[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
A Assault Vest set with Regenerator and full investment in special defense can even take on some of the most powerful special attackers,but without strong offesive pressure or the treath of a CM sweep its often enough a sitting duck and will only tank its most of the time.
Checks and Counters
===================
- Thanks to its low speed Reuniclus if very prone to powerful attackers that can hit it for super effective damage.
- Bug Types: Mega Scizor is mostly unfazed by anything Reuniclus can throw at it and can Roost of any damage recieved or just nails it with Bug Bite. Buzzwhole, Pheromosa and Heracross can check or revenge kill it if its out of Trick Room.
- Dark Types: Mega Sableye completly walls any set since its immune to Psyshock and Focus Blast and takes neutral damage from Shadow Ball, Bisharp and Tyranitar can come in aynthing but Focus Blast and proceed to cripple Reuniclus with their powerful Dark STABs
- Ghosts: Aloan Marowak can switch into Focus Blast for free and tanks a Psyhock quite well thanks to its decent defense stat, but its outspeed under Trick Romm and cant take a Shadow Ball.
- Steels: Jirachie and Metagross can take anything form te CM set while offensive Celesteela can deal with the TR set.
- Unaware and Phazers:Unaware Clefable walls the CM set,and phazers like Skarmory or Hippowdon can tank a hit or two and Whirlwind it out.
