[SET]
Offensive Pivot (SpA) (Electrode-Hisui) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Static
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Tera Type: Ice / Fire
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Leaf Storm
- Tera Blast
- Volt Switch
Hisuian Electrode is a strong pivot that utilizes its high Speed and decent STAB combination to chip away at and eventually break through opposing teams. Thunderbolt provides a consistent source of damage, while Leaf Storm acts like a nuke against neutral targets and Ground-types looking to block Volt Switch such as Landorus. Tera Blast Ice nails Grass- and Dragon-type Pokemon like Hydrapple and Eternatus for super effective damage, while Tera Blast Fire hits Zacian-C, Iron Treads, and specially defensive Excadrill. Volt Switch is Hisuian Electrode's most spammable move, allowing it to pivot out and maintain momentum against checks such as Kyurem-W and Galarian Slowking. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Hisuian Electrode to safely pivot on and off the field throughout the game.
Hisuian Electrode best fits on teams looking for a strong, special attacking pivot. However, a high Special Attack god like Kyurem-W or Eternatus is required to allow it to actually make progress. Hisuian Electrode pairs well with other offensive pivots such as Landorus-T, Meowscarada, and Hisuian Samurott, as they can chip away at each other's checks. Meowscarada in particular is helpful, as Triple Axel nukes the aforementioned Grass- and Dragon-types that wall Hisuian Electrode, allowing it to comfortably run Tera Fire over Tera Ice. Alternatively, slower pivots such as Pecharunt, Corviknight, and Mandibuzz are helpful in bringing Hisuian Electrode onto the field safely, circumventing its relative frailty. Hisuian Electrode also appreciates powerful physical attackers such as Great Tusk and Weavile, as they are able to break special walls such as Eternatus and Galarian Slowking. Lastly, entry hazard setters like Skarmory, Clefable, and Landorus-T are helpful, as they let Hisuian Electrode's constant pivoting force chip damage onto its checks, allowing it to beat them long-term.
