Let me know if this is Good for sandaconda! Im using leftovers to get some health if i do end up getting attacked and shed skin to take care of those status conditions. Sand Spit works just fine because if you get hit, a sandstorm happens which would be good because not only it could possibly hurt the opponent, it boost steel, ground, and rock types SpD. Im going to pick Careful Nature to try to patch up its terrible SpD, EVs being 252 HP so it live more attacks, And 252 Defense to make its defense unstoppable without Using a beneficial nature for it.
For the moves, i’m using Minimize, So your opponent can start constantly missing giving you free turns, Glare to get a chance of another free turn and so you could get a chance of being faster, but stealth rock is good since your opponents would get hurt everytime they entered battle making a good set up. In my opinion, Stealth rock should be picked. Coil because it boost attack, defense, and accuracy and with all those free turns from those minimizes, your probably max out your attack, defense, and accuracy. Finally we need a attacking move. Stone Edge Is good because if you used a Minimize/ Coil meta, Stone Edge Would hit like all the time and you would probably keep getting those critical shots. Body Press works very well too because of sandacondas high defense stat and because Body Press covers a lot of typings.
 
Similar to what I was thinking of. However, I'd use Earthquake rather than Stealth Rock. Hippowdon is still a superior hazard-layer, and access to a second attack move would be useful. Also, I'd switch Minimize to Rest, as it works well with Shed Skin for an easy recovery. I'd also put more into Sp. Def than Def, as it's already got some pretty decent Phys. bulk, but lacks in Special. Just my thoughts!
 
Hi, strategies are being worked on in the proper subforum for every tier, so that's the place to go if you want to work on something. Make sure to read the stickies + adhere to the proper formats though (and I don't think anything is up for reservation at this time?), I'll be closing this.
