ZU [SS] Solrock [QC 1/1] [GP 1/1]

[BaitWiz]

[OVERVIEW]
Solrock fails to be an effective physical wall and Stealth Rock setter due to its terrible stats and weakness-laden typing, meaning that even with full HP and Defense investment it often can't switch into common physically offensive threats like Sawk, Klinklang, and Qwilfish; as a result it is outclassed by the myriad of other excellent options like Palossand, Rhydon, and Miltank.

[SET]
name: Physical Wall
move 1: Morning Sun
move 2: Stealth Rock
move 3: Will-O-Wisp
move 4: Rock Slide
item: Rocky Helmet
ability: Levitate
nature: Impish
evs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Physically defensive Solrock aims to spread burn and set Stealth Rock while staying healthy with Morning Sun, chipping already statused switchins with Rock Slide, and punishing contact moves with Rocky Helmet. It ultimately isn't effective at this due to it being weak to common coverage and prone to getting 2HKOed, making it a liability for its team. Use Palossand, Rhydon, or Miltank instead.
