[OVERVIEW]
Even with Technician, Kricketune’s lack of any offensive stats prevents it from using this quirk to the fullest. Due to its weakness to Stealth Rock and very poor defenses, Kricketune only functions as a suicide lead on the niche playstyle of Sticky Web, but even there it is outclassed by Smeargle and Shuckle which compress both Sticky Web and Stealth Rock, are faster or bulkier, and have far better support moves like Spore and Encore.
[SET]
name: Suicide Lead
move 1: Sticky Web

move 3: Taunt

ability: Technician
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
Kricketune is only to be used as a suicide lead by setting up Sticky Web and then maybe knocking an opposing Pokemon out with Endeavor and Bug Bite. However, this set is easily shut down by Taunt users such as Froslass and Qwilfish, which are often leads in their own right. Kricketune is also outclassed by Smeargle and Shuckle, which both carry far superior support moves.
