Bulky Support (Brute Bonnet) @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 132 Def / 124 SpD
Impish Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Spore
- Rage Powder
- Seed Bomb / Pollen Puff


[SET COMMENTS]
Set Details
========
- Brute Bonnet uses its solid stats and supportive movepool to aid its team, threatening common metagame threats such as Calyrex-S and Lunala with Sucker Punch while resisting or being immune to their STAB attacks. It can beat out non-Restricted Pokemon such as Urshifu-R by shutting them down with Spore and finishing them with Seed Bomb. It can shut down most foes with Spore and protect its allies with Rage Powder.
- Moves like Sucker Punch and Seed Bomb prevent Brute Bonnet from being fully passive and ignored or shut down by Taunt. Seed Bomb threatens Urshifu-R and Kyogre. Pollen Puff can heal teammates and threatens opposing Brute Bonnet.
- Covert Cloak ignores Fake Out pressure, which can let Brute Bonnet put a foe to sleep without being stopped.
- The physical bulk investment allows Brute Bonnet to survive Close Combat from the Urshifu formes and Glacial Lance from Calyrex-I. The special bulk investment ensures Focus Sash Flutter Mane will not KO Brute Bonnet with Moonblast. With a Protosynthesis boost, it survives Icicle Crash from Tera Stellar Chien-Pao, Close Combat from Tera Stellar Urshifu formes almost every time, and +1 Body Press from Zamazenta-C.
- Tera Water turns the weaknesses to Fire- and Ice-type moves into resistances, which is helpful against Pokemon such as Chi-Yu and Calyrex-I, and dropping the weaknesses to Fairy- and Fighting-type attacks helps versus the Urshifu formes, Koraidon, and Flutter Mane.

Teambuilding
=========
- Miraidon stops Brute Bonnet from putting grounded foes to sleep with Electric Terrain while also threatening to OHKO Brute Bonnet with Draco Meteor. It is weak to common metagame attacks such as Glacial Lance from Calyrex-I and Body Press from Zamazenta-C.
- Close Combat from the Urshifu formes threatens heavy damage. Follow Me users immune to Spore such as the Ogerpon formes and Safety Goggles Indeedee-F can shut down this Pokemon's Spore and Sucker Punch pressure while also ignoring Rage Powder.
- Koraidon can set sun and bolster Brute Bonnet's defensive capabilities, and it threatens the Urshifu formes and Miraidon with an OHKO. It in turn threatens Psychic-types like Lunala and Calyrex-S for Koraidon. Lunala and Calyrex-S appreciate Brute Bonnet's Sucker Punch pressure against Ghost-types such as opposing Lunala and Calyrex-S, which threaten them, and Rage Powder protects them from opposing Ghost- and Dark-type attacks like Chien-Pao's Sucker Punch, Flutter Mane's Shadow Ball, and Lunala's Moongeist Beam.
- Frail attackers like Flutter Mane and Chi-Yu enjoy redirection support from Rage Powder while also rounding out a sun team core. Flutter Mane threatens Fighting-type attackers like Koraidon and the Urshifu formes, and Chi-Yu threatens Grass-type Pokemon, such as Rillaboom and Amoonguss, which cannot be put to sleep.

