Can you please make the set PS! importable, it’s very hard it read it as it is...

---

I don't know what that means, I'll try though.

---

How's that? Refresh if you don't know what I mean.

---

It means Pokémon Showdown! importable. You go to the team builder, build the set, go to Import/Export, copy the set and paste it here.

---

Okay, I can't access Showdown from this computer, so I'll have to fix this later.

I fixed it, it's now in S!

Answer 5

Physical Clauncher

Clauncher @ Eviolite
Ability: Mega Launcher
Level: 5
EVs: 252 Atk / 172 SpD / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Hone Claws / Swords Dance
- Crabhammer / Waterfall
- Aqua Jet
- Rock Slide / Facade

Hone Claws boosts your attack and accuracy. Crabhammer is powerful STAB that appreciates the attack and accuracy boost from Hone Claws. Aqua Jet is priority STAB. Rock Slide is for coverage. Facade can be used instead as a surprise for if you're inflicted with a status condition. Swords Dance can be used instead of Hone Claws to double your attack stat. If you decide to go with Swords Dance, use Waterfall over Crabhammer for STAB that has better accuracy.

Answer 6

Shrimpy (Clauncher) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mega Launcher
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 212 SpA / 12 SpD / 244 Spe
Timid Nature
- Water Pulse
- Dragon Pulse

Choice Scarf Special set. Mega Launcher boosts Pulse moves, other moves for coverage. Messy EVs because LC is odd XD

Have fun using this set! :))
