So I'm trying to make a halfway decent Nihilego set for battlespot, battle tree, etc... Only problem is I can't use Choice Scarf as another mon has it, and locking into a single move seems lackluster anyway as I can use HP Ice or Fire to score KOs and get a Beast Boost and then switch to STAB attacks. Plus my team could use something to set Stealth Rock. To that end I came up with this:
Nihilego @ Life Orb
Timid @ 84 Def, 172 SpA, 252 Speed
-Sludge Wave
-Power Gem
-Hidden Power Ice (Fire is also an option)
-Stealth Rock
The given EV spread insures that it will get a Speedboost regardless of level scaling while giving it as much special attack as possible, putting the remainder to help fix its garbage physical bulk. With a Life Orb and HP Ice it's capable of OHKO'ing pretty much any variant of mons like Gliscor, Lando, and Garchomp. Effectively getting a boost off of them as it outspeeds them and then becomes difficult to revenge kill cleanly.
Is this fine? Or does anyone have a better idea?
