Make that 1 HP last!
Keldeo is rumored to be released soon when the new movie comes out. There is no doubt that Keldeo is a force to be reckoned with in the OU metagame, but will it go as far as Uber? Most may not think so, but then we take a closer look at Keldeo...
Base Stats:
HP: 91
Atk: 72
Def: 90
SpA: 129
SpD: 90
Spe: 108
Ability: Justified-Boosts Attack by one stage when hit by a Dark-type move.
With Justified, Keldeo can switch into almost any Dark-type move. It also fixes Keldeo's weakest stat, which, along with Swords Dance, can make it a threatening sweeper.
That's an impressive list. There are many Keldeo sets to be used. Certain examples are listed below:
Keldeo@Leftovers
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
-Calm Mind
-Hydro Pump
-Hidden power Ghost
-Secret Sword
Same as above, except with Calm Mind instead of Hidden Power. HP Ghost hits Jellicent, Lati@s, Starmie, Celebi and Slowbro hard.
Keldeo@Leftovers/Life Orb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant / Jolly
-Swords Dance
-Close Combat
-Aqua Tail
-Stone Edge
This set aims to SD up until you have enough Attack to OHKO everything, then you OHKO everything.. with your base 72 attack.
Will Keldeo be Uber? Discuss.
