Offensive Entry Hazard Setter (Archaludon) @ Leftovers
Ability: Primordial Sea
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Draco Meteor
- Electro Shot
- Earthquake / Body Press

[SET COMMENTS]
Archaludon acts as a niche Stealth Rock setter that scares away common entry hazard removal options like Corviknight, Mandibuzz, and Great Tusk with the combination of Electro Shot and Draco Meteor. Furthermore, Electro Shot + Primordial Sea allows Archaludon to threaten to snowball at a moment's notice. Earthquake smacks Desolate Land Iron Moth and Heatran attempting to come in on Electro Shot, while Body Press chunks checks like Blissey and Volt Absorb Empoleon. Primordial Sea allows Archaludon to offensively counter Iron Moth and grants it a one-turn Electro Shot. Additionally, Archaludon's good typing and natural physical bulk allow it to take on Zapdos and all Ogerpon formes in a pinch, but it should never be relied on to check them. Archaludon greatly struggles with its lack of Speed; as a result, fast offensive pivots that can bring it in safely like Roaring Moon, Azelf, and Walking Wake pair well with it, especially considering its ability to force hazard damage on their switch-ins, like Corviknight, Empoleon, and Manaphy. Archaludon's low Special Defense and Speed cause it to be susceptible to special attackers like Walking Wake, Azelf, and Pixilate Scream Tail, making pivots that can safely switch in to them like Empoleon, RegenVest Manaphy, and Swampert good partners.

Archaludon acts as a niche Stealth Rock setter that scares away common entry hazard removal options like Corviknight, Mandibuzz, and Great Tusk with the combination of Electro Shot and Draco Meteor. Furthermore, Electro Shot + Primordial Sea allows is a fucking broken move, allowing No comment... Archaludon to threaten to snowball at a moment's notice. Earthquake smacks Desolate Land Iron Moth and Cinderace attempting to come in on Electro Shot, while Body Press chunks Blissey and Chansey Could mention stuff like Ting-Lu and VA Empo, and also maybe remove one of the blobs as well. Primordial Sea allows it to offensively Iron Moth and grants Archaludon a risk-free Electro Shot. Additionally, Archaludon’s good typing and natural physical bulk allows it to check Zapdos, Azelf A bit weird to first mention its great physical bulk, and then mention mostly special attackers, also Arch gets 2hkoed by azelf and takes ~40% from zap anyways while getting outsped by both, and all Ogerpon formes in a pinch, but should never be relied on to check them. Archaludon greatly struggles with its lack of speed; as a result, fast offensive pivots that can bring it in safely like Roaring Moon, Azelf, and Walking Wake pair well with Archaludon, especially with Archaludon’s ability to force entry hazard chip on their switchins, like Corviknight, Empoleon, and RegenVest RegenVest is the most common set, if you wanna specify Physdef that's fine but otherwise just remove it Manaphy. Archaludon's susceptibility to special attackers like Walking Wake, Azelf, and Pixilate Scream Tail as a result of its low Special Defense makes pivots that can safely switch in to these special attackers like Empoleon, RegenVest Manaphy, and Swampert good partners.

Furthermore, Electro Shot + Primordial Sea allows Archaludon to threaten to snowball at a moment's notice. Earthquake smacks Desolate Land Iron Moth and Cinderace Heatran cinder is a weird mention when it gets smacked by draco anyways attempting to come in on Electro Shot, while Body Press chunks checks like Blissey and Volt Absorb Empoleon. Primordial Sea allows it to offensively counter Iron Moth and grants Archaludon a risk-free Electro Shot risk-free isn't what i would use when you could electro shot into a desoland user and die, something like "one-turn" would be better. Additionally, Archaludon’s good typing and natural physical bulk allows it to check Zapdos and all Ogerpon formes in a pinch feels weird to say physical bulk then mention zapdos, i'd say something like dnite, but should never be relied on to check them. Archaludon greatly struggles with its lack of speed; as a result, fast offensive pivots that can bring it in safely like Roaring Moon, Azelf, and Walking Wake pair well with Archaludon, especially with Archaludon’s ability to force entry hazard chip on their switchins, like Corviknight, Empoleon, and Manaphy.
