Has anyone had any experimence with Quick claw Ferrothorn? I run this and it works pretty good :)
Ferrothorn @ Quick Claw
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip
- Knock Off
- Stealth Rock
Players often except twave/leech seed and switch in Espeon/Alakazam, only to be OHKOd by Gyro Ball. I guess this is the case for all offensive Ferrothorns, but the fact still stands. I'm open for suggestions or if this gimmick is completely out of the window, but I've used it to success just because players except other things from Ferrothorn.

Of course, these replays are handpicked and I do sometimes wish that I would pack Choice Band/Lefties/Rocky helmet on my Ferro. After all, Quick claw doesn't do anything 80% of the time. Quick claw also accidently activates early sometimes, removing the surprise factor. (Quick claw says it activates, the other poke switches out and Ferro attacks the switch-in)
I've tried Curse Ferrothorn before, but I didn't really like it. Offensive Ferrothorn, though, is something that I've fallen in love with <3
Btw: I'm not the greatest gamer in history, so please don't overanalyse my replays. Thank you. <3
