"Drungeon Killer" Wrenchimp
Wrenchimp@ leftovers/Salac Berry
Ability: Trace
EVs: N/A
Adamant Nature
- Encore
- Power-Up Punch
- Slack Off
- Iron Head
This set is designed to trap and eliminate Drungeon carrying Arena Trap as their ability, which can be a pain as it stalls you out with Toxic, sets up hazards, and/or Sandstorm, in combination with its high defenses. After Drungeon makes a KO of whatever it trapped, switch this Wrenchimp in and go to work. Trace will copy Drungeon's Arena Trap, locking the stony Dragon in play, and forcing it to attack you. If its last-used move was a hazard like Stealth Rock or especially Toxic, uses Encore to force them to repeat that move, as you are immune to its poisoning effects by virtue of your Steel typing. From there, use Power-Up Punch to progressively boost your Attack while dealing SE damage. Once you are sufficiently boosted, feel free to finish it off with Iron Head and proceed to sweep. Slack Off is viable on this set because Wrenchimp resists or is immune to just about every move Drungeon commonly packs with the exception of Earthquake, but it lacks the power to threaten a 2HKO even with 2 EQs, so you can safely stall it out by alternating between Power-Up Punch and Slack Off.
Finally, for your item choice, Leftovers provide steady recovery against lingering effects like Sand Tomb that Drungeon may carry and is the more reliable choice. However, a more daring choice is Salac Berry, which could activate after taking a resisted hit and an Earthquake, boosting your Speed and enabling a more plausible sweep.
