Build Notes

Solar Power boosts Special Attack by 50% in Sun at the cost of HP each turn. Under Ninetales' Drought, every Heat Wave delivers enormously amplified spread Fire damage. Heat Wave hits both opponents with Sun-boosted Solar Power STAB. Dark Pulse provides single-target Dark coverage. Flamethrower is the reliable single-target Fire alternative. Calibrated HP, Special Attack, and Speed EVs balance offensive output against survival. Solar Power's HP drain makes HP investment valuable for extending the sweep window. Modest with these EVs hits specific benchmarks while maintaining the KO capability Solar Power enables.
