Empoleon:
hp: 94 (+10)
atk: 136 (+50)
def: 108 (+20)
sp atk: 131 (+20)
sp def: 121 (+20)
speed: 40 (-20)
ability: Intimidate/Drizzle/Unseen Fist clone
this physically boosted empoleon plays with defiant as base (to get boosted atk from an opponent with intimidate) and receives even more atk, surpassing the sp atk stat. however even if it's physically oriented the special atk variant is still very much playable. with the new armor and strength it loses some speed.
alternative:
hp: 84 (same)
atk: 66 (-20)
def: 123 (+35)
sp atk: 111 (same)
sp def: 136 (+35)
speed: 110 (+50)
ability: swift swim
penguins are known to be clumsy on land but fast and precise in water. this variant is sp atk oriented but base empoleon's defiant could still make physical attacks viable. it keeps its defensive role.
