NU Meowstic-M

[Sapphire.]

QC Checks: Soulgazer, scorpdestroyer, Dat Blast
GP Checks: fleurdyleurse, horyzhnz

Overview
########

Meowstic has awesome support options that, when coupled with Prankster, make it a great addition to hyper offensive teams. However, Taunt stops it right in its tracks and renders it setup fodder. Furthermore, the common Defog clears Meowstic's dual screens. Meowstic faces stiff competition from Uxie as a dual screener because it has higher bulk and access to moves such as U-turn and Memento. Meowstic is also very weak offensively.


Support

name: Support
move 1: Reflect
move 2: Light Screen
move 3: Yawn / Thunder Wave
move 4: Psychic / Psyshock
ability: Prankster
item: Light Clay
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
nature: Bold


Moves
========

Reflect and Light Screen are the most important moves on the set, and they halve the damage taken from physical and special attacks, respectively. This allows Meowstic-M to support its teammates by letting them set up with ease. The third moveslot is a toss up. Yawn allows Meowstic-M to force some switches, and lets it set up more easily, though Thunder Wave cripples foes and its effects are instant. The last moveslot is also a matter of preference. Psychic hits harder most of the time, though Psyshock can be useful for getting past Pokemon such as Dragalge and Hariyama. Yawn can also be used in this moveslot as it allows you to be much more selective of what foe gets inflicted with what, and Meowstic-M is very weak without investment. However, if you choose to opt for Yawn over an attacking move, it will make Meowstic-M very susceptible to Taunt.


Set Details
========

The given EV spread maximizes Meowstic-M's ability to take physical hits and allows it to set up more easily. However, a specially defensive spread of 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD can be used to allow Meowstic-M switch into powerful attackers such as Magmortar with more ease. Light Clay increases the amount of turns Reflect and Light Screen are up. A Bold nature is used to further increase Meowstic-M's physical bulk.


Usage Tips
========

Use Thunder Wave or Yawn often to cripple opposing Pokemon; this serves as an emergency check to dangerous threats. In addition, use Reflect and Light Screen often to support your team's setup sweepers. If you opt for Yawn, after setting up dual screens, Meowstic-M can force an opposing Pokemon out.


Team Options
========

Meowstic-M is a great choice on hyper offensive teams as it is the only Pokemon in the tier with both Prankster and dual screens. Setup sweepers such as Linoone, Gorebyss, and Klinklang really appreciate the support Meowstic-M provides.


Other Options
########

Meowstic-M can use other moves such as Toxic and Torment, though Thunder Wave is more useful in many cases and Torment is somewhat gimmicky. An offensive or Calm Mind set can also be used, but it is highly outclassed by the likes of Uxie and Mesprit. Safeguard is another interesting choice, preventing your team from status for a few turns. Meowstic-M can also be used as a weather setter, having access to priority Sunny Day and Rain Dance, though it is rather outclassed in such roles by Liepard and Volbeat, as they both have access to Encore and U-turn. Trick can also be used to switch items with the foe.


Checks & Counters
########

**Taunt** Taunt users such as Liepard stop Meowstic-M right in its tracks and render it setup fodder.

**Defog users** Defog users such as Togetic can get rid of dual screens in an instant.

**Spiritomb** Spiritomb ignores dual screens thanks to Infiltrator, has access to Pursuit, and some variants do not care about status because of Rest + Sleep Talk.

 

[soulgazer]

Sapphire. I would slash Yawn first with Thunder Wave, and Psychic over Psyshock.

Also Xatu doesn't really beat Meowstic-M. If anything, it's set up fodder lol

 

[CanadianWifier]

echoing what SG said, though I would even suggest yawn over a psychic move. it makes it more susceptible to taunt, but taunt is rather rare in NU, and having both status moves allows you to be much more selective at what gets inflicted with what.

 

[mikelos]

is the female version useful it has Competitive

 

[soulgazer]

Sapphire.

qc 1/3

 

[scorpdestroyer]

Add Spiritomb to checks and counters because it has Infiltrator to ignore screens and Pursuit.

Mention Calm Mind in OO

Mention in overview that Uxie gives it competition as a dual screener

Also, don't state that Psyshock gets past Audino because with no investment it can't really do much. (4 SpA Meowstic Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Audino: 84-100 (20.4 - 24.3%) -- possible 6HKO after Leftovers recovery). Change it to something like Dragalge or Hariyama

I trust you'll do these, so QC 2/3

 

[Blast]

Don't bother mentioning its SpA as a pro in the Overview. If anything, it should be in the cons, because an uninvested Meowstic is piss weak and won't do anything to non-Psychic weak mons.

I've used Thunder Wave + Yawn on the same set before and it works fine too so I'd mention that somewhere in Moves.

Trick in OO.

Do this and I'll stamp Sapphire.

 

[Blast]

Just saying but now you have to get all three QC checks before you write it I'll still check it ofc but keep that in mind for next time n_n

Anyway in Moves you don't need to explain what Reflect and Light Screen do because everyone knows that. Instead you need to mention what they're for: supporting teammates with extra bulk to set up easier.

A specially defensive spread can go in Set Details too if you need it to pivot into special attackers better like Magmortar.

Usage Tips need some beefing up. Mention that after setting up Screens you can Yawn and force something out to act like a pseudo U-turn. You can also note that Prankster Yawn / TWave acts as an emergency check to threatening sweepers.

In OO don't say weather isn't good in this meta, weather is excellent in this meta lol. Main reason it's not a main set is because Liepard and Volbeat do it better thanks to Encore and U-turn.
