Muk spelled backward is Kum LOLOLOLOLOLOL
The champ
[Overview]
- Poison-type lol
- Decent Attack, HP, and Special Defense
- good coverage
- Absorbs Toxic Spikes
- can't take too many hits due to terrible typing with little common resistances, but does have some nice resistances to Grass, Fighting, and Poison.
- Slow as balls
- It's really gross
[SET]
name: Choice Band
move 1: Gunk Shot
move 2: Brick Break
move 3: Ice Punch
move 4: Shadow Sneak / Payback
item: Choice Band
ability: Poison Touch
nature: Adamant
evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
- Power immediately without having to set up.
- Cum Shot hits like a truck with a choice band
- Brick Break is for coverage
- Ice Punch hits Torterra and Altaria
- Shadow Sneak gives you some form of priority, which is good because Muk is unfathomably slow.
- Payback is viable because Muk is slow and will always go second.
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- EV spread maxes out Attack and gives Muk some bulk. no point for speed, since Muk is slow as hell.
- Sticky Hold is nice because it stops trick.
- can have 52 Spe to outspeed min speed Torterra
- Any Elemental Punch can be viable in the spot where Ice Punch is, but Ice Punch offers the best coverage
- Poison Jab can be used over Gunk Shot for accuracy, but there is a huge drop of power, which is the only reason to use CB in the first place.
- has problems with bulky ghosts with WoW, so teammates that can help with that are nice.
- Teammates that have problems with walls like Ammonguss and Altaria are nice, since Muk is good at eliminating them.
- Something to deal with Golurk and other EQers (Alomomola, Flyers, Tangela)
- Pursuit users (Skuntank)
- Spikes are nice (Cacturne and Omanyte)
- Torterra works well with CB Muk, either Rocks or RP
[SET]
name: Curse
move 1: Curse
move 2: Poison Jab
move 3: Brick Break
move 4: Shadow Sneak / Rest
item: Leftovers / Chesto Berry
ability: Sticky Hold
nature: Careful
evs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
- Slight attempt to sweep
- Low Speed + Curse is ok
- Poison Jab is STAB
- Brick Break is coverage, decent with Poison
- Shadow Sneak is for priority
- Rest removes Burns and gives you a better chance against WoW / Scald users
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- Gunk Shot for more power but low accuracy and PP
- Ice Punch?
- Pain Split for recovery
- ChestoRest
- EVs for max special bulk
- Sticky Hold is cool on a curser
- Phasers suck, have teammates that remove them.
- Deal with Golurk (Alomomola Tangela Flyers)
- Ghost / Psychic types are a threat, good teammates for this are Absol or Skuntank.
[SET]
name: Sub Punch
move 1: Substitute
move 2: Focus Punch
move 3: Poison Jab / Gunk Shot
move 4: Ice Punch / Shadow Sneak
item: Leftovers
ability: Sticky Hold
nature: Adamant
evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
- Can make 101 HP Substitutes
- Sub + Focus Punch = Strength
- Poison Jab is reliable STAB
- Gunk Shot gives you two unreliable yet powerful attacks
- Ice Punch is coverage, while Shadow Sneak is for weak priority
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- EV spread is for substitutes
- still slow as hell, so if it's burned before it sets up a substitute, it's useless
- bulky ghosts suck for this reason (drifblim and missy)
- Steel-types that break Muk's subs destroy it since Muk has no reliable Fighting-type attack
- Without Brick Break, Rock types become more annoying as well unless Muk has a sub up.
[Other Options]
- Elemental Punches
- Weather inducer with Memento?
- Pain Split
- Haze
- Not much else.
[Checks and Counters]
- Misdreavus / Drifblim
- Phasers
- Golurk
- Alomomola can handle ones without Rest
- Weezing
- A strong Earthquake (Sawk)
- Strong Psychic-type attacks (Gardevoir, though it doesn't want to switch in)
- If not too many curses, strong Ground-type attacks
- Golem can check it fairly well if not too many curses.
