Stealth Rock Yawn Build's Strengths

Pokeball Icon.pngAble to whittle down opponents with passive damage from Sandstorm and Stealth Rock.
Pokeball Icon.pngIs a great support lead with access to moves such as Yawn and Roar.
Pokeball Icon.pngAlso functions well as a Physical Wall thanks to its great bulk.

Whittle Down Opponent's HP with Residual Sandstorm and Stealth Rock Damage

With this build, Hippowdon's main role is to set up Sand Storm and Stealth Rocks to deal residual damage and make it easier for follow up attackers to deal with threats.

Hippowdon also learns Whirlwind (a move which forces the opposing Pokemon to switch out) as an egg move, so it is great to use in combination with Stealth Rock and Sand Stream to whittle down the opposing team's HP.

Force Switch moves refers to moves which force the opponent to switch Pokemon, such as Roar and Whirlwind.

Hippowdon is the Most Versatile Stealth Rock Setter

Hippowdon has a wide range of versatility in its moves to go along with the Yawn + Stealth Rock combo, including Whirlwind to force the opponent's active Pokemon out, and even healing options.

In particular, Whirlwind is very useful, as it can completely negate and disrupt a wide range of opposing tactics, including Substitute and Baton Pass. These type of strategies are generally completely shut down by Whirlwind. Just having a Whirlwind user on your team can greatly increase your match win ratio.

Whirlwind or Roar?

Hippowdon can learn both Roar and Whirlwind, which are both moves that forcibly switch your opponent. Generally speaking, Whirlwind is the better option, because you will never have to worry about Pokemon with the Soundproof ability.

Great Counter to Opposing Physical Walls

Hippowdon performs well as a Physical Wall to counter other Physical Walls. It can switch in to a Pokemon such as Gyarados, Dragonite or Salamence after they have setup Swords Dance or Dragon Dance, tank a hit, Yawn them and then deal good damage with Ice Fang if they stay in.

How to Use Hippowdon Effectively

Force Your Opponent Into a Yawn Stealth Rock Loop

Simple Breakdown of Yawn + Stealth Rock Tactic

1 Set up Stealth Rock
2 Make repeated use of Yawn.
3 Force the difficult decision of switching out or staying in
A Opponent Switches:
If the opponent switches they take damage from Stealth Rock and get hit with Yawn, looping them back to Step 3 again
B Opponent Stays In:
In exchange for Hippowdon taking a hit, you can safely switch to a follow up attacker to deal with them while they sleep

By using the move Yawn consecutively, you can force your opponent into the difficult decision of staying in and falling asleep the following turn, or switching out to take residual damage and be Yawned again.

By setting up Stealth Rock prior to Yawning the opponent, you create a powerful loop that is difficult to break free from.

Out-Tank Other Physical Walls

Hippowdon can use Yawn to put other Physical Walls to sleep, and then attack them with damaging moves such as Earthquake or Ice Fang. If it Terastallizes into a Grass Type it can also resist Water and Grass Type moves, allowing it to easily tank a Waterfall from Gyarados or Hydro Pump from Wash Rotom.

How to Build a Team with Hippowdon

Hippowdon Stealth Rock Yawn Team

Hippowdon has good compatibility with Dragon Type Pokemon that have access to Dragon Dance and high damage output. Once the opponent has been put to sleep with yawn, the Dragon attacker is free to set up and sweep. Dragon Typing also resists Water and Grass, two of Hippowdon's weaknesses.

Hippowdon Physical Wall Team

Hippowdon should be teamed with Pokemon that have good Special Defense to complement Hippowdon's excellent Phsical Defense. As this team primarily focuses on tanking hits and disrupting with Yawn, Hippowdon fits best in a Stall style team with one attacker. It is important that the Pokemon that are in Hippowdon's team can also cover its weaknesses to Grass, Water and Ice.

Counters for Hippowdon

Disrupt Hippowdon with Taunt

By using Taunt you can prevent Hippowdon from using Yawn, Whirlwind, Slack Off and any other status moves, completely disrupting the strategy. Also by utilizing Flying Type Pokemon, you also gain immunity to Earthquake.

Prepare an Answer to Hippowdon

Hippowdon is Common in the current meta and not having an answer to it could mean an auto-loss in that matchup. Make sure you have at least one out to the Stealth Rock Yawn loop when considering a new team.

How to Get Hippowdon's Whirlwind Egg Move

Hippowdon learns Whirlwind as an egg move, so in order to get Whirlwind on Hippowdon, first you need a Pokemon that knows the move. You will then need to make sure Hippowdon has an empty move slot and give it a Mirror Herb.

Finally, set up a picnic with both Hippowdon and the Pokemon that knows the egg move in your party and the move will be transferred to Hippowdon (the other Pokemon still retains its moveset). Unlike previous generations, egg moves can now be transferred regardless of egg group, species or gender.
