Chi-Yu @ Grassy Seed
Ability: Beads of Ruin
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 92 Def / 120 SpA / 44 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Heat Wave
- Dark Pulse
- Nasty Plot
- Protect
This new Chi-Yu set has made quite the splash in Doubles! Opting for Grassy Seed and defensive investment, the additional survivability lets it fish for setup opportunities instead of using the typical Choice item sets. At +2, 120 SpA Chi-Yu OHKOes Landorus-T and Cresselia with Dark Pulse and Rillaboom and Amoonguss with Heat Wave. Chi-Yu appreciates support from Tornadus and fast allies that can alleviate its own middling Speed tier, such as Flutter Mane. Fake Out users, like Rillaboom and Iron Hands create easier setup opportunities and beat the Water-types that threaten Chi-Yu, with the former being required to activate Grassy Seed and granting passive recovery with Grassy Terrain. Chi-Yu also sets up easily against support Pokemon like Cresselia and Rillaboom that do not have effective ways of harming it. A Tera type of Water improves Chi-Yu's matchup into Water types, such as Palafin and Volcanion, and is a generally good defensive typing.
