Numel @ Life OrbLevel: 5Ability: SimpleEVs: 240 SpA / 236 SpeModest Nature- Flame Charge- Fire Blast- Earth Power- Hidden Power Electric
Flame Charge boosts speed by +2 thanks to Simple, allowing Numel to outspeed Scarfers such as Mienfoo after a boost. The other moves are chosen to inflict heavy damage thanks to STAB and HP Electric to hit water types.
While I know it’s kinda weird to answer my own questions, I just couldn’t resist posting this Numel set!^
Numel @ EvioliteAbility: SimpleModest Nature196 HP / 236 SpA / 76 Def-Rest-Sleep Talk-Ancient Power-Flamethrower
The crux of this set is the Simple Ancient Power. If you’re lucky, you snag a free Swords Dance, Iron Defense, Nasty Plot, Amnesia, and Rock Polish AT THE SAME TIME. That’s crazy! At +2, Flamethrower can do a heck of a lot of damage to even Pokemon that 4X resist it. Here’s one calculation from Showdown’s Damage Calculator:
+2 236+ SpA Numel Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Gible: 15-18 (60 - 72%) – guaranteed 2HKO
And that’s assuming they’re running full HP investment, which almost no one does. You can sponge the Earthquake or Outrage it throws at you on the first turn with no problem and KO the next turn. Note, however, that this requires that you have set up with Ancient Power.
Alright, lets do this!Numel @ LeftoversAbility: SimpleNature: Impish/Adamant/SassyEVs: 36 Def/236 Atk/236 Sp.def-Stockpile-Howl-Flame Charge-EarthquakeThis thing is boss!Alright time to explain!The Nature is up to you. Bulk or pure power? The EVs are what Showdown! gave me and it works quite well. Stockpile makes it bulky af and after that, Howl works well with it. After this, you are unstoppable unless a Water-type comes in. One Flame Charge will make you sweep whether you like it or not.Here is a strategy I recommend:Take out all water types and send it in. Not much more to explain here.
Hope this set brings victory to many! :D
