Defog with Choice Band on Scizor, Stealth Rocks with Choice Scarf on Garchomp?

---

Stealth rock and defog normally don't go very well together.

---

Choice-Band Defog?

---

I put defog on Scizor because I didn't know what laat move to give and since the other guys in our group loves sticky web, I figured why not. And I needed a stealth rocker and Garchomp is the only one who can learn it on the team (I think)

---

But..... Defog gets rid of the Stealth Rocks you set XD

Also, Choiced Status users aren’t usually the best option.

---

No other choice though. I needed a tinkerbell killer and Scizor was perfect for that role. I really don't mind getting rid of my own rocks. To me, that's more worth it than having my entire team slowed down if they enter thanks to sticky web

Gengar could be a fairy killer but that guy has too much on its hands on trying to get rid of stall users and Naganadel has so pathetic defenses that I don't want to risk it dying too early since it could single handedly win me the battle

---

As I explained on another post you made a while ago, putting status moves onto choice sets forces you to give your opponent free turns, which is highly detrimental to you and allows your opponent space to execute strategies.

You could use Excadrill instead. Offensive rapid spin is a decent option

---

What set would I run on the suggested Excadrill?

---

I like Scarfed + Mold Breaker to hit Levitate Pokémon with Earthquake. Since you don’t have a Sand Setter for Sand Rush, I’d recommend that.

So, something like Iron Head, Earthquake, Rapid Spin, Rock Slide.

---

But Garchomp already has the scarf

---

Oh yeah. Oops.

---

@PX ™ speaking of Excadrill, would this set work on this team, replacing Scizor?

Excadrill @ Earth Plate
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Iron Head

---

Why an Earth Plate?

---

Couldn't think of any other item that boosts damage so I thought this would be the closest I would get since it does boost ground type moves a bit. Maybe the steel plate would be better now that I think about it. I didn't wanna give it choice band since that would defeat the purpose of adding Excadrill in the first place

---

Maybe a Muscle Band?

---

earth plate is better than muscle band imo

---

Maybe. Just a suggestion tho since Earth Plate only boosts E-Quake

---

Well, it has mold breaker so I'm probably gonna be spamming earthquake but I'm really thinking about using the steel plate because I just hate fairies so much

---

Can you not just use life orb

---

It's already on Greninja

---

You could do Specs on Greninja and a Life Orb on Excadrill.

---

I'm also considering that but due to the fact that I'm not gonna do much switching on this team due to how fragile half of them are, being locked into one move is really discouraging me from using specs

---

You never mentioned that you can only use each item once, thats important information to actually have in the post

---

Well, that's true. That was just me not using the same items for no reason whatsoever. I guess I'll try that. Thanks
