Secondly, Iron Head really isn't a good move on Arcanine. Against all relevant fairies (being M-Gardevoir, Sylveon, Azumarill and Togekiss) Flare blitz does more damage (granted it does recoil damage, but that doesn't justify a waste moveslot).
Calcs to back this up:
When you take that move away, this build seems like a more physically defensive version of Eckley's disruptor build, but far less specific to the relevant threats in the VGC tier.
Sorry if it sounds a bit harsh, but there's already a much better build write up
No way, not harsh at all. I actually thank you for taking the time out to do that for me.
I will definitely take this in to account on future posts that I make. This is my first time. so any input is relevant and appreciated!
I'm glad I could help.
If you want to do calcs in the future, I would recommend using the nugget bridge calculator.
It's essentially the same as the smogon calculator if you're familiar with that, with Pokemon set to level 50 automatically and with far more pre-made sets.
Also, generally it is better to invest in to HP than to invest in to defence and special defence separately, unless you need to for a specific benchmark.
Thank you very much I will definitely use the calcs in the future. It all seemed a bit too much for me to handle. but I would like to post a proper set that gets approved someday. So thank you very much!
Also, that is true. I will take that into consideration for the next Arcanine I EV train.
