thdhted 's post inspired me to try to find a good defensive pivot to use parting shot on, but Pangoro's movepool is so shit that it's practically impossible to find anything useable for it ;-;
This is the best I could make of Pangoro
Pangoro @ Pinsirite
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Return
- Earthquake
- Parting Shot
Mega Pinsir gains some decent bulk, which combined with its high base defense makes it much harder to revenge kill. Pinsir's sheer amount of damage and set up potential forces a lot of switches, so parting shot is a good move to use to gain momentum and gain hazard damage on your opponent.
You can do the exact same set with Gliscor using U-Turn over Parting Shot. I was just trying to make use of Pangoro ;-;
Parting shot does have some pros over U-Turn though, mainly that you don't rack up contact damage (from, say, a rock helm skarm), and you make it easier for your switchin to deal with the opponent's switch in (which forces another switch o.o). It also makes it easier on you if the opponent doesn't switch and instead you have to take an attack.
