Set Description
=============
Technician-boosted Fake Out puts threats such as Garchomp, Keldeo, and bulkier Volcarona sets into guaranteed KO range for Giga Impact, which is Ambipom's strongest move. Return lets Ambipom beat stall Pokemon, such as Substitute + Protect Zapdos and some Substitute + Protect Suicune sets. Taunt helps in the matchup against Serperior, while Fire Punch gives Ambipom a better matchup against Ferrothorn and some Genesect sets. Endure gives it a better matchup against Custap Berry and Choice Scarf Porygon-Z, as well as dissuading Choice Band Snorlax from using Giga Impact.
EVs
=============
Ambipom must always use maximum Speed EVs to have the best possible odds against Raikou. It is also necessary to run maximum Attack EVs to maximize damage output.
Usage Tips
=============
Ambipom should almost always use Fake Out on the first turn. To play around foes with Custap Berry, Ambipom should always use Return over Giga Impact if both moves will KO a foe. By using Endure, Ambipom can survive an attack if a slower Pokemon like Manaphy, Porygon-Z, or Zapdos uses a Custap Berry. Endure can also be used every other turn against Choice Band Snorlax's Giga Impact and Slaking, preventing them from ever KOing Ambipom.
