16. Exploud

Exploud features on this list as another solely Normal Type Pokémon, and obviously benefits from the same typing bonuses as Ambipom did earlier on. If you're looking for something along those lines that's sturdier and less flighty, then Exploud is definitely the way to go.

For a start, its most powerful attack, Boomburst, is essentially a better version of Hyper Beam as it's almost as powerful, but is more accurate and does not require that the user recharge on the next turn. Exploud can also learn a number of moves that have the chance to make opponents flinch in battle, making it a force for pure intimidation.

If you can get an Exploud with the hidden ability 'Scrappy', you'll also be able have it be even more effective since it will be able to hit Ghost Type Pokémon with its Normal Type moves. This is a bit of a long shot, of course, but why not shoot for the stars, eh?
