The addition of U-turn on this set could actually be pretty cool, as it makes more sense than Sticky Web (especially for a defogger) and it allows you to get off guaranteed damage as you pivot out, unlike Baton Pass. Something like this sounds really cool for checking numerous Stealth Rockers, almost like Vibrava does.Bug/Water Typing

This is my take on a defensive masquerain set. This would be very viable because of its typing and ability. It could easily switch into things like piloswine, machoke, and poliwrath, and set up sticky web, defog, scald burn, or just heal itself back up. It would be a very reliable utilitymon that doesn't have to be a suicide lead at setting up sticky web. it is also immune to spikes and toxic spikes so that is always good. Baton pass is there if you dont need sticky web on your team and would rather have a pivot with defog
252+ Atk Piloswine Icicle Spear (5 hits) vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Masquerain on a critical hit: 140-165 (40.8 - 48.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO lol
252+ Atk Poliwrath Focus Punch vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Masquerain: 105-123 (30.6 - 35.8%) -- 45.4% chance to 3HKO
252+ Atk Machoke Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Masquerain: 94-111 (27.4 - 32.3%) -- 62% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
I will post theorymon sets of different routes like quiver dance soon soon
I agree and if that's too many changes then just let it keep Intimidate (helps more against Machoke, and some polis)The addition of U-turn on this set could actually be pretty cool, as it makes more sense than Sticky Web (especially for a defogger) and it allows you to get off guaranteed damage as you pivot out, unlike Baton Pass.

This set has typing changes, ability changes, and move changes, but it isn't really too much and they all make since. This one's credit goes more to simipour, but this one is very good pivot as well as defogger instead of setting up sticky web and is very good for the same typing and defensive reasons above.
Masquerain @ Life Orb/Leftovers/Lum BerryAlso leave feedback on this versus how the thread was run before, although don't post solely for that
1.Those are some drastic changes i stretched it with 3 but magic guard, hurricane and water type for stab hydro is a little extreme
Bug/Water

At first glance, the new Masquerain is pretty over because of its possible weakness to Stealth Rock and the presence of other Water-types, such as Poliwrath and Simipour. However, with access to Quiver Dance, Magic Guard, and high powered moves, it could stand out from the rest of the Water types. I gave it Hurricane because its more powerful than Air Slash.
FEEDBACK:
It's pretty nice.
Ahhhh okay my mistakeThey don't have to be all non QD, I just wanted to explore something other than the standard regular QD that seems pretty obvious (and bug/water is a significant change for that). TBH I think flying STAB does way more for it than the water STAB though, especially with magic guard taking out rocks weakness anyway
