Wilson Fisk (Stunfisk) @ Leftovers
Ability: Static
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Earthquake
- Discharge
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
So normally Chinchou can semi reliably beat Stunfisk by fishing for burns and resting off the damage from Earth Power. Here's some calcs to show it:
0 SpA Stunfisk Earth Power vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite Chinchou: 114-134 (32.2 - 37.8%) -- 93.2% chance to 3HKO
0 SpA Chinchou Scald vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Stunfisk: 110-132 (26 - 31.2%) -- 8.4% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
Earthquake changes this by giving Stunfisk a way of 2hkoing Chinchou. This has use outside of just Chinchou as well. Quake over Power lets you hit some other mons harder like Camerupt,Mr. Mime, and Grumpig.
0 Atk Stunfisk Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Eviolite Chinchou: 216-254 (61 - 71.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
0 Atk Stunfisk Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Solid Rock Camerupt: 153-181 (44.6 - 52.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 Atk Stunfisk Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mr. Mime: 109-130 (49.3 - 58.8%) -- 98.8% chance to 2HKO
Also Rebel you should probably update the title of the thread
is it a lure if it's, you know, standard? anyways, i was gonna go with some unviable physical electric sets like double-edge zebstrika, but i think i got something more cohesive and usable -
Standard Life Orb Simipour
Simipour @ Life Orb
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Knock Off
- Superpower
Similar to Slar Flar's Knock Off Kadabra last week, Knock Off Simipour baits in many eviolite mons such as Chinchou (and even SpDef Clefairy to an extent tbh) that expect to tank a Hydro Pump or Ice Beam, and knocks off the eviolite so that their defenses are weakened. Knock Off does minimum 35% damage, and can finish off Chinchou with Superpower which does 65% minimum. Do the math.
If standard isn't your thing, then maybe try..
AoA Life Orb Regice
Regice @ Life Orb
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Mild Nature
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
Normally Chinchou is a fantastic switch in to pretty much all BoltBeam users such as Regice, Rotom-F, Raichu w/ HP Ice, etc, but Regice gets EQ which actually 2HKOs Chinchou after rocks. As a result, Chinchou will not be able to wall this set.
4 Atk Life Orb Regice Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Eviolite Chinchou: 153-182 (43.2 - 51.4%) -- 98% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
Earthquake also allows you to hit steels like Probopass without potentially missing Focus Blast and can hit tankier SpDef Mons like AV Muk, so that's also a plus. although outside of hitting those mons, it's probably generally more useful to use the special attacks.
Vote for you favorite lure!Let's keep playing the 'slap eq on various mons' game
Tect this is your time
Politoed @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 40 HP / 252 SpA / 216 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Earthquake
See, nobody, and I mean nobody, expects Earthquake from Politoed. Hell, I had no clue that Poli even learned Eq when the based lord Tect told me. Chinchou is the perfect Politoed switchin 99% most of the time, but when this hits you...
0- Atk Politoed Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Eviolite Chinchou: 144-170 (40.6 - 48%) -- 62.1% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
No, you can't 2HKO right off the bat. Yes, you can force a Chinchou to take 20% without Resting.
If that isn't a lure, I have never known what a lure is.
(In case you were wondering about the set, 216 EVs hits 230 speed, enough for +speed nature Cacturne.)
