my favorite pokemon right now in uu:
Electrode@ Life Orb
Naive
4 ATK / 252 SPA / 252 SPE
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Ice
- Explosion
- Sucker Punch / Taunt
i think a lot of people just look at me funny on ladder when i pull this out but right off the bat, you have a reliable revenger to swellow/scyther/etc unless they have quick attack which still probably won't ko.
Unfortunately don't outspeed Max Speed Adamant Tort after Rock Polish but i have fought so many non max speed adamant torterra that instead invested in some bulk that electrode can make a decent revenge killer in a pinch. explosion blows away chansey literally if you can predict well enough, and thunderbolt 2hkos basically anything that doesn't resist not named tomb/chansey/registeel. sucker punch is kind of filler but can be last desperation against something fast or priority with a little hp left. Taunt can stop stall teams.
i really like soundproof, as it can make stuff like roar useless (and heal bell as well but i havent run into this scenario yet)
I don't really get why I like this Pokemon so much but i have included it on all my uu teams since i started laddering and its done pretty well.
