Crawdaunt - October 26th to November 2nd

Crawdaunt...it's pretty skirry, but it seems pretty nice. Post some sets here!

Life Orb Adaptability Jolly / Adamant
Moveset EVs
~ Dragon Dance
~ Waterfall
~ Crunch
~ Superpower / Taunt / Substitute
12 HP / 252 Atk / 244 Spe
This set makes use of the move Dragon Dance to raise Crawdaunt's Speed and Attack. After one boost, it outspeeds Pokemon with a base Speed of 105 and reaches 508 Attack, enabling it to break through many UU teams. Coupled with Crawdaunt's excellent dual Base 160 Power STABs, this crustacean will have very few troubles sweeping given the proper support.

The moves employed on this set are fairly straightforward. Dragon Dance is the basis of the set, boosting Crawdaunt's Attack and Speed to prime it for a sweep. Waterfall and Crunch are Crawdaunt's main attacks, with their awesome combined coverage capable of hitting almost every Pokemon in UU for neutral damage. However, the last slot is a much more difficult choice to make. Superpower is the primary option, enabling Crawdaunt to massacre Ferroseed and Empoleon, which would otherwise wall it. However, Taunt shuts down walls and prevents them from hitting Crawdaunt with a crippling status effect or setting up hazards or stat boosts. Substitute also stops Crawdaunt from being affected by status, and has the added bonus of allowing Crawdaunt to scout for moves its opponent may be able to stop it with.
