TheFemaleTyrogue's Skeleton

[Overview]

<p>Buneary is a strong player in the Little Cup metagame. Sporting a great Speed and Attack stats along with a formidable offensive movepool makes it a contender to rival some of Little Cup's best Normal-types, such as Meowth and Aipom. Although Meowth does carry Technician and Aipom has a great Attack stat, Buneary can function just as well with moves such as Encore and Switcheroo. Although Buneary has a complete lack of resistances and immunities barring its Ghost-type immunity, it performs well offensively with a powerful STAB Return. While Run Away is useless competitively, Klutz does have its uses with Switcheroo if you are willing to "throw away" your item slot. It may face competition from its fellow offensive Normal-types, but Buneary is a sure threat to be weary of, and a strong team contender. Just make sure it is the best fit for your own team.</p>

[SET]
name: Anti-Lead
move 1: Fake Out
move 2: Switcheroo
move 3: Return
move 4: Encore / Thunder Punch
item: Flame Orb / Choice Scarf
ability: Klutz
nature: Jolly
evs: 236 Atk / 36 Def / 236 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Buneary can function very well as a fast lead. Fake Out is a wonderful move to break Focus Sash or Sturdy. Switcheroo is a good move to carry as it can cripple many Pokémon. Flame Orb burns the opponent, cutting its Attack stat and dealing damage over time. Choice Scarf's ability to lock opponents into one attack can be truly debilitating to many enemies, especially defensive Pokémon that rely on Eviolite. Return is Buneary's primary STAB move. It has a high Base Power and good neutral coverage, but has issues with Ghost-type Pokémon who are immune to it. Encore is useful in locking the opponent into a move - it is intended to be used with Flame Orb, since its function is rather repetitive alongside Choice Scarf Switcheroo. Locking the opponent into a move can give teammates like Scraggy opportunities to set up. ThunderPunch provides neutral coverage against all Ghost-types excluding
Golett, which is very rare.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>The given EVs and nature enable Buneary to achieve the high speed Stat of 18, which allows it to outspeed most Pokémon. An Adamant nature works well to increase power in exchange for Speed, but Buneary must watch out for Ghost-types as they will shut it down if its not running Ice Punch. Gastly is a useful teammate, hitting Ghost-types hard with Shadow Ball along with being immune to Fighting-type moves, while in return Buneary is immune to Ghost-type moves and can cripple many bulky Pokemon that may stand in Gastly's way. Slowpoke too is a good teammate, with a large Defense stat and a resistance to Fighting-type moves that can be helpful to Buneary in many situations.</p>

[SET]
name: Choice Band
move 1: Return
move 2: Jump Kick / Drain Punch
move 3: Thunder Punch
move 4: Switcheroo / Quick Attack / Fire Punch
item: Choice Band
ability: Limber
nature: Jolly
evs: 236 Atk / 36 Def / 236 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

<p>Buneary has a fairly wide physical movepool with access to moves such as Ice Punch, Fire Punch, Jump Kick, and Drain Punch, giving it great potential for a Choice Band set when used in conjunction with its high Speed stat. Return is the STAB move of choice, dealing heavy damage to all but the bulkiest foes who lack a resistance. Carrying Thunder Punch allows Buneary to hit ghost types neutrally, which it wouldn't be able to do otherwise. Switcheroo is useful if you can swap over your Choice Band to the right Pokemon, potentially crippling it. Pokemon such as Gastly are severely crippled by Choice Band. Drain Punch or Jump Kick are useful for hitting Rock- and Steel-types that resist Buneary's STAB. Drain Punch has the benefit of replenishing some of Buneary's health, while Jump Kick has a higher Base Power but unfortunately also has only 95 accuracy and deals recoil damage to Buneary when it misses.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>Choice Band and Buneary's variety of powerful attacks allow it to hit a wide range of Pokemon very hard. Buneary's high Speed stat allows it to outspeed a large percentage of the Little Cup metagame. Having the ability Limber prevents Buneary from being paralyzed, a tremendous boon to any speedy offensive Pokémon.
Slowpoke is a good teammate, with a large Defense stat and a resistance to Fighting-type moves that can be useful to Buneary.</p>



[SET]
name: Support
move 1: Encore / Sweet Kiss
move 2: Circle Throw
move 3: Healing Wish / Heal Bell
move 4: Ice Punch / ThunderPunch
item: Eviolite
ability: Limber
nature: Jolly / Adamant
evs: 96 HP / 148 Att / 96 Def / 156 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

<p>Buneary has the moves and stats to pull off a support set adequately. With access to moves such as Encore and Healing Wish, it can be a huge asset to your team. Using Encore with Circle Throw is a great combination when set up correctly. Encore has a lot of potential to force switches, which can be extremely frustrating when Circle Throw is used against the switch-ins to further scout the opposing team. When used in conjunction with entry hazards, this set can actually break through stall. When Buneary gets down to low HP, it can use Healing Wish to sacrifice itself to fully heal one of its crippled or weak teammates. Heal Bell is a useful move, as it will rid your team of all status problems. Carrying Ice Punch or ThunderPunch assures that you aren't walled by Ghost-types.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>Running an Eviolite boosts Buneary's defenses, which is pretty important considering the fact that this is a support set. With the given EVs, Buneary hits 18 Defense and Special Defense. Running an Adamant nature increases your damage output and goes along well with Buneary's already high Speed stat. Entry hazards such as Stealth Rock or Spikes are integral to bring out this set's full potential. Due to most Little Cup Pokemon having low HP stats, they won't take as much damage, but hazards are still very effective to cut away at their HP, making them easy to KO later on. When using a set like this, one should keep in mind Buneary's meager defenses, and consider its advantages against Pokemon such as Togepi. Gastly is a good teammate to Buneary. Not only is it immune to Fighting-type moves, it can also hit other Ghost types with moves such as Shadow Ball. Buneary is immune to Ghost-type moves which allows it to act as a great partner to Gastly.</p>

[Other Options]

<p>Buneary can also run a Choice Scarf set. Even when no EVs are invested, Buneary still hits 22 Speed with a Choice Scarf, outrunning all unboosted LC Pokemon as well as many the Choice Scarf users who usually have only 21 Speed. While Switcheroo is a great move with Choice Scarf, Buneary often finds itself outclassed in LC as a simple Choice Scarf user.</p>

[Checks and Counters]

<p>Buneary has below average defensive stats and an unfortunate weakness to common Fighting-type attacks, thus making Drain Punch users such as Scraggy are great checks. Priority users of Mach Punch and Vacuum Wave are a nuisance, ignoring Buneary's great speed and destroying the fragile bunny with super effective damage. Gastly is a good check, as it is immune to Normal-type moves and can retaliate with Hidden Power Fighting, though it must be weary as the majority of its sets will be severely disabled by a Choice Scarf or Choice Band via Switcheroo. Pawniard is a good counter, resisting Normal-type attacks, and having the potential to set up a Swords Dance. It must watch out for either Flame Orb or Choice Scarf. Cottonee is also a counter to Buneary, as it has access to priority Encore and Substitute, which can force Buneary to switch out often. However, it must watch out for a Choice Scarf set, which can outspeed and KO it.</p>

[Overview]

<p>Buneary is a strong little player in the Little Cup metagame. Sporting a great Speed and Attack stat paired with it's along with a formidable offensive movepool makes it a contender to rival with some of Little Cup's best Normal-types, such as Meowth and Aipom. Although Meowth does carry Technician for an ability and Aipom has a great Attack stat, with the moves Buneary has access to such as Encore and Switcheroo it ends up evening out to their level Buneary can function just as well with moves such as Encore and Switcheroo. While Buneary is a Normal-type, it does not provide and benefits defensively causing Buneary to take at least neutral damage from every type other than Ghost although offensively it proves to be a benefit giving STAB to many strong moves such as Return Although Buneary has a complete lack of resistances and immunities barring one to Ghost-type attacks thanks to its Normal typing, it benefits offensively with a powerful STAB Return. With Klutz and Run Away being aimed more for in-game play, they do not prove to be useful in competitive play aside from tricking over items. While Buneary is a great option, as previously stated, Aipom and Meowth are on the same level and might do better in accordance with your team.</p>

[SET COMMENTS]
<p>The Lead set works very well under Buneary. Buneary can unction very well as a fast lead. Since Buneary has access to Fake Out, it is very useful in this role as it can be used to obtain free damage and break Focus Sash or Sturdy Pokémon. Switcheroo is a good move to carry as it can cripple many Pokémon. Flame Orb gives a status to the opponent, which cutting their Attack stat and dealing damage over time. Choice Scarf is useful for locking Pokémon into one move and forcing them to switch out. Not only that, but it can also be useful in stealing the opponent's Eviolite, which would decrease the opponent's bulk significantly, making them easier to KO.
Return is Buneary's primary STAB move. It has a high Base Power and has neutral coverage over several Pokémon which makes it a good option. Though, it does, but baits Ghost-type Pokémon who resist are immune to it. Encore is useful in locking the opponent into a move - (remove comma, put hyphen) this is aimed to be used with Flame Orb, since Choice Scarf does the same thing as Encore. Locking the opponent into a move will allow you to set up your team with sweepers like such as Scraggy and Murkrow. Ice Punch is always a good move, which can get smacking Pokémon such as Gligar and Misdreavus who would not be affected by Return.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>The Anti-Lead This set is great in at wreaking havoc on many of the Pokémon that try to set up entry hazards. With Team Preview around, the effectiveness of this set is significantly reduced. The given EVs and nature enable Buneary to achieve the high speed Stat of 18, which allows it to outspeed most of the Pokémon
. An Adamant nature works well to increase the power for in exchange for Speed, but Buneary must watch out for Ghost-types as they will shut Buneary it down if its not running Ice Punch. Misdreavus is a useful teammate, hitting Ghost-types hard with Shadow Ball along with being immune to Fighting-type moves, and while in return Buneary is immune to Ghost-type moves and can cripple many bulky Pokemon that may stand in Misdreavus's way. Slowpoke too is a good teammate, with a large Defense stat and a resistance to Fighting-type moves that can be helpful to Buneary in many situations not to mention Regeneration and Slack Off keeping it alive for a long time. Gligar is great, with a Fighting-type resistance and access to moves like such as Swords Dance, as it can switch in, take barely any damage, then set up for a potential game ending sweep.</p>

<p>Buneary has a fairly
wide physical movepool with access to moves like such as Ice Punch, Fire Punch, Jump Kick, and Drain Punch, which whencombined in conjunction with its high Speed stat gives it great potential for a Choice Band set. Return is the STAB move of choice, hitting anything that doesn't resist or have a high Defense stat hard. Carrying Ice Punch allows you Buneary to super effectively hit common Gligar who would otherwise wall this set. Switcheroo is useful if you can swap over your Choice Band to the right Pokemon, potentially crippling them. Pokemon like such as Nasty Plot Misdreavus are severely disabled crippled by Choice Band. Drain Punch or Jump Kick are useful for hitting Rock- and Steel-types that resist your Buneary's STAB. Drain Punch has the benefit of replenishing some of your Buneary's health, while Jump Kick has a higher Base Power but 95 accuracy.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>The Choice Band combined with
the variety of powerful attacks allows Buneary to hit very hard Choice Band and Buneary's variety of powerful attacks allow it to hit a wide range of Pokemon very hard. Buneary's high Speed stat allows you it to outspeed a lot large percentage of the Little Cup metagame. Having the ability Limber prevents you Buneary from being paralyzed and having your its possible sweep stopped hard in its tracks. You will have to watch out for Will-O-Wisp Misdreavus though, as it will wall you Buneary along with cripple you by burning you crippling it with Will-O-Wisp.</p>

[SET COMMENTS]

<p>Buneary has the moves and stats to pull off a support set adequately. With access to moves such as Encore and Healing Wish, it can be a huge asset to your team. Using Encore with Overhead Throw is a great combination assuming it is set up correctly. Locking your opponent into a stat modifier or an entry hazard will force them to switch, allowing Buneary to use Overhead Throw to further scout the opposing team. Combining this with Stealth Rock and Spikes stacks up easy damage and becomes a stall breaking combo In conjunction with entry hazards, this can actually break through stall. When Buneary gets down to low HP, it can use Healing Wish to sacrifice itself to replenish fully heal one of your its crippled or low health Pokemon weak teammates. Heal Bell is a useful move, as it will rid your team of all status problems. Carrying IcePunch or ThunderPunch assures that you aren't walled by Ghost-types.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>The Evolution Stone is a great new item added to generation 5. It increases both defense stats by 1.5 giving some Pokemon nice bulk. Running it on this support set is very useful as it allows you to take less damage from attacks. Running an Eviolite boosts Buneary's defenses, which is pretty important considering the fact that this is a support set. With the given EVs, you Buneary hits 18 Defense and Special Defense. Running an Adamant nature increases your damage output and goes along well with Buneary's already high Speed stat. To reach the set's full potential with Overhead Throw, it requires some entry hazards like such as Stealth Rock or Spikes. Due to Little Cup Pokemon having a very low HP stat, they won't take as much damage, but this is still enough to drain their HP making them easy to KO later on. When using a set like this, one should keep in mind Buneary's meager defenses, and consider its advantages against Pokemon like such as Togepi.</p>

[Other Options]
<p>Buneary can also run a Choice Scarf set. Even when no EVs are invested, Buneary still hits 22 Speed with a Choice Scarf, in the process outspeeding everything in the metagame and outspeeding, including most of the common Choice Scarf users who usually have 21 Speed. To add to that, this allows you to invest in the offensive stats and bulk. Buneary is still outclassed by other Choice Scarf users. Buneary though, has access to Switcheroo which is very useful, though, save for Switcheroo..</p>

[Checks and Counters]
<p>Fighting-type moves damage Buneary greatly, with below average defenses makes Buneary an easy target of Scraggy and Meditite, who carry Drain Punch. Buneary has below average defensive stats and an unfortunate weaknesss to common Fighting-type attacks, thus making Drain Punch users such as Scraggy and Meditite great checks. Priority users of Mach Punch and Vacuum Wave are a nuisance, going first in all cases rendering Buneary's great Speed stat null and void. Misdreavus is a good check, as it is immune to Normal-type moves and can retaliate with Will-O-Wisp or set up a Nasty Plot, but must watch out for Choice Scarf as it will lock Misdreavus into a setup move and force to switch out. Pawniard is a good counter, resisting Normal-type attacks, and can come and set up a Swords Dance to sweep your team, but must watch out for either the Flame Orb or the Choice Scarf. Cottonee is also a counter to Buneary, as it has access to priority Encore and Substitute, which will force Buneary to switch out often. Though, it must watch out for Buneary carrying the Choice Scarf However, it must watch out for a Choice Scarf set, which can outspeed and KO it.</p>

All right, Buneary needs to change moves now that Gligar is banned. I'd recommend exchanging Ice Punch for ThunderPunch, as it hits all Ghost-types in Little Cup other than the extremely rare Golett at least neutrally.
