Sorry but what is STAB?

---

STAB is a 1.5x increase of moves that are the same type as the Pokemon using them.

Answer 1

Gorebyss @ White Herb/Life Orb

EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

Timid Nature [+Spe, -Atk]

• Shell Smash
• Surf/Hydro Pump
• Ice Beam
• Baton Pass/Hidden Power Grass

Shell Smash boosts the stats to nice levels, and can be Baton Passed to dangerous sweepers.
Surf is reliable STAB which hits pretty hard after a boost, but Hydro Pump can be used for more power.
Ice Beam hits Grass types, and gets pretty good coverage alongside Water type STAB.
Baton pass is the preffered option in the third slot, as again dangerous sweepers can greatly benefit from it.
If you really don't want to Baton Pass, Hidden Power Grass can be used to hit Water types pretty hard.
White Herb is the preffered item, as it helps especially against priority.
If you want to use Hidden Power Grass, Life Orb becomes the superior option.

Dat Baws.

Answer 2

Ice beam- good power, deal with grass types.

surf-STAB, good power,

agility- because gorebyss lacks the speed to be an effective sweeper works faster than rain dance, but doesn't power its attacks, your choice.

hydro pump/psychic/shadow ball-hydro pump for power, psychic or shadow ball for more type diversity and more reliability

Answer 3

Same as DT except instead of agility, use toxic, to defeat special sweepers as gorebyss has high special defense.

Answer 4

Quite risky, so use defense-boosters first

Shell Smash

Amnesia

Iron Defense

Baton Pass

Comments

It seems like this would take too much time. Plus, it has no way of defending itself. Perhaps instead of amnesia/Iron Defense, you could use a white herb to get rid of the stat drops.

Yeah, that seems nice...but, hide it, if you want
