It's still not leaving the bottom tiers, but hopefully this will give it some use outside of weather teams:
>Spa: 45->35
slight minmaxing since Alolan version has 25 Spa
>Spe: 65->85
>BST: 450->460
Since Sandslash can roll I wanted to give it just some more speed. Give the Alolan version +10 to one of the defensive stats instead since that cannot roll.
>gets Tough Claw
>learns U-Turn
>no longer learns High Horsepower
While Tough Claw is a meme ability similar to Sheer Force in the way that you could just slap these to any physical attacker, the ability is very fitting in this case and it's not even THAT powerful since your stab EQ doesn't benefit from this. Had to remove High Horsepower from learnset because it's apparently a contact move and so you'd be using Drill Run, a very fitting move, instead.
Even with Tough Claws you might still be better off using EQ anyway since the higher crit isn't worth it over the 5% to miss, 1.2 lower average base damage, and the downsides of making contact.
