Suck it Zeus
[SET]Why this deserves to be on-site:
- Powerful even without Life Orb
- Volt Switch keeps momentum
- Still 2HKOes all Arceus formes with some prior damage (a common reality since they can't use Leftovers)
- Choice Scarf Kyogre thinks it can kill well Thunder it
- 93.56% - 110.52%
- Dispatches of Kyogre which is important
- Has excellent coverage options
- Defeats practically every wether starter
- Unique typing gives it ample amount of times to get in
- 101 Spe is a really good Spe in Ubers for a Choice Scarf user
- A stronger Volt Switch is a reason to use it over Zekrom
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Thunder
move 2: Volt Switch
move 3: Focus Blast
move 4: Hidden Power [Flying] / Grass Knot / Hidden Power [Ice]
item: Choice Scarf
ability: Volt Absorb
nature: Timid
[SET COMMENTS]
- Thunder is obvious choice of STAB
- Volt Switch gains momentum
- Focus Blast is useful for Steel-types like Ferrothorn and Darkrai
- Grass Knot is great and hits most of Ubers for high damage such as Groudon, Arceus-Water, and Kabutops
- Hidden Power [Ice] fills the BoltBeam combo, which lets it excel in revenge killing in the Uber metagame
- Hidden Power [Flying] for Grassceus and Bugceus and rare Fightingceus, laos hits Shaymin for OHKO iirc
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- This set is weaker than the Life Orb set, so play to its advantages
- Teammates are Pokemon that can remove Ground-immunities and wall faster Choice Scarfers like Terrakion. Giratina does this especially well.
- Modest can be used for more power, but Timid is important because outpacing Dragon Dance Rayquaza, Choice Scarf Palkia, Choice Scarf Dialga, Choice Scarf Rayquaza, Choice Scarf Kyogre, and the rare Choice Scarf Groudon is important
- Volt Absorb is a cool ability to switch into Kyogre's Thunder and Thudurs-I Thunder's
