Is there any good used for pic related? Battle tree it seems useless, crap sweeper, bad for online.
Is there a setup that makes it actually useful? Or just another garbage legendary?

Set up hazards, get off a Sludge Wave/Power Gem, faint.
setting up hazards
Bold nature and make it into a mixed wall, run with meme rocks, twave, poison drench, and power gem, invest EVs into hp and def with slight investment into sp def for beastboost
timid@life orb/specs
power gem
sludge wave/bomb
thunderbolt
dazzling gleam/psychic
you're welcome

>timid
So it's better with the SpD boost?
>>31133207
it gets satk boosts from beast boost if you invest it
anyway LO with the above set but SR swapped over a move is perfectly usable. it's kinda crummy as a sash lead right now though thanks to poisons being everywhere and garchomp being an alternative
>>31133028
For Battle Tree, use AV or LO. Works wonders for me. You're doing something wrong.
Leftovers Buzzwole, Assault Vest Nihilego, filler item (e.g. Sitrus Berry) Celesteela forms a solid core
>>31133028
Getting up stealth rocks and occasionally toxic spikes and then doing damage is usually all I do with it. It's my favorite Ultra boost and depending on the matchup I can go from suicide lead to Hazard sweeper
Nihilego is a ridiculously underrated special sweeper. Make it Timid with 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, give it a life orb. Run HP Ice, Tbolt, Sludge Bomb, and Power Gem
>>31133028
Think of it as a slightly better Gengar
>>31134026
>No sludge wave or mega
>>31134009
People, myself included, are just hurting for good sneaky pebble users and Nihil fits the bill perfectly and does a wonderful job softening up the enemy after it suicides.
>>31134370
It does get Sludge Wave though.
>>31133028
I use him as a suicide lead and special defense tank
You get two of these, right? What natures should I get, one Timid and one Careful?
>>31134778
I got only one, not sure if this differs between versions.
>>31133028
It's actually pretty popular in VGC, presumably because it beats Tapus and hits things like Gyarados, Marowak and Arcanine reasonably well. Not sure if it's worse in singles
>>31134778
>Careful
That reduces Special Attack, its highest stat. Surely after Timid you would want Modest, Calm or Bold?
>>31134778
you get one. it's in two different locations but once you catch it in one, it disappears in the other
>>31135014
Oops, meant Calm.
>>31135071
Welp, there goes that idea anyway. Timid it is, I guess.
