From This Perspective: Notes on Malamar!
Jul 21, 2015, 10:47 AM
Malamar got 2nd place in the Italian VGC Nationals with this set (more or less, as the EV spread hasn't been revealed but the damage calcs may suggest this - from an Italian source)
Malamar @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 244 HP / 148 Atk / 116 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Superpower
- Knock Off
- Trick Room
- Protect
TR setter with Inner Focus M-Kang (pre-Mega ability) as its partner to force a Fake Out on any other opposing Fake Out user.
I've not run any damage calc in particular. I only know that it can take a Double-Edge from M-Kang thanks to the Sitrus Barry and KO it back with Superpower or setup Trick Room and KO it the following turn.
A +1 Knock Off has a 6,3% chance to OHKO a 252HP Aegislash and a 4 HP LO Thundurus (in particular, the chip damage from Fake Out or any other attack can help to get the OHKO)
