Don't Scroll If your name is Dammie










Well I guess if you don't know me in person you can.









So basically if your name is dammie and you know who I am, then don't read this article

I guess I can't get full credit for this set... I got the idea for this set from this guy on marriland that I battled, I never got to see him use the full set, just the general Idea of it. I can't remember the name of it since it was used soooo long ago. But basically the idea of the set is pretty cool and has saved me many times. It is now a standard part of my team.

Item: Liechi Berry

Nature: Adamant

Iv's 30Hp

Ev's: 252 Attack / 252 Spd / 6 SpDef

Moveset:
Substitute
Explosion
Spark
Torment/Taunt/ Hidden power Grass

Basic Idea is to get electrode in, not necessarily switched into an attack, sub until your berry activates, then decide your choice of action. If you still have a sub up, Spark or use your other move depending on the situation. Taunt prevents a set up, and hidden power Grass hits super effective on those pesky dual rock-ground types who otherwise entirely wall this set. Torment basically ruins choice sets, forcing them to struggle every other turn. It also eases prediction and kills sweeps as it is hard to sweep if you can't use the same move twice in a row. The speed of this set is what really helps it out a ton, as almost nothing will be faster than electrode and stop it from doing what it is supposed to do. Oh and the best possible IV's for the HPgrass set (good luck getting them) are 30Hp, 30SpA and everything else at 31. Oh and while I'm on the subject of IV's, the 30HP is so that your HP will be divisible by four.

Counters:
The biggest counters to this set are Rhyperior and Golem for their high defenses and resistance to explosion all tied together with their electric immunity. Such a combination is very bad for this set. While you will leave a dent with explosion, the dent will not be big. To explode on a physical wall or a ghost type is a very bad thing. Try to avoid it. Anything faster than electrode will be able to hit you before you sub, this could mess you up, especially if they are packing earthquake. However I believe there are only two things faster than electrode: Ninjask and Deoxys. Deoxys-Speed could pose a problem as with the right moves, it could Ohko this electrode. Marowak's, with their bonemerang, are possibly the biggest counter to this set, thankfully do not normally carry it.

Overall:
Fun set to use, Surprisingly useful, (I stopped a curselax after 3 curses with it) Probably my 3rd most often used set on the site.
