Skuntank @ Black Sludge
Ability: Stench / Aftermath
EVs: 228 HP / 56 Atk / 224 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Hone Claws
- Crunch
- Poison Jab​

This set focuses on abusing some pokemon like Rotom, Decidueye and Froslass locked in a ghost move, Miltank, Corsola-Galar, Weezing and Eldegoss (although you have to be aware of status from the latters if you're directly switching in) and try to break the opposing team.
  • The HP investment is just enough to create 101 HP Substitutes letting it take Seismic Toss and Night Shade without breaking it, it also allows your Substitute to survive a Flamethrower from 0 SpA Weezing. 224 Spe to outspeed +Spe base 80 and remaining EVs on Attack to deal more damage.
  • Stench to have that cheesy 10% flinch chance that can be useful but you can go with Aftermath to wear down something killing it.
This set appreciates having a teammate to deal with the various Ground and Steel-types of the tier. If you're able to deal with its checks and setup a Substitute it can pose a real threat.
