We all have been there; you had high hopes for an easy win, only to stare down the late-game Bisharp set to pull the win from beneath your feet. Bisharp is not only one of RU's most potent late-game cleaners, but it also is an efficient revenge killer. Sporting a mean Sucker Punch and Eviolite bulk,

Set Details
====
If anything, Bisharp is consistent. Swords Dance into Sucker Punch has been Bisharp's bread and butter ever since its debut. But, with the introduction of its evolution, Bisharp has a new trick up its sleeves in Eviolite. With the newfound Eviolite-bulk, Bisharp checks, revenge kills, and sets up on Pokemon otherwise impossible. For example, set-up Revavroom fails to OHKO Bisharp without Tera Ground and, in return, is KOed by +2 Sucker Punch after minimal prior damage, which sets up for a potential reverse sweep. Defiant punishes a Special Attack drop from Fezandipiti's Mooblast and Intimidate Krookodile and Salamence. Tera Dark Bisharp is simple but effective in its approach.

Low Kick OHKOes any opposing Bisharp, which is useful when paired with Tera Ghost.
