If I could bring up a pokemon that I feel is pathetically underrated, the first thing I would blurt out is "Offensive Whimsicott!" Offensive Whimsi is great in RU for multiple reasons. It has great Dual STABs, is incredibly fast even with a Modest Nature, and has great priority.
Jiggz (Whimsicott) @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Nature Power
- Giga Drain
- Moonblast
- Hidden Power [Fire]
This set is, simply put, my favorite thing to use in RU. Giga Drain is great for healing off LO recovery, and Moonblast is your strong, spamming move. Moonblast hits very hard, even coming off of Whimsi's mediocre base 77 Sp. Att stat. HP Fire is here to catch things like Doublade and Escavalier on switchins, as it 2HKOes them both. And one of my favorite things about this mon, Nature Power, is defaulted to Tri-Attack (obviously). But, since Nature Power isn't
directly an attack, it is moved up to +1 priority from prankster. I cannot begin to explain how good it feels to kill Fletchinder after rocks, when they think they can safely Acrobatics. I also useit to deal a considerable chunk to sharpedo once it is Faster than me.Other options for this mon include Hurricane as powerful coverage, Memento to make room for setups, or U-Turn to hit things that wall you on their switch-in. I prefer HP Fire to these options though, as otherwise Whimsi gets Hardwalled by Doublade and Escav.
