What's a good set for Alolan Persian? How tanky does Fur Coat make it?
Alolan Persian is only good in NU.
Fur Coat + Parting Shot is mandatory, otherwise anything else can do its job.
Took not one but two Gen VI gimmicks to turn a Gen I shitmon into a slightly better shitmon. God, how depressing.

Uninvested, Fur Coat puts its Defense at 312
I actually use it in OU, decent check for M-Metagross, can tank a +1 meteor mash and KO it back with foul play, plus she is faster than almost every non-scarfer, so farting shot into a pivot or tank grants you free hazards or defog. Finally, Z-parting shot can bring back tanks with no recovery like A-muk or specs magnezone, or heal to full a late game cleaner who recieved some dmg.
My set is:
252 speed, 30 Def, rest HP - Jolly
DarkniumZ - Fur Coat
Taunt, parting shot, toxic, foul play

It's a good support in VGC, it's underused because of the bug that made it parting shot banned, but now that it got fixed everyone forgot about the poor guy.
Notable moves:
Parting shot
Foul Play
Fake out
Switcheroo
Quash
Taunt
Feint
Roar
Snarl
Charm
Depening on your playstyle you can choose different sets, some people got in top 8 with him already.

What's a good way to run 252 HP, 252 SpDef Snarl set? Toss on Z-Parting Shot and Toxic with a random 4th move?
And what was the glitch?
>>31874568
You may not believe it but I actually use it in OU. Nasty Plot and Dark Pulse. I've won many battles with it.

>Not abusing its amazing speed tier
Come on anon. Timid 252 speed, then the rest mixed between HP and SpD

What's a good mix?

Unless you're going technician there's no need for snarl desu, and 95 hit chance means you'll miss eventually, plus no flinch chance
>>31878569
But you're not using Snarl for damage or accuracy, you're using it for the Special Attack drop.

156 HP, 100 SpD is the common one.

I use timid instead of jolly, and scarf instead of darkinium, plus switcheroo instead of toxic. Pretty good for a meme set, if used properly you can fuck up two of the opponents pokemon, and have a safe switch in by parting shot-ing into another.
A moderately good player will see beyond this shit though, but it's useful to rank up on early ELO
