Haxorus Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, Don't let Haxorus's 540 base stat total fool you. Mold Breaker is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier as a wallbreaker. Earthquake with Lum Berry is the standard set.
In Black 2 & White 2, Run Mold Breaker on Haxorus. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Haxorus also gets Rivalry and Unnerve, but they don't compare.
In Black 2 & White 2, Haxorus fills the wallbreaker role. It's a physical attacker with base 147 Attack. Base 97 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Black 2 & White 2, the best way to handle Haxorus: Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Special attackers bypass its physical bulk.
Game Availability
Introduced in Black & White, Haxorus has appeared in 8 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