Set Details
========
- Brute Bonnet uses its solid stats and supportive movepool to support aid its team, and offer potential damage. It threatens threatening common metagame threats such as Calyrex-S and Lunala with Sucker Punch while resisting or being immune to their STAB attacks. (before you had this into two sections which sounded really choppy.) Spore can shut down most opponents if Electric Terrain is not active (i would cut this, kind of fluff.). Dark type immunity from Prankster Taunt aids in pressuring Spore (more dex info). It can provide great value even when its ability is not active. (It doesn't actually need its ability to support its team, more so to survive. I would mention here how you can beat out common non-restricteds like Urshifu-R, Raging Bolt, and Ursaluna. You could also try smth like this "Brute Bonnet uses its solid stats, supportive movepool, and good defensive and offensive matchups to aid its team...")
- Offensive mMoves like Sucker Punch and Seed Bomb prevent Brute Bonnet from being fully passive and ignored or shut down by Taunt. Seed Bomb threatens Urshifu-R with heavy damage. Rage Powder helps crucial restricted Pokemon teammates stay alive. Pollen Puff can heal teammates even if the opponent uses Taunt. (IMO this whole section should just be about Seed Bomb or Pollen Puff. Mention how Seed Bomb lets Brute Bonnet punish Urshifu-R and Kyogre, the former of which I think you did. For Pollen Puff, instead of just saying it heals opponents, add on that it threatens opposing Brute Bonnet.)
- Covert Cloak ignores Fake Out pressure which can let Brute Bonnet put an opponent to sleep without being stopped. It has the added benefit of preventing a Sacred Fire burn from Ho-Oh. (you take a lot of damage from Sacred Fire anyways, avoiding burn isn't that big.)
- Defensive investment allows Brute Bonnet to survive Close Combat from Urshifu and spread Glacial Lance from Calyrex-I outside of Sun. Body Press from Zamazenta will not KO if the Zamazenta has 156 Defense EVs or lower with an Impish nature. Special Defensive investment ensures Focus Sash Flutter Mane will not KO with Moonblast. (instead of saying "[pokemon name] will not KO Brute Bonnet with [move]", try saying that Brute Bonnet avoids the OHKO or smth. Just sounds very robotic. Also, any calcs with a Protosynthesis Boost?)
- Water Tera turns weaknesses to Fire and Ice into resistances, which is helpful against Chi-Yu, Calyrex-I, and Koraidon which frequently Terastallizes into Fire (i don't see how this really effects Brute Bonnet, cut it). Resisting Calyrex-I is helpful as this Pokemon is often used to support a team’s Trick Room matchup. (fluff. also mention that you drop the Fairy and Fighting weaknesses)

Teambuilding
=========
- Miraidon’s Electric Terrain stops Brute Bonnet from putting grounded opponents to sleep, which is often this Pokemon’s strongest utility. Choice Specs Miraidon is particularly effective as it threatens a KO with Draco Meteor as well as blocking Spore while also threatening to OHKO Brute Bonnet with Draco Meteor. Strong Bug type attacks such as Pollen Puff from Calyrex-S will pressure this Pokemon to Terastallize (bug type attacks are VERY uncommon, instead I would just mention that Brute Bonnet has weaknesses to many common types, and then mention things like Close Combat from Koraidon/Urshifu, Glacial Lance from Calyrex-I, and you can potentially call out U-turn from Incineroar and Rillaboom). Follow Me users immune to Spore such as the Ogerpon formes and Safety Goggles Indeedee-F can shut down this Pokemon’s Spore and Sucker Punch pressure, while also ignoring Rage Powder. Rillaboom can similarly ignore this Pokemon’s entire set, as faster Grassy Glide will cause Sucker Punch to fail. (not too big of an issue for Brute Bonnet. I think calling out some restricted Pokemon would be nice, notably Ho-Oh, Zamazenta-C, and Calyrex-I if you don't mention it above)
- Koraidon can set Sun and bolster Brute Bonnet’s defensive capabilities (and? Mention how they complement each other, with koraidon threatening Miraidon and Urshifu, while Brute Bonnet deals with Lunala and Calyrex-S). Frail attackers like Flutter Mane and Chi-Yu enjoy redirection support from Rage Powder, while also rounding out a Sun team core. Lunala and Calyrex-S appreciate Sucker Punch pressure into opposing Ghost types which threaten them. Water types without too much bulk like Urshifu-R that resist Fire type Sun offense can be finished off by Seed Bomb. (why mention this here?)

Pengu ready for recheck
Most of the Protosynthesis calcs I found were a bit niche, let me know if you think I should include them:
252 Atk Ogerpon-Hearthflame Ivy Cudgel (1.2x Mask Boost) vs. 252 HP / 132+ Def Protosynthesis Brute Bonnet in Sun: 182-216 (83.4 - 99%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
I found this surprising but sun being up just makes the calc worse so I don't think its worth including?
Single target: 252+ Atk Calyrex-Ice Rider Glacial Lance vs. 252 HP / 132+ Def Protosynthesis Brute Bonnet: 168-198 (77 - 90.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Sucker Punch doesn't 2HKO in return so I find this pretty niche.
Also, I don't particularly see how Brute Bonnet beats out Raging Bolt, just by sleeping it?

