Common Threats

  • Talonflame- This bird is a strong fire type that can easily bring down Forretress to its Sturdy by using a Flare Blitz, then can use a priority Brave Bird to KO it before it's Custab Berry kicks in. If it is choiced, however, it can be an opportunity to set up a hazard and pick up a KO on the way out   Cool
  • Azumaril- Much like Talonflame, it can take down to the Sturdy and then finish it off with Aqua Jet, unless it's choiced. With some good predictions, you may be able to beat it out, but it's unlikely.
  • Heatran- Fire types, ugh. And it being a special attacker, it hits Forretress where it hurts. It's steel, so it resists rocks to make it neutral and resists explosion. If you see one of these, just don't bring it.  Dodgy




Summary
So I just like the was this little guy was built stat-wise, so I thought this would be fun. The way he works is you lead with him (in most situations), and set up as many entry hazards as possible. Even if they do take him down to his sturdy on turn 1, he still got something done at least. The goal is to get him below 1/4 of his health. One he does this, he can get off a priority Explosion, and go into the next Pokemon. If that next revenge killer is a counter and the opponent switches out, the next one they send in (given they are not flying/levitate, hand have all layers of spikes and toxic spikes set up, with a neutral hit on stealth rocks), they will be losing 37% upon entering, as well as being badly poisoned. In a singles situation where switching to gain a type advantage is key, forcing your opponent to stay in so they won't be crippling themselves harshly upon entering will give you the edge. This can be shut down hard by fire attacks, or many special atackers, but getting something set up is still not bad. Overall, I think this as a creative set and hope it gets some play  Smile

Credit to @Black117 for me stealing his format :D

Btw that's probably been the main format that I think Oreo and Jedi have used for some time now. You are welcome to use the format I have unless you want to do a complete write up of the Pokemon.

Anyways Forretress will always have a special place in my heart for being part of my Dog Rush Team way back in XY UU before Victini got bumped to BL. I forgot that Custap Berry is a thing now so it can get an Explosion off on a bulky wall like Florges, Swampert, or Suicune. At least its not a Normal Gem Explosion Kappa

RE: [Smogon] Forretress Moveset - Utility (Suicide Lead) - Marcusube - May 14, 2015

Not a bad build! The only issue is how you would answer to Intimidate leads which makes Explosion do little damage and Fake Out users that break your Focus Sash then possibly knocking out Forretress or removing its held item with Knock Off.
