Dubwool @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Fluffy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Cotton Guard
- Body Press
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Dubwool is a ridiculous physical wall, among the copious amounts of physical sweepers/attackers in the game right now he is definitely a staple. My moveset is relatively simple, set up cotton guard turn 1 and you will be a nearly invincible wall to any physical threats they may have. A major problem with this build is its weakness to things like Mimikyu and Cinderace. Although both of these are pretty popular, the rest of your team should be able to make up the difference. Cinderace's Pyro Ball is very problematic as it does not make contact and is a fire-type move, which heavily counters Dubwool's ability Fluffy. Mimikyu's main issue is its ghost typing, however the rocky helmet is able to deal with play rough, and you can stall out shadow sneak with rest. Due to the ridiculously slow nature of the build as a whole, rest is very important. You essentially give up 2 turns to gain ~1000Def, though at that point you may be at 50% or less HP. Rest will also remedy things like TOX or BRN which is very important for this pokemon. Body press, for obvious reasons, is one of the most important parts of this build. With the absurd amount of defense this pokemon gets, body press is able to OHKO nearly any pokemon that isn't a ghost type or heavily resistant to physical fighting type moves. Pokemon like Darmanitan, Conkeldurr, Machamp, and even Gyarados are powerless to this moveset.
If you have any suggestions or questions I would love to hear them! I've been loving this game so far and dubwool is one of my favorite pokemon. Might not be great in doubles but in singles he's definitely a monster.
