Physical Attacker (Life Orb)


Kecleon @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Knock Off / Return
- Drain Punch / Power-up Punch
- Sucker Punch
- Shadow Sneak

This set is here to kick some butt with the life orb, able to deal masssive amounts of damage, while also strikeing fast with moves like Sucker Punch and Shadow Sneak. Drain Punch can do some massive damage on pokemon such as Mega Kang, and heal, or your could less damage but get an Attack Boost with Power-up Punch. Finally Knock Off can deal a good amount of damage while removing your opponents item, or your could go the straight damage route with Return. The 124 Speed EVs allows Kecleon to outspeed foes (Depend on if the nature is Helping or Neutral) such as Mega Kang, Mega Char and (Will outspeed most of the time) Rotom, Miltoic, Bisharp.

Damage Calculations:

Offensive:

Every move used has STAB boost due to his ability:

• 252+ Atk Life Orb Kecleon Drain Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Kangaskhan: 143-172 (79 - 95%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
  
• 252+ Atk Life Orb Protean Kecleon Return vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Thundurus: 130-153 (83.8 - 98.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Sitrus Berry recovery
  
• 252+ Atk Life Orb Protean Kecleon Return vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Landorus: 107-126 (64.8 - 76.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
  
• 252+ Atk Life Orb Protean Kecleon Return vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Talonflame: 129-152 (83.7 - 98.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
  
• 252+ Atk Life Orb Protean Kecleon Return vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Sylveon: 138-164 (68.6 - 81.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
  

Defensive:

The thing about kecleon that is great is that you can change his type to keep him from taking a more damage, although i will still post moves that can do alot either way:

• 252 Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Double-Edge vs. 132 HP / 0 Def Kecleon: 200-236 (131.5 - 155.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
  
• 252+ SpA Choice Specs Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 132 HP / 0 SpD Kecleon: 94-112 (61.8 - 73.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
  
• 252+ Atk Life Orb Bisharp Iron Head vs. 132 HP / 0 Def Kecleon: 126-149 (82.8 - 98%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
  
• 252 Atk Terrakion Close Combat vs. 132 HP / 0 Def Kecleon: 272-324 (178.9 - 213.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
  
• 252 Atk Mega Tyranitar Crunch vs. 132 HP / 0 Def Kecleon: 109-129 (71.7 - 84.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after sandstorm damage
  

Mind you that these defensive calculations were taken when Kecleon was a Normal type and Kecleon will take alot more damage if for example he used Shadow Sneak and then Tyranitar used Crunch, keep this in mind while battling and try to predict and suck your type accordingly
