1v1 Man (Spectrier) [GP 0/1]

[bern]

Spectrier @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Grim Neigh
EVs: 36 HP / 252 SpD / 220 Spe
Calm Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Calm Mind
- Taunt
- Pain Split

This variant of Spectrier rides into 1v1 as a strong anti-meta threat! With access to Calm Mind to boost up its stats and the Clear Amulet to prevent Special Defense drops from Sylveon and Acid Spray Hisuian Goodra, as well as Speed drops from Icy Wind Primarina, and Special Attack drops from Eerie Impulse Zapdos, Spectrier does an excellent job at walling out the above special attackers, as well as the likes of Landorus, Manaphy, and non-Assault Vest Flare Blitz Volcanion. Taunt is an invaluable tool in several match-ups, especially against opposing Pokemon that can boost up such as Sylveon, Volcarona, and Corviknight. Finally, Pain Split allows for Spectrier to win the Primarina match-up, as well as beating most Volcanion. The EVs in HP and Special Defense are made for this exact line of moves, while the Speed allows it to outspeed Base 110 Speed Pokemon like Iron Moth and Ogerpon-W. Unlike most other Spectrier sets that carry Will-O-Wisp for physical attackers, this specific set tends to struggle against these, so Pokemon that do well against physical attackers like Counter Ursaluna and Donphan might be go-to options, and as it only has Ghost-type STAB, it naturally struggles against Dark-types like Hoopa-U and Roaring Moon, so common Fighting-type options such as Sneasler or Urshifu-S might prove useful in these situations.

This variant of Spectrier rides into 1v1 as a strong wallbreaker [maybe think of a more appropriate word? Wallbreaker wouldn’t really catch my eye, but stallbreaker (more fittingly) wouldn’t really fit either. the set is cool since it flips a lot of special attackers that think it can get around lo wisp cm and you have taunt to do other cool stuff]! With access to Calm Mind to boost up its stats and the Clear Amulet to prevent Special Defense drops from Sylveon and Acid Spray Hisuian Goodra, as well as Speed drops from Icy Wind Primarina, and Special Attack drops from Eerie Impulse Zapdos [notable flip], Spectrier does an excellent job at walling out the above several special attackers, as well as from the likes of Landorus, Manaphy, Sylveon, and non-Assault Vest Flare Blitz Volcanion [I think AV flare has odds against you especially if you CM turn 1. Double check air balloon flare if you have time, but that looks like a more secure win.] Taunt is an invaluable tool in several match-ups, especially against opposing Pokemon that can boost up such as Sylveon, Volcarona, and Corviknight. Finally, Pain Split allows for a very specific string of moves to allow you to win the Primarina match-up, as well as beating most [see earlier] Volcanion. The EVs in HP and Special Defense are made for this exact line of moves, while the Speed allows it to outspeed Base 110 Pokemon like Iron Moth and Ogerpon-W.
