The goal of this team is simple - dent stuff until I can set up a sweep with DDMence. Suprisingly bulky despite it being offensively-oriented.

EVs: 252 HP / 108 Def / 148 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

Up to a certain point, I can add a few more SDef EVs to survive a little more, but I don't want to overdo it. I don't bring this out until it's safe. This is my endgame sweeper.Ancien Regime said:By investing 160 Special Defense EVs, Salamence is able to always survive a non-STAB Ice Beam coming from a special attack of less than 240. Of course, most bulky waters run far less than that. Furthermore, it will always survive a Hidden Power Ice coming from a special attack stat of less than 325. Finally, it will always survive an Ice Punch from a special attack of under 301.
