RU Cresselia pseudo

[OVERVIEW]
The problem with Cresselia is that it is extremely passive and has little way to take advantage of its incredible bulk and good resistances, which leave it often taken advantage of by dangerous Pokemon such as Celebi, Reuniclus, and Durant and quickly worn down by status. The dominance of VoltTurn cores and fast-paced nature of the tier mean that pivots like Flygon, Xurkitree, and Cobalion can easily turn it into a defensive liability, while the presence of powerful Psychic-types like Celebi, Necrozma, and Reuniclus means that counters to Cresselia are extremely common and outclass it due to them being less passive.

[SET]
name: Defensive
move 1: Psyshock / Psychic

[SET COMMENTS]
Cresselia is used as a wall that spreads status and counters Pokemon like Noivern, Roserade, and Necrozma. It has a small niche on bulkier defensive teams that can compensate for its passivity. Outside of this, Assault Vest Reuniclus, Necrozma, and Starmie are more useful defensively.

Cresselia is used as a wall, spreading status and countering Pokemon like Noivern, Roserade, and Necrozma, and has a small niche on bulkier defensive teams that can compensate for its passivity. Outside of this, Assault Vest Reuniclus, Necrozma, and Starmie are more useful defensively; almost any other Psychic-type should be used over Cresselia.
