Clodsire @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Unaware
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Toxic
- Recover
- Amnesia / Poison Jab
Clodsire remains unaware of the OU tier! Utilizing its immense special bulk, incredible ability in Unaware, and access to reliable recovery, Clodsire stands as a stalwart wall against several of OU's top threats, like Gholdengo and Iron Moth. Its access to Earthquake and Toxic allows Clodsire to pressure targets like Heatran and Iron Valiant better than its fellow wall Blissey, while it can choose between Amnesia to bolster its formidable Special Defense or Poison Jab to handle pesky threats like Hatterene and Substitute Primarina. Tera Dark patches Clodsire's otherwise poor matchup into Psychic-types like Iron Crown, as well as Psychic-type moves like Psychic Noise, Psyshock, and Stored Power. These defensive traits ensure Clodsire shines best on bulky and stall teams, with teammates like Clefable and the aforementioned Blissey. The former checks physical threats like Dragonite and Great Tusk that Clodsire can struggle with, while the latter can cover the few special attackers that beat Clodsire, like Walking Wake.
Check out Clodsire in action in SPL, on a unique bulky team featuring Mandibuzz and Sinistcha!
