Bagon (M) @ Life OrbTrait: Sheer ForceEVs: HP / Atk / SpdAdamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)- Dragon Claw- Rock Slide- Fire Fang- Dragon DanceLittle Cup Sheer force abuse,Dragon Clawdoesn’t get a sheer force boost, but it is physical STAB, keep in mind that it get’s the Life Orb boost, and it will still take Orb recoil.Rock Slidedoes get the Sheer Force boost, and takes no Life Orb damage, this is mainly for more type coverage, it is essentially filler.Fire Fangalso gets the dual boost from item and ability, as well as covering Steel types that resist the other attacks, it will also cover Ice types that try to take down Bagon.Dragon Danceboosts speed and attack, perfect for this guy. Life Orb, Sheer Force + D–Dance = LC Pwnage.Life Orbgives the moves a boost while not giving recoil damage on moves. Life Orb + Sheer Force give a 60% (x1.3 each) increase to Bagon’s Attacks, except Dragon Claw (which is only boosted by Life Orb, but still gets STAB), with very little consequence. EVs are to crank the sweeping ability, and Adamant nature increases attack.

Bagon (M) @ Life OrbTrait: Sheer ForceEVs: 76 Atk / 196 SAtk / 196 SpdMild Nature (+SAtk, -Def)

The EVs give Max SpAtk with high Speed.

This set fully abuses Sheer Force + Life Orb. For the first slot, it is +1 Atk either way. You choice is if you want for Speed to outspeed foes or more Accuracy to hit with Dragon Rush’s 75 Accuracy and Fire Blast’s 85 Accuracy. Dragon Rush is crazy STAB with 240 after all the calcs. Crunch is 128 BP* coverage. Fire Blast 192 BP and provides perfect neutral coverage with Dragon Rush.

You can replace Fire Blast with Fire Fang and just make it a full Physical attacker. If you choose that, use this EV spread:

EVs: 76 HP / 236 Atk / 196 Spd with a Jolly Nature.

Also, If you grow to hate Dragon Rush’s Accuracy, you can switch for Outrage or Dragon Claw. Since these attacks are not affected by Sheer Force, you will lose HP from Life Orb. To make him last longer, drop his HP IV to 0(Zero). Why?? Because then he will only lose 1 HP each turn, so he lasts 19 turns if not hit as opposed to 10 with 20+ HP.

If you do the above method, whatever EVs you took from HP, put into Defense.___

*BP = Base Power

Bagon (M) @ Life Orb

Role : Physical Sweeper

EVs : Speed and Attack

Trait : Sheer Force

Typical attack-only moves on Bagon…

Weakness(es) : Charm = Hopes shatter :(Strenght(s) : If you get it right, this thing can own LC + Total coverage…….

That’s it for now…..
