- Assuming Flame Charge doesn't go through, here are some movesets...
- First, I'd like to demonstrate why, as annoying as it might be, Bonemerang and Bone Rush are super strong and are likely broken on CAP25f.
- Moveset Submission
- Name: Bones the Metagame
- Move 1: Flame Wheel
- Move 2: Bulldoze
- Move 3: Hidden Power Ice
- Move 4: Bonemerang / Bone Rush
- Ability: Technician
- Item: Choice Band / Groundium Z / Soft Sand / Life Orb / Shuca Berry
- EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Nature: Jolly / Naive
- - Flame Wheel is a reliable Fire-type STAB that is necessary to tackle Pokemon like Celsteela. Note that by excluding Flare Blitz, I am showing that Bonemerang and Bone Rush's power are rather overbearing with even just Flame Wheel.
- - Bulldoze doesn't miss like Bonemerang and Bone Rush and drags down offensive switch-ins' speeed.
- - Technician Hidden Power Ice, even with Choice Band, allows CAP25f to smack Landorus-T for extremely reliable damage, as well as other uncommon Fire/Ground resists like Mega Aerodactyl and Salamence.
- - Bonemerang and Bone Rush would act as more powerful Ground-type STABs for when Bulldoze's power isn't enough.
- - Choice Band makes Bonemerang and Bone Rush hit things with really stupid power. Groundium Z makes Bonemerang a nuke; though it isn't as helpful for Bone Rush. Soft Sand provides a general power boost to Bulldoze and the bone moves. Life Orb notably helps Hidden Power Ice more powerful. Shuca Berry improves CAP25f's match up with offensive teams by tanking Earthquake and Earth Power.
- Let's look at Bonemerang first, as I think that one is the most explicitly broken.
- Now that I've shown that Bonemerang is broken, I want to show why Bone Rush, despite its damage variance, is also REALLY powerful and that we should be wary of it.
- With that out of the way, here are two actual moveset submissions I want to present.
- Moveset Submission
- Name: 3 Attacks + Offensive Utility
- Move 1: Flare Blitz / Flame Wheel
- Move 2: Bulldoze
- Move 3: Hidden Power Ice
- Move 4: Stealth Rock / Will-O-Wisp / Toxic
- Ability: Technician
- Item: Shuca Berry
- EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Nature: Jolly
- This first moveset targets offensive teams harder.
- Moveset Submission
- Name: 3 Attacks Breaker
- Move 1: Flare Blitz / Flame Wheel
- Move 2: Earthquake
- Move 3: Hidden Power Ice
- Move 4: Toxic / Stealth Rock
- Ability: Technician
- Item: Soft Sand / Groundium Z / Life Orb
- EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Nature: Jolly
- On the other hand, defensive teams have a harder time against this set.
