Hello my friends.
After getting reqs I wanna share with you one set on a mon I consider to be an incredible supporter for offensive teams to check Rain, Trick Room, lure fat grasses reliably and sweep games with 1-2 some predictions. It is amazing against fat cores, forces switches and also works well against Stall matchups if you do some prework. Who is that mon?
Thundurus @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Flying]
If you have troubles getting past AV Tang, Ferrothorn and especially Mega Venusaur, this Set will be your best friend.
First of all the EVs:
Nothing really to explain. Speedtier is amazing and special attack investment is important to break all the fat stuff that plagues our metagame.
Leftovers are for longevity and to make your opponent believe "this Thundurus is weak and cannot kill my fat Grassmon".
The idea behind the Set is pretty simple. Substitute is a great move especially if you predict your opponent to double/U-turn. It dodges nasty moves from Amoonguss, Ferrothorn, Mega Sableye etc. You can even attempt to Subspam against Scarf Landots or Dugtrios Edge if you have to. It also allows you to stall out Trick Room and Rain Teams, an offensive teams nightmare. I cannot even count how many games I have lost to fucking Trick Room Magearna.
You can try to outpredict Mega Mawiles Sucker Punch as well who is always a problem.
Nasty Plot boosts your special attack but if you reveal Leftovers, fat grasses like AV Tang and Mega Venusaur stay in even at +2 thinking they can eat HP Ice easily. You can see in the replays below how well you can lure them for your teammates to sweep.
When using this Set make sure your partners enjoy fat grasses gone. Good partners are:
CM Tapu Fini (Thundurus kills Mvenu for you or even AV Tang)
Z Belly Drum Azu (Mvenu byebye)
Offensive Zygarde (AV Tang gone? Zygarde sweeps)
Manaphy
