Volcarona @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 248 HP / 240 Def / 20 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

- Bug Buzz
- Quiver Dance
- Roost

I prefer this spread on the fat bug. Volcarona is low key fat with excellent defensive typing for physical mons. Flame Body is delicious so make use of that. The current analysis spread is sacrificing some nice physical bulk for the ability to outspeed Zera and Pult at +1. Both those mons are weaklings that are set up fodder. The spread here puts speed one point above Timid Magnezone, just above Adamant Bisharp. Also, keep in mind for +1, most Torns are slow now (you out speed) and the most common viable scarfer LeLe you outspeed at +2. It’s stupidly easy to get this bulk to +2.

Obviously Bug Buzz is the coverage slot. Feel free to run Psychic, Giga Drain, Safeguard, U-Turn, whatever.

Regarding Rillaboom - the clown monkey can’t do shit to you. 16 SPA takes your 94% OHKO to guarantee but tbh that’s unnecessary Rilla is never at full health and again it can’t do shit to you. It makes the spread look more confusing for a situation that might come up once every hundreds of battles and will be irrelevant 94% of the time anyway.

Now witness the calcs:

+2 252+ Atk Life Orb Rillaboom Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 248 HP / 240+ Def Volcarona: 279-329 (74.7 - 88.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery

+2 252 Atk Life Orb Kartana Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 248 HP / 240+ Def Volcarona: 335-395 (89.8 - 105.8%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO

This is my favorite Kyurem set, as it rarely ever dies to anything; even Dragapult's Specs Draco Meteor doesn't OHKO it reliably. It works well on stall team to PP stall and also acts as a reliable wincon on bulky/HO teams. The minor 32 Speed EVs ensure it's faster than base Speed 110 after +1 and it's faster than Pult/Zeraora, etc. at +2. Beastly set.

Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Pain Split / Defog
- Thunder Wave / Will-O-Wisp

I've been playing with the Calc a lot lately, and when I saw that the Rotom-Wash spread isn't mixed which isn't what I wanted, I decided to make my own Rotom-Wash spread. The Sp.Def allows you to be 3HKOed by a +2 Offensive Nasty Plot Tornadus-T's Hurricane even after rocks, guaranteeing 3HKO from Offensive Zapdos' Thunder, and being 3HKOed by Choice Specs Dragapult's Shadow Ball. The defense allows you to be 3HKOed by Zeraora's Plasma Fist after rocks, being 3HKOed by an unboosted Weavile's Knock-Off while also avoiding OHKO from +2 Weavile's Knock off, guaranteeing a 3HKO from Jolly Choice Band Melmetal's Thunder Punch, and surviving both a Choice Band Urshifu Close Combat and Choice Band Zapdos-Galar Close Combat from full HP. Last but not least, the 8 Speed EVs allows you to outspeed Adamant Crawdaunt so you don't auto-lose to it. This is also crucial if you are using Thunder Wave, because you speed tie a paralyzed Dragapult so that means you outspeed everything below Dragapult's speed after a Thunder Wave (Excluding ones that are immune to Thunder Wave of course). The rest of the EVs are dumped into HP to maximize its bulk.

+2 252 SpA Tornadus-Therian Hurricane vs. 244 HP / 124+ SpD Rotom-Wash: 122-144 (40.3 - 47.6%) -- 3.9% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Zapdos Thunder vs. 244 HP / 124+ SpD Rotom-Wash: 135-159 (44.7 - 52.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Choice Specs Dragapult Shadow Ball vs. 244 HP / 124+ SpD Rotom-Wash: 126-148 (41.7 - 49%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

252 Atk Zeraora Plasma Fists vs. 244 HP / 132 Def Rotom-Wash: 123-145 (40.7 - 48%) -- 8.2% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Weavile Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 244 HP / 132 Def Rotom-Wash: 126-148 (41.7 - 49%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
+2 252 Atk Weavile Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 244 HP / 132 Def Rotom-Wash: 250-295 (82.7 - 97.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Choice Band Iron Fist Melmetal Thunder Punch vs. 244 HP / 132 Def Rotom-Wash: 132-156 (43.7 - 51.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Choice Band Zapdos-Galar Close Combat vs. 244 HP / 132 Def Rotom-Wash: 238-282 (78.8 - 93.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Choice Band Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Close Combat vs. 244 HP / 132 Def Rotom-Wash: 246-289 (81.4 - 95.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Shuckle @ Red Card
Ability: Sturdy
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 240 HP / 180 Def / 88 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Sticky Web
- Encore
- Final Gambit

Hello guys, my name is Bob and you can call me Bob.
Nice to meet you!

Today Bob would like to share one of what he thought to be the most efficient Shuckle spread.

Bob doesn't really like 252/252/4 or 248/252/8 either max Def or SpD for Shuckle because in certain situation we might forced to use our Shuckle not in first turn and not in full HP which obviously without his Sturdy. On the paper, mixed bulk variant should able to avoid 2HKO under 100% health from certain neutral unboosted attack which is always nice. It is not a feat that 252/252 Shuckle can always do.

To begin with, only CB Melmetal Double Iron Bash and CB Urshifu-RS Surging Strikes able to break Shuckle's Sturdy and OHKO at turn 1, so this become Bob's basis to calculate the best mixed bulk EVs spread for Shuckle.

Shuckle cannot survive CB Melm DIB no matter what unfortunately, it can't be helped. But he have a good chance to survive CB Surging Strikes, 56.2% at best with 252/252 max Def. And then Bob founds in surprise that this 240/182 Def nature works pretty much same!

252 Atk Choice Band Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 240 HP / 180+ Def Shuckle on a critical hit: 222-270 (92.1 - 112%) -- approx. 43.8% chance to OHKO

252 Atk Choice Band Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Shuckle on a critical hit: 222-270 (90.9 - 110.6%) -- approx. 43.8% chance to OHKO


If we take 4 more EV either from HP or Def, the approximate chance to OHKO increase to whopping 81,3%. How amazing. You can read the exact reason why in here (shoutout to Cuddly for kindly explained it). The rest is dumped to SpD, and conveniently we able to hit the magic number of HP so our Shuckle take less damage from Stealth Rock.

Of course, Shuckle can always switch out if we face Urshifu-RS on turn 1, but there is situation that forced us to bet on 56.2% chance, especially because we usually run Shuckle on Hyper Offense and the other 5 mon doesn't really like to take a hit from moist Shifu.

The item of choice and 0 speed negative nature is Bob's personal preference (0 speed so we can Encore non-White Herb opposing Shuckle at turn 1 and for Trick Room in case you're wondering), you can always change it to your liking.

That's it folks. Have a good day!

Regards,
Bob
