Brute Bonnet is a specialized but effective wallbreaker and offensive threat in PU thanks to its great offensive typing, solid bulk, and great Attack stat. Sucker Punch allows Brute Bonnet to get over its middling Speed stat to revenge kill Psychic- and Ghost-types like Espeon, Hoopa, and Hiusian Typhlosion as well as faster threats such as Ambipom and Salazzle. Crunch is generally stronger and more consistent than Thief against neutral targets like Goodra and Frosmoth, and its chance to lower Defense can enable Brute Bonnet to break through walls like Bellibolt. Thief is a solid option on sets running Booster Energy, as it trades off weaker damage output for the ability to punish foes like Rotom-H, Amoonguss, and Skuntank. Close Combat covers opposing Dark-types such as Zoroark as well as Steel-types like Alolan Sandslash and Magneton. Finally, Synthesis is a niche but useful option, allowing Brute Bonnet to recover off damage and spotcheck Pokemon like Rhydon and Hisuian Electrode. Booster Energy's Attack boost allows Brute Bonnet to OHKO all Rhydon sets with Seed Bomb, and Brute Bonnet makes a decent Knock Off absorber, although it only works once per match. Alternatively, Black Glasses provides a smaller boost exclusively for Dark-type attacks that isn't removed when Brute Bonnet switches out. Heavy-Duty Boots is an option for general utility, preventing Brute Bonnet from taking entry hazard damage as it frequently pivots. Tera Poison is a great defensive Tera Type, allowing Brute Bonnet to take on threats such as Florges, Hisuian Decidueye, and Virizion, but it comes at the cost of becoming weak to Ground- and Psychic-type attacks. An alternative is Tera Dark, boosting the power of Crunch and Sucker Punch, allowing Brute Bonnet to OHKO Tatsugiri after slight chip or with Black Glasses with Sucker Punch.

Brute Bonnet is a great offensive pivot on non Booster Energy sets and threat on offense and hyper offense teams, finding use over other Dark-type's thanks to its unique offensive typing and sky high Attack stat. Brute Bonnet's weak defensive profile means it apricates having pivots such as Bombirdier, Uxie, and Bruxish to allow it to get onto the battlefield safely. Brute Bonnet can struggle to deal with physically defensive walls such as Terastallized Rhydon, Amoonguss, and Dipplin, so Pokemon who can take these threats on such as Milotic, ones own Rhydon, and Skuntank all made solid partners. Brute Bonnet's ability to deal with threats such as Rhydon and Hisuian Avalugg benefits partners such as Ambipom, Skuntank, and Bombirdier. It also enjoys having partners such as Cramorant and Florges who can switch into Fighting-type attacks from the likes of Paldean Tauros-F and Hisuian Decidueye.

Brute Bonnett Bonnet is a specialized (RC) but effective wallbreaker and offensive pivot in PU thanks to its great offensive typing, solid bulk, and great Attack stat. Brute Bonnett's choice of dark STAB varies; Crunch is generally stronger Crunch is generally stronger and more consistent than Thief against neutral targets like Goodra and more consistent Frosmoth, but on and its chance to lower Defense can enable Brute Bonnett's running Booster Energy (RC) Bonnet to break through walls like Bellibolt. (AP) Thief is a solid option on sets running Booster Energy, (AC) as it trades off weaker damage output for the ability to remove an item off of an opposing Pokemon, crippling Pokemon punish foes like Rotom-H, Altaria, and Naclstack Skuntank. Close Combat is solid coverage, targetting covers opposing Dark-types such as Zoroark and Bombirdier while also hitting Wo-Chien as well as Steel-types such as Copperajah like Alolan Sandslash and Alolan Sandslash hard Magneton. Sucker Punch allows Brute Bonnett Bonnet to get over its middling Speed stat to revenge kill faster threats such as Psychic- and Ghost-types like Galarian Articuno, Ambipom Hoopa, and Salazzle. With Booster Energy, Brute Bonnett essentially gets a +1 Attack boost if it does not switch out, which allows it Hiusian Typhlosion as well as faster threats such as Ambipom and Salazzle. (Add a sentence here about Synthesis) Booster Energy's Attack boost allows Brute Bonnet to OHKO Rhydon with Seed Bomb, (AC) and Brute Bonnet makes a decent Knock Off absorber. Alternatively, Black Glass Glasses provides a smaller boost and exclusively for Dark-type attacks (RC) however it comes at the benefit of not being that isn't removed when Brute Bonnett Bonnet switches out. Heavy-Duty Boots is a final an option for general utility, preventing Brute Bonnet from taking entry hazard damage as it frequently pivots. Tera Poison is a great defensive Tera Type, allowing Brute Bonnett Bonnet to take on threats such as Florges, Hisuian Decidueye, and Virizion, but it comes at the cost of being becoming weak to Ground- and Psychic-type attacks (add a couple of examples where the downsides of the new weaknesses are relevant). An alternative is Tera Dark, boosting the power of Crunch and Sucker Punch, allowing Brute Bonnett Bonnet to OHKO Tatsugiri after slight chip with Sucker Punch and 3HKO Bellibolt.

