  3. I don't know which pokemon will help Stoutland set up sand in a playthrough of Black and White, but having Intimidate as another ability it has to lower the target's attack stat as it enters into battle is also useful. I love raising an Adamant nature Lillipup to evolve to Stoutland to place it in my team.

  4. Reliable dog being one of the best carries for BW. A jack-of-all stats that would seem to be a bit of crutch mon for early but still catches up a bit. But seriously, XY had things to think about buffing Stoutland's Atk when Game Freak still are unsure of it's capabilities. (After general mechanic changes)

  6. i used stoutland in game B2W2 and i loved it.. it got great stats, along with wide movepool coverage.. later in late game, i replaced it with golurk, for coverage.. anyway, great to see stoutland thrives in competitive scene as well

  7. As far as Gen 8 goes in hindsight, is there honestly any reason you couldn't run a set like this and adapt? Turn Stoutland into a fast, but bulky wall breaker.

    Ex: 252 Speed, 100 Attack, 76 Defense and Special Defense, 4 HP.

    Slap on a Wide Lens and use STAB Giga Impact for only a 1% margin of error. Run Intimidate for extra physical bulk. Between Superpower, Play Rough's 99% Accuracy (just like Giga Impact) and Stomping Tantrum, this could still work. Maybe even toss in some Baton Pass support for good measure?
