Unfezant
[Overview]
- Horrible movepool
- Lackluster stats
- Outclassed by Braviary, Swellow, and even Dodrio
[SET]
name: Tailwind Support
move 1: Tailwind
move 2: Hypnosis
move 3: U-turn
move 4: Return
item: Focus Sash
ability: Super Luck
nature: Adamant
evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
- Puts opponent to sleep, sets up Tailwind, and U-turns out to a teammate
- Focus Sash allows Unfeazant to survive a hit and do its job versus a faster opponent or if Hypnosis misses
- Return is its only viable STAB move
- An Adamant nature is used since Unfezant hits a nice speed tier with it, outrunning Jolly Braviary by one point
- Unreliable since this set relies on Hypnosis hitting and the opponent sleeping for numerous turns
- Tailwind itself is not very good as it only lasts for four turns
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- Taunt
- Jolly
- Teammates should appreciate Tailwind support (Samurott, Exeggutor, Zangoose, Sawk)
[Other Options]
- Wish, Roost, Morning Sun
- Choice items
- Toxic
- Weather support
- Pluck and Quick Attack are it's only other viable offensive moves
[Checks and Counters]
- Anything with good physical bulk will wall it
- Lum Berry Golem doesn't care about Hypnosis and can bypass Focus Sash with Rock Blast
- Electabuzz takes a large amount from Return, but is faster and has Vital Spirit to negate Hypnosis.
- Haunter and Offensive Misdreavus can set up a free Substitute on this set. The latter can also Taunt to render Unfezant useless
