<p>This build is just another basic curse build. The offensive typing for Carracosta allows it to be effective against nearly all types. The defensive typing is still on the plus side with 4 weaknesses and 5 resistances. Solid Rock is perfect for this pokemon making all of those weaknesses 25% less effective. If you mix Solid Rock will a balanced defensive EV build (Careful, max SD, max HP) This pokemon is a very tough bulky, mixed with huge offensive capabilities. Aqua Jet canceling out that horrible base speed, then it's even better with curse. Rest is needed if you get burned.</p>

<p>At a base this pokemon is a balanced low-bulky against DAers and SAers. ~600 for SAers and ~600 for DAers. Though with a few Curse uses your DA combined efforts will breach wall status very easily. If you have the advantage of maxing out curse you will easily breach elite wall status as well for DAers. The only thing you need to worry about are force switchers and hazers. Though because you always go first against Force Switch moves you need to rock slide if they aren't resistant to rock, to ensure the OHKO. Also the thing about Rock Slide against second turn force switchers is that because you will go first you have a chance of flinching the opponent, this is great because if you don't OHKO the force switcher then you will get buff-nulled. Though if you get the flinch you will have another chance to KO if you did not the first turn. If they are Hazers you need to Aqua Jet them to ensure first chance to OHKO.</p>
