Blind Man Trolling


Zen

Recommended Posts

So, given that my rock-type monotypes were suffering so horribly in singles, I decided to venture into the rock-type legendaries since all but terrakion usually suck, anyway :P Specifically, I was looking for a legendary who could help me with those annoying skarmory/gliscor that always wall my rock teams.

I ended up settling on regirock, of all pokemon.

After a short discussion with Ame, when he mentioned regirock needing a steady source of recovery, I recalled that the Braille-studded thing could learn Drain Punch. Score! Coupled with the following EV's, he typically doesn't need speed, even - both defenses are high enough (SDef requires sand to back it, though) to weather a hit and retaliate accordingly.

But of course, this is the laboratory! So it's a doubles concept :)

Lunatone floats it up, and you may commence the rocking. Smack Down and Earthquake are a two-piece combination intended to ground skarmory for an Earthquake, whereas Ice Punch with maximum Atk trolls gliscor. Drain Punch is for recovery, as stated earlier.

So far, it's done reasonably well against its intended victims, and has even managed to take down a scizor who Bullet Punched it with +2 Atk. Opposing terrakion are also vulnerable, since they typically use Close Combat, which can't beat through regirock's defenses if it's at full HP.

If you want it to be more towards an anti-scizor/ferrothorn/forretress thing, you could substitute Ice Punch for Fire Punch.
