Relicanth @ Choice BandAbility: Rock HeadNature: AdamantEVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SpD- Head Smash- Aqua Tail / Waterfall- Earthquake- Zen Headbutt / Double Edge

Head Smash is STAB and backed up by a solid attack stat.Aqua Tail is my personal preference, and it does more damage overall but you can use whichever one you want.Earthquake is pretty much here for Steel types.Zen Headbutt hits Fighting types like Poliwrath, who pretty much walls the set.Double Edge is here for neutral coverage, and can be used when you’re not sure what will come in because of the pretty good neutral coverage.
