Melmetal @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 52 Def / 160 SpD / 44 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Double Iron Bash
- Thunder Punch
- Superpower
- Protect
Melmetal bashes OU's walls! Melmetal's insane offensive potential and bulk allow it to tank strong hits like Tapu Lele's Psychic and Weavile's Knock Off and strike back even harder. Double Iron Bash is capable of breaking every Pokemon that does not resist it, bursting through defensive options like Tornadus-T and Tapu Fini. Thunder Punch hits Corviknight and Toxapex super effectively, making them shakier switch-ins. Superpower nails Ferrothorn, Heatran, Kartana, and opposing Melmetal. Protect allows Melmetal to scout Choice item users like Tapu Lele, Dragapult, and Kartana while also giving Melmetal more Leftovers recovery. 44 Speed EVs allow Melmetal to outpace Gastrodon and fish for flinches. The given bulk investment lets Melmetal survive two Choice Specs-boosted Shadow Balls from Dragapult and a +2 Low Kick from Weavile. Landorus-T is an excellent partner for Melmetal, as it can slowly pivot it in with U-turn and cripple Zapdos with Toxic. Strong wallbreakers like Tapu Lele and Dragapult pair well with Melmetal, as together they can break through bulkier Pokemon like Tapu Fini and Ferrothorn. In return, Tapu Lele pressures Toxapex and can chip Corviknight, while Dragapult threatens Slowbro and Urshifu-R.
