I just wished it got shitty defenses then it would be the perfect fodder Pokemon with Innards Out why is GameFreak ruining my plans ;-;
Look at this perfect set:
Pyukumuku @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Innards Out
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
IVs: 0 Def / 0 SpD
- Toxic / Scald
- Recover
- Scald / Protect
- Counter / Taunt
I know it looks like a really dumb set, but I think this works really well as a counter to setup sweepers. Rocky Helmet deals damage to anything that makes Physical Contact, and if Pyukumuku manages to faint Innards Out can deal tons of damage to sweepers since most has almost no investment in HP. The moveset would be Toxic, Recover, and Protect to stall if the opposing Pokemon can't manage to faint it or chooses not to or Scald as an alternative to burn steel and poison types, counter if Pyukumuku manages to survive a physical attack (tbh would have been better if it got Light Screen to avoid physical contact) or Taunt to prevent opposing Pokemon to use Toxic on it. Also, Recover is really useful because it makes sure Innards Out will deal damage equal to at least half of Pyukumuku's HP or stall Physical Attackers out with Rocky Helmet. Obviously it has max HP to get as much damage off using Innards Out as possible and despite its terrible speed, I gave it max speed with Hasty nature to be able to Taunt as many Pokemon as possible to prevent itself from being Taunted or Toxic poisoned itself, but Max SpA with Mild nature could be used instead to get max damage off of scald and 0 IVs on defenses because it needs to faint as much as possible. This can actually be useful in some situations like:
(Note that since Pyukumuku is used as a fodder Pokemon it is successful when it faints and OHKOs to it at full HP will deal 314 damage with Innards Out)
252 SpA Life Orb Thundurus-T Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Pyukumuku: 369-437 (117.5 - 139.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Thundurus has 299 HP
+2 252 Atk Aerilate Mega Pinsir Return vs. 252 HP / 0- Def Pyukumuku: 490-577 (156 - 183.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Pinsir has 271 HP
+1 252 Atk Tough Claws Mega Charizard X Outrage vs. 252 HP / 0- Def Pyukumuku: 379-447 (120.7 - 142.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Charizard has 297 HP
+1 252+ Atk Dragonite Outrage vs. 252 HP / 0- Def Probopass: 327-385 (104.1 - 122.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Dragonite has 323 HP. It will faint due to rocky helmet damage.
+2 44 Atk Scizor U-turn vs. 252 HP / 0- Def Probopass: 195-229 (62.1 - 72.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Does not kill, but Counter will do a shit ton of damage
These are only a few of the many possibilities Pyukumuku can switch into, but overall, I think that Pyukumuku has a special position in the meta where it's best function is a fodder or suicude mon, and I am really excited to use it competitively.
