Hitmonlee @ Normal Gem
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 252 Atk / 6 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Close Combat
- Fake Out
- Knock Off
I've been having fun using Hitmonlee with this build. Fake Out + Normal Gem + Unburden means you (hopefully) get the first turn for free and start going fast. From there you ideally follow-up with Close Combat. Bulk drop can be ignored because you're faster than most things anyway, so you only have to worry about priority and Sucker Punch, which is where Bullet Punch comes in. You can also use it against Fairies, but it's not very good. You can replace it with Mach Punch if you like. Knock Off is there to deal with the inevitable Ghosts that would ruin your gimmick and for general utility. It can be ruined by status spam, but no build is perfect.
What gimmicks does /vp/ use?
