>we ain't stupid
>surely iron defense on this Ice-type with no recovery is a good idea

>>30522458
Yes let us hold council here and now.
This is my favorite mon to come out of SM, and now my 2nd favorite (1st is mawile)

So i wanna hear what the counsil has to say of Alolan Sandslash

Really the only moveset you should be using is icicle crash/iron head/eq/swords dance while holding a life orb

The real question is jolly or adamant?

>>30522569
There were so many great mons in Alola, but Sandslash is by far my favorite thing out of gen 7

Minior is a very close second

>>30522522
Okay first of all, you are acting like Alolan Sandslash has more than 3 weaknesses, Fire Fighting Ground.

Secondly, Im just opening up conversation.

>>30522851
Thing is what would be the point in iron defense? This thing is only gonna be comming out after deaths or predictions, its much better to get damage off on the switch or set up and sweep. Otherwise toxipex or tapu fini or something is gonna switch in and either scald you to death or criplle you with burn. Theres just not a point in iron defense

>>30523003
This;
Jolly 252/252 Speed/Attack SD/EQ/IC/IH is the only way to succeed. True Snowslashbros know this.

>>30522718
Jolly. Attack don't matter if you never get to use it.

>>30522458
I'm running this

Snowslash (Sandslash-Alola) @ Life Orb
Ability: Slush Rush
EVs: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 220 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Icicle Crash
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Swords Dance

the EV are optimized to outspeed Roach.
You're supposed to set up in hail veil once, and then sweep. It's incredible in hail, and can balk a hit to kill something with +2 even without it.

Never run it without Ninetales imo.

>>30522458
Here's the most important part of the build
Nickname it Snowshew

>>30523632

You mean Gary Coldman

is it possible to even make a good hail team with just sun/moon and no pokebank?

there's swinub in the island scan

vanilluxe got snow warning but it's still a vanilluxe

>>30524266
hail is shit

>>30524292
I know but with slush rush and aurora veil and the new snow warning options it seems fun

>>30524292
no it's not
it's still the worst weather, but definitely not shit

>>30524266