Brute Bonnett Bonnet is a great offensive pivot and threat on offense and hyper-offense hyper offense teams. Brute Bonnett's Bonnet's weak defensive profile means it apricates having pivots such as Bombirdier, Uxie, and Bruxish to allow it to get onto the battlefield safely. Brute Bonnett Bonnet can struggle to deal with physically defensive walls such as Altaria, Bellibolt, and Dipplin, so Pokemon who can take these threats on such as Sneasel, Rhydon, and Skuntank all made solid partners. Brute Bonnett's Bonnet's ability to deal with threats such as Rhydon and Wo-Chien benefits partners such as Ambipom, Skuntank, and Tatsugiri. It also enjoys having partners such as Cramorant and Florges who can switch into Fighting-type attacks from the likes of Paldean Tauros-F and Hisuian Decidueye.

Brute Bonnet is a specialized but effective wallbreaker and offensive pivot(pivot? idk if i wanna be switching it in and wasting booster energy) in PU thanks to its great offensive typing, solid bulk, and great Attack stat. Crunch is generally stronger and more consistent than Thief against neutral targets like Goodra and Frosmoth, and its chance to lower Defense can enable Brute Bonnet to break through walls like Bellibolt(RIP). Thief is a solid option on sets running Booster Energy, as it trades off weaker damage output for the ability to punish foes like Rotom-H, Altaria(RIP), and Skuntank. Close Combat covers opposing Dark-types such as Zoroark and Wo-Chien(RIP) as well as Steel-types like Alolan Sandslash and Magneton. Sucker Punch allows Brute Bonnet to get over its middling Speed stat to revenge kill Psychic- and Ghost-types like Galarian Articuno(RIP), Hoopa, and Hiusian Typhlosion as well as faster threats such as Ambipom and Salazzle. (Sucker Punch is the first move on the set, it should be explained before the other moves.)Finally, Synthesis is a niche but useful option, allowing Brute Bonnet to recover off damage and spotcheck Pokemon like Wo-Chien(RIP) and Hisuian Electrode. Booster Energy's Attack boost allows Brute Bonnet to OHKO Rhydon(offensive or defensive or both?) with Seed Bomb, and Brute Bonnet makes a decent Knock Off absorber. (however you have to be careful about when you send it in now cuz it can only be used once)Alternatively, Black Glasses provides a smaller boost exclusively for Dark-type attacks that isn't removed when Brute Bonnet switches out. Heavy-Duty Boots is an option for general utility, preventing Brute Bonnet from taking entry hazard damage as it frequently pivots. Tera Poison is a great defensive Tera Type, allowing Brute Bonnet to take on threats such as Florges, Hisuian Decidueye, and Virizion, but it comes at the cost of becoming weak to Ground- and Psychic-type attacks, but it makes matchups against Ground-types such as Mudsdale and Rhydon into losing ones. (repetitive sentence, you just mentioned ground types twice)An alternative is Tera Dark, boosting the power of Crunch and Sucker Punch, allowing Brute (extra space here)Bonnet to OHKO Tatsugiri after slight chip (or black glasses im guessing)with Sucker Punch and 3HKO Bellibolt.(RIP)

Brute Bonnet is a great offensive pivot(again, pivot?) and threat on offense and hyper offense teams. Brute Bonnet's weak defensive profile means it apricates having pivots such as Bombirdier, Uxie, and Bruxish to allow it to get onto the battlefield safely. Brute Bonnet can struggle to deal with physically defensive walls such as Altaria,(RIP) Bellibolt,(RIP) and Dipplin, so Pokemon who can take these threats on such as Sneasel, Rhydon, and Skuntank all made solid partners. Brute Bonnet's ability to deal with threats such as Rhydon and Wo-Chien(RIP) benefits partners such as Ambipom, Skuntank, and Tatsugiri. It also enjoys having partners such as Cramorant and Florges who can switch into Fighting-type attacks from the likes of Paldean Tauros-F and Hisuian Decidueye.
(why should I choose brute bonnet over the large amount of other dark mons?)(add something about teams that want speed control via sucker punch)
