What Pokemon makes good use of belch?
Mabye a Pokemon with a decent leveled special attack stat such as toxicroak(okay special attack.) and can you tell me some Pokemon that make use of belch in type coverage ways? Thanks in advance.

Most of the Pokémon who can learn Belch are downright awful, mediocre at best, but some can make good of it.
Magmortar@ Sitrus BerryAbility: Vital SpiritEVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HPModest- Belch- Fire Blast- Thunderbolt- Hidden Power [Ice]
A base 120 power move coming off of Magmortar’s base 125 Sp. Attack is nothing to laugh about, especially for unexpecting Fairies and Grass Pokémon. Fire Blast is STAB, Thunderbolt is coverage and HP Ice hits Ground-types. Any Berry can be used, but Sitrus has use outside of Belch.
Victreebel@ Sitrus BerryAbility: ChlorophyllEVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HPModest/Timid Nature- Belch- Giga Drain- Hidden Power [Fire]/Weather Ball- Growth/Sleep Powder
This is for use in the Sun. Belch is a wicked STAB. Giga Drain for recovery. Either HP Fire or Weather Ball is usefull in the Sun, but remember that Weather Ball is more gimmicky. Growth is used for boosting Sp. Atttack, while Sleep Powder is to annoy. Any Berry can be used, but Sitrus has use outside of Belch.
Slowking@ Sitrus BerryAbility: RegeneratorEVs: 252 SpA / 252 HP / 4 SDef- Belch- Psyshock- Slack Off- Scald
This is meant to be a surprise set. Lure out any dangerous Grass- or Fairy-types, then hammer tham with Belch. Psyshock and Scald are STAB, and Slack Off is recovery. This is a gimmicky set, and it is not recommended that you use it unless you have to. Any Berry could work, but Sitrus has use outside of Belch.
That’s pretty much it. Honourable mentions are Weezing, Seviper and Garbador. Belch isn’t the best or most reliable STAB or coverage move, as it is gimmicky and disabled by the ever-present Knock Off.
Astronautical got basically all the good ones, but there are a few more luck-based ones that I think might work well:
Cacturne @ Salac BerryAbility: Water AbsorbTimid Nature252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP-Endure-Giga Drain-Belch-Focus BlastCacturne can’t take a hit. Period. So let’s try to make him fast enough to get off a single attack, I guess?
Cacturne @ Petaya BerryAbility: Water AbsorbModest Nature252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Spe-Substitute-Giga Drain-Focus Blast / Cotton Spore-BelchThis set is meant to be Baton Passed 2 or more speed boosts. You can either run coverage or run stat drops to force switches. Volbeat would make a very good teammate:
Volbeat @ Focus SashAbility: PranksterTimid Nature252 HP / 252 Spe / 4 Def-Encore-Tail Glow-Tailwind-Baton PassTail Glow already gets you up to an outright godly +3 Special Attack, so you can opt to run Salac Berry instead of Petaya for more Speed.
Heatmor suffers from the same problem as Cacturne: he’s not fast enough. Here’s a set to be used with the earlier Volbeat:
Heatmor @ Salac BerryAbility: Gluttony252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 HPModest Nature-Substitute-Heat Wave-Giga Drain-Belch
And last but not least…
