Slither Wing @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Protosynthesis
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Fighting / Fire
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Close Combat
- Earthquake / First Impression
- Flare Blitz / First Impression

[SET COMMENTS]

With a sky-high Attack stat and U-turn to maintain momentum, Slither Wing can function as a fast offensive pivot with Choice Scarf while serving the added role of revenge killing key Pokemon such as Latios and Weavile. Earthquake dismantles defensive Pokemon such as Fezandipiti, Skeledirge, and Toxapex while Flare Blitz enables Slither Wing to hit Skarmory and opposing Slither Wing. Alternatively, First Impression allows Slither Wing to revenge kill faster threats such as Nasty Plot Thundurus-T. Choice Scarf allows Slither Wing to lure faster Pokemon such as Hisuian Arcanine, Latios, and Weavile. Alternatively, Heavy-Duty Boots can nullify entry hazard chip damage, allowing Slither Wing to pivot out multiple times without worrying about hazards and providing greater longevity when wall breaking. Tera Fighting boosts Close Combat, granting it power to 2HKO foes such as Latios and Skarmory. Tera Fire gives resistances to Fairy-type moves from Gardevoir while boosting Fire coverage and preventing burn by foes such as Talonflame. It also makes Slither Wing an effective progress maker on sun teams with Tera Fire Flare Blitz further boosted by Drought.

Slither Wing fits on offense teams, with it pairing well with Pokemon that can threaten physical walls such as Skarmory, Toxapex, and Skeledirge. Wallbreakers such as Hisuian Arcanine, Tyranitar, and Choice Specs Latios appreciate Slither Wing being able to safely bring them in, and the latter appreciates Slither Wing's ability to take care of its checks such as Slowking and Tinkaton. Due to Protosynthesis, Ninetales is an amazing partner, not only giving Slither Wing an attack bonus but also increasing the damage output of Flare Blitz. Ninetales offers utility in Healing Wish and Encore, providing more entry opportunities for Slither Wing, and appreciates the pivoting Slither Wing provides for safe entry. Pokemon such as specially defensive Mandibuzz can switch into Psychic-type moves targeted at Slither Wing from Latios, while Hisuian Arcanine and Heatran can sponge Fire-type moves from Talonflame and Skeledirge as well as Fairy-type moves from Choice Scarf Gardevoir.

With a sky high Attack stat, STAB First Impression, and U-turn to maintain momentum, (AC) Slither Wing functions as an excellent offensive pivot while serving the added role of revenge killing key Pokemon such as Latios and Weavile. Earthquake dismantles defensive Pokemon such as Fezandipidi , Skeledirge and Toxapex whilst Flare Blitz enables Slither Wing to hit Skarmory and opposing Slither Wing, wheras Wild Charge is an option to target Talonflame. (while this is all correct, I think I would rather you split up the sentence a bit) Choice Scarf allows Slither Wing to lure faster Pokemon such as Arcanine-Hisui, Latios and Weavile, whereas Heavy-Duty Boots nullifies hazard chip allowing Slither Wing to pivot out multiple times without worrying about hazards, providing greater longevity when wall breaking. Alternatively Choice Band enables Slither Wing to become a ferocious wall breaker, effortlessly being able to 2HKO Skarmory with Close Combat while boosting First Impression. Tera Fire allows Slither Wing to resist Fairy and Fire type moves, while boosting Flare Blitz and preventing burn from Rotom-Wash Talonflame and Skeledirge at the cost of being weak to Stealth Rock. (I am removing this bc of stealth rock mention) Alternatively Tera Electric can be used to boost Wild Charge on top of resisting Flying attacks from Pokemon such as Iron Jugulis.

Slither Wing fits on Offense teams, with it pairing well with Pokemon that can threaten physical walls such as Skarmory, Toxapex and Skeledirge. Wallbreakers such as Arcanine-Hisui, Tyranitar and Choice Specs Latios appreciate Slither Wing being able to bring in to safely position them in, the latter appreciates its Slither Wing's ability to take care of its checks such as Slowking and TInkaton. Due to Protosynthesis, Drought Pokemon such as Ninetales and Torkoal are excellent partners on Sun teams Ninetales is an amazing partner (tork isnt v good) not only giving Slither Wing an attack bonus but also increasing the damage output of Flare Blitz. Ninetales offers utility in Healing Wish and Encore whereas Torkoal provides Stealth Rock and entry hazard removal, so Slither Wing can pivot frequently. (rewrite this to remove torkoal) Pokemon such as Specially Defensive Mandibuzz can switch into the Psychic moves targeted at Slither Wing (examples?) whilst Arcanine-Hisui and Heatran can sponge Fire moves from Talonflame and Skeledirge as well as Fairy moves from Choice Scarf Gardevoir.

Hi there! QC has discussed this set and decided that it currently is trying to meld too many different sets into one, so we would like for this to be condensed into just choice scarf. Here is the set I would like you to change this to:
[SET]
Slither Wing @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Protosynthesis
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Fighting
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Close Combat
- Earthquake / First Impression
- Flare Blitz / First Impression

I understand this may require some rewriting and reordering of sentences in your set comments, so I'm going to wait until the set has been changed to give this a QC check. You are free to mention HDB and Choice Band in the set comments still. Apologies for the hassle! I'll be sure to give this a check ASAP once the requested changes to the set and set comments have been made. Feel free to reach out via PM or Discord if you have any questions!
 
changes implemented ready for QC check. Decided to remove CB as the benefits are also mentioned with tera Fighting.
