Scream Tail leverages Pixilate Boomburst's natural raw power and its decent bulk and Speed tier to act as a niche Stealth Rock setter that threatens some of the tier's best entry hazard removers like Quaquaval, Mandibuzz, and Great Tusk. Protect allows it to receive its own Wishes safely while acting as an option to scout a Choice-locked foe, like Barraskewda, Azelf, or Sandy Shocks. Scream Tail's ability to force out wallbreakers like Great Tusk and Dragonite allows it to find opportunities to set up Stealth Rock; alternatively, Calm Mind allows it to act as a late-game cleaner after its checks like Iron Moth, Unaware Scream Tail, and RegenVest Hisuian Goodra have been heavily worn down or removed. Scream Tail's ability to maintain entry hazards in the face of spinners like the aforementioned Great Tusk and Quaquaval is greatly appreciated by pivots like Azelf and Barraskewda, which can form deadly VoltTurn cores that appreciate entry hazard chip damage on their checks like Corviknight and RegenVest Manaphy. Scream Tail's weakness to revenge killers like Dragonite, Barraskewda, and Choice Specs Azelf means it requires sturdy teammates like Corviknight, Empoleon, and RegenVest Manaphy, which can switch into these threats, live a hit, and pivot out. Scream Tail appreciates spinners that can maintain hazards on the opposing side. Additionally, Scream Tail appreciates wallbreakers like Barraskewda and Sandy Shocks, which can remove Fire- and Steel-types, allowing Scream Tail to clean the opposing team.
