Slaking
Slaking spends all day lying down and lolling about. It eats grass growing within its reach. If it eats all the grass it can reach, this Pokémon reluctantly moves to another spot.

Slaking @ Choice Band
Adamant - Truant
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Return
- Earthquake
- Night Slash
- Retaliate / Pursuit

Your hit and run set. With Truant, Slaking isn't going to stay in for more than one turn, use that one turn to weaken your opponent and give an opportunity for a teammate to step up and sweep.

I enjoy how some of you say Giga Impact is bad and should never be used, yet in the very same post you go on about how gimmick Pursuit sets with a Cofagrigus partners are unstoppable.

Face it. Slaking is bad. Giga Impact's sheer power is undeniable, and much of the time Slaking is so tough it can survive a boosted hit to strike back even if something sets up on it. You can give your opponent a free turn staying in, or a free turn switching to something else. Team preview will prevent surprises so if you can't afford X to set up, well don't use Giga Impact (lol or Slaking at all). Not like you can't run multiple STABs.

Return or Double Edge / Giga Impact / Earthquake / Pursuit or Night Slash. It really doesn't need much else.

How is Giga Impact bad? Maybe in Doubles, but in Singles, it's a great move, especially since it's in sync with Traunt, anyway.

You can still switch on Truant turns. You can't switch following Giga Impact. Giga Impact guarantees a free turn with zero consequences to the opponent.
