R8 my Torkoal PU Torkoal @ Focus Sash Timid White Smoke HP 4

Shell armor....?

Replace sash with something useful like white herb or life orb.

I know this is weird but I'm thinking on using a Shell Smash attacker Torkoal. White Smoke is literally Clear Body with another name.

I think it's very Torcool.

Its not weird really, thats a smogon set with the exceptions of a useless sash and rock slide

>shell smash torkoal
yes it is weird and bad

>>26174256
I agree with you that its bad

>>26173142
Replace Rock Slide with HP Grass and you're covered.

>>26173142
Go bold (assault vest)
Lava plume, earthpower, clear smog, rapid spin

>>26173142
>Not using that glorious 140 Defence
It's like people using Mega-Banette as a status user.

Torkoal's primary (and only) use in PU is as a spinner than can sort of stand up to Monferno, Gourgeist and Pawniard. It's also good as a status spreader and an SR user. Shell Smash on something with a 20 base speed is a terrible idea, especially when it loses to scarf Rotom and Floatzel anyway which are the two best Pokemon in the tier

@leftovers
Lava Plume
SR/Body Slam/Earthquake/WoW/Toxic
Rapid Spin
Yawn/Toxic/Rest
The choice of the second slot is really how you want yours to play. Do you not have enough Pokemon with SR on the team? Go with SR. If you do have enough, then choose from the other 4 options. WoW is if you don't trust lava plume's 30% burn chance and probably the worst of the other options due to its redundancy. Use Earthquake if you want to hit other fire types and Probopass (this makes it a good counter to all forms of Flareon). Body Slam and Toxic are just what work better for your team. Is your team slow, or does it have trouble with walls? The last slot can realistically be the ones I listed or anything you didn't choose in the second slot. Yawn spreads sleep and is good for phazing, Toxic is Toxic and Rest is there because Torkoal doesn't have any recovery of its own outside of it and leftovers. It should be noted that you'll need a cleric regardless of what set you run here since you'll find that Torkoal gets worn down really easily due to its weakness to SR, its lack of immunity to Spikes, and its vulnerability to T-Spikes. Plus if you run Rest, then you'll have to cure that sleep somehow.
