Discussion

Stakataka's role lies in being a Trick Room attacker/trap setter and tanking physical hits. It's 61 HP leaves much to be desired but it's 211 Defense is godly. Able to set Stealth Rock, double screens and Trick Room, Stakataka sounds like it will be a very common OU Wall. It lacks the ability to recover outside of Leftovers and Grassy Terrain however, so it may fall short of competing with Clefable for example in terms of survivablity. It's Rock Steel typing is disgusting, 4x weak to Ground (Landorus) and Fighting (Superpower Bulu), however. The other variant I put together is an Assault Vest Build and it's damage output is quite decent.

I'm so happy we have a pokemon with literally 13 speed knowing gyro ball.  That just sounds epic to use against the AI.  

Still debating on whether to get Ultra sun to get Buzzwole or Ultra moon to get Stakataka.

@FireTaco Luckily me and my brother are getting a version each (at Christmas, ugh the wait) so we can catch a Blacephalon and Stakataka each. Also it seems like the UBs in wormholes are infinite.
