Rabauz Movesets & Wettbewerbs-Sets

Since Tyrogue has both Fake Out and Guts, it can potentially pull off a decent sweep with this set. Fake Out should be used first in order to flinch the opposing Pokemon and safely activate Guts via Toxic Orb. Bullet Punch gives Tyrogue a nice priority attack with great neutral coverage, hitting many threats for solid damage. High Jump Kick is Tyrogue's strongest STAB attack. The last move comes down to preference. Rock Slide is the preferred attack as it will do the most damage to Ghost-types, who are immune to both Fake Out and High Jump Kick. However, Facade hits all other Pokemon who resist High Jump Kick harder than Rock Slide in most cases. The EVs and an Adamant nature give Tyrogue maximum Attack and Speed, allowing it to outspeed a few Pokemon while increasing its damage output. The best teammates that can help Tyrogue sweep are Pokemon who can remove physical walls, especially bulky Ground-types such as Hippopotas and Gligar. Snover is the best teammate for this reason, as it can easily use Blizzard to dispose of the ones who don't switch out. Unfortunately, Snover's hail will cause Tyrogue to lose extra health per turn. Staryu can beat both Hippopotas and Gligar with a Water-type STAB move. Pursuit users, such as Munchlax and Stunky, are also good teammates, as a Pursuited Ghost-type means Tyrogue will no longer have to worry about losing health from an evaded High Jump Kick.

This is the best set that Tyrogue can run. With absolute minimum Speed investment and a hindering nature, Tyrogue hits 8 Speed, which allows it to outspeed many Pokemon under Trick Room, including Bronzor with 12 Speed EVs and a neutral nature. Although Tyrogue has low Attack, it is made usable with Guts and the powerful STAB High Jump Kick, which is a powerful STAB attack. Facade makes good use of Toxic Orb by hitting many Pokemon for neutral damage off of 140 Base Power. Rock Slide hits Flying-types that resist High Jump Kick, and finally, Bullet Punch gives Tyrogue priority, which is always good. Toxic Orb is preferred over Flame Orb because it costs Tyrogue less HP over two turns than Flame Orb, and Tyrogue generally won't be in longer than two turns anyways. The EVs maximize HP and Attack, giving Tyrogue as much power and bulk as possible. The best teammates for this set are Trick Room supporters. Bronzor, Duskull, and Slowpoke all have good defenses and can set up Trick Room with ease. Other good partners for Tyrogue are ones that can remove Gligar, a dangerous counter to Tyrogue, from the field. Bronzor once again receives a mention as it is immune to Earthquake, resists Stone Edge, and can easily OHKO Gligar with Hidden Power Ice. Bulky Waters like Mantyke also fare well against Gligar, and can easily OHKO it with their STAB attacks. Brick Break is a possible option over High Jump Kick, as it has higher accuracy, no potential recoil, and can break screens set up by the opponent. However, it is significantly less powerful than High Jump Kick.
