang but all the steel types in NU aside from Mawile are part rock type).

Mawile (M) @ Leftovers

description

Role: Forced Switch / Tank

Trait: Intimidate

EVs: 240 HP / 28 Atk / 240 SDef

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

  • Swords Dance
  • Sucker Punch
  • Pain Split
  • Stone Edge

Rockin the 0 STAB moves.
Intimidate can force a switch on most physical threats, while you can set up Swords Dance, Sucker Punch is high powered priority, lets him hit first.
Stone Edge can be switched for Iron Head, but I'd rather have protection from Stone Edge's Coverage. Pain Split can gain back Hp, and do some serious damage if your opponent switched out when you're around 25% Hp left.

Swords Dance boosts attack to nice levels.
Iron Head is STAB and boosted by Sheer Force.
Sucker Punch is good priority.
Ice Punch is boosted by Sheer Force as well and gives some further coverage.
Baton Pass can be used though to help out a teammate.
