I actually like Sandslash the least of my team.
If you know Yugioh and the current TWG, you should know why I have this avatar.

What's scrafty's move set? I don't think iron head is a good move for it.

[Jompa]

I'm starting to like scrafty more and more :3

FSM, something that's been bugging me - you're using spore-focus punch on breloom. But why the hell not toxic orb-poison heal-facade, as well? You would've killed that gliscor in one gogogo if you used facade when badly poisoned (which would heal you!)? wynaut?

[FSM-Reapr]

Because Techinician+Bullet Seed+Mach Punch. Life Orb does a lot of damage, and Breloom's defenses are so weak that almost any super-effective move could wipe him out. Also Facade+Poison=140 power when Focus Punch+STAB+Life Orb=275 power(more then Explosion xD).

[Jompa]

Yeah, but you don't have to omit focus punch (and it still is deadly as long as you have spore to guarantee your hit). Poison heal, y'know, heals you when your poisoned (hence the toxic orb), AND also omits the chance of getting another status ailment, while life orb takes 9,9 % of your HP for each attack, and doesn't give you any defense from status ailments. and in cases where focus punch isn't good enough (like with the gliscor), You'll have facade, which is doubled by the poison ailment (that doesn't hurt you, but heals you) - making it better than focus punch in (many) cases - like when focus punch only does 1/2 damage or worse.
I just think there are more cases where poison heal-toxic orb-focus punch-spore-(solar beam/mach punch)-facade, is better than technician-bullet seed-mach punch-spore-life orb-focus punch. But of course: I do see your point, with technician and all But i think there are other pokemon suited much better for this kinda tactic than breloom. Breloom is more suited for the toxic orb tactic, together with Hariyama, Machamp, Swellow, Gliscor and other Guts/Poison Heal pokemon. I even have my own team, with 4/6 of these pokemon, a rapid spinner, and a sheer forcer..

[FSM-Reapr]

The Life Orb is pretty much the reason why I use Technician. No idiot would try to make Breloom paralyzed knowing it has Spore. They try to get rid of it as fast as they can. Also Life Orb damage is not a big deal, like I said, you can easily destroy Breloom with one hit. Also Bullet Seed and Mach Punch are good moves with Technician.

And btw, Facade would have definitely not killed that Gliscor. -.-

[Roz~]

For your information, Facade from an Adamant Breloom who's poisoned would do 30,51% - 36,16% to the most common kind of Gliscor we usually see in OU. And I've never seen anyone use Facade Breloom in 5th gen, because Technician is a great ability, and Breloom can abuse it with Mach punch/Bullet Seed/etc. And if you're worried about damage, you can always use Drain Punch.
