Physical Sweeper Pansear (Gluttony)
Pansear is an extraordinary Physical Sweeper. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Focus Sash helps protect Pansear from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out (usually Flame Charge to boost Pansear for the following turns). Life Orb boosts the power of Pansear's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Gluttony, when Pansear has 1/2 or less of its maximum hp it uses certain berries early.
♦ Flame Charge is a physical STAB-boosted 50-base power Fire-type move (100% chance to raise your Pansear's speed by 1 stage).

♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness).
♦ Crunch is a physical 80-base power Dark-type move (20% chance to lower the target's defense by 1 stage).
♦ Bite is a physical 60-base power Dark-type move (30% chance to flinch the target).
