Gigalith @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Rock Blast
- Earthquake
- Toxic / Protect
Gigalith whips up dust devils in SS PU! Immense special bulk under sandstorm enables it to serve as a reliable Stealth Rock setter and sturdy check to the many powerful special attackers in the tier, such as Charizard and Frosmoth, easily sponging even super effective coverage such as boosted Giga Drains from the latter and retaliating with Rock Blast. Earthquake has great neutral coverage alongside Rock Blast, hitting Lanturn and opposing Gigalith hard. Toxic alongside sandstorm applies passive damage to opposing Pokemon and puts them on a timer. Protect also helps Gigalith rack up more passive damage from sand, as well as scout Choice item users. Doublade is a good partner for Gigalith, as its immense physical bulk and good defensive typing enable it to check many of the Pokemon that threaten Gigalith, such as Silvally-Grass and Perrserker, and in return it appreciates Gigalith's ability to switch into Charizard. Sand Rush sweepers such as Sandslash and Lycanroc greatly enjoy the weather and entry hazard support that Gigalith brings to the field. In return, Sandslash can spin away hazards that can cut into Gigalith's bulk, as well as further apply passive damage through Spikes.
