LC Skiddo

[Alan]

[OVERVIEW]
Skiddo is a strange case in that it has a great movepool and stats to take advantage of said movepool, but it struggles to find a use in such a fast-paced tier. Bulk Up, reliable recovery, and good enough coverage isn't enough to make it consistently viable in a tier littered with Flying-types and Poison-types. Skiddo also faces stiff competition from Snivy for an offensive role and Foongus and Ferroseed as a defensive Pokémon.

[SET]
name: Bulk Up
move 1: Bulk Up
move 2: Horn Leech
move 3: Rock Slide
move 4: Zen Headbutt / Brick Break
item: Eviolite
ability: Sap Sipper
nature: Careful
evs: 236 Atk / 52 Def / 220 SpD

[SET COMMENTS]
The goal is to set up with Bulk Up and break through your opponent's team. While Skiddo offers a unique option, it struggles to find a way onto most teams. Snivy offers a faster, more offensive choice, while Foongus or Ferroseed are usually chosen for their defensive abilities.

Dropping this here for someone else to think about; 236 Attack is pretty important, but is zhb better than bb? I would think so.

[SET COMMENTS]
The set aims to take full advantage of Skiddo's above-average natural bulk and complimentary coverage. Skiddo in a wierd weird limbo state in terms of viability in that Little Cup is fairly fast-paced and slower setup users aren't really sought after. It isn't as much outclassed by Snivy, Ferrothorn Ferroseed or Foongus, as it struggles to find a spot on a team where the tradeoff is worth it.

QC: 2/2

ok

[SET]
Agreeing with Fiend, slash ZHB before Brick Break. Definitely still keep BB as a slash though.

[SET COMMENTS]
You need to expand on that first sentence to say what Skiddo's doing (setting up and trying to sweep/wallbreak with its good bulk). There's no real "tradeoff" for Skiddo, rephrase that to explain that there's not many teams that prefer Skiddo's niche.

Skiddo is a strange case in that it has a great movepool and stats to take advantage of said movepool, but it struggles to find a use in such a fast-paced tier. Bulk Up, reliable recovery.(AC) and good enough coverage isn't enough to make it consistently viable in a tier littered with Flying-types and Poison-types. Skiddo also faces stiff competition from Snivy as for an offensive role (or you can say "as an offensive Grass-type", but "as" + "role" doesn't really work together) and Foongus or and Ferroseed as a defensive Pokémon.

The goal is to setup set up with Bulk Up and using the boosted Attack and Defense to wallbreak break through your opponent's team. While Skiddo offers a unique option, it struggles to find a way onto most teams. Snivy offers a faster, more offensive choice, while Foongus or and Ferroseed are usually chosen for their defensive abilities.
