Strategy Overview
Karrablast's ability, No Guard, gives it a 100% accurate 120 Base Power STAB move in Megahorn. It also has access to the newly buffed Knock Off, giving it a great coverage and utility move that hits Ghost-types super effectively and gets rid of Eviolite and Berry Juice held by opposing Pokemon. Both of these great moves are backed by a very good base 75 Attack stat, which reaches 18 with an Adamant nature and max investment. Another great boon for Karrablast is its access to Swords Dance, meaning it can easily double its already decent Attack stat. Last but not least, Karrablast's Bug typing means it resists the prevalent Fighting-type moves in LC.
While Karrablast's Bug typing gives it an amazing resistance to Fighting-type moves, it also gives it weaknesses to Fletchling's Acrobatics and the ever-present Stealth Rock. Another problem is that while Karrablast resists Fighting-type moves, it has trouble taking down bulky Fighting-types such as Mienfoo and Timburr, which resist both Megahorn and Knock Off. Another problem with Karrablast is that its decent 16 Speed stat means a lot of prominent threats outspeed it if it doesn't hold a Choice Scarf, such as Abra, fast Mienfoo, Archen, and Timid Chinchou.
