Taking Hippo
Hippopotas @ Eviolite
Trait: Sand Stream
212 HP / 20 Atk / 212 Def / 20 Spe
Impish Nature
~ Earthquake
~ Toxic
~ Slack Off
~ Sleep Talk / Stealth Rock
If you come in Shelmet, you can pretty much Toxic and then watch it die, maybe throw in an Earthquake here or there to weaken it. Sleep Talk is pretty much there for yawn.
If you come in on a Shell Smash, you can tank the Earthquakes and fire off one of your own and still come out on top, Earthquake will 2HKO through Oran Berry after the defense drop, making it a good answer for both of them.
