<p><p><p><p><p><p>Switch into a Water move, gain +1 SpA with it, + 2 Speed with Unburden, and if you can force a switch, use SD to get the Attack boost. With this, you troll over Jolly Excadrill in the sand by 2 points, and Focus Blast can hurt Ferrothorn badly while Giga Drain is STAB move of choice. Acrobatics + SD + no item = ow ow ow. Bye bye Conkeldurr!</p></p></p></p></p></p>
<p><p><p><p><p><p>100 HP survives CB Bullet Punch from Scizor, if I did the calcs right. Though, physical Sceptile is pretty weak, and you have to be sure you're not switching out once you get this out in the field. Skarm eats it alive. I figure Sceptile is resistant to water or elec, so why not use a makeshift pinch berry if they're not here? Absorb Bulb is better b/c there are moar waters.</p></p></p></p></p></p>
