I would use this:
Toucannon @ Expert BeltAbility: Skill LinkEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 SpDJolly Nature- Beak Blast (STAB)- Rock Blast (Ice coverage and good with Skill Link)- Bullet Seed (Rock coverage and good with Skill link)- Roost / Feather Dance / Boomburst (STAB)
Physical Toucannon
Toucannon @ Expert BeltAbility: Skill LinkEVs: 144 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Def / 56 SpDAdamant Nature- Beak Blast- Bullet Seed- Rock Smash- Knock Off
Beak Blast has good accuracy + good Base Power + STAB, it does have to “charge” to be used but Toucannon is already moving last with his very low Base Speed so no worries (that’s why I invested some general bulk in my set). Bullet Seed makes use of his Skill Link Ability and deals with some of his menaces. Rock Smash is a Fighting move and Fighting Moves cover a good chunk of types. Knock Off will almost always deal 1.5x damage and deals with Psychic and Dark types.
It’s another one off my “all-rounder” sets, covers his weaknesses and a little more, very offensive, nothing really special about it.
Gen 7 ZUToucannon @ Life OrbAbility: Keen EyeEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Brave Bird- Return / Brick Break- Flame Charge- Swords Dance
Brave Bird is strong STAB. You can run Return for a nuetral STAB move, or Brick Break to deal with rock, steel, and ice types. Flame Charge does damage and boosts your speed. Swords Dance boosts your attack.
Special Toucannon
Toucannon @ Choice SpecsAbility: Sheer ForceEVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 SpDModest Nature- Boomburst- Overheat- Flash Cannon- U-turn / Hidden Power [Grass]
Even though its Special Attack is low in comparison to its physical attack, it can still be an effective Specs attacker with these moves.Boomburst- STAB + 140 BP + Specs is going to be dealing major damage.Overheat- Very strong Fire type move that can punish Ice and Steel switch ins.Flash Cannon- Takes advantage of the boost by Sheer Force, punishes Rock switch ins.U-Turn/Hidden Power [Grass]- U-Turn for momentum/scouting, Hidden Power [Grass] for Ground and Water types.
I’d normally go with this set:
Toucannon @ LeftoversAbility: Skill LinkEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Flame Charge (to speed it up it is quite slow even with jolly max speed)- Rock Blast (good coverage and hits 5 times due to skill link so good power)- Bullet Seed (same as Rock Blast)- Beak Blast (STAB and potential burns) or Gunk Shot (coverage) or Drill Peck (STAB)
Toucannon @ Focus SashAbility: Skill LinkEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeAdamant / Jolly Nature- Fly- Flame Charge-Rock Blast- Bullet Seed
Focus Sash won’t let you die. First use Flame Charge to gain Speed, with Rock Blast with Skill Link to cover Ice types, or Bullet Seed for Rock types.
Can we have a Keen Eye moveset, please?
Toucannon @ Flyinium ZAbility: Keen EyeEVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 DefAdamant Nature- Brick Break- Beak Blast- Roost- Rock Slide / Steel Wing / U-Turn
Rock Slide / Steel Wing / U-Turn for power/coverage/switching out (respectively).
No Speed EVs just to beat Avalanche users (who I have never come across)
This moveset sweeps some teams so I hope you like it.
Toucannon @ Firium ZAbility: Skill LinkEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 SpDJolly Nature- Beak Blast- Rock Blast- Bullet Seed- Flame Charge (Raises Speed which is good for Toucannon, because it’s slow and also will be a way to counter Steel types)
