Published [OU] Hisuian Samurott

[mcribs]

Samurott-Hisui @ Black Glasses
Ability: Sharpness
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ceaseless Edge
- Knock Off
- Sucker Punch
- Flip Turn / Razor Shell

The samurai rocks up with shades! Hisuian Samurott equips Black Glasses alongside Tera Dark and its Dark-type STAB options to provide a mix of power and utility via entry hazards, item removal, and priority. Knock Off pairs well with Ceaseless Edge, as it removes Heavy-Duty Boots from checks such as Alomomola and Zamazenta, making the Spikes more potent; it also removes Rocky Helmet from Corviknight. Sucker Punch hits fast foes like Ogerpon-W, Kyurem, and particularly Dragapult. Flip Turn offers utility by preserving momentum and letting Hisuian Samurott pivot out of poor matchups against Clefable and Corviknight while getting teammates in safely. Razor Shell, meanwhile, allows Hisuian Samurott to land 2HKOs on Ting-Lu and Great Tusk. Due to its vast toolkit, Hisuian Samurott is amazing on offense. Gholdengo is a great partner for denying most hazard removal, making Hisuian Samurott's Spikes harder to get rid of. In return, Hisuian Samurott can switch into Kingambit and opposing Gholdengo. Late-game cleaners like Dragonite, Zamazenta, and Iron Valiant appreciate it threatening Ghost-types like Gholdengo and Pecharunt as well as its Spikes wearing down the opposition.

The samurai rocks up with shades! Hisuian Samurott equips Black Glasses alongside Tera Dark and its incredible Dark-type move options to become a mix of utility and power, its Ceaseless Edge 2HKOing Kyurem while laying Spikes that chip at checks like Primarina. (ceaseless edge is just inherently broken so doesnt have to explicitly mention who it hits and what checks hate spikes in the context of this set since the main highlight is its black glasses + dark stabs) and utility via entry hazards, item removal, and priority. Knock Off pairs well with Ceaseless Edge, removing items like Heavy-Duty Boots from checks like Alomomola and Zamazenta Dondozo, making the Spikes even more potent, while also removing Rocky Helmet from Corviknight. Sucker Punch hits fast foes like Ogerpon-W, Kyurem, and particularly Dragapult, which it lands a OHKO on. Flip Turn has utility by preserving momentum and by pivoting out of poor matchups like Clefable and Corviknight and gets its teammates in safely. Razor Shell meanwhile allows Hisuian Samurott's to land 2HKOs on Ting-Lu and Great Tusk, with the defense drops making foes like Hatterene wary of entering. (tbh you'd rather just click ceaseless on the hatt coming in. gives you more out of the turn) Tera Dark further boosts Hisuian Samurott's power, landing 2HKOs on Zapdos, Dragonite, and even Corviknight after Stealth Rock with Ceaseless Edge, while boosting Sucker Punch to be able to OHKO Iron Moth after Stealth Rock. (covered in the opening sentence, cause it's part of what makes the set shine since it just stacks up on multipliers for its dark stabs. these benchmarks are better written on analysis but for spotlights where character is limited we can use this room for something else) Due to its vast tool kit, Hisuian Samurott is amazing on Offense, where its niche fully shines. Gholdengo is a great partner for being able to deny all most hazard removal except Court Change, making Hisuian Samurott's Spikes harder get rid of. In return, Hisuian Samurott is able to switch into Kingambit and opposing Gholdengo, while threatening common defensive answers like Ting-Lu. (needs razor shell to do this even somewhat reliably) (should have enough character to give other examples of teammates here)

cutting stuff down 1/1 but as usual lmk if you want me to see this again

Sucker Punch hits fast foes like Ogerpon-W, Kyurem, and particularly Dragapult. Flip Turn has offers utility by preserving momentum and pivoting letting Hisuian Samurott pivot out of poor matchups like against Clefable and Corviknight and gets while getting its teammates in safely.
