[OVERVIEW]
-Pyroak Fits In most balanced and bulky teams due the really good bulk with 120 HP/ 105 DEF/ 90 SpD.
-Great fairy resist
-Acces to syntesis for heal himself and live more.
-One of the best stealth rock setter resisting pretty much all the common leads such as Tapu Koko, Ferrothorn, Excadrill, Skarmory, Garchomp, Necturna, And Syclant
-Have Roar for set up pokemon like aurumoth, scizor, charizard x, Magearna, Gastrodon, Quagsire, Serperior And Xurkitree
-One of the biggest weakness that Pyroak have is weak to Stealth rocks
-Low speed
-Weak to most used in z cristal in the game flynium
-Flying, poison and rock types can easilly switch and stay there beacuse Pyorak don't have much offensive

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========
- Stealth rock is for put the rocks in the team beacuse the great bulk let put the rock easily
- Syntesis is for heal and keep Pyroak safe
- Lava plume is the more spameable move due hit strong and have a 30% chance to burn adjacent Pokemon which cab be really good allowing to resit much better the physical move like rock slide from excadrill, An outrage from garchomp, etc
-The last slot depends for you own style and the team if you team is more bulky and weak to fire types you should use Earth power but You can get walled by bulky water types. That why you can use giga drain giving like this a move that can hit water types and 2HKO gastrodon and OHKO Quagsire. I prefer use Roar beacuse one of the weakness that pyroak have is your opponent can set up really easy due pyroak is easy to predic what run and they Don't expect the roar and you keep the momentum

Set Details
========

-252 HP and 252 SpD allow to survive to strong special hit like Psychic from scarf tapu lele doing, Fire blast from volkraken, Hydro pump from Specs keldeo, Over heat z from Aurumoth, Dark pulse from Specs Greninja A.
-4 Def Is for if the opponent get burn, Pyroak can take some strong physical move from mixed wallbreakers such as Subzero slammer Doing a guaranted 3HKO. That's why I decide put the 4 in def but you can put it in SpA if you want to hit a little more
-Leftovers is for healt
-Battle Armor is for prevent critics and be a more safe wall

Usage Tips
========
-Pyroak Fits more in Balanced team due he can put the rocks and work as a special wall for the team. You must be carefull with the rocks for you side you don't want to switch and recive 25% of healt + the atack from the opponent So you need to get rid of the rocks and switch to pyroak to resist that special atacker pokemon.
-to uses syntesis you can do it when you are fighing a pokemon which can do to much damage or when you have low heal but never in front of a poison or flying type or a set up sweeper beacuse they can predic that syntesis and set up
-In order to atack you always use Lava plume due is the most strong move he have in the set to hit those steel and bug types. If you Have giga drain you use that move for recover and hit water types like keldeo or gastrodon. If you use Earth power you can used to hit heatran and prevent the rocks.
-Stealth rock you can use it when you are fighting a safe pokemon which can't deal a lot of damage or when you use pyroak as a lead
-Pyroak can be used as a lead beacuse the bulk it have

Team Options
========
-Cyclohm really works as a partner beacuse can check and resit all the strong physical flying sweeper like Landorus-t which can give a lot of problems to pyroak.
-Ferrothorn as well can work as a hazzard setter with spikes and resist poison types and make more preassure.
-Water Absorb pokemons can be good for pyroak due pyroak can't deal too much damage to strong water types like Specs greninja, Specs kingra, Specs Volkraken. So Gastrodon is a nice parnter
-Excadrill can work as a spinner due the typing and can M-crucibelle and Charizard Y. Which can be a problem for pyroak
-Any steel or electric bulky pokemon

Moves
========
- Stealth rock is for put the rocks in the team beacuse the great bulk let put the rock easily
- Aromatherapy can work in this set beacuse can resit a lot more physical atacks and can heal the status much better than the previous set
- Syntesis is for heal and keep Pyroak safe
- Lava plume is the more spameable move due hit strong and have a 30% chance to burn adjacent Pokemon which cab be really good allowing to resit much better the physical move like rock slide from excadrill, An outrage from garchomp, etc

I prefer use Roar beacuse one of the weakness that pyroak have is your opponent can set up really easy due pyroak is easy to predic what run and they Don't expect the roar and you keep the momentum

