Emboar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Reckless
EVs: 248 HP / 216 SpD / 44 Spe
Sassy / Careful Nature
- Fire Blast / Flare Blitz
- Sucker Punch
- Heavy Slam
- Head Smash
This little piggy went to Monotype! Emboar finds a spot on Fighting teams thanks to its great bulk, Fairy-type neutrality, and immunity to burn. Fire Blast incinerates Skarmory and Amoonguss, which otherwise prove to be annoying for Fighting. However, Flare Blitz can be used in order to take advantage of Emboar's higher Attack stat and Reckless ability. Sucker Punch is a great priority option that allows Emboar to deal with faster foes, such as Latios and Dragapult. Heavy Slam lets it quickly dispose of Flutter Mane as well as 2HKOing Hatterene, all while tanking their Fairy-type moves. Head Smash sends Volcarona, a problematic foe for Fighting teams, right back to the basement of Relic Castle. 44 Speed EVs with a Sassy nature allow Emboar to outspeed uninvested Iron Hands and Galarian Weezing, while a Careful nature allows it to outspeed Skarmory. Great Tusk makes an excellent teammate for Emboar, as entry hazard removal is key in ensuring Emboar can switch in multiple times. Scrafty also makes for a great teammate, as not only can it switch in on Psychic-type moves that would threaten Emboar, but it has a much easier time setting up once the opposing Fairy-types have been dealt with.
