Bisharp @ Eviolite

EVs: 80 HP / 232 Atk / 20 Def / 176 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Throat Chop
- Sucker Punch
- Iron Head
[SET COMMENTS]
Bisharp's Steel typing along with the extra bulk provided by Eviolite allows it to lure in unsuspecting checks to the non-Eviolite Bisharp set such as Ogerpon-H and Choice Specs Flutter Mane, setup on them with Swords Dance or KO them outright. Defiant allows Bisharp to fulfill its role as a Defog dissuader and also punish the use of Sticky Web from the likes of Galvantula and Araquanid. Throat Chop serves as Bisharp's primary Dark-type STAB move of choice and when paired with Swords Dance deals great damage to bulkier threats like Raging Bolt and Amoonguss. Sucker Punch allows Bisharp to KO fast Pokemon like Dragapult, Hoopa-U, and Choice item Spectrier while Iron Head removes Fairy-types like Primarina and Galarian Weezing. 80 HP and 20 Defense EVs allows Bisharp to get 3HKOd by Ogerpon-W's Ivy Cudgel, and survive an Earthquake from most common Garchomp sets. 176 Speed EVs allows Bisharp to outspeed Moltres, Articuno, Archaludon, and Azumarill while also surviving Azumarill's boosted Aqua Jet thanks to the bulk granted by Eviolite.
Bisharp appreciates Spikes setters like Ting-Lu and Hisuian Samurott as the chip damage caused by Spikes allows Bisharp to break through bulkier targets like Archaludon and Hippowdon easier. Strong special attackers like Greninja and Darkrai help Bisharp by breaking down strong physical walls like Skarmory and defensive Great Tusk while also using their high Speed and Psychic-type coverage to remove Fighting-types like Iron Valiant and Keldeo. Sableye acts as a good defensive switch into Fighting-type attacks and also spreads burns to physical Fighting-type attackers like Sneasler and Iron Hands. Sableye also crucially can burn Skarmory, which allows Bisharp to not get KO'd from its Body Press. Alolan Muk acts as a good special attack sponge that can take hits from Enamorus and Kyurem while using Knock Off to remove items like Choice Specs, allowing Bisharp to handle them better with its improved Eviolite-boosted bulk. Meowscarada can use its Protean-boosted Triple Axel or Play Rough to check speedy threats Like Roaring Moon while also breaking through threats like Great Tusk and Swampert. Mandibuzz acts as a great support for Bisharp with its part Flying typing allowing it to take Fighting and Ground-type attacks easily while using Defog to remove hazards and U-turn to get it safely onto the field.
