Question

Salamence @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

- Dragon Pulse
- Flamethrower

It's going to be Hidden Power, but which type do I use?

Comments

What format? Why are you using a special Salamence? And why is its nature lowering its special attack?

OU. Because I can and want to. And no it's not.

Answer 1

IIf you really want to keep it, HP Grass might be decent for Gastrodon and Quagsire, Fighting is a more niche option but can Tyranitar too. But honestly I would say Hydro Pump would be better as the last move anyway. Also, Dragon Pulse is terrible for a wallbreaker; use Draco Meteor instead.

Answer 2

Steel. You have Flamethrower (Ice types) and Dragon Pulse (Dragon types), so get something for Fairy types. Poison could also work, but you have Steel in case you run low on Flamethrower PP.
