I cant think of anything halfway common that would outspeed it under trick room with fire type moves.Is there anything that could actually take an earthquake to the face and survive it enough to kill the scavalier?

Maybe a careful nature instead since it has all of that crazy attack stat. Might even try it out for myself.

But Escavalier doesn't learn EQ.

If it's for Trick Room, you want to give it a nature that lowers speed, so it can be as slow as possible, numbnuts. For +attack it would be Brave.

Whoops sorry.anything it can learn that stands a decent chance of ohko on a fire type? If you predict a switch when you bring it in you could also go for a 2ko but I figure that's risky if the opponent has figured out you aren't a random idiot by then.

You're best bet is probably something like this

Escavalier (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Shell Armor
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Megahorn
- Iron Head
- Poison Jab
- Fell Stinger

Maybe split the EV spread from all HP to half HP and half Sp. Def. Either way it has no moves

For your last move you may want knock off or pursuit. Knock off allowing you to better tank pokemon by removing choice items or leftovers etc.

Knock-off is actually a pretty god idea, especially considering it got quite a boost this gen.

For a while, I ran a defensive set, with Rock Smash. It worked because of the auto def. decrease, and able to take hits. It could poke some good holes.

But for this Gen, Knock Off would work. I don't think you would need Poison Jab since Iron Head will already hit Super Effective towards Fairys plus stab, and Poison doesn't have much coverage.

Whoops, didn't mean to say "auto def. decrease".
