If executed correctly, this Pokémon could be the strongest of all Pokes in OU. It has enough strength to tear holes in the fabric of the space-time continuum. That's how insanely powerful this is. The goal is to set up a sub on someone who thinks that you're choiced against something that doesn't want to be against it, specifically Ferrothorn, and then Belly Drum. Then, use your Attack stat that hits [i]over 1500[/i] to destroy, quite literally, everything. 4 HP EVs lets you activate your Salac Berry when you Belly Drum behind a Sub. Fire Punch is obvious and grabs a Sheer Force boost, making it even more powerful. Flare Blitz is out of the question, as the recoil will instantly kill you and the power isn't even needed. Rock Slide is usually recommended over Earthquake, as Earthquake can leave you open against a number of things, such as Multiscale Dragonite. However, Earthquake is slightly more accurate than Rock Slide, so it's always an option. Basically, if your Sub is still up after you've Belly Drummed, you've pretty much won, unless the opposing team has two priority users/scarfed Pokémon that have over 317 Speed. The most obvious support that this set needs is Spinning, as Stealth Rock/Spikes ruins the entire set. Starmie, Tentacruel, Forretress, and Donphan are 4 names that come to mind, but there are more available. Other than that...after this set sets up, there's next to nothing that walls it, except maybe Rhyperior if you're running Rock Slide. Even that's a stretch. Extremely defensive Garchomp [i]might[/i] be able to take a Fire Punch, but that's unlikely as well. As long as you have a spinner, your team shouldn't need much more support.
