Farigiraf @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Armor Tail
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 160 HP / 132 Def / 116 SpA / 100 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psychic
- Hyper Voice
- Trick Room
- Helping Hand

Farigiraf is a versatile support option in the Doubles metagame, notorious for blocking Fake Out amongst other opposing priority moves thanks to Armor Tail. This palindrome Pokemon is capable of dealing respectable damage with Psychic, chipping down both opponents with Hyper Voice for its teammates' attacks and damaging opponents behind Substitute, setting Trick Room, and boosting its allies' damage with Helping Hand. Tera Fairy removes Farigiraf's weakness to Dark-types such as Chien-Pao and Kingambit, grants an immunity to the rising star Regidrago's STAB moves, and provides a defensively neutral type to the metagame, allowing it to support its allies longer. The EV spread allows Farigiraf to survive Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave and Regidrago's Dragon Energy, along with making Ogerpon-W's Ivy Cudgel a 3HKO with Sitrus Berry. Farigiraf pairs well with offensive threats that cannot afford to be disrupted by priority attacks such as Ursaluna-B and Regidrago by preventing Fake Out from Incineroar and Grassy Glide from Rillaboom, along with increasing their damage output with Helping Hand. Gholdengo also appreciates Farigiraf's support preventing Sucker Punch from Chien-Pao.

imprison is useful, but we decided it would be better to have hvoice here, and move the speed investment to spa. thanks! hyper voice helps against sub landorus for example, if you need an idea for what to replace the imprison text with.

Farigiraf is a versatile support option in the Doubles metagame, notorious for blocking opposing priority moves thanks to its ability Armor Tail. it's mentioned in the last sentence but i'd highlight blocking fake out right out the gate, that is really important. This palindrome Pokemon is capable of dealing respectable damage with Psychic, damaging opponents behind substitute like Landorus using Hyper Voice, setting Trick Room, and boosting its allies' damage with Helping Hand. the more important point re: Hyper Voice is that it puts foes in range of attacks from partners like Iron Hands, Ursaluna-B, or Torkoal. Tera Fairy removes Farigiraf's weakness to Dark-Types such as Chien-Pao and Kingambit, grants an immunity to the rising star Regidrago, and provides a defensively neutral type into the metagame, allowing it to support its allies longer. The EV spread allows Farigiraf to survive Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave and Regidrago's Dragon Energy, alongside making Ogerpon-W's Ivy Cudgel a 3hKO with Sitrus Berry. Farigiraf pairs well with Ursaluna-B preventing Rillaboom's Fake Out and Grassy Glide, alongside increasing its damage output with Helping Hand. Gholdengo appreciates Farigiraf's support preventing Sucker Punch from Chien-Pao and Regidrago also appreciates Farigiraf preventing Fake Out from Incineroar and Rillaboom, preventing Trick Room from Diancie and Porygon2, as well as boosting its damage with Helping Hand. all the pokemon examples are fine but i would mention a note about farigiraf generally thriving on more aggressive structures that can't afford to have their momentum halted by fake out and other priority as long as there's space
