Physical Sweeper Mudkip
Mudkip is an astounding Physical Sweeper. It was designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. White Herb will reset Mudkip's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Superpower). Focus Sash helps protect Mudkip from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Mudkip's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Damp, prevents explosion/self-destruct/aftermath while Mudkip is active. Avalanche was added to provide additional threat coverage.
♦ Waterfall is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Water-type move (20% chance to flinch the target).
♦ Superpower is a physical 120-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Mudkip's attack and defense by 1 stage).
♦ Rock Smash is a physical 40-base power Fighting-type move (50% chance to lower the target's defense by 1 stage).
♦ Avalanche is a physical 60-base power Ice-type move (power doubles if Mudkip is damaged by the target).
♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 33% recoil).
