Unsurprising which 3 got the bans, but I wonder what the first suspect will be? Chien-Pao is just about controversial enough to warrant attention, maybe Gholdengo now that the bigger offenders are gone and people will probably direct their anger fully towards it?
Either way, another mon I think might see some good usage/improvement:
Iron Moth @ Booster Energy
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 96 HP / 252 SpA / 160 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Agility/Flame Charge
- Fiery Dance/Flamethrower/Fire Blast
- Discharge/Energy Ball/Tera Blast
- Sludge Wave/Toxic Spikes
Fun little set to try out, a bit more HP investment to let it get up, with booster as item of choice for boosting SpA over Speed. Flying lets you potentially setup on Tusk/Chomp/average EQ user, while the last slot you can also potentially use as a lead bait to throw out T Spikes since Sludge Wave isn't as needed in this meta with the overall lack of fairies. Probably could also just slot in another coverage move that you didn't on slot 3 anyway, but I figured this set might work a little in the absence of Chi-Yu for another special wallbreaker that readily slots into sun teams.
Another fun set I personally use on my own sun team:
Iron Moth @ Assault Vest
Ability: Quark Drive
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 76 SpA / 180 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fiery Dance
- Sludge Wave
- Energy Ball
- U-turn
This kinda really relies on sun to boost Fiery Dance, while also hoping for Fiery Dance to proc, but AV is a really useful way to sit in on Gholdengo and a few other special spammers after tera-ing to deal with sun's checks like Dozo or Garg whie also having a quick pivot opton in U-Tun. If anyone knows how to EV this for a non-sun team, I can see this set getting some traction with a few tweaks.
