What are people running on this?
It's incredibly versatile so what builds have worked for people so far?
I've seen people run her as a sweeper using autotomize, or as a tank using leech seed and ingrain
also general UB build thread

Are you running modest with that or Bold/Calm?

I calculated on Showdown what a possible build like this could be.
with modest nature, you can run EVs 252hp,128D/Sp.d.
with perfect IVs it comes to
274D
275Sp.Atk
270Sp.D
so I guess with a golden bottlecap it would work

max speed + max sp atk with modest nature is also pretty viable

if you autotomize and kill something, it's difficult to stop celesteela

or you could distribute a little bit of the speed evs and put it into HP instead. that works better.

Careful Nature
@ Leftovers
252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Heavy Slam
Leech Seed
Protect
Flamethrower

Don't bother running anything else. Running a physically bulky varient of this is stupid since Skarmory outclasses it as a physical wall. Sets that run Autotomize + 3 Attacks are weak even after getting a +1 SpA boost. Ingrain is a gimmick move outside of Baton Pass chains.

Make your money off the combination of Leech Seed + Protect, which is a necessary combination to keep you healthy. You should be hitting 100 or 120 everytime with Heavy Slam which makes you less passive. Flamethrower punishes any Grass-types looking to absorb Leech Seed, mainly Ferrothorn. Don't bother with Air Slash, as it hits nothing relevant that Heavy Slam or Flamethrower don't already hit. Earthquake is also shit because you miss out on pressuring a larger range of threats for the sake of hitting two Pokemon on the switch.

Don't bother with a -Speed nature to preserve the SpA. Even with a -SpA nature you're still 2HKOing Ferrothorn and OHKOing offensive Scizor after SR. You get the jump on Sassy Tyranitar and 0 Speed Clefable if you keep Careful.

Eh, I see your examples, but I still went with Sassy.

That's fine, nobodybis really running Clefable at the moment and I've yet to see a Sassy Tyranitar in this metagame. Last I checked, you can OHKO bulkier Scizor with a neutral SpA nature, but that's pretty irrelevant imo since Scizor can't harm you.
