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
