Empoleon @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 76 Def / 180 SpD
Calm Nature
- Scald
- Defog / Stealth Rock
- Toxic
- Protect
Empoleon is a great Pokemon in UU, recently rising to top-tier status, as it boasts an excellent typing that allows it to check a whole host of threats like Primarina, Nihilego, and most Latias sets. Empoleon fits very well on bulky offense and balance teams and acts as a great Defogger, deterring common Stealth Rock setters like Hippowdon and Mega Aggron from switching into it with Scald. In addition, it can also function well as a Stealth Rock setter, as it can threaten Defoggers like Hydreigon, Latias, and Mega Altaria with Toxic. Empoleon is also great at spreading status with Scald and Toxic and is capable of racking up even more chip damage and gaining more passive recovery with Protect. However, Empoleon is weak to three common types in Electric, Fighting, and Ground, making teammates such as Hydreigon, Celebi, and Latias very appreciated. In addition, it struggles to beat Stealth Rock setters like Mamoswine, Blissey, and Swampert, which is something that must be considered when putting Empoleon on a team.
