Anyone into competetive Pokemon battling? Let me tell you about Zangoose, alright? This thing
sweeps.
Nature: Jolly
Ability: (Hidden Ability) Toxic Boost
Item: Toxic Orb
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 Attack, and 4 HP.
Moveset: Quick Attack, Protect, Facade, Close Combat.
Why is this a monster? Well, Facade deals 140 in base power if the Pokemon has a status condition, which Zangoose will thanks to its Toxic Orb. That's it? Nope. Zangoose is further boosted 50% in Attack due to its ability, Toxic Boost. That's cool, but that's it, right? NOPE, Zangoose gets STAB, same-type attack bonus, when using Facade. That's another 50% boost in Attack. Not to mention Zangoose will reach 306 in Speed with this set. You will strike fast, and you will strike hard. Basicly, send out Zangoose, use Protect and get yourself poisoned at the end of the first turn and voil�: You're now ready to sweep anything that is not heavily invested in Defense or is not a ghost type. If you run into a Rock or Steel type, fear not. You've got Close Combat at your service. Seriously tho, give Zangoose a try! Such fun Poke to battle with.
