The very first stantler evs allow stantler to get 3hkoed by spdef menes brick break most of the time and live banded mence's brick break killing it back with a petya boosted HP Ice. It also lives gets 2hkoed by banded t-tar unless it has brick break. The attack is to 2hko banded t-tar and have a good chance to 2hko leftover t-tar along with dishing out lots of damage on jolteon. 68 speed lets it speed creep things that want to be faster then t-tar. CM and T-bolt breaks through vaporeon with relative ease.----------------------------------------The solar beam stantler is quite special. the 64Hp lets it live a Bonemerang from marowak and have a solid chance to KO it back with solar beam. However, if your running petya then you guarantee OHKO Marowak with solar beam at +1. Solar beam also breaks through swamper and vaporeon if you get a couple calm minds up. Skill swamp is a very interesting move that allows you wall vaporeon and jolteon by having their abilities. HP Dark is able to beat Gengar and potentially starmie with some luck(but this shouldn't be your go to answer to starmie at all).------------------------------ The last stantler on this list is a very interesting one revolving around salac and shadow ball. Shadow ball can 2hkoe gengar, starmie, and alakazam while endure lets you outspeed mons that would normally 2hkoe you like gengar. The 80 def lets you live a banded brick break from salamence and KO it in 2 Hp Ices. Earthquake is still there to beat mons like jolteon and t-tar.-----------Overall, Stantler gets over shadowed my other normal types but its coverage options can not be ignored. IT HAS FRICKING SOLAR BEAM. Its main competition in granbull and porygon2 out class it in many ways(Granbull being a better physical attacker with intimidate while Porygon2 has more sp att with lots of coverage)it still manages to carve out a nice little niche for itself. The spa att is why it can compete with Granbull and the speed is why it it can compete with porygon2.
