Hello /vp/ so I want to get a head start on shiny
weekend and breed a good Chespin, I'm thinking
about taking it online competitive even tho
Chesnaught isn't the best. but looking at him
and his stats I don't even know where to start.
Do any of you have some good ideas for
move sets and Ev's ?
Also Chesnaught appreciation thread !

Remember to bring along a pokemon that can resist Talonflame's STABs, just saying.

Ofc, like I said I know Chesnaught isn't the best
choice on a team, I just really wanna try him out
in a competitive battle.

Chesnaught is actually pretty decent since it can counter most Aegislash sets, as well as Mega Gyarados, most Tyranitars (including Dragon Dance Mega w/ Ice Punch) and a bunch of other stuff.

I personally use subseed with Leech Seed/Spiky Shield/Substitute/Hammer Arm.

What Ev's do you run on you Chesnaught ?
I kinda like the pain split on him, but is he just too
slow to use it properly ?

You could probably use some more inspired spread to avoid a handful of special attacks or more attack for certain OHKO but start with that.

He would certainly take physical hits like a boss!
Whats your move set ?

>>18805759
How well does he take those special hits ?
Because I've also been thinking about running
an assault vest Chesnaught, but if he can take
special hits fine then there would be no need
with just the normal investment.

252 SpA Life Orb Protean Greninja Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Chesnaught: 307-367 (80.7 - 96.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Chesnaught can decently tank special attacks if Sp. Def EV trained, and that's without Assault Vest. Plus he can OHKO Greninja with a single Hammer Arm after that attack (assuming Greninja don't run Focus Sash). The only issue is that Chesnaught might be too damaged to do well for the rest of the match, but that probably depends on the situation.

Choice Spec'd Greninja can OHKO 252 SpD Chesnaught, but I don't often see Choice Spec Greninjas, so a Sp.D trained Chesnaught is probably safe.
