Bisharp @ Black Glasses / Air Balloon
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Throat Chop
- Iron Head
- Sucker Punch
Bisharp puts foes in checkmate in Monotype! Bisharp finds a place on Steel teams as a great offensive option thanks to its Dark typing, great ability in Defiant, and excellent priority in Sucker Punch, allowing it to pick off foes such as Flutter Mane and Dragapult. Throat Chop allows Bisharp to hit slower foes, such as Sinistcha and Toxapex. Iron Head helps deal with Fairy types such as Galarian Weezing and Hatterene, harder. Black Glasses gives Bisharp a bit less power but more longevity than Life Orb, while Air Balloon helps deal with foes locked into Earthquake such as Choice Scarf Excadrill and Great Tusk. Skarmory is a great teammate for Bisharp, as the chip damage from entry hazards greatly aids Bisharp in breaking through enemy teams. Skarmory can switch into Ground- and Fighting-types, such as Great Tusk and Sneasler, that Bisharp would otherwise struggle with. Air Balloon Heatran can switch into bulkier Fire-types that Bisharp is unable to OHKO, such as Gouging Fire and opposing Heatran.
