Sneasler @ Air Balloon
Name: Unburden (Fighting)
Ability: Unburden
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Dire Claw
- Acrobatics / Throat Chop
[SET COMMENTS]
With Unburden, Sneasler becomes a devastating cleaner for Fighting-type teams being able to outpace dangerous Choice Scarf threats like Flutter Mane and Greninja with ease. Air Balloon provides Sneasler safe entry and grants it a free turn of setup aginast Ground-types like Gliscor and Great Tusk who will be force to enable Unburden if they wish to remove Sneasler. Close Combat, albeit lowers its Defense stats, is an excellent answer to Normal-, Steel-, and Dark- type Pokemon. With +2 Attack, Sneasler can break through the Steel- flyers with Close Combat as well. With Dire Claw being its more reliable Poison- stab in terms of accuracy, Sneasler not only can hit Fairy- types such as Hatterene amd Primarina hard but it can also in return grant the possibility of spreading Status. Acrobatics, paired with an Unburden boost once Air Balloon is popped, becomes Sneasler's way of checking other Fighting- type Pokemon after a Swords Dance such as Great Tusk or Zamazenta! Alternatively, Throat Chop can also be used to check Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon such as Gholdengo or Galarian Slowking.
Great Tusk is an excellent defensive teammate for Sneasler as it not only can setup hazards but it can remove them with the likes of Rapid Spin. Making it easier for Sneasler to switch in and be able to setup a Swords Dance. Iron Hands being one of Fighting's best Assault Vest users that, paired with Sneasler, can take on the likes of Special Attack moves while also better assisting versus Flying-types such as Pelipper and to wear down Skarmory with Thunderpunch. Gallade is an alternative Assault Vest teammate that pairs well with Sneasler, as with Sharpness boosted Psycho Cut can take on threats like Toxapex and Pecharunt. Iron Valiant, in conjunction with Sneasler, makes use of a variety of coverage options such as Ice Punch to deal with Ground- types like Gliscor and the Landorus formes, or Knock Off to better assist removing key items on Ghost-types like Skeledirges Heavy Duty Boots, making it easier for Sneasler to clean up later. Zamazenta can become a secondary setup sweeping teammate for Sneasler, making use of Iron Defense and Body Press to tear through defensively weak types making it easier for Sneasler to also setup and clean slate late game. Keldeo with its mixed variants pairs well with Sneasler as it deals with physical checks like Hippowdon and Gliscor with Surf while also outspeeding the Landorus formes.
