Monotype Alolan Muk

roman

Banned deucer.
Muk-Alola @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Gluttony
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Poison Jab
- Curse
- Recycle

Alolan Muk flips bad matchups for Dark like Electric and Fairy thanks to its amazing bulk and defensive typing. It can threaten a plethora of types such as Electric given its immense bulk after even a single use of Curse, especially combined with Recycle when used in conjunction with an Iapapa Berry and Gluttony. It also gives Tyranitar many more opportunities to set Stealth Rock, as Alolan Muk can check most special attackers to prevent Tyranitar from being worn down. Knock Off lets Alolan Muk cripple foes by removing their items, and this gives it great utility throughout the battle when combined with its ability to act as a sponge to status and special attackers when against more resilient types like Flying and Poison that have reliable ways of checking it in Taunt Gliscor and Haze Toxapex, respectively. However, don't get too confident with it, because losing Iapapa Berry from opposing Knock Off will severely hinder Alolan Muk's potential!

I don't think you need to mention that it's immune to toxic poison, it's a poison type, that's implied.

"It can threaten a plethora of types after a single Curse and gives Tyranitar many more opportunities to set Stealth Rock, as Alolan Muk can check most special attackers to prevent Tyranitar from being worn down."
- these are two separate points mashed together, it doesn't make sense reading the first into the second so I'd separate them into different sentences and expand on them a little

rest is fine for qc 1/1
