Unfezant also carves itself a niche on offensive teams as a fantastic revenge killer. It notably outspeeds and OHKOes two of the most prominent opposing Choice Scarf users, Rotom and Sawk, with Night Slash and Brave Bird, respectively. While Unfezant's main attack is its powerful STAB Brave Bird, it can also use U-turn to pivot out of unfavorable matchups such as Klinklang, Miltank, Rhydon, and Galarian Stunfisk. Facade provides Unfezant with a strong secondary STAB option once it becomes inflicted by status, as tends to happen, usually by a stray Toxic or Static paralyzation. Super Luck synergizes well with Night Slash and is useful for breaking through certain bulky setup sweepers like Acid Armor Alcremie and Kee Berry Uxie.

Choice Scarf Unfezant fits best on bulky offense teams that can wear down the opposing team so it can clean up. Unfezant can create a VoltTurn core with teammates such as Kabutops and Rotom that collectively weakens its checks. Unfezant could also create a Flying-type spam core with Silvally-Flying, which notably nails Rhydon and Coalossal with Surf. Unfezant also appreciates offensive teammates such as Rapidash and Poliwrath that can help combat Flying-resistant foes. Hattrem is a common sight on Flying-type spam teams, bouncing back Stealth Rock and nailing Rock-types or Steel-types with either Giga Drain or Mystical Fire. Because of Brave Bird recoil and Stealth Rock, as well as Unfezant's tendency to switch in multiple times per game, entry hazard removal from teammates such as Defog Rotom and Gurdurr is much appreciated.

Unfezant also carves itself a niche on offensive teams as a fantastic revenge killer, notably outspeeding and OHKOing two of the most prominent opposing Choice Scarf users, Rotom and Sawk, with Night Slash and Brave Bird respectively. While Unfezant’s main attacking option is its powerful STAB Brave Bird, it can also U-turn to pivot out of unfavorable matchups such as Klinklang, Rocky Helmet Miltank, CoalossalRhydon, and Galarian Stunfisk. (It can't break Miltank without critting anyways so RH is irrelevant, and even though you have Facade, you don't really wanna get Flame Body burn by Coalossal) Facade provides Unfezant with a strong secondary STAB option once it becomes inflicted by status, usually by a stray Toxic or Static paralyzation. Super Luck improves Unfezant's chances of landing a critical hit (first part is a bit fluffy so would mention Night Slash specifically having the added synergy) and breaking through certain bulky setup sweepers like Acid Armor Alcremie and Kee Berry Uxie.

Choice Scarf Unfezant fits best on bulky offense teams that can wear down the opposing team so it can clean up. Unfezant can create a VoltTurn core with teammates such as Kabutops and Morpeko (not sure about Morpeko "weakening" here given it uses Parting Shot, Rotom would be a more obvious example) to collectively weaken its checks. Unfezant could also create a Flying-type spam core with Silvally-Flying, nailing Rhydon and Coalossal with Surf. Because of Brave Bird and Stealth Rock recoil as well as the high likelihood to switch in multiple times per game, entry hazard removal support from teammates such as bulky Rotom or Gurdurr is much appreciated. (Hattrem specifically is good on the Flying spam core teams and could be mentioned despite being a lower ranked mon imo) Unfezant also appreciates offensive teammates such as Rapidash and Poliwrath that can help combat Flying-resistant foes.

Hattrem is also a common sight on Flying-type spam teams, bouncing back Stealth Rock and nailing Flying-resistant foes with either Giga Drain or Mystical Fire. (extend this point to a couple more defensive partners that deal with the Rock-types and Klinklang so it's not just the niche Hattrem) Because of Brave Bird and Stealth Rock recoil as well as the high likelihood to switch in multiple times per game, entry hazard removal support from teammates such as bulky Defog (it's never a bulky investment) Rotom or Gurdurr is much appreciated.
