Overview
########
Heliolisk has a great base 109 Speed stat, outspeeding With a base of 109 Speed, Heliolisk outspeeds (Eh pretty much subjective. You can change it or keep it the same if you like.) a lot of common Pokemon such as Infernape, Galvantula, and Cobalion. It also has an impeccable movepool, boasting moves such as Surf, Grass Knot, Focus Blast, Thunderbolt, Hyper Voice, Volt Switch, and Dark Pulse. It Heliolisk also has Dry Skin, giving which provides it an immunity to Water-type moves, (RC) allowing and therefore allows it to threaten a multitude of Water-type Pokemon in UU. It also has a nice immunity to Ghost-type moves, meaning it can switch into Choice-locked Chandelure and nab a free Volt Switch.
While Heliolisk has 2 nice two immunities and a near-impeccable colorful movepool, it is weak to common attacking types in UU: such as Ground and Fighting. This is also exacerbated by the fact that it has pitiful 62 / 52 physical bulk, meaning even resisted physical hits are going to take a chunk of Heliolisk's HP. It must also use Life Orb, (AC) which can wear it down even more quicklyer as if it wants to take advantage of its coverage moves.

item: Life Orb
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
nature: Timid
Moves
========
Volt Switch is a STAB move that provides easy momentum for Heliolisk. and is a great STAB move. Hyper Voice is a decent secondary STAB move as well, hitting all Ground-types Hyper Voice is a decent secondary STAB attack as well, hitting all Ground-types as well as striking targets through Substitute. (It's crucial that the reader know that Hyper Voice can hit through Substitute.) as well as being a nice, secondary STAB. Grass Knot is for bulky Ground-types,(AC) such as Hippowdon and Swampert,(AC) that may attempt to switch into Heliolisk's STAB moves. that may switch into Heliolisk's STAB moves such as Hippowdon and Swampert. Thunderbolt is a reliable STAB move and secures the 2HKO on Suicune. Surf can be used instead of Grass Knot, as it hits Nidoqueen and Nidoking along with Rotom-H for major super effective damage. Focus Blast may also be used if Hydreigon is a problem and if you want to hit certain Steels Dark- and Steel-types, such as Hydreigon and Mega Aggron a lot harder. Focus Blast also nails many special walls, such as Umbreon, Snorlax, and Blissey, harder than any other move Heliolisk has.
Set Details
========
Maximum Special Attack and Speed EVs to allow Heliolisk to outspeed many threats and to hit as hard and as fast as possible. Life Orb boosts the power of all its moves attacks while giving Heliolisk the ability allowing freedom to switch between its moves.,(remove period and add comma) It can opt for Choice Specs but Choice Specs can be another item of choice if it wants more initial power at the cost of not switching between moves. A Timid nature allows Heliolisk to outspeed base 108 Pokemon, such as Infernape, Galvantula, Virizion, and Cobalion. Dry Skin is used to allow Heliolisk to switch in with impunity on Water-types and threaten them with a Life Orb-boosted (add hyphen) STAB Thunderbolt.
Usage Tips
========
This set is used to switch in with ease on Water-types only carrying STAB moves, such as Crocune, while threatening the opponent's team thanks to its outstanding coverage. This set enjoys being brought in on a Pokemon who has fainted or a slow Volt Switch / or U-turn as Heliolisk cannot take many hits. This set enjoys being brought in after a teammate has fainted or with a slow Volt Switch or U-turn rather than hard switching in, as Heliolisk cannot take many hits.
Team Options
========
Fire-types particularly enjoy Heliolisk's ability to absorb Water-type moves while also threatening them Water-types back with its STAB Electric-type attacks. Entei is a particularly good partner as it provides serves as a very good wallbreaker once bulky Water-types are worn down or gone. Flying-types work as well as they can take all of Heliolisk's weaknesses, being resistant to Fighting while being immune to Ground. Flying-types make good partners as well, as they can take all of Heliolisk's weaknesses; they are resistant to Fighting-type attacks while also taking no damage from Ground-type attacks. Crobat is particularly good as it can form a VoltTurn core with Heliolisk, providing easy momentum for the team. Other U-turn users, (RC) such as Mega Beedrill and Mienshao can also be good partners and also form an infamous effective VoltTurn core. Rain support from the likes of Whimsicott or Tornadus can prove very helpful, (AC) as Dry Skin essentially negates the recoil of Life Orb. Heliolisk can also opt to run Thunder Thunder can be an option for Heliolisk to use over Thunderbolt as it gains 100% accuracy under the rain and hits a lot harder.
Other Options
########
Glare is a great option, allowing Heliolisk to cripple Pokemon that may try to switch in such as Ground-types. However, Heliolisk has amazing coverage and would much rather take advantage of it than trying that to try and cripple the opponent's Pokemon. the enemy. Choice Scarf can be a nice compliment, allowing allows Heliolisk to outspeed a lot of common Choice Scarf users, such as Mienshao and Infernape, (AC) while also getting the jump on outspeeding Crobat and Mega Aerodactyl. Substitute can be a nice move for Heliolisk, allowing it to avoid status and it can gain HP fairly easily thanks to Dry Skin. However, opting for Leftovers over Life Orb means Leftovers can be used as another item of choice over Life Orb. Without Life Orb, however, Heliolisk loses a lot of power and cannot 2HKO Suicune. Signal Beam is another option, hitting Grass-types harder than any move Heliolisk has. for super effective damage. However, most Grass-types in UU are neutral to Bug thanks to their secondary typing, such as Chesnaught and Roserade.
Checks & Counters
########
**Special Walls**: Special walls such as Florges and Blissey can take tank any move Heliolisk has to offer and proceed to Wish stall Heliolisk or status it via Toxic inflict. inflict a status move such as Toxic to poison it.
**Calm Mind Users**: Calm Mind users, such as Reuniclus, can boost up very easily and Recover the damage they take off any damage they has taken from Life Orb Heliolisk, meaning they can eventually overpower Heliolisk. which Reuniclus can take advantage of in setting up Calm Mind.
**Physical Attackers**: With such frail physical Defense, any hard hitting physical attacker, (RC) such as Entei or Mienshao, (RC) can OHKO Heliolisk.
**Priority**: Most forms of priority, bar Aqua Jet, are going to hit Heliolisk hard thanks to its pitiful Defense stat bulk and its weakness to Mach Punch and Vacuum Wave, two common priority moves in UU.
