Boltund uses its blistering Speed to revenge kill and clean up weakened teams. Strong Jaw makes Thunder Fang Boltund's strongest STAB move. Fire Fang and Crunch also get boosted by Strong Jaw, with Fire Fang hitting Grass-types such as Tangela and Thwackey, in addition to nailing Alolan Dugtrio. Crunch strikes Rotom and Gourgeist formes, as well as being the best option to hit Ground-types Rhydon and Piloswine despite being pitifully weak. Volt Switch chips and retains momentum against physical walls such as Miltank, Gurdurr, and Alolan Persian.

Boltund fits best on offensive teams, revenge killing foes and grabbing momentum with Volt Switch. Boltund benefits from Pokemon such as Skuntank, Rotom, and Rapidash, which help weaken Ground-types such as Rhydon and Piloswine. Switch-ins to these Ground-types are needed: Tangela, Poliwrath, and Uxie work well. As Boltund is quite frail, common revenge killers such as Thwackey, Sawk, and Kabutops can outspeed and OHKO it, so checks to them such as Tangela, Gourgeist-S, and Uxie are helpful. Ice-types such as Jynx and Froslass, which take advantage of Tangela and Ground-types, also work well as partners.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Psychic Fangs can be used over Volt Switch to hit Fighting-types like Sawk, Throh, and Gurdurr, and it's marginally stronger than Crunch in hitting Ground-types. However, it provides little gain compared to Volt Switch's momentum.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Ground-types**: Ground-type Pokemon such as Rhydon, Piloswine, and Stunfisk are immune to Boltund's STAB attacks and can OHKO it in retaliation with their own.

**Physical Walls**: Physical walls such as Miltank and Tangela can take Boltund's attacks well and stall it out with their recovery moves.

**Faster Threats**: Choice Scarf users such as Sawk and Kabutops can outspeed and OHKO Boltund. Thwackey can also revenge kill Boltund thanks to priority in Grassy Glide.

Boltund performs its niche in ZU as an all-out attacker, using its blistering speed to revenge kill and clean up weakened teams. Thunder Fang is used over Wild Charge thanks to its ability Strong Jaw boosting its power and no recoil. Fire Fang and Crunch also get boosted by Strong Jaw, with Fire Fang hitting Grass types in general Tangela and Alolan Dugtrio and Crunch striking Rotom, Gourgeist-S and Silvally-Psychic Could mention it's your best way of hitting Ground types; I don't like Psychicvally as a mention because it's so niche and gets 2HKOed by Thunder Fang anywya. Volt Switch is used to deal chip damage and retain momentum against physical walls such as Miltank mention more like Gurdurr.

Boltund fits best on offensive teams, providing speed control and grabbing momentum with Volt Switch. Boltund benefits Pokemon such as Skuntank, Rotom, and Rapidash who appreciate Ground-types being weakened. Switch-ins to Ground-types are therefore needed so teammates such as Tangela, Poliwrath, and Miltank Miltank isn't really consistent into SD Rhydon or Toxic Stunfisk; Uxie fits a bit better, you can also just mention another relevant Grass type work well. As Boltund is quite frail, common revenge killers such as Thwackey, Sawk, and Kabutops can outspeed and OHKO Boltund, so checks such as Tangela, Gourgeist-S, and Uxie help cover them.

Boltund performs its niche in ZU as an all-out attacker, using its blistering speed to revenge kill and clean up weakened teams. Thunder Fang is used over Wild Charge thanks to its ability Strong Jaw boosting its power and no recoil. Wouldn't it be better to word it this way? I don't see the reason to mention Wild Charge. Strong Jaw makes Thunder Fang Boltund's strongest STAB move. Fire Fang and Crunch also get boosted by Strong Jaw, with Fire Fang hitting Grass-types such as ... and Alolan Dugtrio, while Crunch strikes Rotom and Gourgeist-S formes (XL is also relevant), also mention it allows boltund to not be completely armless against ground types even if the move is pitifully weak. Volt Switch is used to deal chip damage and retain momentum against physical walls such as Miltank, Gurdurr, and Alolan Persian.

Boltund fits best on offensive teams, providing speed control and grabbing momentum with Volt Switch. Boltund benefits Pokemon such as Skuntank, Rotom, and Rapidash who appreciate Ground-types being weakened. it is more the opposite, they weaken ground-types for boltund as boltund is unable to weaken them significantly :w Switch-ins to Ground-types are therefore needed so teammates such as Tangela, Poliwrath, and Uxie work well. list some ground-types somewhere As Boltund is quite frail, common revenge killers such as Thwackey, Sawk, and Kabutops can outspeed and OHKO Boltund, so checks such as Tangela, Gourgeist-S, and Uxie help cover them. Ice-types that abuse tangela and ground-types are also good partners.
