Kabutops @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Liquidation
- Knock Off / Superpower
- Rapid Spin
With a good STAB combination, powerful moves, and neat utility options, Kabutops can make for a solid Choice Scarf user in PU. With it, Kabutops can reliably switch into and outspeed many of the top threats in PU such as Froslass and Oricorio-E. Utility-wise, Knock Off is good for crippling Pokemon such as Tangela and Gurdurr, and a fast Rapid Spin allows Kabutops to remove entry hazards in a pinch. Superpower can make for a good option over Knock Off though to handle Pokemon such as Alolan Sandslash and Omastar. This set pairs well with Pokemon such as Rotom-F and Lilligant, since Kabutops can clear entry hazards and handle Flying- and Fire-types for them, respectively, while Rotom-F can provide momentum and additional entry hazard removal, and both of them can handle Pokemon that Kabutops struggles against such as Tangela and Quagsire.
