Focus blast for those pesks like tyranitar, heatran, etc. I was ALMOST wanted to switch this to Earthquake, but I realized that it only really hit heatran hard here. Low kick was another choice, but under use I just got more KO's with Focus Blast.
DOUBLES NOTE: I just wanted to mention this, it's too early to tell if it's viable to make a team over or not. But I was playing some custom matches with friends and I was running a sun team with a mild nature and had rock slide, solarbeam, energy ball, and dragon pulse and KO'd my friends charizard Y with the rock slide, took out his salamence with the dragon pulse, and took out rotom w with the solar beam. Sunny day team mega sceptile with solar beam perhaps? Have to see how the meta goes first.
