Fraxure @ Choice Band
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Outrage
- First Impression
- Dragon Claw
- Stomping Tantrum

[SET COMMENTS]
Fraxure is one of the best wallbreakers and revenge killers in the metagame owing to its colossal Attack and amazing movepool. First Impression is its primary revenge killing tool, being able to pick off several top-tier threats such as Girafarig, Thwackey, and Frogadier. Dragon Claw, unlike Outrage, doesn't lock Fraxure in and helps it avoid being crippled by Fairy-types like Clefairy and Tinkatuff. Stomping Tantrum hits Tinkatuff, 2HKOes Koffing, and OHKOes Pawniard after Stealth Rock damage. An Adamant nature maximizes Fraxure's offensive potential, letting it hit thresholds like always 2HKOing Quaxwell with Outrage and maximum Defense Tinkatuff with Stomping Tantrum.

Fraxure fits on bulky offense and balance teams as a dedicated physical wallbreaker and anti-offense revenge killer. It works best when paired with pivots and entry hazard setters, as they provide it with entry opportunities and facilitate its wallbreaking. Frogadier excels in both roles, making it a wonderful partner. Quaxwell, Raboot, and Thwackey provide pivoting support and handle Piloswine, one of the best checks to Fraxure; moreover, Quaxwell provides Rapid Spin support, ensuring Fraxure stays for long in the game. Fraxure can't afford to take Knock Off because it loses too much power; Tinkatuff helps by acting as a Knock Off absorber and also provides Stealth Rock and Knock Off support. Other hazard-setting teammates include Piloswine and Koffing. Piloswine can also act as a Tinkatuff switch-in in case Fraxure is Choice-locked into a move other than Stomping Tantrum. Fraxure is vulnerable to Misdreavus, which can burn it and render it useless. Thus, Normal-types like Girafarig, Dunsparce, and Vigoroth are great teammates. Special wallbreakers work excellently with Fraxure, ripping apart defensive cores with ease. Choice Specs Drakloak, Hisuian Sliggoo, and aforementioned Girafarig are all suited for the job. Fraxure appreciates Knock Off support a lot because Eviolite removal makes it even deadlier in its job. Thus, Pokemon like Monferno, Pignite, Vullaby as well as the previously mentioned Thwackey and Vigoroth pair amazingly with it, with Vullaby even providing Defog support. Fraxure often gets Choice-locked in the wrong move, so having a solid defensive core backing it up is of utmost importance, especially on balance teams. Defensive options to pair Fraxure with include Pokemon like Ivysaur, Misdreavus, and the aforementioned Quaxwell and Koffing.

First Impression is its primary revenge killing tool, being able to pick off several top-tier threats such as Girafarig, Thwackey, and Frogadier. mention dragon claw here as a weaker STAB option that doesn't keep it locked in since tink is so common Stomping Tantrum hits Tinkatuff, which otherwise takes its Dragon-type STAB moves and First Impression. touch on why it runs Adamant

Fraxure fits on bulky offense and balance teams as a dedicated physical wallbreaker and anti-offense revenge killer. It works best when paired with pivots and entry hazard setters, as they provide it with entry opportunities and facilitate its wallbreaking. Frogadier excels in both roles, making it a wonderful partner, and it appreciates Fraxure checking Thwackey. Quaxwell provides pivoting support and handles Piloswine, one of the best checks to Fraxure; moreover, Quaxwell provides Rapid Spin support, ensuring Fraxure stays long in the game. Fraxure, in return, checks Thwackey for Quaxwell (i wouldnt say it's a great check because wood hammer does a ton, or it gets pivoted on into bad situations or loses it's cb to knock). Strong offensive pivots such as Thwackey and Raboot are stellar teammates for reasons outlined previously. Fraxure can't afford to take Knock Off because it loses too much power. Tinkatuff acts as a Knock Off absorber and also provides Stealth Rock and Knock Off support. Other hazard-setting teammates include Piloswine and Koffing. Piloswine can also act as a Tinkatuff switch-in in case Fraxure is Choice-locked into a non-Stomping Tantrum move. Fraxure is vulnerable to Misdreavus, which can burn it and render it useless. Thus, Normal-types like Girafarig, Dunsparce, and Vigoroth are great teammates. Special wallbreakers work excellently with Fraxure, ripping apart opposing defensive cores with ease. Choice Specs Drakloak, Hisuian Sliggoo, and aforementioned Girafarig are all suited for the job. Fraxure appreciates Knock Off support a lot because lack of Eviolite in the opposing team makes it even deadlier in its job. Pokemon like Monferno, Fraxure (mistake?), Vullaby as well as previously mentioned Thwackey and Vigoroth thus pair amazingly with it, with Vullaby even providing Defog support. Fraxure often gets Choice-locked in the wrong move, so having a solid defensive core backing it up is of utmost importance, especially on balance teams. Defensive options to pair Fraxure with include Pokemon like Ivysaur, Misdreavus, and aforementioned Quaxwell and Koffing.
