CAP Venomicon-E

Venomicon-Epilogue @ Vile Vial
Ability: Tinted Lens
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Brave Bird
- Gunk Shot / Knock Off
- Roost

With its powerful Flying STAB, access to setup, and coveted Speed tier, Venomicon-E is the near ideal Tinted Lens user. Moreover, Venomicon-E's unremovable item Vile Vial boosts its STAB moves by 1.2x and prevents Knock Off from dealing full damage, identical to Giratina-O's Griseous Orb. After a Swords Dance, Venomicon-E's power skyrockets; a +2 Brave Bird has virtually no switch-ins, though Venomicon-E is still able to be kept in check through recoil damage and an unavoidable weakness to Stealth Rock. Brave Bird is its strongest and most spammable move by far, as Tinted Lens lets it blow through Flying-resistant Pokemon like Corviknight after minimal chip damage. While Venomicon-E gets less mileage out of Gunk Shot, it's still useful for OHKOing Fairy-types like Tapu Fini and providing a strong attacking option that does not incur recoil. Alternatively, one can use Knock Off to further weaken switch-ins such as Ferrothorn for an easier time cleaning late-game. Electric-type partners like Tapu Koko, Zeraora, and Magnezone are perfect at baiting in Ground-types for Venomicon-E to set up on, with Magnezone also being useful for trapping Steel-type switch-ins.

Brave Bird is by far Venomicon-Epilogue's strongest and most spammable move due to being unresisted in the entire tier outside of options like Magnezone.

it's resisted by quite a few things, maybe change it to reflect how Tinted Lens blows through regular resists; something such as "Tinted Lens ensures that Brave Bird can still 2HKO foes that resist it such as Corviknight".

Checked in with Estronic btw and we can call it "Venomicon-E" to save some characters and maybe mention a teammate or two? Otherwise stellar job, QC complete!
