That being said, I personally favor Earth Power over Stockpile in basically every format. It's pretty bulky on its own, and I just never really run into an opportunity where I think, "Gee, if only I had Stockpile!" Great write ups, great replays, great calcs...great analysis in general.
Thank you for your feedback! I will admit that this build was pretty tough to decide on (I mean I had a ton of alternative options to consider), and as I said in the post, Gastrodon certainly has some room to adapt depending on the team it's on, and my team at the time didn't require much Ground-type support. I personally found success using Stockpile, but I can understand why you would shy away from moves and strategies that require setting up in VGC. It's all up to the trainer really! :D And thanks to whoever deemed this thread worth of the Competitive Builds section. I'll definitely share some more builds in the future after the positive feedback on this one.
