Physical Sweeper Gulpin (Gluttony)
Gulpin is a wonderful Physical Sweeper. The purpose of this moveset is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Gulpin is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield until Eviolite was equipped. If Eviolite is held by a Pokémon that is not fully evolved, it will raises the Defense and Special Defense of that Pokemon by 50%. Focus Sash helps protect Gulpin from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Gulpin's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Gluttony, when Gulpin has 1/2 or less of its maximum hp it uses certain berries early.
♦ Frustration is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at minimum happiness).
♦ Seed Bomb is a physical 80-base power Grass-type move that deals a substantial amount of damage.
♦ Fire Punch is a physical 75-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn the target).
♦ Ice Punch is a physical 75-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze the target).
