Yall are complaining about Fraxure and Gogoat and the Machoke so I decided to bring up this guy again:
View attachment 33333
Grotle @ Eviolite
Ability: Shell Armor
252 HP / 200 Def / 52 SpD
Impish nature
Moves:
-Stockpile/Curse
-Earthquake / Seed bomb
-Synthesis
-Stealth Rock /Protect
This guy checks all of the above bar guts Machoke, Curse let's you get bulky af, Earthquake and seed bomb are your attacks, Synthesis heals, protect stalls
+1 252+ Atk Mold Breaker Fraxure Outrage vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Eviolite Grotle: 160-190 (45.1 - 53.6%) -- 39.8% chance to 2HKO
Poison Jab does a little less than this and you can still start setting up Curse and what not, Fraxure without a boost is a 3hko, Grotle is super underrated but it's bulk is impressive
252+ Atk Machoke Dynamic Punch vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Eviolite Grotle: 84-100 (23.7 - 28.2%) -- 92.7% chance to 4HKO
After knock off:
252+ Atk Machoke Dynamic Punch vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Grotle: 127-150 (35.8 - 42.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Machoke is a can't even come close to a 2HKO, while you can recover and Curse more
Grotle basically walls tf out of Gogoat, Horn Leech does a miserable 21% at +2
Grotle is a solid check to the 3 most threatening Pokemon in the meta and can fulfill multiple roles, and although I'm pretty sure Quilladin can do this somewhat better
Edit:
+1 252+ Atk Mold Breaker Fraxure Outrage vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Quilladin: 150-177 (46 - 54.2%) -- 49.2% chance to 2HKO
Quilladin doesn't have as much HP so nominating Grotle for C/B- rank
