[b]That sure is a nice move you have there, it would be a shame if I was to use it first..[/b]
Accelgor (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Hydration
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Me First
- Final Gambit
- Bug Buzz
- Spikes
This guy is pretty fast. Well I say pretty fast, I mean he outspeeds a ton of scarfers. Scary right? Perfect if used in combination with Me First! Sure it's slightly unreliable, but if you can pull it off, extremely effective. Me First copies any damage-dealing move that the target is about to use and increases the power by 50%. Used with a focus sash to take a hit from say, a banded Outrage then simply outspeed and Me First, that is a very dead Dragon (Unless of course it has set up..). Even still you can jump in on a safe switch and use Final Gambit, with the max HP invested you're more than likely to kill any sweeper that isn't running max HP for their own, still I say being able to get the sweeper down to a reasonable amount of HP to be revenge killed works out. Bug Buzz is simple STAB, "Tons of damage". Spikes is an interesting one, normally you would want to save this guy for the late game via Me First, yet he can be an effective lead. As I mentioned earlier most Pokemon that don't have HP invested will never survive a Final Gambit, although it does get rid of Accelgor itself.. Getting a few layers of spikes coupled with stealth rocks is worth the sacrifice, for sure. Just keep in mind Final Gambit works with the amount of HP you have currently.