- Brute Bonnet uses its solid stats and supportive movepool to aid its team, threatening common metagame threats such as Calyrex-S and Lunala with Sucker Punch while resisting or being immune to their STAB attacks. It can beat out non-restricted Pokemon such as Urshifu-R and Ursaluna (looking back on this, Ursaluna probably isn't the best mention because of Flame Orb denying Spore. Also, Raging Bolt was a bad mention lol, I just though of Rage Powder. Instead of Ursaluna, you can probably mention Dondozo).
- Moves like Sucker Punch and Seed Bomb prevent Brute Bonnet from being fully passive and ignored or shut down by Taunt. Seed Bomb threatens Urshifu-R and Kyogre. Pollen Puff can heal teammates even if the opponent uses Taunt, as well as threatening and threatens opposing Brute Bonnets. (You seem to mention Taunt a bit too much, it isn't super common right now so you don't need to mention it so much)

It also survives +1 Body Press from Impish Zamazenta Zamazenta-C (assuming you're referring to the Crowned forme) with 156 Defense EVs. Special (This seems like a weird calculation to base off of because the on-site analysis for Zamazenta-C uses 236 Defense EVs. Is 156 a common investment for a different set not on site?) The special bulk Defensive investment ensures Focus Sash Flutter Mane will not KO Brute Bonnet with Moonblast. With a Protosynthesis boost, it survives Icicle Crash from Tera Stellar Tera Chien-Pao and Close Combat from Tera Stellar Urshifu (which forme(s)?) almost every time. 4 EVs in Speed give an advantage in Brute Bonnet mirrors mirror matchups, (AC) and the remaining EVs are put into Attack. (This leftover Speed investment might go against this post on using leftover EVs to speed creep, in regards to mirror matches. Is there a reason why these leftover 8 EVs can't go into a defensive stat instead?)
- Tera Water turns the weaknesses to Fire- and Ice-types Ice-type moves into resistances, which is helpful against Pokemon such as Chi-Yu and Calyrex-I, and dropping the weaknesses to Fairy- and Fighting-type attacks helps versus the Urshifu formes, Koraidon, (AC) and Flutter Mane.

It can beat out non-Restricted Pokemon such as Urshifu-R by shutting them down with Spore and finishing them with Seed Bomb. It can shut down most foes with Spore and protect its allies with Rage Powder.
- Moves like Sucker Punch and Seed Bomb prevent Brute Bonnet from being fully passive and ignored or shut down by Taunt. Seed Bomb threatens Urshifu-R and Kyogre. Pollen Puff can heal teammates and threatens opposing Brute Bonnet.
- Covert Cloak ignores Fake Out pressure, which can let Brute Bonnet put a foe to sleep without being stopped.
- The physical bulk investment allows Brute Bonnet to survive Close Combat from the Urshifu formes and Glacial Lance from Calyrex-I. The special bulk investment ensures Focus Sash Flutter Mane will not KO Brute Bonnet with Moonblast. With a Protosynthesis boost, it survives Icicle Crash from Tera Stellar Chien-Pao, Close Combat from the Tera Stellar Urshifu formes almost every time, and +1 Body Press from Zamazenta-C.
- Tera Water turns the weaknesses to Fire- and Ice-type moves into resistances, which is helpful against Pokemon such as Chi-Yu and Calyrex-I, and dropping the weaknesses to Fairy- and Fighting-type attacks helps versus the Urshifu formes, Koraidon, and Flutter Mane.

Teambuilding
=========
- Miraidon stops Brute Bonnet from putting grounded foes to sleep with Electric Terrain while also threatening to OHKO Brute Bonnet with Draco Meteor. It is weak to common metagame attacks such as Glacial Lance from Calyrex-I (RC) and Body Press from Zamazenta-C.
- Close Combat from the Urshifu formes threatens heavy damage. Follow Me users immune to Spore such as the Ogerpon formes and Safety Goggles Indeedee-F can shut down this Pokemon's Spore and Sucker Punch pressure while also ignoring Rage Powder.
- Koraidon can set sun and bolster Brute Bonnet's defensive capabilities, and it threatens the Urshifu formes and Miraidon with an OHKO. It in turn threatens Psychic-types like Lunala and Calyrex-S for Koraidon. Lunala and Calyrex-S appreciate Brute Bonnet's Sucker Punch pressure against Ghost-types such as opposing Lunala and Calyrex-S, which threaten them, and Rage Powder protects them from opposing Ghost- and Dark-type attacks like Chien-Pao's Sucker Punch, Flutter Mane's Shadow Ball, and Lunala's Moongeist Beam.
- Frail attackers like Flutter Mane and Chi-Yu enjoy redirection support from Rage Powder while also rounding out a sun team core. Flutter Mane threatens Fighting-type attackers like Koraidon and the Urshifu formes, and Chi-Yu threatens Grass-type Pokemon, such as Rillaboom and Amoonguss, (AC) which cannot be put to sleep.
