Shell Smash Torkoal Sweep

Описание: Strat: Torkoal's lackluster attack and dismal speed makes it an unlikely sweeper, but its decent bulk and access to Shell Smash makes it possible. The key is to set up at least 2 Shell Smashes first. This allows Torkoal to outspeed max-130 base speed Pokemon, along with getting a formidable attack boost.

To set up, Espeon opens with Light Screen or Reflect (preferably Light Screen), and then uses Yawn before getting KOed. The opponent then has the option of attacking and falling asleep or switching; either case allows Torkoal to use Shell Smash twice while (hopefully) tanking one hit. Dynamaxing in Anything Goes is useful for resetting Sun with Max Flare, restoring Special Defense with Max Quake, or using Max Overgrowth (Solar Beam) without Sunlight.
