Who's the best subpuncher overall?

1 minute read

If you don’t know subpunch is having a Pokemon learn both Substitute and Focus Punch.Then use the Substitute to block attacks so you can use Focus Punch freely. I’ve been using Electivire latley as a subpuncher but I was wondering who’s the best subpuncher?

It’s bulky enough to use both Swords Dance and Substitute.It has great attack already, plus it has Huge PowerIt’s UberLook at this Calc

+2 252+ Atk Huge Power Mega Mawile Focus Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Shuckle: 238-280 (97.5 - 114.7%) – 81.3% chance to OHKO

Shuckle can be destroyed by this.

Set:

Mawile @MawiliteTrait: Intimidate –> Huge PowerAdamant natureEVs: 252 Hp, 252 Atk, 4 SpD- Substitute- Swords Dance- Focus Punch- Sucker Punch

Sucker Punch is to hit Ghost types immune to Focus Punch

Hope I helped!

173 Pokemon can learn that move combo. I estimate 73 of them in fully evolved form.http://pokemondb.net/tools/moveset-search. This could get interesting.

It might be interesting to use a Reichu for this. It could double as a sweeper and has the very resilient Electric type. Add Volt Switch and Thunderbolt and you got a sweeper/subpuncher that can pass if a ground type (it’s only weakness) enters.
