Stantler set for adv

by Hungryfoodies

I feel that stantler is a VERY underappreciated mon. Its wide movepool and amazing coverage make it a threat if properly used. The evs are to most of the time get 3hkoed by spedf mence and live banded mence's brick break. Then the banded mence brick break will drop you in petya range and OHKO it back with HP ice. The attack evs are to 2hko banded t-tar with eq and dish out some damage to jolteon. 48 spdef is to always 2koed by a +1 hidden power from jolteon(The spedf probably doesn't need to be there). 68 speed lets it speed creep things that want to be faster then t-tar. The sub and confuse/ray combo can beat some metagross set with some luck. However, this combo is very unreliable and shouldn't be used very much. Skill swap lets it wall mons like vaporeon, jolteon, and sometimes even houndoom(Not reliably). Psych Up in combination with swagger can break through mons like blissey and registeel. Thunderbolt in combination with cm lets you break through vaporeon and thunder should be used if you are not using cm because it has a solid chance to Ohko gyrados. HP Ice lets you beat quad weakness dragons like salamence and flygon. Solar beam(Lol) lets you beat swampert but I would recommend much more spatt investment to do so. HP Fighting is used to beat t-tar but it should you should be cautious to run it because you get wallled by other mons. Overall, Stantler has an impressive array of moves and can be a threat in the right hands.
