Analysis

Stockpile is probably the best and most effective set Gulpin can run. With access to Pain Split, Gulpin can heal itself and weaken its opponent at the same time. Encore can be useful for locking Pokemon such as Croagunk into set-up moves and then forcing them to switch out. Ice Beam is for hitting Flying-types for some nice damage. On the other hand, Sludge Bomb is Gulpin's strongest attack if the foe isn't weak to Ice Beam, also gaining STAB. Liquid Ooze stops foes from using Leech Seed or Drain Punch, allowing Gulpin to last longer and deal damage indirectly. Eviolite paired with Stockpile and Pain Split provides a combo that can prolong Gulpin's longevity. If you decide to use this set in a Trick Room team, use a Quiet nature and 0 Speed IVs.

Analysis

This is the best set that Gulpin can muster from its terrible movepool. Sludge Bomb is a decently powerful STAB move, and should be used despite its terrible coverage. Ice Beam can catch unsuspecting Ground-types such as Gligar on the switch in. Shadow Ball hits Gastly and other Ghost-types for super effective damage, but it leaves Gulpin walled by Steel-types. Hidden Power Ground can be used to alleviate this, but Gulpin loses an entire point of Special Attack due to the IV drop. Pain Split, while mediocre, is Gulpin's only form of recovery aside from Rest and can help Gulpin stay alive longer with its decent bulk. The EVs maximize Gulpin's mediocre Special Attack before adding to its bulk. Oran Berry is used to give Gulpin more survivability, but Life Orb is an option to boost Gulpin's power. If Hidden Power Ground is used, Gulpin should use an EV spread of 196 HP / 12 Def / 176 SpA / 16 SpD / 36 Spe. For teammates, Snover is a fantastic partner for Gulpin, as it is able to eliminate the pesky Gligar while Gulpin resists the Fighting- , Bug-, and Poison-type attacks that Snover hates. Every sweeper appreciates entry hazards, but they are almost a necessity for Gulpin because it is weak even with maximum Special Attack. Chimchar is a good choice, as it is able to not only set up Stealth Rock reliably as a lead but also hit Steel-types super effectively. Magnemite can remove Steel-types with Magnet Pull if Gulpin is not using Hidden Power Ground. Unfortunately, both share a common Ground-type weakness with Gulpin.
