Gen 8 LC
Anorith @ Life OrbAbility: Battle ArmorLevel: 5EVs: 236 Atk / 36 SpD / 236 SpeJolly Nature- Rock Slide- X-Scissor- Knock Off- Swords Dance
Rock Blast is Anorith’s most consistent Rock STAB and its best way of breaking the tier’s Fire types. X-Scissor muscles through the Psychic types (Abra, Slowpoke, etc) and deals massive damage to Grookey. Knock Off is Anorith’s most spammable option, hitting Frillish super effectively and breaking down Pokemon reliant on their items. Swords Dance may be difficult to position, but doing so will give Anorith even more opportunities to break past ultra-defensive Pokemon. It will need teammates that can remove Mienfoo from the field.
Other options- Brick Break is a neat tech option for Pawniard and Ferroseed, but it’s very difficult to slot in over one of your other four moves.- Rock Blast may be used instead of Rock Slide to get a jump on Focus Sash Abra, but it has few uses outside of this.- Replacing X-Scissor with Rapid Spin makes Anorith a utility Pokemon that has a harder time getting through Carvanha. You will want to swap the Life Orb with Eviolite if you go this route.- Hone Claws is inferior to Swords Dance but makes your Rock STAB more reliable.- Aerial Ace lets Anorith hit otherwise-checks like Mienfoo and Timburr, but it lacks power and isn’t easy to make room for.- Aqua Jet outspeeds Diglett but doesn’t do much else for you.
Anorith is a great Pokemon for LC, and I really enjoy using it! Here’s the set that I use!
Anorith @ Life OrbAbility: Battle ArmorLevel: 5Shiny: YesEVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 236 SpeJolly Nature- Aqua Jet- Hone Claws / Swords Dance- X-Scissor- Rock Tomb
The HP EVs let’s is live a couple hits extra, so it can do its thing. Speed and Attack investments mean that it outspeeds a lot of things, but being the slow little claw bug we all know and love, Aqua Jet really helps, especially for coverage too. Swords Dance doubles Attack, and while Hone Claws raises it a bit less, it makes Rock Tomb a bit more accurate, so it’s really your choice! X-Scissor and Rock Tomb are strong STAB moves. The Life Orb also makes this thing so so strong, really love this lil' guy :)Also, Pokemon such as Archen, Contrary Superpower Inkay, and Focus Sash Abra are a little bit easier to deal with now!
Hope this set helps someone!
" The Old Shrimp Pokemon " LMAO.
