Stantler, The Big Horn Pokémon. Those who stare at its antlers will gradually lose control of their senses and be unable to stand. The curved antlers subtly change the flow of air to create a strange space where reality is distorted. The round balls found on the fallen antlers can be ground into a powder that aids in sleeping. It's magnificent antlers were traded at high prices as works of art. As a result, it was hunted close to extinction by those who were after the priceless antlers.
Battle Moveset
A Good Moveset for Stantler would have to be this:
Attacks:
Swagger
Psych Up
Shadow Ball
Return
Items Attached:
Salac Berry
Preferred Nature:
Adamant
Strategy Using Stantler
To avoid repetition of Choice-banders, this pokemon
has been given a slightly more risky moveset to use.
Even though Stantler has a varied movepool which it
can use, its defenses and HP however, are lacking.
Swagger and Psych up work together, confusing your
opponents pokemon while boosting its attack, Psych up
copies this stat increase to boost Stanters attack
strength.
Being a normal type, Stantler can use Return
effectively due to the increase from STAB and will do
a lot of damage with the boost in attack. Shadow ball
obviously covers the types that Return does not hit.
The Choice banding Stantler however, can allow for
more variation in its offensive moves, such as:
Earthquake, Return, Shadow ball, Hidden Power Physical
such as Rock or Flying.
Stantler's movepool even allows it to be a special
sweeper, though it isn't as powerful as the above two
movesets (Calm mind, Tbolt/Sunny day, HP ice/HP Fire,
Filler/Solarbeam, though without STAB, the damage it
deals won't be that great)
EV Corner:
Max out the EVs in Attack & Speed for Stantler with any remaining in HP
Strategy Against Stantler
Stantler has overall below average defences and HP,
however its move pool can be varied in many ways and
both offensive stats are above average and therefore,
usable. Not only that, but it also has access to
annoyance moves, including status afflicters like
Hypnosis and Thunder Wave as well as Confusion
inducers such as Swagger and Confuse Ray.
- One simple way around Stantler, hit it fast and
hard.
