Build Notes

Competitive raises Special Attack by two stages for each stat drop. Every Intimidate, Parting Shot, and Icy Wind that hits Empoleon grants a free +2 SpA boost. In a format where Incineroar is ubiquitous, Empoleon frequently reaches +2 SpA on turn one for free. Roar phuses opposing Pokémon away, disrupting Trick Room and removing setup sweepers regardless of stat accumulation. Water Pulse has a 20% confusion chance. Flash Cannon provides Steel STAB. Leftovers sustains. Maxed HP with Speed and SpA investment creates a durable self-boosting attacker that punishes the format's most common support tool.
