Build Notes
Close Combat provides Fighting STAB. Covering Steel and Dark types that threaten Kangaskhan and Archaludon. Passho Berry absorbs one Water hit. Essential on a Rain team where opposing Pokémon frequently run Water moves. Throat Chop blocks sound moves for two turns. Impish maxed HP and Defense creates strong physical bulk. Intimidate lowers opposing Attack on entry. Parting Shot cycles Intimidate. Fake Out flinches leads. The Close Combat is the key distinction. It handles types the team otherwise lacks coverage against, while Passho Berry makes Rain's Water-type vulnerability manageable for this pivotal support slot.
