Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 SpD
Impish Nature
- Leech Seed
- Knock Off
- Power Whip / Gyro Ball
- Stealth Rock
Watch out for this durian's rocks! Ferrothorn remains a top-tier pick in National Dex, leveraging its bulk and utility to chip foes with all kinds of chip damage. Leech Seed provides Ferrothorn recovery while wearing down foes like Gliscor, Toxapex, Alomomola, and Landorus-T. Knock Off crucially allows Ferrothorn to punish switch-ins such as Moltres and Volcarona, removing their Heavy-Duty Boots. Power Whip threatens Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Great Tusk, and Hisuian Samurott. Alternatively, Gyro Ball allows Ferrothorn to target threats like Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Roaring Moon. The Special Defense EVs allow Ferrothorn to take a Choice Specs Tapu Lele Focus Blast from full health, with the rest of the EVs invested in Defense to maximize bulk, alongside Leftovers to bolster Ferrothorn's longevity. As a member of the infamous Gliscor + Toxapex + Ferrothorn core, Ferrothorn forms a defensive backbone that many threats struggle to break through. Gliscor complements Ferrothorn's hazards with its own, as well as threatening Gholdengo, while Toxapex checks wallbreakers like Mega Charizard-Y and Zamazenta. In return, Ferrothorn can beat threats like Ogerpon-W, Tapu Lele, and Raging Bolt.
