    I'm working on breeding a Stunky, most likely for Little Cup or similar tiers, but I'm stuck on her moveset. Can anyone offer some suggestions on what nature and moveset would work best for a Stunky? uvu

    Thank you in advance!

    Just from looking at its movepool and abilities, here's what I can suggest for a Stunky set:

    Stunky @ Expert Belt/ Life Orb
    Ability: Stench
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
    Adamant Nature
    - Play Rough
    - Crunch
    - Shadow Claw
    - Sucker Punch

    Stunky's a bit of an odd choice, to be honest. His movepool is painfully limited, with most of the variation in his special attack stat, but that isn't useful given his special attack stat is pretty bad. I decided just to go for offense on this, because compared to his weak defenses, his attack is alright and his speed is a bit more alright. I put either life orb or expert belt because I personally prefer expert belt but if you enjoy the extra power but sacrifice of health from life orb then that works too. I'm not very experienced in the Little Cup tier, but if you're just looking for ideas or places to start then here one is!

    Yeah, I know there are probably better options out there but I already have a few more traditional teams and I wanted to build another team strictly using some of my favorite Pokémon, just for fun. c:

    Thank you for the suggestions!

    Ah, I can respect that. I was wondering why Stunky in particular haha. Working with uncommon 'mons can be pretty fun, if a bit challenging to work out the kinks in using them sometimes. That's how I fell in love with Jellicent and non-contrary Malamar. <3

    Yeah, I really love seeing teams that are less common! I was giddy about that Pachrisu winning the finals haha.

    Stunky has a very limited movepool. This one's the best I could come up with (I'm assuming this is for LC).

    Stunky @ Life Orb
    Ability: Stench / Aftermath
    Level: 5
    EVs: 12 HP / 252 Atk / 244 Spe
    Jolly Nature
    - Crunch
    - Play Rough
    - Iron Tail / Shadow Claw / Explosion
    - Hone Claws / Sucker Punch

    I prefer Iron Tail for more coverage. Hone Claws goes well with it to help prevent it from missing as well as increase your Attack. Shadow Claw is an okay alternative if you don't feel like setting up anymore. Sucker Punch for priority.

    Now if you want to use Aftermath as its ability, you can make Stunky into a suicide bomber kinda Pokémon. For this one, you're better off with Crunch / Play Rough / Explosion / Sucker Punch. Explosion can KO almost any Pokémon in LC. Ghost types which are immune to Explosion won't be able to switch in either because of Stunky has Crunch.
