>>29795868>SnowslashFormidable Sweeper on Hail Teams - RU to UU.
Alolan Sandslash @ Life Orb
Ability: Slush Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe or 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Adamant / Jolly or Impish Nature
- Icicle Spear / Icicle Crash
- Iron Head
- Leech Life
- EQ / Sword Dance
Basically just swap him in on a resisted hit (thank GOD he has Steel, he has 8 resists at least) and go to town. IS vs. IC is just the usual debate, Iron Head for decent STAB. Leech Life is for recovering off the Life Orb recoil at best, and it gets a few SE's in that you otherwise wouldn't. EQ is just for coverage, while Sword Dance could be used on a bulky set if you've removed the Fire/Fighting moves (kek).
Night Slash, Rock Slide, or Poison Jab COULD be used, but Ice/Steel/Bug already provides most of the coverage you'd get from those.
>NermalUsable Special Attacker in PU - only not dying thanks to Fur Coat and actually being able to damage thanks to Nasty Plot and Power Gem.
Alolan Persian @ Life Orb
Ability: Fur Coat
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Timid / Modest Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Power Gem
- T-Bolt / Taunt
There's not much more you can do. Fur Coat lets him actually switch in to a physical move occasionally, but it's still going to hurt like a bitch - It may even be better to give him 252 HP / 252 Def to make sure he can even come in and set up Nasty Plot at all. Elec/Dark/Ground coverage actually isn't terrible, with only Shiftry and Cacturne resisting it out of everyone else in the tier. Taunt is slashed with T-Bolt, and not Power Gem, because Power Gem is more likely to hit Pokemon on their weaker defensive stat than T-Bolt is. Choice Specs and Scarf is a poor option, because the ONLY other attacking move that's even worth considering would be U-Turn, which obviously will do piss poor damage coming from APersian.
>FaticateThe definition of a shitmon. I could make a joke set, but it would be nothing but that - just a fucking joke set.
