Moves
========

  • Setting Stealth Rock and Spikes lets foes be worn down
  • Scald does decent damage to mons like mudsdale and offensive alolan sandslash
  • Ice Beam hits grass and dragon-types like victreebel and Silvally-Dragon
  • Hidden Power Electric hits opposing Water-types like Swilfish and Swanna
  • Toxic Spikes can be used over Spikes to put opposing mons on timers
  • Icy Wind can be in the forth slot and helps weaken the foe, making it easier for them to revenge kill
  • Shell Smash can also be used in the forth slot for a surprise attack but isnt worth the lack of coverage

Set Details
========

  • Weak armor furthers this, raising omastar's speed to be faster than almost all of the unboosted metagame
