Sticky Web (Araquanid) @ Custap Berry
Ability: Water Bubble
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 SpA or 252 HP / 216 Atk / 40 Def
Modest / Adamant Nature

- Surf / Liquidation
- Endure

[SET COMMENTS]

Araquanid functions as the tier's premier Sticky Web setter, leveraging its good natural bulk and access to Magic Coat to reliably get up Sticky Web while also denying entry hazards. Surf is usually used in order to OHKO Landorus-T and Great Tusk, preventing the latter from removing Sticky Web, while Liquidation hits Ting-Lu and Gliscor for greater damage. Bug Buzz and Leech Life are also both options in order to hit Ogerpon-W, which would otherwise use Araquanid as setup fodder and can give Sticky Web teams some trouble otherwise. Endure combines well with Custap Berry, allowing Araquanid to get an extra hit off on foes or potentially get Sticky Web up again against Rapid Spin or Defog users such as Great Tusk and Landorus-T. Endeavor is also an option, pairing well with Endure and Custap Berry to bring foes that resist Araquanid's Water-type attacks, such as Ferrothorn and Kyurem, down to low HP. Magic Coat is used in order to prevent hazards from foes such as Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn while also stopping Taunt from foes such as Landorus-T. 40 Defense EVs allow Araquanid to survive two of Jolly Hisuian Samurott's Ceaseless Edges from full health.

Araquanid fits solely on Sticky Web hyper offense structures. Slower wallbreakers such as Raging Bolt and Hisuian Samurott appreciate Araquanid's Sticky Web compensating for their below-average Speed stats, letting them outspeed and threaten foes such as Iron Valiant and Zamazenta. Gholdengo blocks Rapid Spin and Defog, helping to keep Sticky Web up, and benefits from them Sticky Web allowing it to sweep with Nasty Plot more easily. Other setup sweepers such as Ogerpon-W and Great Tusk also appreciate the Sticky Web support Araquanid provides, preventing Pokemon such as Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant from revenge killing them as easily. As Araquanid often struggles to get Sticky Web up in the face of Mega Diancie, Flying-types such as Tornadus-T, and Electric-types such as Tapu Koko, Steel-types such as the aforementioned Gholdengo and Mega Scizor are appreciated. In return, they benefit from Sticky Web slowing down foes such as Heatran and Hisuian Samurott while also appreciating Araquanid providing a switch-in against Fire-type foes such as Heatran, Volcarona, and Cinderace.

Araquanid functions as the tiers premier Sticky Web setter, leveraging its good natural bulk and access to support in Magic Coat in order to reliably get up Sticky Web while also denying hazards. Surf is usually used in order to hit Landorus-T and Great Tusk's lower special defence OHKO Landorus-T and Great Tusk, preventing the latter from removing Sticky Web, while Liquidation is another option, combining well with Araquanid's higher attack stat filler; better off mentioning it hits ting lu and glisc harder than surf would. Bug Buzz and Leech Life are also both options in order to hit Ogerpon-W who would otherwise be able to comfortably switch in on Araquanid's Water-type attacks use Araquanid as setup fodder. Endure combines well with Custap Berry, allowing Araquanid to get an extra hit off on opponents, or potentially get Sticky Web up again against a Rapid Spin or Defog user such as?. Magic Coat allows Araquanid to deny opposing entry hazards, while also letting it bypass moves such as Taunt that would otherwise stop it from getting up Sticky Web. uve already said this at the start Endeavor is also an option, pairing well with Endure and Custap Berry, allowing Araquanid to bring foes that would otherwise resist its Water-type attacks down to low HP such as?. 40 Defense EVs allows Araquanid to survive 2 Jolly Hisuian Samurott Ceaseless Edges from full.

Araquanid fits solely on Sticky Web hyper offense structures, where it can leverage its good bulk and utlility options in order to reliably set Sticky Web and deny hazards. Slower breakers such as Mega Medicham Raging Bolt mmedi on HO is really mid appreciate Araquanids Sticky Web compensating for its below average speed stat, letting it outspeed and threaten foes such as Iron Valiant and Zamazenta. Gholdengo also acts as an excellent teammate, being able to block both Rapid Spin and Defog, helping to keep Sticky Web up, while also benefitting from them allowing it to sweep with Nasty Plot more easily. Other Set-up sweepers such as Ogerpon-W, Great Tusk and Raging Bolt also all appreciate the Sticky Web support Araquanid provides preventing Pokemon such as Tapu-Lele and Iron Valiant form revenge-killing them as easily. As Araquanid often struggles to get Sticky Web up in the face of Hatterene and Mega-Diancie, as well as Flying-types such as Tornadus-T, Steel-types such as the aforementioned Gholdengo and Mega-Scizor are appreciated. In return they benefit from Sticky Web slowing down foes such as Heatran and Samurott-Hisui for them, while also appreciating Araquanid providing a Fire-type switchin against foes such as Heatran, Volcarona and Cinderace.

Bug Buzz and Leech Life are also both options in order to hit Ogerpon-W who would otherwise use Araquanid as setup fodder and can give Sticky Web teams some trouble otherwise. Might as well be explicit about this since some Web teams just instalose if Pon gets setup vs Araq. Endure combines well with Custap Berry, allowing Araquanid to get an extra hit off on opponents, or potentially get Sticky Web up again against a Rapid Spin or Defog user such as Great Tusk or Landorus-T. Endeavor is also an option, pairing well with Endure and Custap Berry, allowing Araquanid to bring foes that would otherwise resist its Water-type attacks down to low HP such as Ferrothorn and Kyurem.
