Bruxish crashes its way through ZU! Bruxish is one of the most common wallbreakers in the entire tier. Its strong attacks make for a near unresisted combo that very few Pokemon can switch into, and it's guaranteed to threaten most of the slower Pokemon in the metagame like Decidueye-H and Qwilfish. If the foe is already weakened, Bruxish would go with Aqua Jet, especially for weakened faster Pokemon like Jolteon and Charizard under sun. If they switch into a check like Electrode-H, it'd rather go for Flip Turn, as that gives momentum to the team and can form a VoltTurn core with teammates like Bombirdier and Magneton. Tera Water allows it to give up its weaknesses from Psychic, find opportunities to attack, and most importantly OHKO huge defensive behemoths like Regirock and Curse Snorlax after Stealth Rock. As mentioned before, Bombirdier is a great partner for Bruxish, being able to remove foes' Heavy-Duty Boots, set up Stealth Rock, and pivot into Bruxish. Since Bruxish can soften the opponent's defensive core, setup sweepers such as Snorlax, Sandaconda, and Dudunsparce make for great partners.

Bruxish crashes its way through ZU! Bruxish is one of the most common revenge killers and wallbreakers it's a breaker more than a revenge killer, but that's mostly nitpick in the entire tier, Its strong attacks make for a near unresisted combo that very few Pokemon can switch into, and it's guaranteed to threaten most of the slower Pokemon in the metagame like Decidueye-H, Emboar, and Qwilfish. If the foe is already weakened, Bruxish would go with Aqua Jet, especially for weakened faster Pokemon like Jolteon and Charizard under Sun. If they switch into a check like Electrode-H, it'd rather go for Flip Turn, as that gives momentum to the team and can form a VoltTurn core with teammates like Bombirdier and Qwilfish qwilfish and bruxish quite overlap with their typing, you can mention one of the strong electric types instead or anything really that isnt another physical flip turn user. Tera Water is a huge option for Bruxish, as it allows it to give up its weaknesses from Psychic, to find opportunities to attack, most importantly OHKOing huge defensive behemoths like Regirock and Curse Snorlax after Stealth Rock. As mentioned before, Bombirdier is a great partner for Bruxish, being able to Knock Off the opponent's Heavy-Duty Boots and set up Stealth Rock to put them in range for Bruxish's attacks. feel like this is more about bomb being general good utility for anything than bruxish specific Snorlax is another good partner, as Bruxish can soften the opponent's defensive core so Snorlax can set up and win the match. i guess you could make it more general than snorlax, but just mention physical setup sweepers like lax, sanda, and dudun

QC 1/1
