Aipom shows a stupendous Physical Sweeper prowess in single battles. This technique aims to take down the opponent's team with devastating physical attacks. King's Rock grants all attacking moves (that do not already have a chance to flinch) a 10% chance of causing each target to flinch. Focus Sash helps protect Aipom from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Aipom's multi-hit attacks will always hit the max times with Skill Link.
◆ Return is a physical STAB-boosted 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness).
◆ Foul Play is a physical 95-base power Dark-type move (uses target's attack stat in damage calculation).
◆ Knock Off is a physical 65-base power Dark-type move (1.5x damage if foe holds an item; Note: This will also remove that item).
◆ Shadow Claw is a physical 70-base power Ghost-type move (high critical hit ratio).
◆ Seed Bomb is a physical 80-base power Grass-type move that deals a hefty amount of damage.
