UU Galvantula (QC 3/3) (GP 2/2)

K this is almost ready but one last thing. Mention how Galvantula faces competition from both Shuckle AND Smeargle as a Sticky Web user, as these two have a lot of other support options to help them get the job done: maintaining sticky web on the field. however, galv has the superior speed stat and like calloflochie mentioned it can beat most spinners and defoggers.

However, it is not without its flaws. It is very frail defensively, with bad 70/60/60 defenses. It also faces extreme competition from Shuckle, which has also has access to Sticky Web as well as Stealth Rock and Sturdy, which almost always guarantees it a hazard set up. Nevertheless, Galvantula hstands the soupport capabilities as well as then offensive potenStialcky to Webe a good msembtter of your team.

move 2: Thunder
move 3: Bug Buzz
move 4: Thunder Wave / Energy Ball / Volt Switch
ability: Compound Eyes
item: Focus Sash
evs: 4252 SpDA / 2524 SpAD / 252 Spe
nature: Timid

Moves
========
This set is a standard lead set. Sticky Web provides the amazing utility of slowing down grounded opponents that switch in, usuallynd giving yours thea most important moves aon the speed advantage. Thunder is a powerful STAB that has 91% accuracy with Compound Eyes. Bug Buzz is a gsecoondary STAB move, that can hits targets twhatich resist Thunder. Thunder Wave is a good option to use in the fourth slot as it provides the utility of crippling Pokemon immune to Sticky Web, or those who are fast enough to ignore the speed drop, as well as Pokemon that use Speed boosting moves such as Cloyster. Energy Ball is also another option that hits Swampert and Ground-types in general super effectively, which is very helpful. Volt Switch can also be used instead to do some damage and pivot out.

Set Details
========
252 Speed EVs with a Timid nature maximizes Galvantula's Speed, allowing it to almost always outspeed opposing leads. 252 Special Attack EVs are used to allow Galvantula to hit hard with STAB Thunder and Bug Buzz. AltThough rare, 4 Special Defense EVs give Porygon2 and Porygon-Z the wrong Download boost, which can be very helpful. A Focus Sash is necessary to guarantee setting up Sticky Web. Compound Eyes is needed to boost Galvantula's Thunder accuracy to 91%.

Usage Tips
========
Unless you're facing a Prankster Taunt user, or if you can OHKO the opposing lead, Sticky Web is always the best move to be used first. Thunder, Bug Buzz, and if applicable, Energy Ball should all be used to cause damage after. Thunder Wave can be used to cripple opposing threats, while Volt Switch should be used to build momentum and pivot out.

Team Options
========
Average speed Pokemon such as Heracross or Kyruem can opt to not run a Scarf and benefit from the Sticky Web Speed drop on the opposing team. The best Pokemon to benefit from this are Nidoking, Choice Band Flygon, Honchkrow, and non-Scarf Hydreigon. SpinblGhockst-typers are also great teammates as they can block Rapid Spin whisch awould threat tmo Galvantula'se Sticky Web.

Other Options
########
Galvantula doesn't have an expansive movepool. Choice Specs is an option on Galvantula, as it can hit very hard with STAB Thunders and Bug Buzz, as well as still pack Sticky Web, by using it and immediately switching out. Hidden Power Fire or Hidden Power Ice are also viable options for more coverage, abut thave costvery lofw base fpouwerth slot. Life Orb can be used to being able to switch moves and usetill Thundaver with ncrea bigsed bopostwer, but Galvantula would really likes aon Focus Sash. Giga Drain can be used instead of Energy Ball, but without STAB cait won't bedo seen doing mucgh damage to OHKO Swampert. Lastly, Sucker Punch can be used in a form of priority.

Checks & Counters
########
**Taunt** Prankster Taunt users, such as Whimsicott and Sableye, shut down Galvantula's only niche. Azelf also naturally outspeeds with Taunt, but huates mtaking it a coBug Bunter.zz

**Hazard Removal** If Galvantula isn't switched in, Defoggers such as Mew and Aerodactyl basically make Galvantula dead weight on a team, so they are a huge threat to Galvantula.

Spinners are also a big threat, whic
**Ch makes spinbloickers good team options for Galvantula.
**Scarfers** Choice Scarf Darmanitan or Scarf Flygon can 2HKO Galvantula quickly. Most Scarfers can also threaten with a STAB move, as Galvantula is very frail.

**Multi-hitting moves** Multi-hitting moves from Pokemon such as Cloyster break the Focus Sash and can potentially OHKO Galvantula after it sets up Sticky Web, which stops it from being able to attack after setting up Sticky Web
