Flutter Mane leverages its extremely rare offensive typing, good Speed, and decent Special Attack to be a very threatening wallbreaker and cleaner. Flame Orb + Flare Boost gives it a boost that can't be copied by Imposter users alongside a pseudo-immunity to status and Knock Off's item removal. With a Nasty Plot boost, Moongeist Beam does terrifying amounts of damage to Ice Scales users, having odds of OHKOing Ice Scales Arceus formes after Stealth Rock; Flutter Mane's Speed and power also let it offensively pressure other fast offensive threats, such as Ultra Necrozma and Ash-Greninja. Flutter Mane uses Pain Split, which Imposter users can't utilize effectively, as a burst healing option thanks to its low HP stat, offsetting burn damage andallowing it to beat Magic Guard Blissey one-on-one. Flutter Mane fits on balance and offense teams looking for a powerful special wallbreaker and late-game cleaner. Moongeist Beam ignores Ice Scales but not Assault Vest, making Knock Off users like RegenVest Primal Kyogre great partners. Imposter-proofing Flutter Mane can be done by any specially defensive Normal-type with Haze or Topsy-Turvy, usually Imposter Chansey, which can also trade Knock Off with RegenVest users.
