So I have found a very... odd tactic, but one that has worked well for me so far.
Most people run screens Grimmsnarl, which is a really good set, but I took a different approach.
Grimmsnarl (M) @ Iron Ball
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Trick
- Spirit Break
- Darkest Lariat
Whenever you hear about trick sets, its always a scarf being traded onto a wall, this takes the exact opposite role. With Prankster Trick Iron Ball, you can trick the Iron Ball onto many big threats as a suicide move. It's a really good way to cripple threats like Lando-T, Dragapult, Dracovish, Hydreigon, ect. It can also stop Conk and Gliscor from setting up their status effects, but at the cost of statusing yourself. Thunder Wave is used to cripple threats further, or using it as the lead move against set-up sweepers like D-Dance Regular Gyarados, since Iron Balling something speeding up wont do too much, so Para will work better. Spirit Break and Darkest Lariat are just stab moves that do a ton of damage in combination with Max Attack. I run max HP because its 60 speed doesn't really justify running any speed stats, and the HP helps bulk a good amount of the moves you see around.
The biggest problem with this set is the obvious untrickable items (Z-Crystals, Mega Stones, ect) but can still cripple a huge threat against your team instantly, but idk it might suck and I just get lucky lol, but I thought I'd share the set to see what you guys think.
