...But aside from the details that don't matter, it's Pure Power + setting up Dual Screens (or an aurora veil, either works really) and a +1 attack boost on switchin.

It would absolutely be if it wasn't a Marill.

Flavour Text
============

Explanation
===========
[Please explain the role of your staffmon in a battle.  Include your reasoning behind any aspects that do not adhere to the guidelines on the forums.

This Pokémon is designed to put a hamper on all kinds of threats, whether they're a lightning bruiser, a boost farmer, or just plain annoying. Its ability and moveset are made to make opposing Pokémon easier for the rest of the team to handle, by setting up screens to (temporarily) handle sweepers, stealing boosts from boosters, and paralyzing anything that's too fast to handle. With eviolite and dual screens, this Pokémon is definitely bulky enough to take even the strongest hits in the meta. As such, I opted not to give it direct recovery or a boosting move of its own, because that would just be pushing it.

With the Ability (Pure Power + Screens + a +1 Attack boost) and the Eviolite factored in, this is what the Marill's final stats will look like:

281 HP
456 Atk
504 Def
 68 SpA
504 SpD
116 Spe

With only 116 speed, it's unlikely that this Pokémon will outspeed even a paralyzed foe.

I added a +1 Attack boost to the ability because 304 Attack is weak in my opinion; I want this Pokémon to have some killing power, after all.

In the event that this Pokémon is still found to be broken, the best course of action in my opinion would be to reduce this Pokémon's attack strength by changing the nature to Impish and changing the EV spread to [252 Atk / 96 Def / 160 SpD], which would make the final stats as follows:

281 HP
417 Atk
528 Def
 68 SpA
528 SpD
116 Spe

Alternatively you can just go with the original nature/EV spread and remove the +1 attack boost to make it super weak.


→ Okay, cool. Why does it have Metronome?
Because I like Metronome.
