evs: 36 def/ 200 SpA/ 240 spe
nature: Modest/ timid

Moves
========
Shell smash is self explanatory.

Hydro Pump is the STAB move of choice as it allows omanyte to nail pokemon such as ponyta and larvesta hard.

Earth power allows omanyte to break down bulky waters such as tentacool and the ever so common chinchou. Ancientpower can be used for stab and the occasional boost, and hitting pokemon like snover if you arent running hp fire.

Hidden power fire is used so that ferroseed is not a problem. Ice beam can hit murkrow and other grass types such as foongus although murkrow doesn't like a +2 hydro pump.

Set Details
========
A modest nature is used to maximize omanyte's firepower however a timid nature can be used to outspeed nearly all scarfers in the meta at +2.

Weak armor is the abiliity of choice as it allows omanyte a speed boost while taking little damage due to its high defense. If you do not like the defense drop then either shell armor or swift swim can be used.

The evs are used to maximize omanyte's bulk, special attack, and speed.

Life orb allows omanyte that extra oomph while eviolite allows omanyte neutral defenses after a shell smash. Berry juice can also be used to allow for more longevity, but this is usually inferior to the previously mentioned items.

this is very heavily a wip but i was wondering if i should add a utility set/spiker.

 

[Shaymin :D]

A utility set looks good, tbh. It has very decent bulk to make use of, and unlike other spikers, it is a Special Attacker. With Scald, it can burn stuff, which is very nice. It may not have the utility of Dweeble, but imo it can definitely work

re-order the moves like this. Hydro should KO Krow anyway. Fire vs, Ice Beam is basically Ferro vs. other grass types. Epower first slash otherwise Chou walls, and AP doesn't hit an awful lots that I can think of tbh. especially if you're running Ice beam

Hi Ranger Mike!

I noticed you still have this set as WIP and it has been idle for quite some time now. Just a friendly reminder that you need to wrap this up as soon as you can so we can move on with the C&C process for this analysis. If you're unable to finish this, let me know.

 

[Ranger Mike]

oh sorry :/ i dont know if i can really handle 2 analysises

 

[Rowan]

Don't mind taking this over if Ranger Mike doesn't want it anymore

 

[Ranger Mike]
