Here are a few Underrated STABmons sets for people to use
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 244 Def / 12 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Recover
- Glare
Clefable usage has been pretty low in stab for quite some time (5.26% usage in omwc). When clef is used, it is usually for Rapid Spin or as an Unaware wall. I recently wanted to experiment with cm clef to see why people never use it. As it turns out, this mon is still an insanely good win condition that devastates a lot of balance builds.

Polteageist-Antique @ Focus Sash
Ability: Weak Armor
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moongeist Beam
- Stored Power
- Destiny Bond
- Shell Smash
Polteageist is a cool pick on ho builds atm. It matches up really well vs offensive builds that rely on set up and lack priority. This mon can struggle vs dark types such as ttar, but it is a fun pick nonetheless.

Crawdaunt @ Life Orb
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Surging Strikes
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
Crawdaunt is a solid mon at the moment due to how effectively it can break sand builds, and serve as a revenge killer vs some offensive builds. Water/Dark is a pretty spammable typing, and sucker punch is really strong immediate priority. Crawdaunt benefits a lot in a meta with no helmet chomp and tapu bulu.

Inteleon @ Life Orb
Ability: Sniper
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Surging Strikes
- Swords Dance
- Icicle Spear / Ice Shard
- U-turn
Inteleon is a really funny mon with a lot of drip. Inteleon has a great speed tier, and Sniper with SD + Surging Strikes is deceptively strong considering Inteleon's low attack stat.
252 Atk Life Orb Sniper Inteleon Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew on a critical hit: 270-321 (79.1 - 94.1%) -- approx. 2HKO
252 Atk Life Orb Sniper Inteleon Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Grimmsnarl on a critical hit: 393-474 (99.7 - 120.3%) -- approx. 93.8% chance to OHKO
This mon is really fun if you do not load into a dedicated counter such as Slowbro, Ferrothorn, or Seismitoad. This mon matches up well vs offensive teams and leads pretty safely vs screen builds. I have one replay that showcases Inteleon, but I can't share it for privacy reasons.
