Today's installment of TheCoastsOfToast tries to make relatively unused Pokémon fun:
Klinklang @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 136 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Shift Gear
- Gear Grind
- Wild Charge
- Facade
Technician + Life Orb + Gear Grind. What an amazing, amazing combo, especially after a Shift Gear boost. I originally was using Metal Coat so as not to deal with recoil from LO but this changed my mind:
+1 252+ Atk Metal Coat Technician Klinklang Gear Grind (2 hits) vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Magearna: 356-422 (98 - 116.2%) -- approx. 93.8% chance to OHKO
+1 252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Klinklang Gear Grind (2 hits) vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Magearna: 390-460 (107.4 - 126.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
The slim chance of not OHKOing without it convinced me enough, because I didn't when I needed to. Also, it can hit some nice resists pretty hard, like Volcarona.
+1 252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Klinklang Gear Grind (2 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Volcarona: 310-366 (99.6 - 117.6%) -- approx. 93.8% chance to OHKO
Also, hits hard enough to hurt Unaware mons like Chansey, Mew, and Mandibuzz.
It's a great sash-breaker, Mimikyu destroyer, and overall powerhouse. It's immune to Toxic, and I carry Facade just in case there's a Will-O-Wisper around. Wild Charge does a bit of damage to walls like Celesteela and Skarmory, as well as bulky Waters. It resists common ESpeeds, other than Galvanize, but is vulnerable to Mach Punch so like most sweepers it appreciates Psychic Terrain. It is badly walled by Heatran and Rotom-W (among others) so keep that in mind! I EVd it so that it has 500 speed after a Shift Gear, but you could give it more speed to beat Scarf Keldeo I suppose, even though you won't kill it and it will likely kill you with SS.
Here's a nice replay of it in action from today:
