Physical Sweeper Pineco (Overcoat)
Pineco is a notable Physical Sweeper. It's designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Pineco is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield without an Eviolite attached to it. 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 Pineco from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Pineco's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Overcoat, Pineco is immune to damage from sandstorm or hail. Revenge was added to provide additional threat coverage.
♦ Revenge is a physical 60-base power Fighting-type move (power doubles if Pineco is damaged by the target). ♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 33% recoil). ♦ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon). ♦ Drill Run is a physical 80-base power Ground-type move (high critical hit ratio). ♦ Bug Bite is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Bug-type move (Pineco steals and eats the target's berry). ♦ Rock Slide is a physical 75-base power Rock-type move (30% chance to flinch the foes). ♦ Rollout is a physical 30-base power Rock-type move (power doubles with each hit. repeats for 5 turns).