Set Details
========
-243 HP Is for have a high hp 136 Def For resist phsysical moves like rock slide from Sand rush excadrill sweeper, Outrage from Garchomp, Outrage Subzero slammer z from kyurem b,
-124 SpD for resist the mixed wallbreakers who can hit with the special side like a Hidden power fire from Tapu lele, Ice beam from kyure m, Earth Fire blast from garchomp, Bug buzz from aurumoth and from cyclant.
Usage Tips
========

-This pokemon is very easy to use it due the good defence that have. Must really carefull with the rocks or strong special sweeper so If you wan't to put rocks you must do it when you are fighiting a Physical pokemon beacuse mixed resist more physical atacks than special.
-Pyroak Fits more in Bulky teams beacuse can resist for both side and can put the rocks easilly
-To do aromatherapy and syntesis you have to use it when you are fighting a pokemon who can't taunt you or hit you really strong
- Lava plume is the more spameable move due hit strong and have a 30% chance to burn adjacent Pokemon which cab be really good allowing to resit much better the physical move like rock slide from excadrill, An outrage from garchomp, etc
-The last slot depends for you own style and the team if you team is more bulky and weak to fire types you should use Earth power but You can get walled by bulky water types. That why you can use giga drain giving like this a move that can hit water types and 2HKO gastrodon and OHKO
Team Options
========

-Any bulky steel type which can take strong special atacks such as celesteela or Empoleon
-Colossoil can be a good parnert surviving some special atacks he can't survive like sludge wave from gengar for this set and quit the rocks and hit with earthquake those rock types pokemon
-Water absor pokemons this set is weak to strong water atackers so have a pokemon can be good the best is Gastrodon which can resist and hit with eq or scald
-Arghonaut can work as a spike setter and resist rock types like stratagem, Tyranitar, Terrakion, stakataka and crucibelle
-Kyurem B to deal landorus-t and hit with ice beam to flying types

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

-Aromatherapy is good but I don't preffer this much beacuse have low PP and is not very situational like Stealth rock or syntesis And there are better user for cure the status like Clefable or chansey
-Use max Defensive can work but the metagame is not that great for him with the popularity of flynium z and Poison type such as gengar, crucibelle, Muk-A and a buch of strong special sweeper that defensive pyroak can't handle like Blacephalon
-Subtitute, protec and leech seed can work to stall some pokemons and anoying pokemon who can't touch pyroak. But you get walled by any flash fire pokemon and the can just taunt you beacuse you aren't fast
-Toxic can work for deal more damage
-Dragon tail to phaze and deal more damage but don't have to much PP
-Ancient power can be good for flying types but don't do a good damage

Checks and Counters
===================

-Tomohawk: Pyroak can't touch him lava plume dosen't do the necesary damage to kill him and tomo can taunt you and kill you with Hurricane or air slash

-Offensive Flying types: Mega pidgeot, Mega aerodactyl, Offensive celesteela, Life orb tomohawk, Dragonite, Gyarados all this pokemon can OHKO pyroak and he can't do very much due the low offensive and don't have a good coverage move for they

-Poison type: Pretty much all used poison type can kill or wall pyroak. Gengar, nihilego, Crucibelle and mega beedrill can kill him and for wall Mega venusaur, muk-a, mollux and Toxapex and with earth power can't do a good portion of damage. And lava plume dosen't kill Gengar or mega beedrill

-Residual damage: Stealth rocks and toxic can deal a lot of damage to pyroak and don't let pyroak play free

-Setup sweeper: For on pyroak with no roar in the set pokemon like Clefable, volcarona, crucibelle, zygarde, etc can easilly set up and destroy him

-Offensive Rock types: Mega diancie, tyranitar, terrakion can hit strong to Special defensive but the mixed set can resist

-Trick and Switcheroo Users: Being locked into one move via a Choice item completely cripples Pyroak, as it relies on status moves to fulfill its job.

-Bulky dragon types: Resist the stab move and can punish with a strong move like Outrage from SW garchomp, Outrage z from zygarde, Draco meteor from latios however those aren't to much for Mixed wall pyroak

I know this is WIP, but really Physically Defensive is the main Pyroak set and should be listed first.
 
Ok. I forgot about that set tbh


I know I have not worked on this due I have been bussy and for the couple of day I'm going to still be bussy due I have to go a summer camp for a couple of day and I soon have free time I'm going to finished.
