It knows:

Sunny Day: Powers up Heat Wave, charges Solarbeam.

Solarbeam: High power, high accuracy, charged by Sunny Day, used to deal with Rock, Ground, and Water types.

Heat Wave: High power, powered up by Sunny Day, decent accuracy, chance to burn, STAB.

Gyro Ball: Powerful with Torkoal's low Speed. Also deals with Rock types.

Gen V

Torkoal (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: White Smoke
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Yawn
- Rapid Spin
- Overheat

An excellent lead set. Stealth Rock and Yawn work well together. Rapid Spin removes entry hazards that the foe is likely to set up. Overheat takes down common Steel tyype leads such as Ferrothorn and Forretress, as well as taking down leads like Roserade.

This is the exact moveset for my torkoal, never lost a battle with it. Some other moves might be earthquake or amnesia to dominate his stats. Yawn +protect is also a cheap strategy to do with him.

Torkoal @ Iron Ball
Abilty: White Smoke

Nature : brave (+ Atk -Spd)
Curse - power up
Gyro Ball - Curse powers it
Earthquake - coverage

Problem with this set its a mixed set. I couldn't find any good fire Physical stabs the only one found was flame charge which lowers gyro balls power

Sun Team Sweeper:

TTTTT

Torkoal @White Herb
Trait: White Smoke
Nature: Quiet/Modest
EV's: 252 Sp. Atk. 252 Hp. 6 Def.

  • Solar Beam
  • Shell Smash
  • Fire Blast
  • Gyro Ball/Clear Smog

Nature: Modest is good with clear smog and Quiet is good with gyro ball.
Solar beam: Coverage + Shell Smash power
Shell Smash: Free stat raise with White Herb
Fire Blast: Great in sun + Shell Smash boost
Gyro Ball/Clear Smog: Great because of low speed and it is coverage.
Clear Smog : Removes stat changes of you're opponent.


Hope I Helped Ya!

BTW White smoke does not work with Overheat. Source: Personal experience
Yeah, I know. It's still a powerful move.
