Dedenne

[Anty]

[OVERVIEW]
Dedenne is a poor Pokemon in the PU metagame and is not worth using over other Electric-types such as Raichu and Zebstrika, which have better Speed, more power, and better coverage. Although Dedenne has Fairy as its secondary typing, it lacks a special Fairy-type STAB move and lacks the bulk to utilize any resistances it provides. Its coverage consists of an Electric-type STAB move, Grass Knot, and Hidden Power, which means it struggles to get past Pokemon that resist Electric such as Stunfisk and Roselia. The only niche Dedenne has lies in its ability, Cheek Pouch; however, most Pokemon can OHKO or 2HKO it, meaning that the HP recovery is often useless.

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

Using Substitute in conjunction with Petaya Berry allows Dedenne to reliably obtain a Special Attack boost in order to try damaging the opposing team. Recycle allows Dedenne to repeat its shenanigans multiple times due to Cheek Pouch recovery. Thunderbolt is its strongest STAB move, and Grass Knot is its best coverage move, hitting certain Electric-resistant Pokemon such as Piloswine and Golem.

Set Details
========

Dedenne does not get much use from investment in bulk, whereas with Speed investment and a Timid nature it can outspeed Pokemon such as Dodrio, and Special Attack investment allows it to deal some damage. Cheek Pouch along with Petaya Berry lets it recover health while boosting its Special Attack.

Usage Tips
========

Dedenne's main aim is to continuously boost its Special Attack while remaining at a high enough HP to possibly take a hit, so it should try to set up Substitutes on Pokemon it forces out, such as Pelipper, Dodrio, and Relicanth. Dedenne should keep using Substitute until its Petaya Berry activates, and from there it should either use Recycle to get more boosts or attack if it is threatened by its foe. Often one Petaya Berry boost is enough to threaten weakened teams, so Dedenne would rather be behind a Substitute than keep boosting. It should be wary against Roselia, which can use Dedenne as Spikes fodder without consequence, so in that position it would rather switch out even if it is behind a Substitute.

Team Options
========

Dedenne works best on offensive teams that can pressure Pokemon that wall it and weaken the opponent's team for Dedenne to get KOs. Water- and Grass-type Pokemon such as Floatzel and Roselia can pressure Ground-types with double switches, and the latter can also set up Spikes to help pressure most of Dedenne's switch-ins. Fire- and Flying-types such as Rapidash and Dodrio pressure Grass-type Pokemon, while Dedenne can check Water-types for the former. Ground-types such as Stunfisk and Piloswine can check Electric-types, which can switch in on Dedenne for free, while also setting up Stealth Rock. Toxic Spikes from Pokemon such as Roselia can help wear down foes while Dedenne stalls with Substitute and Recycle.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Dedenne has an alright support movepool including Nuzzle and Super Fang; however, it lacks the bulk to use them effectively. Eerie Impulse and Charm can make up for Dedenne's poor bulk by lowering the foe's offensive stats, but that makes Dedenne passive and Substitute fodder. Hidden Power Ice is Dedenne's only other offensive option, and it can hit Grass-types such as Jumpluff as well as some Ground-types, but most targets can take several hits from it.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Type Advantage**: Dedenne cannot touch Grass-types such as Roselia and Gogoat, which can set up Spikes and Bulk Up, respectively, and eventually KO Dedenne. Ground-types such as Stunfisk and Piloswine are immune to Electric and can OHKO Dedenne with their Ground-type STAB moves, but the latter dislikes Grass Knot. Dedenne struggles against most other Pokemon that resist Electric too, including Zebstrika, which is immune to Grass Knot, and Fraxure, which can set up with Dragon Dance.

**Defensive Pokemon**: Specially bulky Pokemon such as Grumpig and Lickilicky can wall Dedenne even if it has multiple Special Attack boosts and can deal heavy damage to it with their STAB moves.

**Faster Pokemon**: Faster Pokemon such as Floatzel and Rapidash can easily KO Dedenne after a little chip damage if it does not have a Substitute up. Zebstrika and Raichu can take Dedenne on even if it has set up a Substitute.

 

[TONE]

HP Ice can make a mention in moves or OO for Grass-types, but it's your call. Otherwise looks good. You can send this to GP.

Usage Tips
========

Dedenne's main aim is to continuously boost its Special Attack while remaining at a high enough HP to possibly take a hit, so it should try to set up Substitutes on Pokemon it forces out such as Pelipper, Dodrio, and Relicanth. Dedenne should keep using Substituteing till until it reaches its Petya Berry and from there it should either Recycle to get more boosts, or attack if it is threatened by its foe. Often one Petya Berry boosts is enough to threatened weakened teams, so Dedenne would rather be behind a substitute than keep boosting. It should be weary against Roselia, (AC) which can use Dedenne as Spikes fodder without consequence, so in that position it would rather switch out (add space) even if it is behind a Substitute.
