Set Details
===================
Revenankh has the potential to be a really strong wallbreaker and potent late-game cleaner, sporting an unresisted STAB combination and dual STAB priority. Its Speed, unfortunately, is quite poor, and its typing leaves it susceptible to the offensive moves of common defensive Pokemon such as Tornadus-T and Tapu Fini. Triage Drain Punch is an extremely useful tool, allowing it to revenge kill Weavile, Zeraora, and Kyurem. Poltergeist helps Revenankh break through many of its checks such as Tapu Lele, Tornadus-T and Zapdos, dealing a hefty amount of damage to all of them, especially after a Bulk Up. Shadow Sneak is a good way for Revenankh to pick off weakened Dragapult and Blacephalon. These EVs ensure that Revenankh is never 2HKOed by Clefable's Moonblast, cannot be OHKOed by Choice Scarf Timid Tapu Lele after a Bulk Up, and guarantee that Spell Tag-boosted Poltergeist into Shadow Sneak will KO pivot Zapdos after using Bulk Up. It also guarantees a 2HKO on Corviknight after a boost. 20 Speed EVs allow Revenankh to outspeed neutral nature Corviknight.
As Revenankh is checked by most physical walls, it requires heavy support. Rillaboom and Melmetal can help overwhelm checks such as Zapdos and Tomohawk while also immediately threatening Tapu Fini. Healing Wish Jumbao, Heal Bell Clefable, and Tapu Fini are all fantastic partners, being able to protect Revenankh against status. Pivoting is essential, as Revenankh can't come in on too many threats. Dragapult can provide that support for Revenankh, pivoting into and dealing with Heatran and Colossoil for it. Krilowatt and Zeraora can both immediately threaten Toxapex, Tornadus-T, and Arghonaut and use Volt Switch to bring Revenankh in safely. Mandibuzz can keep opposing Ghost-types such as Dragapult and Pajantom in check and pivot into Revenankh. Choice item users like Tapu Fini and Blacephalon provide an alternative method of item disruption, seeing as Knock Off support is counterproductive.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Checks and Counters
===================
**Bulky Flying-types**: Zapdos, Tornadus-T, and Tomohawk can all survive any hit from Revenankh and threaten it with Hurricane.
**Bulky Water-types**: Toxapex can utilize Haze to remove Revenankh's boosts while stomaching even boosted Poltergeist, while Arghonaut's Unaware makes it an excellent answer to it regardless of boosts. Tapu Fini can outspeed and 2HKO with Moonblast.
**Fairy-types**: Clefable can take on unboosted Revenankh and 2HKO with Moonblast, while offensive Fairy-types like Jumbao and Choice Specs Tapu Lele can revenge kill it, but they must be wary of switching into Poltergeist.
**Status**: Toxic from defensive Landorus-T and Will-O-Wisp from Astrolotl can cripple Revenankh and limit its sweeping potential.
