Goodra-Hisui @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Gigaton Hammer
- Dragon Tail
- Shore Up
- Knock Off / Stone Axe
Hisuian Goodra is one of the biggest winners in the Alphabet Cup soup, picking up much-appreciated recovery and utility moves from Sliggoo’s simply silly slew of S-moves. Hisuian Goodra already posses amazing bulk and defensive typing, and now shores the combination up with Shore Up, making it the tier’s premier special wall. Alphabet Cup Hisuian Goodra is far from passive however, as it can bop foes like Enamorus with Gigaton Hammer, phaze problematic Torch Song users like Hisuin Thyplosion with Dragon Tail, and provide excellent team support with one of Knock Off or Stone Axe. Powerful attackers like Close Combat Cinderace and Glaive Rush Garchomp love being able to avoid their revenge killers by falling back on Hisuian Goodra’s excellent bulk, and they don’t mind the entry hazards it can set. Hisuian Goodra struggles with the plethora of powerful Fighting-types like Iron Valiant and Zamazenta, so Toxapex (which now gets Teleport and Mortal Spin) is an excellent partner.
