It has a good match-up against bulky offense teams and threatens out a multitude of Pokemon. Scald is optional over Hydro Pump is you struggle against the likes of Slowking or Ferrothorn and wish to fish for a burn. Flip Turn allows it to bring in a switch-in to gain momentum during the battle. In conjuction with trappers such as Weavile, Charizard-Delta or Kingambit, it may be able to trap some of its threats. Ice Beam is ran for bulky Grass types such as Tangrowth or for Water Absorb Clodsire. However, Psychic might be preferred to deal with Toxapex instead. The given EV spread allows it to outspeed Corviknight. An EV Spread utilizing 176 Speed can be used to outspeed Adamant Kingambit.
