Oh yess.... The first Pokemon of the Week at Pokemon Suckers is..... CLOYSTER!
Description: Cloyster is extremely awesome due to its super high defense stat. It has a base 180 defense. The attack and special attack stats are also moderately high: 95 attack, 85 special attack.
Nature: Jolly Nature
Ev's: 252 attack, 48 special attack, 208 speed
Moveset: Shell Smash, Icicle Spear, Rock Blast, Surf/Ice Shard.
Held Item: King's Rock
Preferred Ability: Skill Link
Explanation: Skill Link is an ability that basically makes every move that can hit two to five times hit five times- all the time. So that mean the move Icicle Spear will have a CRAZY 187 BASE ATTACK POWER (due to STAB). Plus the move Rock Blast will also get a strong 125 base attack power. The move Shell Smash is just epic because of Cloyster's super powerful defense. It can use Shell Smash to raise it's offensive stats up sharply. Surf is a pretty nice move that also can be used for HM uses, and Ice Shard has a base 80 attack power, and a priority move. The reason why I would hold a King's Rock is that every time you use Icicle Spear and Rock Blast, you would have an increased chance for flinching. You would have an huge 47% flinch rate.
(Note: this is the most used set for Cloyster, but it is still great.)
