Scarf Sawsbuck as a check
Sawsbuck @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Baton Pass
- Horn Leech / Seed Bomb
- Jump Kick
- Double-Edge
Sawsbuck outspeeds all variants of RP Relicanth (even Jolly 252 Spe) at 475 Speed, and can OHKO with its Grass STAB despite Relicanth's immense physical bulk. However, there is a small chance that Relicanth survives, so you need either 1 layer of hazards or some prior damage on Relicanth to ensure the OHKO. I slashed Seed Bomb as an option because it does slightly more damage than Horn Leech, and that small difference is sometimes important in this specific encounter.
252 Atk Sawsbuck Horn Leech vs. 104 HP / 4 Def Relicanth: 328-388 (89.3 - 105.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock (31.3% chance to OHKO without Rocks)
252 Atk Sawsbuck Seed Bomb vs. 104 HP / 4 Def Relicanth: 348-412 (94.8 - 112.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock (68.8% chance to OHKO without Rocks)
