#395 - Empoleon

Name: Empoleon
Number: 395
Type: Water/Steel

Example Set
Pivot @ Choice Specs
252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Torrent, Modest
- Surf / Scald
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power Electric
- Grass Knot

Explanation of Set
The idea of this set is to switch in on a resisted move from a Pokemon who likely can't hit you hard, and then punish their switch/staying in with a ridiculously strong special move. This lets your Empoleon serve as a pivot, as it should hit the enemy Pokemon very hard, allowing you to hopefully finish them off with another switch in.
Surf vs. Scald is a choice here. For maximum pain, take Surf - but if you can burn their Physical Attacker, Empoleon will only be able to switch in more.

Example Set
Bulky Sweeper @ Life Orb
88 HP / 252 SpA / 168 Spe
Torrent, Modest
- Agility
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Grass Knot

Explanation of Set
This set functions somewhat like the previous one - but instead of just whacking your opponent silly, this one takes hits less well, but with Agility, can become a fearsome sweeper. 168 Speed EVs allows you to outspeed maximum base 130s with Agility, and from there it's go time.
