* Scream Tail's bulk, Speed and diverse support options make it a great all-in-one Trick Room support Pokemon.
* **Misty Explosion** : Misty Explosion may limit Scream Tail's offensive reach, but it's key for bringing in sweepers safely after setting Trick Room.
* **Encore**: Encore is great at disrupting foes trying to set up in front of Scream Tail.
* **Trick Room Sweepers**: Ursaluna-B is the most popular partner for Trick Room setups, but other semi-slow sweepers like Basculegion-M can work as well.
* **EV Spread**: The special bulk guarantees that Scream Tail survives Shadow Ball from Choice Specs Flutter Mane. If using Sitrus Berry, the physical bulk guarantees that both formes of Choice Band Urshifu will fail to 2HKO Scream Tail with their signature moves.
Tera Types
======
* **Tera Dependency - Low**: Scream Tail's bulk and typing make it easy to set up without having to rely on Terastallization.
* **Water**: Tera Water's Steel-type and Fire-type resistances can be key at surviving big attacks from Gholdengo and Chi-Yu.
* **Steel**: Tera Steel can help Scream Tail set up against Tera Flying and Extreme Speed Dragonite, while still providing a key Steel-type resistance.
Items
========
* **Mental Herb**: Taunt Flutter Mane can be a big problem for Scream Tail, but Mental Herb can help guarantee that it gets to set Trick Room at least once.
* **Sitrus Berry**: Sitrus Berry's healing can give Scream Tail a stronger chance at getting both Stealth Rock and Trick Room down.
