You see this nigga? I LOVE this nigga.
I'm trying to make a set for it that works. I've been thinking something along the lines of

Jolly/Unburden@ Power Herb

Sky Attack
Flying Press
Encore
Swords Dance.

Any advice on this maldito lil' guy?

Terrible set. If you want to go sky attack, go with SD, Acrobatics, HJK, and Sky Attack.

Use Focus Sash instead, he is fragile as fuck. Acrobatics, HJK, Swords Dance and anything to hit ghosts.

252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 speed. Unburden. Red Card.
>Acrobatics
>Hi Jump Kick
>Stone Edge / Encore
>Swords Dance

After Unburden and a Swords Dance, Acrobatics will outspeed one-shot basically anything that doesn't resist it. I like to run Stone Edge so that if they have a smogonbird I can hope to God the Red Card pulls it out. It's happened before and it was glorious.

I know, but I don't want to have to run him at 1hp all the time in order to take advantage of Unburden.

What's wrong with Hawlucha?

It's just as quirky as Jynx and Hitmonchan.

This looks really solid. I'm definitely going to test it.

Still open to other set ideas though.

Hawlucha @ Power Herb
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- High Jump Kick
- Acrobatics
- Sky Attack
- Swords Dance

This is your standard Hawlucha. Come in when anything that can threaten him is dead (or whatever can threaten him is nearly dead) and you can force something out, Swords Dance, Sky Attack whatever switches in and win with your +2 Atk/Unburden wrecking ball.

I go with an odd surprise set.

Hawlucha @ Dread Plate
Unburden
252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly
-Fling
-SD
-Acrobatics
-HJK

SD while the counter is lured, kill it with a heavy Fling, then use the Unburden boost to sweep with supersanic speed

So, why the hate for Flying Press in here? I know that High Jump Kick and Acrobatics do more damage and have more coverage separately, but the coverage Flying Press does offer could enable another move to be added to the set, like Encore or Stone Edge.

because /vp is full of autistic douchebags that if something is the "accepted" norm, they have to find a reason why it definitely isnt good or cool. flying press is a great move and its coverage makes it VERY viable.

But it seems the norm is not to use it.
Well, anyway I'll test it out. I really like the concept of it.

He gets better coverage with dual stab. He gets the benefits of flying and fighting types without the drawbacks. Also, unburden lets him abuse acrobatics and he learns HJK so it's a win-win

These are valid points, but I don't think that makes Flying Press a shit move. If you look at the conversation above there are some points to be made for it.

Because it's weaker and generally worse than HJK/Acrobatics separately?

Cry harder.

I see, well I'll keep testing both sets. I like the idea of having triple coverage in two move slots but if it ends up not being viable I suppose that's life.
