Answer 1

Sandshrew @ Eviolite
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 36 SpD / 196 Spe
Adamant / Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Night Slash

With Eviolite, it has the bulk to set up with Sword Dance. With STAB Earthquake, Sandshrew becomes a big threat in LC.

Comments

why did you put Dtilbur? This is just a moveset question, don't add a set for a completely different pokemon.

I am suggesting it along side the Sandshrew set.

Nice set! Maybe have a sandstorm user and switch his ability to Sand Veil? Meaning if he even misses the OHKO, it'll be really hard to hit him back?
