Scolipede

[OVERVIEW]
* Scolipede carves itself a niche in the metagame thanks to its high base speed, diverse movepool and access to Speed Boost
* Difficult to revenge kill and can get pasts common defensive cores with Hydro Vortex and Sword Dance
*Thanks to Speed Boost and its Bug/Poison typing Scolipede is the premier Speed Boost passer in the tier.
* Can set up on common Defensive Pokemon such as Tapu Fini, Clefable or Tangrowth.
* Gets worn down easily between its Stealth Rock weakness and its medicore bulk.

Moves
========
* Megahorn is a staple on this set since it provides a powerful STAB move with acceptable accuracy.
* Poison Jab is a more reliable, albeit less powerful STAB attack which also hits Fairies for super effective damage.
* Aqua Tail can deal with some Fire and Ground Types like Landorus and Heratran who resist Megahorn.
* With Waterium Z Aqua Tail turns into a 175BP Hydro Vortex and flat out OHKOs most of the bulkier Bug/Posion resists at +1/+2.
* Sword Dance boosts Scolipedes attack, allowing it to smash trough common checks with Hydro Votex and nets notable OHKOs against bulkier threats

you need earthquake in this metagame since toxapex is broken as shit. also nice for hitting magearna, heatran, metagross,...poison jab isn't exactly needed since you naturally force out fini and poison jab targets are the last thing they send in. deslash life orb since it is bootycheeks.

im a scum so I know a lot about bp. make poison jab the first slash.
