Choiced Wallbreaker

Ferrosleyer @ Choice Band Ability: Strong Jaw Adamant Nature EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe - Crunch - Ice Fang - Thunder Fang - Low Kick

Ferrosleyer is an extremely threatening Pokemon due to sporting the new strongest Crunch in the entire game with Strong Jaw and Choice Band boosting it's power to absurd levels. Ice Fang and Thunder Fang allow it to hit the majority of the tier as strong coverage, while Low Kick allows it to beat opposing Bisharp who lack Low Kick themselves.

Set Up Attacker

Ferrosleyer @ Life Orb Ability: Sheer Force EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature / Jolly Nature - Crunch - Ice Fang - Swords Dance - Metal Crusher

With Sheer Force Life Orb and a singles Swords Dance, there is little to nothing in the entire tier that are able to take a single neutral or super effective hit from Ferrosleyer. Physical walls shudder in fear after a single Swords Dance too, with Ferrosleyer always being able to kill Skarmory with Metal Crusher, and allowing it to deal massive damage to physically defensive Buzzwole as well with Metal Crusher allowing it to manage a 2hko at +2 on the mosquito. Ice Fang allows it to kill Rillaboom at +0, while also killing Salamence who might try to set up on you as well.

Team Options

Weaknesses

The main competition that Ferrosleyer faces is that it isn't very bulky and can easily be chipped down by opposing Pokemon. It also relys on Sticky Webs to allow it to become a major sweeping threat, a hazard that isn't particularly strong due to Gholdengo being absent from the tier and having strong spinners like Excadrill, and defoggers like Skarmory and Rotom Wash in the tier. With no priority, Ferrosleyer's poor speed tier doesn't allow it to really get more than 1 or 2 kills, but if it does get these kills, it's very late in the game.
