Superpower is in most cases what you want to blow holes into the opposing team, although repeated use makes your attacks weaker. And since its defensives stats aren't that great to begin with, a debuff in Defense isn't that big of a deal.
Hammer Arm is decent in that it doesn't impair your Hammer Arm + Shadow Sneak damage output. Though do note that while 90 BS Speed does make Navighast slow in a tierless environment and that the Speed drop may not be too detrimental as every usable mon already outspeeds it, that may not always be the case. Once Navighast gets sorted into UU or NU, its Speed BS may become a valuable asset, as 90 is really not bad. It's average.
The point of all this being, whether using Superpower or Hammer Arm, be aware of what it's going to cost you to avoid surprises.
If one were to argue that using Superpower in the same set as Swords Dance is counterproductive, I would tell them that Superpower is meant for weakening foes early-game while Swords Dance can only be used late-game for a Shadow Sneak sweep.
Oh and those 4 EVs left have to go into one of the Defenses, not into HP, to keep an odd number of HP at level 50.
In a nutshell :
Navighast @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Speed
Jolly Nature
- Superpower
- Shadow Sneak
- Swords Dance
- coverage against problematic foes for your team, or Will-o-Wisp. Because Will-o-Wisp fits better here than on any other set.
AAAAAAAAAAAND I just checked and saw that Shadow Sneak was an unobtainable egg move. F*ck me.
Then Mach Punch + Shadow Claw it is, as unpleased as that leaves me. I'll leave what I wrote here just in case this changes in the future and Shadow Sneak becomes available (lol)
A ShadowBlast move combo is just what you need here tbh. Plus the added coverage, which I find a superior option to Will-o-Wisp here.
Quote:Hiya! It been awhile since there has been a Competitive guide on forum, what it going dormant due to online battles being capput atm.I, for one, have set the guides I was supposed to write aside for a bit out of pure laziness, and not because the online is a little shaky. I have strategic sets for almost every Uranium mon on a text file but it's writing guides that bored me. I might post some once the Halloween tourney is past, ie once the competition is over and once I had the chance to see stuff played I hadn't thought of.
Quote:You are a Pirate! ARRRRG! (Physical Atk)Drain Punch is wasted here. The damage output is far from satisfactory. Superpower or Hammer Arm are what you want to put here.

Sword Dance
Ice Punch/Knock Off/Leaf Blade
Item: Life Orb/Super Belt/Scope Lens

Quote:A Dead Man Tells No Tales (Destiny Bond)That may just be me but I feel two sets have been mixed up here. The Life Orb set is a variant of "You are a pirate ARRRRG". The Choice Scarf set on the other hand, as @Narshyl pointed, deserves more credit. Superpower, Shadow Claw, [Coverage], in conjunction with a Scarfed Destiny Bond is something to watch out for. The element of suprise is here and while it may not hit super hard, it can definitely nick a surprise kill.
