So what's stopping this threat. Before any of you say Mamoswine, think about it. Nothing is gonna wanna switch into this. And for all those max defensive fat mons like Clef, Hippo, Skarm, Quag, they are either getting 2HKO by Return or getting popped on the special side. Any speed boost will check every other Poke like Char, Pinsir, Garde, Medi.

And when this thing does get banned to Ubers, what's stopping it? For one thing, regular mence already outspeeds 75% of Ubers and with a D-Dance, nothing is switching in to a +1 Stab Return.

And D-Dance isn't the only set to run. Mence can also go mixed which has near perfect coverage with Fire Blast, EQ, Return, Draco Meteor.

Here are some calcs with REGULAR Mence (These calcs will probably go up due to the M-Evo)

252+ Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 325-384 (46.1 - 54.5%) -- 59% chance to 2HKO

252+ Atk Aerilate Salamence Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Clefable: 216-255 (54.8 - 64.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

4 SpA Salamence Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Hippowdon: 199-235 (47.3 - 55.9%) -- 23.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

4 SpA Salamence Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Skarmory: 230-272 (68.8 - 81.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
