Explanation of Set
This set's raw power, Speed, and coverage make it incredibly difficult to safely switch into. Thunderbolt is the obligatory STAB, hitting everything that isn't immune to it really hard while denting even the Pokemon that resist it. Heat Wave covers Grass-types and hits Steel- and Ice-types harder than Thunderbolt. Energy Ball destroys Swampert and Rhyperior, Roost lets Emolga use its nice resistances to come in multiple times throughout the battle, heal off residual damage, and generally stick around for a long time. He really is a pseudo-Zapdos.
