You guys are all familiar with SubSalac Garchomp, right? You set up a sub since you're decently bulky n shit (plus nothing that doesn't resist it wants to take a Chomp eq
I don't play OU so the hell do I know), get a few SDs up, then once you get to the sub that triggers the Salac Berry, the only thing stopping chomp is the 'X' button (or skarmory w/e). Well, this set will do ig. Execution is pretty simple: get a substitute up against Alomomola (which can't OHKO your sub if it's Scald / Toxic) or forced switches (which is pretty easy for Hitmonlee to do tbh), set up your possible amount of BU's (usually 2 or 3 at most). By then, Hitmonlee is pretty threatening, since it has a boost to its already great Attack Stat and its meager Defense stat is getting patched up making it harder to revenge kill with neutral priority. The fun begins once you eat your Sitrus Berry. NOW Imagine a +2 Atk / Def Hitmonlee with 546 speed. Yeah. Pretty cool late game cleaner, imo. Now I know what you're saying: 'boohoo you get cockblocked by Fairies and Fletchinder', 'boohoo liechi endure actually works'. Maybe you're right, but screw that I just need to get this out of the way.

Ik these battles aren't the greatest, but they're the best I've got after 30~ ladder battles; cut me some slack, guys D:
