########
name: mean burd
move 1: Boomburst
move 2: Chatter
move 3: Nasty Plot
move 4: Substitute
ability: Keen Eye
item: Leftovers / Silk Scarf
evs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
nature: Timid
Moves
========
- Substitute allows Chatot to take advantage of the switches that it forces. It also allows it to avoid status.
- Nasty Plot allows Chatot to break through walls much easier, which is useful since those are the kind of Pokemon this set often deals with.
- Boomburst is Chatot's main source of damage, hitting most threats for unresisted damage.
- Chatter is Chatot's Flying-type STAB attack, mostly useful for hitting Ghost-types that are immune to Boomburst and for the lovely confuse chance.
- Heat Wave is mostly used to take down Steel-types.
Set Details
========
- Odd number for HP stat cause it to take less damage from Stealth Rock and from Substitute.
- Max Speed and max Special Attack to take on opposing threats better.
- Timid allows it to outspeed base 90 Speed Pokemon such as Timid Lilligant and Jolly Zangoose.
- Leftovers to mitigate the damage done by Substitute and to help keep Chatot alive.
- If you're not running Substitute, then Leftovers is not as necessary. In this case, Silk Scarf can help boost the damage that Boomburst does while still allowing Chatot to use its coverage moves.
Usage Tips
========
- Clear the opposing team of Steel-types, Rock-types, and Rotom before wasting your time in setting up Substitute and Nasty Plot.
- Using Encore on a Psychic-type attack and then switching into a Dark-type, or something along those lines, can be useful for helping other Pokemon set up.
Team Options
========
- Rapid Spin and Defog users can be useful for keeping the field clear of Stealth Rock, which Chatot doesn't appreciate.
- The lack of coverage moves leaves Chatot unable to break through many Steel- and Rock-types, such as Probopass. Fighting-types can be helpful for breaking through these walls.

move 1: Boomburst
move 2: Chatter
move 3: U-turn
move 4: Hidden Power Water / Hidden Power Grass
ability: Keen Eye
item: Choice Specs
evs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
nature: Timid
Moves
========
- Boomburst is Chatot's main STAB attack and is one of the easiest moves in the game to spam.
- Chatter is Chatot's Flying-type STAB attack and is mostly used for its 100% confusion rate. It is also helpful for hitting Ghost-types that are immune to Boomburst.
- U-turn helps to get out of tough situations and allows you to get the advantage if the opponent switches out when you switch Chatot in. Plus, it deals a solid chunk of damage to Pokemon such as Malamar and Exeggutor.
- Heat Wave can be used to break through Steel-types which resist its main STAB attacks.
Set Details
========
- Odd HP stat allows you to switch into more Stealth Rocks
- Max Speed and Special Attack to deal the most damages
- Timid Choice Specs has an ensured 2HKO on Careful 252 HP / 252 SpD Malamar and ensures the 2HKO on 4 SpD Musharna with.
Usage Tips
========
- Refrain from becoming locked into Boomburst until opposing Ghost-types have been dispatched.
- Choice Specs acts as a wallbreaker. Use this to take down bulky walls and pave the way for another sweeper to come in and clean up.
Team Options
========
- As Chatot will often switch in and switch out with U-turn, a Rapid Spin user such as Sandslash can keep the field clear of entry hazards. Sandslash is also useful for clearing out Rock-types that resists Boomburst and Chatter.
- Pursuit users are useful for clearing out Ghost-types from the opposing team.
- Pokemon that carry Fighting- or Ground-type attacks that can take on Probopass are extremely useful, as Chatot has serious trouble dealing with it.
Other Options
########
- Hidden Power Ground hits Probopass while also hitting Rhydon, but Heat Wave hits most other Steel-types for more damage than it can.
- Taunt is useful with Chatot's great Speed to cripple most walls.
- Tailwind can be used to increase the Speed of its team for five turns, which is especially helpful considering that at +2 Speed, Chatot is able to outspeed every relevant threat in the tier, including most Choice Scarf and boosting Pokemon.
- Defog, but outclassed by other Pokemon and doesn't want to give up a moveslot.
- Roost
- Encore allows you to take advantage of Substitute. An opponent that uses a status move, sets an entry hazard, or attempts to set up can be locked into that move while you Boomburst it at your leisure.
Checks & Counters
########
**Rock-types**: Rhydon and Archeops, especially defensive variants, can come in on most any attack from Chatot without much fear and KO it with their STAB attacks, although Rhydon is 2HKOed by non-Choice Specs Hidden Power Grass and Archeops can't repeatedly come in on Boomburst.
**Steel-types**: Probopass can easily tank any of Chatot's attacks and OHKOes 50% of the time with Power Gem or 2HKOes with Volt Switch.
**Rotom**: Rotom resists both of Chatot's STAB attacks and sit at the same Base 91 Speed, making them threatening adversaries to come up against.
**Revenge Killers**: Chatot's poor Speed leaves it vulnerable to many revenge killers Choice Specs Timid Typhlosion and Archeops all outspeed Chatot, and OHKO Chatot thanks to its poor defenses.
**Speed Control**: Although Chatot's Speed isn't incredible, it is dependent on what it does have. As such, Speed altering moves, such as Thunder Wave, can be crippling for Chatot's presence.
