What is the best elemental fang attack for Hippowdon?

I’ll be extremely straight,

As per how the OU goes, Hippowdown really doesn’t have the speed to take a sweep, nor does it have the best typing for a tank.They are mostly used as a wall and weather starter in that respect, and carry:

Stealth Rock

Whirlwind

Slack Off

Earthquake

Although if you were to take a more offensive initiative, you should go forIce Fang, as Ice is one of the best offensive typings in the game so far, and can hit many Pokemon for super-effective damage that would otherwise completely wall it (Eg.- Gliscor, Dragonite etc).

It doesn’t give the best coverage as per Hippowdon’s typing weaknesses, but most of it’s weaknesses arespecial attackers, and because of Hippowdon’s low speed and special defense stats, it will be knocked out by them anyways.

Hope I helped!

Hippowdon is weak toGrass / Ice / Water.

Grass -> Fire Fang/Ice FangIce -> Fire FangWater -> Thunder Fang

Go for Fire Fang because it covers from 2 weakness!

In Pokemon Diamond, Hippowdon learn the Elemental Fangs at- Level, meaning you needMove Reminderthat can be found atPastoria City (House northeast of the Poké Mart)and needs1 Heart Scale.

Hope this helps!
