Trapinch (M) @Life OrbTrait:Sheer ForceEVs: 236 HP / 196 Atk / 76 DefAdamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)- Bulldoze- Crunch- Rock Slide- Superpower/ Quick Attack

EVs & Nature are for bulk and sheer power.

Bulldoze over EQ for STAB move to avoid recoil. It is 8 base points less than EQ. If it gets to the point where I keep losing because the the foe is left with 1 HP, I will switch for EQ. Crunch for coverage at 128 base power. Rock Slide completes theEdgeQuakecombo at 120 base power. Superpower is coverage while Quick Attack is to finish the foe off.

Earthquake is STAB. Rock Slide is coverage and gets a Sheer Force boost. Crunch also gets a Sheer Force boost. First Impression is a strong priority move that can revenge kill weakened Pokemon and Pokemon weak to First Impression.
