Rest + Chesto Berry (Quilava) @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Hidden Power Grass
- Quick Attack
- Rest
[SET COMMENTS]
Quilava is capable of breaking down special walls such as Gloom and Sunflora thanks to its Fire typing, powerful STAB option, and Speed. Hidden Power Grass provides useful coverage against Water- and Rock-types such as Corsola, Chinchou, and Onix. Quick Attack assists in picking off weaker, faster attackers such as Abra and Elekid. In combination with a Chesto Berry, Rest heals Quilava instantly, clearing all status conditions and providing greater longevity. If Quilava is in Blaze range, it threatens to OHKO Pokemon such as Flaaffy, Koffing, and stallbreaker Mightyena, making it a juggernaut at breaking down foes. Quilava frequently switches in against Gloom and Dustox, which can threaten to wear it down with status. With the combination of Rest and Chesto Berry, Quilava can switch in without the worry of being affected by paralysis or poison.
ChestoRest Quilava performs best on offensive teams that benefit from its ability to weaken special walls and ignore status conditions. Paralysis spreaders like Porygon and Drowzee give Quilava a difficult time when it tries to break them down, so paralysis absorbers like Cubone and Rhyhorn that are immune to Thunder Wave can help deal with Quilava's checks. Other physical wallbreakers such as Anorith and Doduo can thwart special walls Quilava is unable to break like Drowzee and Tentacool. Special attackers such as Clamperl and Wailmer soften up special walls, allowing Quilava to clean up. Bulky Water-types such as Seaking and Wartortle are difficult to break down, as Quilava's Hidden Power Grass inflicts insufficient damage against them. Grass-types such as Gloom and Sunflora tank special attacks from Chinchou and Wartortle and possess reliable recovery. Quilava benefits from paralysis spreaders such as Castform, Nosepass, and Porygon, allowing it to eliminate faster threats such as Aipom and Elekid. Clerics such as Delcatty and Mightyena are appreciated by Quilava, as they help awaken it after consuming its Chesto Berry. Fast offensive Pokemon, like Abra, Aipom, and Voltorb, can act as cleaners after Quilava has broken down their checks.
