Moves Bulk Up is used to boost Skiddo's Attack and Defense. Horn Leech is Skiddo's main STAB move and provides Skiddo with reliable recovery. Rock Slide allows Skiddo to hit Flying-types for super effective damage, and Return is a great move for neutral coverage. Brick Break hits Steel-types, notably Pawniard, which can otherwise take any of Skiddo's other moves, super effectively. Bulldoze is a unique coverage move, hitting Fire-, Poison-, and Steel-types; however, be wary of Pawniard, which can gain an Attack boost via Defiant after its Speed is dropped by Bulldoze. Milk Drink is a great recovery move that can be used if Horn Leech doesn't suffice; it also allows Skiddo to recover health when Horn Leech would be ineffective. Set Details 180 Speed EVs allow Skiddo to reach 14 Speed, allowing Skiddo to outspeed the standard bulky Larvesta and OHKO it with a +1 Rock Slide. The Defense EVs hit an Eviolite number, and the Special Defense EVs allow SKiddo to avoid the 2HKO from physically defensive Chinchou's Ice Beam. The remaining EVs are put into Attack to boost Skiddo's damage output. A spread of 236 Atk / 52 Def / 220 SpD could be used to boost more easily, especially in tandem with Milk Drink. Usage Tips It's usually best to save Skiddo until Pokemon that resist Grass-type moves have been removed or weakened, as it can then recover health with Horn Leech. Skiddo can also set up on opposing walls, such as Spritzee, and can quickly heal off Moonblast damage with Horn Leech or Milk Drink. Skiddo can check physically defensive Chinchou, but an invested Ice Beam can 2HKO Skiddo, so switching in can be challenging. Also, Skiddo doesn't appreciate being burned. Team Options Chinchou can beat many of the Flying- and Fire-types that threaten Skiddo, and in return, Skiddo can take Grass- and Ground-type moves for Chinchou. Flying- and Fire-types can deal with Bug- and Grass-types that trouble Skiddo, and they appreciate Skiddo's ability to force out Chinchou. Ground-types such as Drilbur can deal with Poison-types such as Trubbish, which can otherwise set up on Skiddo, and appreciate Skiddo's capability to deal with Water-types. Although it is weak to Fire-type moves, Magnemite can handle Flying-types with ease and is immune to Poison-type attacks. Tentacool shares great synergy with Skiddo, as it can take Fire-, Bug-, and Poison-type attacks, while Skiddo can take the Ground-type attacks aimed at Tentacool. Rock-types also pair well with Skiddo, as they can handle Flying-types such as Fletchling, which can otherwise hit Skiddo with a super effective STAB move or proceed to boost.
